history

First mention and place name

The oldest known written mention of Sichenhausen took place on April 7, 1335 under the name Sychenhusen , whereby the document refers to the old Sichenhausen, which was northeast of today's town.

In the district of today Sichenhausen then still the villages Eigelshain and Enkharts who were in the Middle Ages deserted villages were. Alt-Sichenhausen was described as desolate in 1555. The new location was first recorded on August 11, 1572.

The place name Sichenhausen has so far been interpreted as "to the house houses of a Sigo, a Sicho." The ending "hausen" actually means "zi den husen" in Middle High German , which means to the houses. Alt-Sichenhausen existed earlier than the surrounding places with the endings "hain" and "rod". The reason for this early settlement at this altitude of the rough, inhospitable Vogelsberg can only be explained with the importance of its location.

An old trunk road once led through the district and crossed the heights of the Vogelsberg. This "right Nidderstrasse" is said to have been the route taken by Bonifatius' funeral procession from Mainz to Fulda in the summer of 754 .

History of the settlement of Sichenhausen

Similar to another Schotten district, namely Michelbach , Sichenhausen has a special settlement history. Both places emerged from the desert in the 15th and 16th centuries, Sichenhausen and the desert areas Eigelshain and Enkharts were thoroughly investigated in the 19th century.

The village "Eygelshain" was first mentioned in 1289. Remains of medieval ironworks have been found in the settlement area. "Eigilshain" is mentioned again in 1436. Like Alt-Sichenhausen, the place has been desolate since 1555.

The district of today's Sichenhausen includes the districts of Alt-Sichenhausen and Enkharts and meets the former borders of Eigelshain to the north. The big tithe of the “old fields” went to the Herchenhain church . Sichenhausen and Hartmannshain belonged to this church as branches.

On August 11, 1335, Hermann von Lißberg promised Conrad III. von Trimburg , Schotten and the three parts of Sichenhausen, which Conrad had pledged for him for 500 pounds hellers , to be returned after ten years. The return can also be made to Gottfried von Eppenstein the Younger. In 1389 Friedrich von Lißberg bought Eberhard I. von Eppenstein for 503 guilders a . a. the village "Siechenhausen" and the desert "Engelshein."

In 1572, Count Ludwig zu Stolberg -Königstein renounced all claims to the villages "Eigelshain", "Enkers" and Sichenhausen against Landgrave of Hesse .

Eckards, like Burkhards , Busenborn , Eichelsachsen , Eschenrod , Hartmannshain, Herchenhain, Kaulschlag, Sichenhausen and Wingershausen, belonged to the Burkhards court. On April 21, 1303 Werner von Lißberg gave the knight Johann von Linden goods "zu deme Eckehardis" as property that Johann had previously as a fiefdom from Werner. For this, Johann gave a Mansus to Unter-Widdersheim .

In 1555 tax lists for "Enckarz" are given the same names and taxes as for Sichenhausen in 1578. That means that both places were identical. In 1555 Enckarz / Sichenhausen consisted of 16 houses in which 17 families lived. There was also a shepherd's house, two grinding mills and a grinding mill.

Another story

Sichenhausen has been part of Herchenhain church since the Middle Ages.

The village was badly damaged during the Thirty Years War . In 1635, 85 residents died of the plague .

A school was built in the 18th century. It still stands in the center of the village, but has not been used as a school since 1905 because a new building was built. This was rebuilt in 1972 and now serves as a village community center.

In Sichenhausen and Scots who committed robbers Nicolaus Vierheller from Kaulstoß and Jacob Heinrich Vielmetter , commonly known as Jacob Heinrich, circa 1810 two thefts. The robber Vielmetter was seen as the real head of the Wetterau gang . With the swineherd Heinrich Fischer from Sichenhausen, Vielmetter committed a cloth theft in Schotten on the night of March 9th to 10th, 1799.

The statistical-topographical-historical description of the Grand Duchy of Hesse reports on Sichenhausen in 1830:

"Sichenhausen (L. Bez. Schotten) evangel. Branch village; is located in Vogelsberg an der Nidder, 2 St. from Schotten, has 76 houses and 445 inhabitants, all of whom are Protestant. - Von Sichenhausen pledged 3 parts, in 1335, Kuno von Trimberg, together with the court of Schotten, for 500 pounds of Heller, to Hermann von Lißberg, and in 1389 the place, with other goods, was resold by Eberhard von Eppenstein to Friedrich von Lißberg. "

In 1840 the village had 517 inhabitants. Due to bad harvests, emigration to America or the departure of young people due to the bad economic situation, the population decreased very quickly. Only 24 years later, only 368 people lived in Sichenhausen. In 1909 the population was 281. This value has remained roughly until today.

Until the Second World War , the population was very poor. Because of the climate, agriculture and livestock were not profitable. "The rough areas of Herchenhain, Hartmannshain, Sichenhausen ..." There were no fruit trees in 1830 and no winter fruit either. However, the population knew how to help itself by making brooms and entrenchment baskets , which were driven away by peddlers .

A total of 34 people from Sichenhausen perished in the two wars of the 20th century.

There was once a football club in the village. The game was stopped again and the club joined the Burkhards syndicate. The former sports field is now used as a commercial area for a forest enterprise.

At the end of May 2016, three mudslides poured over the north-western part of the village due to heavy rainfall. A total of seven households were affected by the water masses, including the community center. One house was uninhabitable until further notice. In the weeks and months that followed, the citizens were busy with the clean-up and renovation work. The city of Schotten set up a donation account for the households concerned and some structural measures were taken.

Territorial reform

Sichenhausen was an independent municipality until December 31, 1971 and belonged to the Büdingen district . As part of the regional reform in Hesse , it was incorporated into the town of Gedern in the Wetteraukreis on December 31, 1971, together with the towns of Kaulstoss and Burkhards . The town of Gedern was originally supposed to belong to the new Vogelsbergkreis. Gedern, however, decided on the Wetterau district. When it became clear that this wanted to remain in the Wetteraukreis, the Vogelsbergorte Burkhards, Kaulstoss and Sichenhausen were on August 1, 1972 by state law in the town of Schotten, which changed to the Vogelsbergkreis.

Territorial history and administration

The following list gives an overview of the territories in which Sichenhausen was located and the administrative units to which it was subordinate:

Courts since 1803

In the Landgraviate of Hesse-Darmstadt , the judicial system was reorganized in an executive order of December 9, 1803. The “Hofgericht Gießen” was set up as a court of second instance for the province of Upper Hesse . The jurisdiction of the first instance was carried out by the offices or landlords and thus the Lißberg office was responsible for Sichenhausen. The court court was the second instance court for normal civil disputes, and the first instance for civil family law cases and criminal cases. The second instance for the patrimonial courts were the civil law firms. The superior court of appeal in Darmstadt was superordinate .

With the establishment of the Grand Duchy of Hesse in 1806, this function was retained, while the tasks of the first instance 1821–1822 were transferred to the newly created regional and city courts as part of the separation of jurisdiction and administration. Sichenhausen a lot in the judicial district of the " Landgericht Schotten ".

On the occasion of the introduction of the Courts Constitution Act with effect from October 1, 1879, as a result of which the previous grand-ducal Hessian regional courts were replaced by local courts at the same location, while the newly created regional courts now functioned as higher courts, the name was changed to "Amtsgericht Schotten" and the district was allocated of the regional court of Giessen .

With effect from July 1, 1968, the local court of Schotten was dissolved and Sichenhausen came to the judicial district of the local court of Nidda . On January 1, 2012, the district court of Nidda was also dissolved in accordance with the resolution of the Hessian state parliament and Sichenhausen was assigned to the district court of Büdingen . The superordinate instances are now, the regional court Gießen , the higher regional court Frankfurt am Main and the federal court as last instance.
