Salmshausen is a district of Schrecksbach in the north Hessian Schwalm-Eder district . Seven courtyards form the center of the village .

geography

The village Salmshausen is on the river Schwalm in the same cultural area Schwalm and natural area Schwalm . Due to the earlier regular flooding in the Schwalmtal, the center of the village is set back from the river on the south-western slope of the valley. Since the completion of the Heidelbach flood retention basin in 1968, the danger of flooding has largely been averted and the valley floor itself can also be used for arable farming. The south-western, village-side valley slope consists of rocks of the middle red sandstone , overlaid by tertiary sediments, some of which contain tuber quartzites and tertiary basalts. The Wipperstein natural monument, located outside the district between Röllshausen , Holzburg and Merzhausen , also belongs to the quartzites . Larger areas of the valley slope facing the village are covered with ice age loess , which has led to better soils than on the eastern valley slope, which consists of Buntsandstein rocks. Between Salmshausen and Zella there is a hill within the river sediments of the Schwalm valley, which overlooks the valley floor surrounding it by approx. 10 m. It is very likely a mountain of the Schwalm , because like the surrounding slopes of the valley, it is made of red sandstone and is not a hard rock .

The federal highway 254 runs east of the village , to which it is connected via a district road. The Hessian long -distance cycle path R4 and the Schwalm cycle path run through the village .

history

The small village was first mentioned in a document in 1050. During the Thirty Years' War , the village was defeated on November 14, 1640, the day before the battle on Riebelsdorfer Berg , as well as Nieder Grenzebach , Steina , Leimbach , Loshausen , Ransbach and Zella , by imperial troops of the General Hans Rudolf von Breda burned down completely.

In Salmshausen there has been a bridge over the Schwalm since at least 1331. A newer bridge with a pillar and abutments made of natural stone was replaced in 1984 by a reinforced concrete bridge, the abutments of which are clad with sandstone.

In 1945/46 there were 70 evacuees and refugees in Salmshausen, out of a resident population of 102 people.

There is a former village blacksmith's shop in the village .

On January 1, 1974, the previously independent community Salmshausen was in the course of administrative reform in Hesse powerful state law in the greater community Schrecksbach incorporated .

church

The Protestant church in Salmshausen was built south of the settlement next to the cemetery in 1954 (date of the weather vane). The building is a simple hall construction with three window axes with an adjusted church tower in the southwest and a chancel attached as a small structure. Each component is covered by its own gable roof , the slated tower has a curved hood . A flat ceiling with beam beams covers the community room, and a round arch opens up to the slightly raised, barrel-vaulted chancel . The simple equipment comes from the construction period.

The bell is older. The metal comes from the bells of a church that burned down in 1634 or 1635, from which a new bell was cast. Several hundred years later, this was transferred to the new church.

Culture

A large hall for agricultural machines was used for high school graduation celebrations for several years, which has significantly increased the awareness of the small town in the region.
