history

middle Ages

The oldest surviving tradition for sand comes from 1254 as "sand". It concerns the transmission in a copy book from the period around 1500. In the 13th century, Allerheiligen Monastery acquired large amounts of real estate here, including from the Strasbourg Cathedral Chapter and the Schauenburgers .

In the late Middle Ages, the village consisted of several parts: old sand, allod of the Lords of Lichtenberg , and new sand in 1295 as a fiefdom from the Bishop of Strasbourg to the Lichtenberger. Around 1330 there was a first division of land between Johann II. Von Lichtenberg , from the older line of the house, and Ludwig III. from Lichtenberg . Sand fell into the part of the property that was managed by the older line in the future. In the rule of Lichtenberg , sand was assigned to the Willstätt office.

When Jakob von Lichtenberg, the last male member of the house, died in 1480 , the inheritance passed to his two nieces, Anna von Lichtenberg (* 1442; † 1474) and Elisabeth von Lichtenberg. Anna had married Count Philip I the Elder of Hanau-Babenhausen (* 1417, † 1480) in 1458, who had received a small secondary education from the holdings of the County of Hanau in order to be able to get married. The county of Hanau-Lichtenberg came into being through the marriage . Elisabeth married Simon IV. Wecker von Zweibrücken-Bitsch . The Lichtenberg legacy was shared between them. The Willstätt office and thus Sand became a condominium between the two heirs.

Modern times

Under the government of Count Philip III. From Hanau-Lichtenberg there was a real division of the common condominiums: The Willstätt office came entirely to the County of Hanau-Lichtenberg. In return, the Brumath office came entirely to Zweibrücken-Bitsch.

In the 17th century, the court sand included old and new sand as well as the now desolate village of Schweighausen .

After the death of the last Hanau count, Johann Reinhard III. In 1736, the inheritance - and with it the office of Willstätt - fell to the son of his only daughter, Charlotte von Hanau-Lichtenberg , Landgrave Ludwig (IX) of Hesse-Darmstadt . With the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss , the office of Willstätt with the village of Sand was assigned to the newly formed Electorate of Baden . There it belonged to the cork office . In 1939 it came to the Kehl district , 1973 to the Ortenau district. On December 1, 1971, Sand was incorporated into Willstätt as part of the regional reform in Baden-Württemberg .

religion

Sand has had its own parish since 1311 , which was spun off from the von Kork parish . The local church was the Apostle Bartholomew ordained . The church patronage was like in Cork, in the abbess of the Monastery Eschau . In 1383 a St. Peter's chapel is mentioned in the cemetery.

Count Philip IV of Hanau-Lichtenberg (1514–1590), after taking office in 1538, consistently carried out the Reformation in his county, which now became Lutheran .

The oldest building structure of the choir tower church dates from the 15th and 16th centuries. The sacristy is probably the early Gothic chapel. After the destruction in the 17th century, the church was renovated in 1766. Today Griesheim ( Offenburg ) also belongs to the municipality .

The believers of the Roman Catholic denomination are parish in Griesheim .
