Schloßborn im Taunus is one of three districts of the Glashütten community in the Hochtaunus district in southern Hesse .

Geographical location

Schloßborn is located in the High Taunus in Taunus Nature Park , adjacent to the west bordering Rhine-Taunus Nature Park . About 2 km southwest of the core town of Glashütten , it is located between Königstein in the southeast, Ruppertshain in the southeast, Ehlhalten in the southwest, Oberjosbach in the southwest, Lenzhahn in the west, Heftrich in the northwest and Kröftel in the north.

Schloßborn is traversed by the Weiherbach , but also extends into the valley of the Silberbach , which is adjacent to the south-east, in the context of later local locations . Both flow into the Dattenbach , which flows into the Main under the main name Schwarzbach . The relative abundance of water in the village is due to the location near the sources of Weiherbach and Silberbach .

Schloßborn is surrounded by medium heights: The Steinkopf ( 569.8  m ), the Eichkopf ( 563.3  m ) and the Atzelberg ( 506.7  m ) lie roughly in the southeast to the south. Between the village and the Dattenbach valley there is the Platte ( 404.6  m ) in the south-west as a branch of the Spitzeberg ( 449.9  m ) on the other side and the Butznickel ( 462.2  m ) in the west with its branch south-south-west of it Dattenberg , where the Rentmauer Dattenberg is located as a former fortification . The Glaskopf ( 686.8  m ) is located a little further in the northeast near Glashütten .

history

Remains of the old castle around 1905

Schloßborn is probably the first demonstrable settlement in the Idsteiner Senke, in the foreland to the Goldener Grund . In Roman times, the area of ​​today's Schloßborn was just behind the Limes on Roman territory. Later there was a settlement by Alemanni and Franks . Schloßborn was first mentioned in a document in the " Bardo deed " from 1043. In this document, Archbishop of Mainz, Bardo, confirms the boundaries of a large parish in Brunnon and the construction of a wooden church by Archbishop Willigis of Mainz at the time of Otto the Younger . At that time, Schloßborn was probably the most important settlement in the western Taunus. This large parish comprised up to 24 settlements.

tower
Tower and wall

Count Eberhard I von Eppstein built a hunting lodge in Born in 1369. The remains of a tower and the curtain wall are still preserved today.

In 1540 the Reformation was introduced in Born. In 1604, however, the place became Catholic again and then belonged to Kurmainz . In 1803 the electoral state was abolished as part of the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss . From 1806 Born belonged to the Duchy of Nassau . Here it belonged to the Eppstein office . Since January 1, 1810, Schloßborn was incorporated into the Königstein office. In 1816 the place name was changed from Born to Schloßborn (from Schloß and Born = fountain).

With the end of the Austro-Prussian War in 1866, Schloßborn became part of Prussia . There it belonged to the Obertaunus district . After the First World War was lost , Schloßborn was occupied by the French at the end of 1918 as part of the Allied occupation of the Rhineland and added to the Königstein district.

The youth hostel used to be on the road to Kröftel (at the old sports field) - a house that was sponsored by the Main-Taunus district; called the district youth home. Many young people from Germany and abroad, especially from France, came to Schloßborn many years after 1945 to spend their holidays, to relax or to take part in conferences. Many meetings of the Quickborn (see: Quickborn working group ) took place here. The head of the house was the social worker Sophie Schönig from Offenbach-Bürgel . In summers, the demand for beds was often so great that Schönig and her staff installed a tent camp by the house or under the chestnut trees on the same street. In the 1950s, the house also accommodated a few children from families in the Main-Taunus district. The building was later demolished in favor of building one-family houses.

Territorial reform

On August 1, 1972, Schloßborn was forcibly incorporated into the community of Glashütten by state law as part of the regional reform in Hesse , with sometimes violent protests from the population and the Schloßborn municipal council under the leadership of Mayor Josef Hofmann and the closed "no" of the opposition in the Hessian state parliament . A "Citizens' Initiative Schloßborn" was formed, which submitted a petition signed by numerous citizens against the law passed in the Hessian state parliament in Wiesbaden. In the opinion of the petitioners, u. a. An expert opinion by the head of the Hessian Main State Archives, Struck, was not taken into account, as he had expressly spoken out in favor of the name Schloßborn for a possible whole community. At the same time, Schloßborn was separated from the Main-Taunus district and incorporated into the Hochtaunus district.

coat of arms

The coat of arms of Schloßborn consists of a shield that consists of four fields. The fields at the top left and bottom right are white and the fields opposite are highlighted in red. The tower in the field at the top left indicates a former medieval hunting lodge and the city wall of Schloßborn. The fountain (Born) in the field on the top right symbolizes the wealth of water in Schloßborn. The symbols below indicate Schloßborn's history. At the bottom left is the Mainz wheel , since Schloßborn belonged to Kurmainz for a long time and at the bottom right the three red Eppstein rafters symbolize the time of the rule of the Lords of Eppstein.

swimming pool

outdoor pool

The heated outdoor pool is located in the center of the village. A special attraction is the wide wave slide on which several people can slide at the same time. In addition to the main pool with swimmer and non-swimmer areas, the swimming pool has a separate children's pool for toddlers. The climbing horses are striking. A life-size horse with a foal has stood in the middle of the lawn since 1970. The two concrete animals serve as climbing toys and complement the play equipment in the two playgrounds.

In 1934, the then mayor, Johann Friedrich Marx, leased a pond to offer residents and guests a place to swim. The construction of the swimming pool began in 1935 with a great deal of personal contribution from the population. The inauguration took place on June 27, 1937. In 1959 a wooden springboard was built.
