history

Territorial history

The "Hohe Straße" runs in the Schlierbacher district. As early as prehistoric and Roman times, it can therefore be assumed that the area was inhabited. The oldest surviving mention of Schlierbach comes from the year 770 and can be found in the Lorsch Codex of the Lorsch Monastery . This is one of the oldest mentions of a place in the region.

Schlierbach owned a castle belonging to the Lords of Hanau , mentioned several times between 1393 and 1506 in connection with man fiefs and wine tithes around the castle, which was probably just a permanent house . Its former location is today, however, presumably in the district of Langstadt , one kilometer east of Langstadt and one kilometer north of Schlierbach.

Schlierbach counted in the late Middle Ages to Kondominat Umstadt , a Kondominat between the Palatinate and the rule of Hanau , later county of Hanau and then the Hanau-Lichtenberg . From this it can be concluded that it initially belonged to the Fulda monastery . When Konrad IV von Hanau had to go into debt in 1373 for his election as prince abbot of the monastery, the consequence immediately after he took office was that he tried to refinance the debts he had incurred from the Fulda Imperial Monastery. As early as 1374 , he pledged monastery property in the area of Otzberg Castle and von Umstadt for 23,875 guilders to his nephew, Ulrich IV. Von Hanau . In 1390, Elector Ruprecht I of the Palatinate acquired half of the right to redeem the pledge against Hanau from the Fulda Abbey, as far as the Umstadt office was concerned. In 1521 Hanau left the resulting condominium and received, among other things, the entire village of Schlierbach. It incorporated Schlierbach into his office in Babenhausen .

The Counts of Wertheim , the Lords of Karben , the Gayling von Altheim , the von Düdelsheim, the von Wasen , the von Rodenstein and the parish of Babenhausen also owned property in the village .

After the death of the last Hanau count, Johann Reinhard III. , 1736, landgrave Friedrich I of Hessen-Kassel inherited the county of Hanau-Münzenberg on the basis of an inheritance contract from 1643 . Due to the intestinal succession , the County of Hanau-Lichtenberg fell to the son of Johann Reinhard III's only daughter, Landgrave Ludwig IX. from Hessen-Darmstadt . Disputed between the two heirs was the affiliation of the Babenhausen office and its villages to Hanau-Münzenberg or Hanau-Lichtenberg. There was almost a military conflict when the two Hessians tried to occupy the office of Babenhausen, including Schlierbach, which was occupied by Hesse-Darmstadt. The dispute could only be ended with a settlement in 1771 after a long-standing legal dispute before the highest imperial courts , the so-called participation recess . Schlierbach was finally awarded to Hessen-Darmstadt. Hessen-Darmstadt incorporated it into its newly formed Schaafheim office . This assignment remained in place when the Landgraviate became the Grand Duchy of Hesse .

The statistical-topographical-historical description of the Grand Duchy of Hesse reports on Schlierbach in 1829:

»Schlierbach (L. Bez. Dieburg) Lutheran Filialdorf; is 2 1 ⁄ 2   St. from Dieburg and 1 1 ⁄ 2   St. from Umstadt, and has 67 houses and 380 inhabitants, who are Lutheran except for 1 Reform., 1 Catholic and 3 Jews. There are 3 mills, and a burial mound near by on the way from Höchst to Babenhausen, the Roman or German origin of which is uncertain. - The place appears as early as 770; he had his own chapel, which together with Kirchsatz belonged to the counts of Wertheim, who were very wealthy here in 1218. The Kirchsatz was donated to the Johanniter Convent in Moßbach in 1218 and later to Hanau. Schlierbach was in 1521 by Count Philipp III. from Hanau incorporated into his rule Babenhausen. After the exit of the Hanau-Lichtenberg line in 1736, the place came with others through the comparisons of 1762 and 1771 to Hessen-Darmstadt. Schlierbach formerly had its own chapel; there used to be a castle near the village. "

On December 31, 1971, the previously independent municipality Schlierbach joined the municipality of Schaafheim on a voluntary basis as part of the regional reform in Hesse . For Schlierbach as well as for the other incorporated places, local districts with local advisory council and local councilor were formed according to the Hessian municipal code.

Church history

Saafheim-Schlierbach Church 2018

The mother church of the chapel was the church in Schaafsheim. The central church authority was the Archdeaconate of St. Peter and Alexander in Aschaffenburg , Landkapitel Montat .

Proposal for coat of arms and seal image

Blazon : "In silver with a red border, a black lion holding a red cross in its paws."

A court seal from the 16th century shows an undoubtedly female saint with long flowing hair as a shield holder above the Hanau-Lichtenberger shield, a cross in her right hand, the letter S to the left of her. The inscription is spoiled, but Schlierbach can still be deciphered with certainty. A second from the 17th century has been cut from this seal stamp with the same image and the same spoiled inscription. Since the Hanau-Lichtenberger shield cannot be used as the Schlierbach local coat of arms, and the saint cannot be determined with certainty (at least not identical to the title saint of the Schlierbach chapel, Sankt Veit), it is suggested that the lions from the Hanau-Lichtenberger shield with the To unite the cross attribute of the saints in the above manner into a local coat of arms.
