Ruttershausen is a district of the city of Lollar in the central Hessian district of Gießen , until the end of 1971 it was an independent municipality. Ruttershausen has about 1,300 inhabitants (as of 2006) and is located between the university towns of Gießen and Marburg directly on the Lahn , 10 km north of Gießen, 22 km south of Marburg. The place was first mentioned in a document in 1256 (as Ruthartishusen ), but was probably founded in Franconian times. The town center and settlement focus lies west of the Lahn. The Kirchberg east of the Lahn belongs to the district of Ruttershausen with an art-historically significant late Gothic hall church , which is the main attraction of the place. Kirchberg was an early place of jurisdiction and the center of a parish to which, apart from Ruttershausen, several surrounding villages and communities belonged.

Geographical location

Lahnbrücke from 1901, which now serves almost exclusively for inner-city traffic. It replaced previous wooden structures as part of the construction of the Main-Weser Railway

Ruttershausen lies in a wide low-terrace arable plain of the Lahn valley, the so-called valley widening of Ruttershausen . The place, recognizable by its type of development as a real estate dividing village, has mainly become a place to live for workers and employees, initially with jobs in Lollar (Buderus-Werke), but then also in Gießen, Wetzlar and Marburg. The modern development of the settlement took place since the 1970s up the slope against the Lützel and Altenberg. In Ruttershausen there is only one full-time agricultural business, an emigrant farm in Kirchberg. The place is likely to have existed as early as in Franconian times as a legal protection of the old high road Herborn - Amöneburg crossing the river on a ford, which led between Altenberg and Lützelberg through to Ruttershausen - Kirchberg and on via Staufenberg - Mainzlar, where it connected the " Langen Hessen " found.

Until the construction of the railway in 1846/47, the Lahn flowed in an arch directly past the foot of the Kirchberger Kopf, so that between this and Ruttershausen there was a wide floodplain, from which the village on the Niederterrasse was often flooded during floods. By cutting the loop of the river through the railway line, a new, straight course was achieved that leads directly past the village. Since then, Ruttershausen has been largely protected against flooding because the water masses can drain away more quickly.

Opposite Ruttershausen, on the eastern bank of the Lahn, the steep cliff of the Kirchberg rises directly from the Lahnaue. The natural, cultural and political-geographic location makes the Lahntalenge from Ruttershausen-Kirchberg a clear demarcation between the Marburg and Giessen Lahntal. Its exposed location - which is no longer so clearly recognizable today due to the straightening of the Lahn - predestined the Kirchberg for the construction of a court and place of worship as early as the Germanic times.

history

The Evangelical Church in Kirchberg

Before the 12th century

The area around Lollar and Staufenberg was inhabited by Neanderthals as early as the Paleolithic . There is several archaeological evidence for this, in particular the finds from Totenberg near nearby Staufenberg-Treis (dated 120,000–80,000 BC).

For Ruttershausen itself, an ax from the Neolithic period is named as the earliest find, dating back to between 4000 and 3000 BC. Was dated. However, neither the exact location nor the time of the find (before 1938, since it was mentioned for the first time in that year), nor the whereabouts have been clarified. The oldest secured archaeological evidence for Ruttershausen is two Bronze Age barrows from around 1500 BC. In the Ruttershäuser "Wehrholz". The Celtic settlement began in this area around 800 BC. The best example is the Keltenburg on the Dünsberg. There was probably also a Celtic settlement on the Altenberg near Ruttershausen, but no archaeological finds have so far been found.

The area around Ruttershausen belonged in the Franconian period (600-800 AD) to the Oberlahngau , which had its administrative seat on the Amöneburg . The later so-called Centgericht Kirchberg may already have existed as a lower administrative unit . The Kirchberg rock above the Lahn, on which the late Gothic hall church, built around 1500 now stands (see Kirchberg), was probably used as a Germanic place of worship and court in pre-Christian times. A first church was built there later in the course of Christianization between 700 and 800 (although the presumed foundation by Irish-Scottish monks of Boniface's pupil Lullus around 780 is unsecured). The early importance of Kirchberg as the center of a parish probably established from Mainz and as a place of jurisdiction (Centgericht) speaks in favor of a Franconian or even pre-Franconian-Germanic foundation. In its importance for settlement and territorial development as the earliest parish center on the northern boundary of the Giessen basin , Kirchberg is the counterpart to Grossen-Linden for the southern Giessen basin. The territorial disputes over this key point between Hesse and the Archdiocese of Mainz shifted to one between Hesse and Nassau in the 14th century.

12th to 14th centuries

  • 1227 The Ruttershäuser Kirchberg is mentioned for the first time in a document dated March 2, 1227, in which a plebanus (parish priest ) Reinherus de Kyrberg signs as a witness in a legal dispute.
  • 1256 Ruttershausen is mentioned for the first time in the will of Konrad von Merenberg. He was one of the lords of Gleiberg Castle and bequeathed his possessions in villa Ruthartishusen ( in the village of Ruttershausen ) to the Teutonic Order in Marburg. This document is dated October 1st, 1256 and is now in the Hessian State Archives in Marburg. The document only states that the village of Ruttershausen already existed at that time, but not when it was founded. Historical research assumes that Hessian places with the ending -hausen probably date from the Franconian-Merovingian period (around 600–750 AD). The name is explained by the fact that a man named Ruthard founded a farm around which the village later developed.
  • 1328 The male line of the Merenberg counts die out; the Kirchberg and Ruttershausen court falls to the Nassau-Weilburg family through the marriage of the heiress.
  • 1366 Johann von Nassau had a castle built near Kirchberg, which was destroyed again in 1370 by the Hessian Landgrave Heinrich II, who "made 20 well-fortified men prisoners".
  • 1396 On July 21, 1396, Landgrave Hermann II of Hesse and his brother-in-law Philipp von Nassau-Weilburg exchanged half of Grossen-Linden for half of the Kirchberg court. The common land on the Lahn is created ( common here means common property ).

15th to 17th centuries

  • 1495–1508 The late Gothic hall church in Kirchberg is built today. Parts of a previous building, in particular the tower, are used, as are the bells from the years 1310, 1380 and 1432.
  • 1527 The Reformation is introduced in the Kirchberg parish - and thus in Ruttershausen.
  • 1568 After the death of Landgrave Philip the Magnanimous, who for the last time united all of the Hessian regions under his reign, the Landgraviate was divided among his four sons. The common land on the Lahn comes with the rest of the then Upper Hesse to Landgrave Ludwig IV of Hesse-Marburg.
  • 1577 A school is established for the first time in Kirchberg, but it only exists for a short time until 1582. In 1586 the children of Ruttershausen received the right to go to school in Staufenberg.
  • 1585 The common land on the Lahn is divided between Hessen-Marburg and Nassau-Weilburg. The Kirchberg court thus becomes the sole property of Hessen-Marburg.
  • 1591 Wilhelm Dilich published his synopsis descriptionis totius Hassiae with 50 pen drawings of Hessian cities that year . Below is a view of Staufenberg with the Kirchberg, Lahn and Ruttershausen in the foreground. On this drawing, which is also the oldest view of the village, you can already see a bridge over the Lahn and in Ruttershausen the tower of the aristocratic manor.
  • 1604 After the death of Landgrave Ludwig IV, the Landgraviate of Hesse-Marburg is divided between his two nephews, the Landgraves of Hesse-Kassel and Hesse-Darmstadt. Ruttershausen has been part of Hessen-Darmstadt since then. As a result, protracted armed conflicts (" Hessenkrieg ") between Hessen-Kassel and Hessen-Darmstadt are conducted over the Upper Hessian legacy .
  • 1618–1648 The Thirty Years' War also hits Ruttershausen and Kirchberg with devastating consequences. The plague raged in the parish, in 1629 so massive that the dead were no longer registered, in 1635 more than 250 people died of it. In 1636 Swedish troops camped in the parish, in 1640 Bavarian troops caused great damage to Ruttershausen and the surrounding villages.
  • 1645-1648 Towards the end of the 30-year war, the conflict culminates around the Upper Hessian heritage in regional Hessian War . Except for a few buildings, Ruttershausen is cremated and the rectory on the Kirchberg is devastated. In the course of this armed conflict, Gleiberg Castle was also destroyed (1646) and on May 27, 1647 the Staufenberg Upper Castle "was thrown over the heap and cremated". In 1620, at the beginning of the Thirty Years' War, Ruttershausen had 125 inhabitants, in 1640 81 and 1660, twelve years after the end of the war, only 72. Only in 1740 there were 140 inhabitants again.

18th century

  • 1748–1752 An almost 50-year dispute between Ruttershausen and Odenhausen over a 20 acre piece of forest above the Wehrholz was ended in 1748. Ruttershausen receives twelve acres, Odenhausen eight. A similar dispute arose about the Mausberg (Ruttershausen head), which belonged to Ruttershausen, but was in the Odenhausen district and thus on Nassau territory. The new forest regulations issued there in 1750 forbade the Ruttershäuser from grazing. The dispute dragged on until 1752, after which the Ruttershausen property on Mausberg and the associated grazing rights were finally recognized.
  • 1756–1763 The Seven Years' War also hits Upper Hesse hard. In August 1757 an army of 15,000 men marched through the Kirchberg parish. In 1758 there was a skirmish in front of the Tiefenbach. In 1759 the French lay opposite each other on the left bank of the Lahn and the English and Brunswick on the right bank of the Lahn for over four months. Although there is no fighting, the damage is great. The supply of these armies demands the last of the population and also affects the forest strongly.
  • 1761–1780 Once again there was a dispute between Ruttershausen on the one hand and Odenhausen in Nassau on the other over grazing rights in the forest. This time it's about the "Hohenschied", where Ruttershausen has the grazing rights. In 1761 the grazing of the Hohenschieds is forbidden by the Nassau government for five years so that the forest can recover from the war damage of 1759. But even after the blocking period has expired, Nassau prohibits the resumption of grazing. Ruttershausen only got his rights back in 1780 after almost 20 years of protracted dispute.

19th century

  • 1794–1814 In the course of the French Revolutionary Wars, later the Napoleonic Wars, the various warring factions repeatedly marched through and billeted over the years. Sometimes the village is full of troops all year round, demanding food and lodging for people and animals, firewood, post-tensioning services, cattle, horses and, above all, money. As early as 1806, the community had "no more pennies in the cash register" and by 1814 the debt was 6,800 guilders. Even 25 years later, this sum has not yet been paid off, in 1838 there are still debts of 930 guilders. After the Battle of the Nations near Leipzig (October 1813), Napoleon's brother Jerome ("King Lustig") spent the night on the run from the troops of the allies in what was then the "Zum Adler" inn in Kirchberg (house name "Wirtsbauer").
  • The statistical-topographical-historical description of the Grand Duchy of Hesse reports on Ruttershausen in 1830:

"Ruttershausen (L. Bez. Giessen) evangel. Branch village; is 1 1 ⁄ 2  St. from Giessen, has 56 houses with Kirchberg and 326 inhabitants who are Protestant apart from 1 Catholics and 15 Jews. - The place used to appear under the name Ruthartshusen . It belonged jointly to Hessen and Nassau until this community was abolished in 1585 and it came exclusively to Hessen. "

  • 1832 The first existing school is built in Ruttershausen.
  • 1846 Construction of the Main-Weser Railway begins. The Lahn near Ruttershausen is being straightened for the construction of the railway and has since then flowed directly past the village. The first train arrives in Lollar in 1850. From May 15, 1851, the Kassel - Frankfurt route can be used continuously. Although the railway line runs through the Ruttershausen district, Ruttershausen has no train station or stop. The reason was probably the proximity of the Lollar train station.
  • 1853 Construction of a new wooden bridge over the Lahn. Bridge fees are charged.
  • 1869 Construction of the valley road to Odenhausen.
  • 1887 The Ruttershausen men's choir "Frohsinn" is founded. After the First World War , this association and another association called "Concordia", founded in 1906, merged to form the "Gesangverein Ruttershausen", which is the oldest association in the village. In 1907 two gymnastics clubs are founded.

20th century

Former School from 1913 which supplemented a school building from 1832
  • 1901 The wooden bridge over the Lahn, built in 1853, is demolished and replaced by the stone bridge that still exists today. 387 inhabitants live in the village.
  • 1912/13 Ruttershausen receives electric light in 1912. In 1913 the "new" school was built and was used until 1970.
  • 1914–1918 During the First World War, a total of 30 young men from Ruttershausen fell on the front lines. With the abolition of the monarchy and the abdication of the Grand Duke, Ruttershausen now belongs to the People's State of Hesse that emerged from the Grand Duchy.
  • 1933 The seizure of power by the National Socialists on January 30, 1933 initially had no major impact on Ruttershausen. Unlike in many cities and municipalities, the mayor remains in office.
  • 1942 Two Ruttershäuser of Jewish faith fall victim to the Nazi racial madness. Both were picked up by the Gestapo on September 14, 1942 as part of the so-called "Final Solution" and later deported to the Theresienstadt concentration camp, where they perished in the following two years.
  • 1939–1945 During the Second World War - in contrast to the First World War - the village was also directly affected by the events of the war. In addition to the constant bombing alarms, there were also numerous low-flying attacks towards the end of the war. With 55 fallen and missing, the number of victims in the place has almost doubled compared to the First World War. On April 11, 1943, Ruttershausen was hit by numerous incendiary bombs. Around noon on February 17, 1945, a carpet of bombs barely missed the village. On the afternoon of March 28, 1945, American armored troops advance into Ruttershausen and occupy the village. However, there is no fighting, the war is over for Ruttershausen.
  • 1946 The first displaced persons and refugees arrive. They are initially quartered in the village and in specially built makeshift homes in Kirchberg. Many of them stay in Ruttershausen and build up a new existence in the following years. Ruttershausen now belongs to the state of Hesse that was newly formed by the American military government.
  • 1953–1957 Construction of water supply and sewerage.
  • 1970 After an unsuccessful "school strike", the Ruttershausen elementary school is closed. From September 1970, elementary school students will also go to Lollar, after this has been the case for the older age groups since 1961.
  • 1974 A community house is built.
  • 1976 From August 31, 1976, an independent parish in Kirchberg-Ruttershausen is set up.
  • 1977 The Am Hellenberg building area is opened up from 1977. Due to the attractiveness of the new building area, the population of Ruttershausen rose to 1100 inhabitants by 1982. After the development, the districts of Ruttershausen and Odenhausen merge seamlessly on the eastern slope of the Lützelberg.
  • 1991 The "Querspange", a new connection between Ruttershausen and the core city of Lollar, is completed. It bridges the railway line and the Lahn. The old level crossing between Ruttershausen and Kirchberg will be closed. A large kindergarten is being built in Leipziger Strasse, where many migrant children are also looked after.
  • 2006 Ruttershausen celebrates its first documentary mention 750 years ago and is included in the village renewal program of the state of Hesse. The population has grown to 1,300.

Territorial history and administration

The following list gives an overview of the territories in which Ruttershausen was located and the administrative units to which it was subordinate:

Courts since 1803

In the Landgraviate of Hesse-Darmstadt , the judicial system was reorganized in an executive order of December 9, 1803. The “Hofgericht Gießen” was set up as a court of second instance for the province of Upper Hesse . The jurisdiction of the first instance was carried out by the offices or registry lords and thus the "Landamt Gießen" was responsible for Ruttershausen. The court court was the second instance court for normal civil disputes, and the first instance for civil family law cases and criminal cases. The superior court of appeal in Darmstadt was superordinate .

With the establishment of the Grand Duchy of Hesse in 1806, this function was retained, while the tasks of the first instance were transferred to the newly created regional and city courts in 1821 as part of the separation of jurisdiction and administration. " Landgericht Gießen " was therefore the name of the court of first instance from 1821 to 1879, which was also responsible for Ruttershausen.

On the occasion of the introduction of the Courts Constitution Act on October 1, 1879, the previous regional and city courts in the Grand Duchy of Hesse were repealed and replaced by local courts in the same place, as was the case with the higher courts, whose function was now taken over by the newly established regional courts. The districts of the city and regional court of Gießen were merged and now, together with the towns of Allertshausen and Climbach , which previously belonged to the district court of Grünberg, formed the district of the newly created district court of Gießen, which has since been part of the district of the newly established regional court of Gießen . Between January 1, 1977 and August 1, 1979, the court was called "District Court Lahn-Gießen", which was renamed "District Court Gießen" when the city of Lahn was dissolved. In the Federal Republic of Germany, the superordinate instances of the District Court of Gießen, the Regional Court of Gießen , the Higher Regional Court of Frankfurt am Main and the Federal Court of Justice are the last instance.

population

Population development

Until 1938 the number of inhabitants of Ruttershausen never exceeded 500. After the end of the war, Ruttershausen had to take in large numbers of displaced persons and refugees from the east and south-east. By 1980 the population grew to 1,000 people. Ruttershausen experienced the greatest expansion from 1977 onwards with the large-scale new building area "Am Hellenberg". On December 31, 2005, Ruttershausen had 1,298 inhabitants, 144 of whom were foreign citizens. 707 citizens are Protestant, 192 Catholic, of the remaining 400 many are Muslim.

302 children and young people live in Ruttershausen, 23% of all citizens. 178 residents are over 67 years old (14%). In the center, however, 93 inhabitants (21%) are over 67 years old, so one can speak of an aging of the center.

The demographic change in Ruttershausen has been strongly influenced by work migration ("guest workers") since the 1960s. Of a total of 134 residents in the residential area "An der Alten Lahn", which is predominantly inhabited by Turks, 81 (60%) are under 26 years of age. In comparison, only 27% of residents in the town center are in this age group. About half of the children born in Ruttershausen in recent years are of the Muslim faith.

Culture and sights

The Kirchberg

The Kirchberg in a picture from 1844 (Staufenberg in the background on the right)

See the main article   Kirchberg (Lahn)

Above Ruttershausen, a rocky outcrop rises above the Lahn to the east, which is first referred to as Kirchberg in a document from 1227 . Presumably a pagan place of worship and court ( Thingstätte ) was located there in earlier times , which was then converted into a Christian place of worship during the Christianization of Hesse in the 8th century. This church became the mother church of the Kirchberg parish, which in addition to Ruttershausen also included the towns of Staufenberg, Lollar, Mainzlar, Daubringen, Heibertshausen, Einshausen, ceilingbach and Wißmar. In 1237 Kirchberg was the seat of the court in the County of Ruchesloh .

The late Gothic hall church on the Kirchberg, which is significant in art history, was built from 1495 to 1508. Parts of a previous building, especially the tower, were used. The bells date from the years 1310, 1380 and 1432. The valuable pieces of equipment include the large late Gothic crucifix on the altar, the rococo case of the organ and three colored double tombstones from around 1600. 2008 marked the 500th anniversary of the church fair celebrated.

Customs and festivals

There are annual festivals in Ruttershausen. Some of them have a decades-long tradition. The focus is on the fair in July, which is organized by the boys and girls in the village - Echte Käs (which means real guys ) and Ruttershäuser Amazons . A special tradition is the auction of unmarried, confirmed girls and young women on the night of May 1st by the members of the fraternity (so-called lending contract ) to the exclusion of the public. Whoever wins the bid decorates the entrance area of ​​the house of the auctioneer with freshly cut branches. On the occasion of the fair in Ruttershausen, the May Queen is announced to the village population and crowned, i.e. the one who achieved the highest price at the auction.

Another special feature is the so-called Steibern : On the night before a couple's church wedding, movable goods from their households (e.g. garden furniture, flower boxes, etc.) are collected at a central point in the place - originally at the public dispensary box . The background was that marriages with a bad prognosis had to be specially "supported" for their durability, in which one symbolically "supported" the mobilization box with all kinds of household items of the groom and the bride.

Kirchbergforum

Another attraction is the "Kirchbergforum" chamber music series founded by Heinz Bauer (former President of the University of Gießen) in 2000. It offers a high level thanks to the young musicians performing there, who are specifically selected by the organizer at music colleges, competitions and master classes. There are around six concerts per year in the church or in a private "chamber" of the former rectory. The "Kirchbergforum Jazz" was founded in 2005 with the support of the "Central Hessian Cultural Summer".

Economy and Infrastructure

Citizen solar system

In May 2007 the city of Lollar presented the building of the community house in the Ruttershausen district as a suitable property for a photovoltaic system . This "citizen solar power plant" on the community building consists of individual photovoltaic systems of private citizens who do not have a suitable roof themselves. The system produces a total of around 26,000 kWh per year.

tourism

Ruttershausen is located directly on the Lahn and the Lahntal cycle path , which extends over a total of 235 km from the source to the confluence with the Rhine. The Lumdatal and Salzbödetal cycle paths also run right past Ruttershausen. In the summer, over 300 cyclists ride through Ruttershausen every day.

Ruttershausen has a large campsite right on the Lahn. There is a guest house in Ruttershausen, Lollar has around 100 guest rooms. The city of Lollar is affiliated with the Lahntal Tourismus Verband eV and the Lumdatal Tourism Association . Marketing for tourism in the region is organized from Giessen. Ruttershausen is the destination and starting point for boat and paddle tours on the Lahn, which are organized by various providers.

Kindergarten and school

In Ruttershausen there is a kindergarten where children from the neighboring districts of Odenhausen and Salzboden are also looked after in the afternoons. The Ruttershausen kindergarten is an important point of contact for the foreign children from the residential area “An der Alten Lahn”. You receive early language training in kindergarten, which is then continued in school.

The former village school of Ruttershausen served as a primary school until 1970. Since then the children of the village in Lollar have been attending primary school. The Lollar elementary school (approx. 330 pupils) is an all-day school with a care offer that also includes homework support for migrant children.

The Lollarer Clemens-Brentano-Europaschule offers three branches: Gymnasium, Realschule and Hauptschule. It is within walking distance for the Ruttershausen students.

traffic

Ruttershausen is extremely conveniently connected to the motorway network. The Frankfurt-Gießen-Kassel motorway can be reached in a few minutes via the Staufenberg motorway exit. The Giessen-Marburg-Kassel line will be expanded to four lanes over the next few years. Giessen is 10 km away, Marburg 22 km, Frankfurt 85 km.

Lollar is a stop on the Frankfurt-Kassel federal railway line, the so-called Main-Weser Railway. From here there is a connection to the university towns of Gießen and Marburg. Another stop of the train is the nearby Lollar-Friedelhausen. Several bus routes connect Lollar with Gießen, Marburg and the Lumdatal.
