Seeheim is located in the Bergstrasse-Odenwald Nature Park on the Bergstrasse in the Odenwald . The location has almost grown together structurally with the neighboring Jugenheim to the southwest . The boundary between the two localities roughly follows the course of the Stettbach . The school village Bergstrasse is surrounded on two sides by forest on the outskirts in the southwest of the Seeheim district.

history

Seeheim was first mentioned in a document in 874 when it was donated to Lorsch Abbey. The local ending -heim indicates an early foundation by the Franks . In the historical documents Seeheim is mentioned under the following place names (the year it was mentioned in brackets): Seheim (874–1229), Seheym (1420), Sehem (1440) and Seeheimb (1553). The documents show that:

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

»Seeheim (L. Bez. Bensheim) Lutheran parish village; is 2 1 ⁄ 2 St. from Bensheim, and has 144 houses and 941 inhabitants, who are Lutheran except for 5 Cath., 1 Reform and 48 Jews. Nearby are the ruins of Tannenberg Castle, and the extremely beautiful grounds on the Seeheimer Berge are worth seeing, with the rural buildings and the monuments of Wenk and Höpfner. These facilities owe their creation and training to the deceased local bailiff, Reg. Rath Pistor. An extremely interesting view opens up from the high house. 2 markets are held annually. - Ludwig the German gave his property at Seeheim, 874, to the Lorsch monastery. The place later became a part of the Tannenberg Castle and came to the Erbach taverns. In the Bavarian feud in 1504, Landgrave Wilhelm II took away the village, but it was returned in 1510 with reservation of the cent jurisdiction and on condition that Erbach should in future carry the place from Hesse as a fief. The many disputes brought about a new comparison in 1527, according to which Landgrave Philipp the Schenk Eberhard also the Hess. Share in Tannenberg Castle or the associated village of Seeheim. The village chapel was a branch of Bickenbach and was only elevated to a mother church after the Reformation. In the 30 Years War the church, cellar and rectory were cremated; and afterwards the whole place plundered, although shortly before it had been Tilly's headquarters. The entire office of Seeheim and Tannenberg with the villages of Bickenbach, Jugenheim, Seeheim, Malchen, Balkhausen, Staffel, Wurzelbach and Beedenkirchen with several other rights, came from Erbach in 1714 for 221,750 florins to Hesse, and Seeheim became the seat of an official. "

In the first half of the 20th century, from 1897 to 1955, a steam locomotive-operated branch line ran between Bickenbach, Alsbach, Jugenheim and Seeheim. Planning for the connection had already started in 1869, but there was a lot of resistance to the construction. They feared noise, disruption to field work and the emigration of holiday guests. At that time the Bergstrasse was a popular recreational area for guests from all over Europe, especially from the royal houses. The branch line connected the northern Bergstrasse with the important Main-Neckar Railway at Bickenbach station . In addition to the holiday guests, the local population also used the “Ziggelsche” branch line. Since some trains went as far as Darmstadt and were used by travelers to visit the Darmstadt State Theater, they were also given the nickname “ Theater Train ”.

From 1895 to 1960 Seeheim had its own train station connected to the railway network with the branch line Bickenbach – Seeheim . Passenger traffic was stopped here in 1955. Until 1930 the terminus of the line, Seeheim , was even a locomotive station.
