Origin of the place name

The name Schornsheim, 782 Scoronishaim , 815 Scornesheim , approx. 836 Scoranesheim , approx. 1230 Schornesheym , approx. 1520 Schornsheim is formed with the basic word -heim like most of the Rheinhessen place names. Its defining word, however, is a specialty. It is not a traditional Germanic personal name or a word for a natural spatial condition, but a status designation and only in a figurative sense a personal name. Scoran ("the shorn", coming from the tonsure ) is a word for priest or monk and was given as a name to boys who were intended for the clergy . The tonsure had long been considered a sign of clergy. A clergyman from that time probably gave Schornsheim his name. It can be assumed that one or more Franconian settlements already existed in the area of ​​the later district of Schornsheim. The name is traced back to the founding of a clergyman who is said to have founded the Servite monastery in Schornsheim next to a church .

In Charlemagne's deed of July 28, 782, the king names the church and the treasury of Schornsheim his property. At that time, the Treasury was the entirety of the royal property or a sub-unit thereof. We do not know how the ruler acquired it. In any case, he is the successor to the Scoran who founded the church.

The holy Lioba

Fountain monument for St. Lioba

Charlemagne gave the church with its equipment (with land) and the Schornsheim property as a fief to Saint Lioba . She chose Schornsheim as her retirement home and died there on September 28, 782. She is still venerated in Schornsheim today. So a fountain was built on the village square, in the center of which it stands.

History of the Schornsheim inheritance

The landscape between the Rhine , Nahe and Donnersberg , today's Rheinhessen , did not form a state unit before the upheavals at the end of the 18th century and the territorial reorganization at the beginning of the 19th century . Electoral Palatinate and Electoral Mainz , Wild and Rhine Grafic, Nassau and knighthood rights overlapped in this area.

Even if the Electoral Palatinate was able to present itself as the most important power in this area, it had just as little as Kurmainz succeeded in creating a closed domain. Very often the local lord moved from one place to another and not a few lords had property rights at the same time. The four Ganerbschaften Bechtolsheim , Mommenheim , Niedersaulheim and Schornsheim, incorporated into the knightly canton of Upper Rhine , formed the backbone of the imperial knighthood property in the buffer zone between the two rival territories Kurpfalz and Kurmainz with regard to their geographical location .

Schornsheim and the tailors

Schornsheim is a village that is comparable to many other villages in terms of its prosperity and the employment of its residents. That was not always so.

A hundred years ago Schornsheim was known as a tailor's village. There were over 130 tailors, entire families lived from home tailoring, they sewed for factories in Mainz , Worms and Darmstadt .

Each tailor had familiarized himself with his specialty. There were tailors who only made trousers. Others only made jackets. The finished garments were then delivered to the factory once a week. The tailors mostly lived in small, one-story mud houses with two, three, and sometimes only one window facing the street, because a window tax was levied at the time . The tailors' former living room was their workshop, and it contained several sewing machines and a large tailor's table.

Father, mother, daughters and sons worked late into the night so that they could support themselves through their work, because as tailors they made very little money. A great many skirts, trousers and vests had to move out of the workshop before the Schornsheim homeworker could enjoy his free ownership of the house and property.

Many tailors also had a piece of field in which they planted potatoes and grain. At home they had a pig in the stable, which was then slaughtered when it was large, or a goat for their milk, the so-called tailor's cow. But since the factories rationalized and could work cheaper, there was less and less work for the tailors. So they were forced to look for new jobs.

Many looked for work in the industrial plants in Mainz or in the Opel works in Rüsselsheim, where they earned a lot more and thus acquired some luxury. Today there are no more active tailors in the whole village, so the profession has died out.

But if you walk through the streets, especially on Karl-Marx-Straße, you can still find a few typical tailor's houses.

Poor benefit

We also hear in 1715 that the calculator Lorenz Tautphäus collected cloth money. Certain fields in the district were burdened with this so-called cloth money. With this money, as the word suggests, the poor people were bought clothes.

Jews in Schornsheim

Between 1713 and 1738 nine Jewish families lived in the village. Each family had to pay 3 fl Jewish protection money. Jewish protection money was understood as a special tax imposed on Jews . After paying this money, they were allowed to live in the village and go about their business without hindrance. Some Jews were traders , others butchers .

The night watchman

In earlier years the profession of night watchman was an important one. Their service was defined as follows in 1712:

“You have to blow

1. against Mr. Schultheissen's house,
2. at the Schmitt Brück,
3. at Nikolaus Kneip's house,
4. on Jacob's floorboards house,
5. at the rectory,
6. at the Pfaffenwälder fountain.

Here the night watchmen are supposed to announce the hour at every post where they blow off, and how much the clock has struck. "

Day watchman

One such was discontinued in 1725. In addition it says: “The entire community considered it advisable that a day watchman, who should walk around all day in orth with a carrying spear and come in at strange beggars, should immediately point out every now and then also happened in the surrounding places. The day watchman should receive bread from everyone in common and a pair of shoes from the community as a reward. "

Swineherd

In 1713 Nikolaus Lademann was accepted as swineherd. As a reward he gets "7 malter grain and from everyone who drives pigs a loaf of bread, and is supposed to drive the pigs when the weather is good." In 1722 the new swineherd gets 1/4 bread from every pig "driven like this" . He has to look after the pigs as long as they are "driven" to him.

In 1722 six men were accepted as fire walkers. One of them was their captain. If a fire broke out somewhere, they had to run from here to the fire for up to three hours to help there. But they did not have to leave a fire until they received a certificate of their efforts. Everyone had to take their leather bucket with them. When they came back, the ward should give them two measures of wine and one Albus wake each.

In 1731 it says: “They should follow the fire as far as the Rhine or four hours away and then bring back a certificate, then they should have a quarter of wine from the community and a quarter ago. Weck and Volpert Sandmann are supposed to be fire chief. "

19th century

Catholic Church of St. Wigbert

1840 The evangelical pastor Pfeiffer declares that his congregation is the church separation from the cath. Community and the building of a Protestant church "longest and longingly" wanted. The killing of mice, hamsters and wasps is paid for again.

1848 Ludwig H., born and living in Schornsheim, registered himself as a local citizen and paid the fire bucket money. The council objects to his intended marriage, because the named has no property, neither engages in a trade nor is "zealous" in agriculture, and nothing is known about the woman's financial circumstances. "One can assume that the same woman and her two illegitimate children will not be able to support the same person, much less if this family were to multiply ."

1850 No stones from the Flonheim quarries were used to build the evangelical church , because they have to be paid for on the road. One wants to get the stones from the Oppenheimer quarries, because the stones from there are exempt from this money.

1856 The chickens and geese are again looked after by Ludwig Höhler and his sister for a wage of 30fl. In addition, as usual, he receives 1 pound of bread from the owner of each goose. The vineyard shooters have to go every day now. The wage is 24 xr per day for each.

1857 Philipp Georgi wants to go to his son in Zurich because he has better food and care there than in Schornsheim. The community is ready to give him money for clothes and for the ride. However, as security, it requires that the travel money is only paid out at the train station from which the journey is to begin. His son is a Spengler in Zurich. The council decides that the meadows will be opened on June 23rd. The grass should be mowed and cleared immediately. The council objects to the marriage of the local resident Mathias Z. to Maria Chatharina J. from Wörrstadt. »Z. has a bad reputation and has led an immoral change with a person from the Duchy of Nassau and produced children with the same. He is a blasphemer and devoted to drinking. His fiancée also has a frivolous character and has already fathered two illegitimate children with another person. "

1858 A present is to be given to the Grand Duke for his silver wedding anniversary. A council member agrees. All other council members refuse any gift. They explain that the community has been so taken with the construction of the highway, the procurement of two fire engines and other expenses that it has to be concerned about the smallest savings. The rejection should not mean aversion. In November there will be another discussion about the gift to the Grand Duke. "It would be unworthy," they say, "if the community of Schornsheim wanted to exclude itself from the sublime festival ." You want to give 25 fl, the gift should be raised by a collection.

1859 The council rejects an early marriage of Carl. L. Bißmann, e.g. Currently residing in Neuchatel, from. »Even if the petitioner (petitioner) is currently earning a good income, but the marriage should die before the age of 25, the wife who was born abroad and any children of the community of Schornsheim could be a burden. He should wait until he is the legal age. "

1860 stones to mend the paths are to be bought in a quantity of 9 fathoms. The stones are to be knocked by field criminal debtors. Your wages should be deducted from the debt. "The convicts recognized as insolvent have so far tried to evade this work by seeking deadlines and other excuses."

JLH asks for support from the community treasury. The council says: “Rubricat is a strong man of 37 years, who got used to begging from his youth. He calls himself a day laborer, but doesn't want to work for anyone and is just busy collecting horse droppings on the streets, where he can be idle. He could have work all year round by fieldwork and in winter by fruit threshing. This year he was offered goose herding, for which he could have earned 40 fl from May to November and a pound of bread for each goose, which he did not accept. His wife, 36 years old, strong and healthy, is equally work-shy, even during the harvest these ore-lazy people do not accept fruit pruning. The whole community is upset about this and gives nothing more. The police officer has the task of disrupting the begging. If the married couple were allowed to continue, they would have been able to live continuously without food. Such people are not worthy of support. "

A post office is to be built in Undenheim. Schornsheim, however, considers staying with Wörrstadt to be more advantageous because of the local court of justice and the local tax commissioner. The community terminates the Ph. M.'s job as a goose-herd, “because he does not deal with goose herding, his wife only rarely. The geese are only rarely driven out of the village into the field and left to their school-age children, who let the geese run around the area at will, also drove the geese back into the village too early and left some geese in the field. In order to prevent further damage to the seeded fields, he is released as a goose-herd. "

1861 According to the contract between the grand ducal government and the Thurn and Taxis postal administration, the council declares: "The community wants to forego running an errand six times and only pay the delivery fee for the government paper." The community does not need to buy a mailbox. Since two fruit dealers are already based in Schornsheim, the council does not consider another one to be necessary.

1862 Since the sparrows have multiplied very much and cause great damage in the field, every citizen has to deliver two to six sparrows according to his personal tax. Since the Lapinsplage (rabbit plague) is rampant in the district, a man from Bechtheim who owns a ferret is supposed to help. The proceeds for the Lapins will go to the community treasury.

1863 Those who kill or show Lapins in the district of Schornsheim are to receive 6 xr each from the municipal treasury. The council also decides that the corn hamsters that have become out of hand must also be destroyed. For every hamster killed and delivered you want to pay 3 xr.

Note: The hamsters were still caught in 1950–1960 and the price was 1.80 DM per piece.

1870 The well in the Pfaffenwald does not provide the residents there with sufficient water for their households and their cattle. There is currently a great need for water in Schornsheim. In August, the council found that a new well in front of the Heyertor did not need to be built because it had rained for a long time.

On July 30, 1870, Jakob Tautphäus delivered a horse and a cart for a war drive to France. Philipp Ebling provided a second horse. Both also provided a second man.

On September 28th, one man returned with his cart and a strange horse. According to the returnee, his companion and his horse are said to have perished in France.

On October 8, the local council complained about the police officer. He was devoted to drinking and had been negligent in his service for years. Also, some nocturnal disturbances would not have happened if he had made the rounds in town. Furthermore, he would have neglected to order other citizens every evening in addition to the security guards on duty, since the nocturnal field crime would get out of hand. The police officer is to be dismissed, especially since he would have thrown his saber and the service book into the living room of the mayor. Five people apply for the position of the dismissed police officer. His salary is 40  florins. The police officer still has to work as a court usher and as a field guard for the immediate vicinity of the place. The community has to raise a capital of 1,500 florins in order to be able to compensate the Schornsheimers who traveled to France.

The outbreak of typhus was reported on October 18 .

1871 The local council believes that "the unsuccessful investigation of well water with regard to the disease could have been saved because nothing could have been found ."

1880 The police officer is dismissed because on some days he is not to be seen in the village, so that »when begging gets out of hand the vagabonds can beg without being disturbed. He also neglected his other functions very much « .

1881 A new Wasenmeister is hired. He receives 1.50 to 2.00 marks for removing and burying a head of cattle. For a foal, calf or pig 50 pfennigs. The cattle must be delivered. The warden has to fetch the other cattle.

1897 Daily wages (not hourly wages) are set in Schornsheim. They amount to:

for adult workers 1 mark 80 pfennigs

for adult workers 1 mark 20 pfennigs

for young workers 1 mark 20 pfennigs

for young workers 80 pfennigs

The community wants to forbid the geese to roam freely on Sundays and public holidays.
