Sechshelden is a district of the city of Haiger in the Lahn-Dill district in central Hesse .

Geographical location

Sechshelden is 272 m above sea level, on the eastern edge of the Westerwald in the narrow valley of the Dill , which flows from the Hessian-Westphalian border to Wetzlar in the Lahn .

Dillenburg is three kilometers east of Sechshelden , in the south behind the Klangstein mountain lies the village of Donsbach, which belongs to Dillenburg, and in the north, also belonging to Dillenburg, Manderbach .

history

The first mention of Sechshelden is November 1, 1371, confirmed in the document book of the city of Wetzlar.

In 1916, the Sechshelden train station was opened, with which Sechshelden had a direct connection to the Dill route Cologne – Deutz, which was opened in 1862. It is still a stopping point for the Hellertalbahn Betzdorf – Dillenburg and the Dreiländerbahn Au (Sieg) –Siegen – Dillenburg. By changing trains in Dillenburg, Gießen or Siegen, you can easily reach the metropolitan areas of Frankfurt or Cologne and Ruhr.

Since the late 1960s, the village has been partially spanned by the Sechshelden viaduct as the longest bridge on the Sauerland line, the 45 federal motorway .

Village renewal

Sechshelden was accepted into the Hessian village renewal program in 2000 . With its help, seven-figure public investments are to be carried out in the nine-year program, with over half being contributed by the State of Hesse. The most important project here is the redesign of the village community center with a new village square in front of it, for which the Dill car park, the village community center forecourt and the car park on Kreuzgasse have been combined into one unit. Furthermore, a chronicle on the history of the place was published and a new village logo was developed. At the same time, however, private construction and renovation measures are also extensively funded.

Infrastructure

Protests against the construction of the new motorway viaduct

Sechshelden Viaduct

Since 1968 the Autobahn bridge " Talbrücke Sechshelden " of the federal freeway 45 has spanned the village and divides it into two parts. Since the bridge can no longer withstand the current traffic conditions, it has to be demolished in 2017. The citizens' initiative “MuT” (people under the valley bridge) was founded in 2010 against the new six-lane building at the same location . The citizens' initiative has already drawn up alternative plans and is in talks with Haigerer , Wiesbaden and Berlin politicians.

Personalities

economy

Until the beginning of 2014, the built-in appliance specialist Teka was the largest employer, and several small companies are also based there. After Tekas left in 2014, the 92,000 m² company premises were bought by the heating technology company Oranier.
