geography
Schneidhain is a street village west of Königstein am Liederbach .
history
Schneidhain is first mentioned in the eleventh century as part of the Limburg an der Haardt monastery . The oldest church in Schneidhain, the Johanniskirche, was first mentioned in 1215. Later, Schneidhain belonged to the rule of Königstein from 1418 to 1581 and was the seat of the court court, which was responsible for "damage and abuse in the village and field mark and violations of the neighborhood and good morals".
In the 16th century, Schneidhain first fell to the Counts of Stolberg, who introduced the Reformation. Then Schneidhain came to the Catholic Electors of Mainz and later to the Elector of the Palatinate, who was able to raise claims to the village from the acquisition of the Limburg Monastery.
In the Thirty Years War , Schneidhain was occupied by the Spanish and returned by the Swedes to the Stolberg Counts from 1631 to 1635. Then Schneidhain fell again to the Electoral Palatinate and in 1650 as part of an area swap to Kurmainz. In the 19th century, Schneidhain became part of the Duchy of Nassau , in 1866 of Prussia. With the dissolution of Prussia, Schneidhain became part of Hesse in 1945. In the course of the regional reform in Hesse , the community of Schneidhain / Taunus was incorporated into Königstein im Taunus on April 1, 1972 on a voluntary basis.
religion
Protestant church
Schneidhain originally belonged to the parish Sulzbach. A church in Schneidhain was first mentioned around 1200, and an independent parish was established in the 14th century.
As a result of the Reformation , the church conditions in Schneidhain changed several times. Initially becoming Lutheran, Schneidhain became Calvinist in 1582 and briefly Catholic again in 1626. With the " Bergstrasse Recess " in 1650, the church was reorganized. The church was now a Catholic-Calvinist simultaneous church . As a distribution of use, it was determined that the choir was used by the Catholics and the ship by the Reformed.
Most of the church was demolished and rebuilt in the 18th century. The new building was consecrated in 1741. the church is dedicated to St. John the Baptist, i.e. John the Baptist .
When the Catholic Church was rebuilt in 1949, its use as a simultaneous church ended. Since then it has been a purely Protestant church.
Catholic Church
Due to the expulsions from the German eastern areas, the number of Catholics in Schneidhain rose sharply. The previous simultaneous church had become too small and the Catholic community therefore decided to build the parish church of St. John the Baptist. The new church was consecrated on August 21, 1949 by the Limburg bishop Wilhelm Kempf .
From this old simultaneous church comes a Spanish field altar from the 18th century and a crucifix on this high altar, from around 1500. The movable arms are unusual (in the high Middle Ages, during the Kar days, the body of Christ was removed from the cross and placed in the grave placed).
