history

overview

The place is first mentioned under the name Sidilines Brunnon 1012. The place initially belonged to the area of the Lorsch Monastery and then became part of the Electoral Palatinate . At times the Erbach taverns had it as a fiefdom , but in 1509 it was exchanged for the village of Hetzbach near Beerfelden and then until 1803 belonged to the Electoral Palatinate Oberamt Lindenfels .

At the end of the Thirty Years War (1648) the place was almost deserted. After the devastating war, the Electoral Palatinate pursued a policy of resettlement in its area characterized by religious tolerance. But the wars that broke out in the troubled times that followed, such as the War of the Palatinate Succession (1688–1697) and the War of Spanish Succession (1701–1714) destroyed many of the efforts and tens of thousands of Palatine emigrated and the like. a. to North America and Prussia.

From a religious point of view, too, the time after the Thirty Years' War was marked by great unrest. In 1685 the Reformed Palatinate-Simmern line died out and the Catholic cousins ​​of the Palatinate-Neuburg line took over the government in the Electoral Palatinate with Elector Philipp Wilhelm . This ordered the equality of the Catholic faith in the predominantly Protestant Palatinate. Even during the War of the Palatinate Succession, France tried to advance the Counter-Reformation in the conquered areas and founded a number of Catholic parishes. The war ended in 1697 with the Peace of Rijswijk , which strengthened the position of the then reigning Catholic Elector Johann Wilhelm . This led to the decree of the Simultaneum on October 26, 1698 . According to this, the Catholics were entitled to use all reformed institutions such as churches, schools and cemeteries, while the reverse was not allowed. Furthermore, the reformed church administration, which had been independent until then, was subordinated to the sovereign. Only at the instigation of Prussia in 1705 came the so-called Palatinate church division in which the simultanum was reversed and the churches in the country, including rectories and schools, were divided between the Reformed and the Catholics in a ratio of five to two. There were special regulations for the three capitals Heidelberg , Mannheim and Frankenthal as well as the regional authorities Alzey , Kaiserslautern , Oppenheim , Bacharach and Weinheim . In cities with two churches, one should go to Protestants and the other to Catholics; in the others, where there was only one church, the choir was separated from the nave by a wall, and the one to the Catholics and the other to the Protestants. The Lutherans were only allowed those churches that they owned in 1624 or had built afterwards.

Evangelical mountain church

In 1803 Siedelsbrunn became Hessian and in 1821 came to the district of Lindenfels . Siedelsbrunn had a mayor's office that was also responsible for Kreidach .

In 1824 a large fire raged in the village, in which more than half of the houses burned down. In 1830 about 270 people lived in the village and the first village school was built. A state road leading from the Neckar in Neckarsteinach via Abtsteinach and Siedelsbrunn to the Kreidacher Höhe was built in 1890.

Through several administrative reforms in Hesse, the place finally came to today's Bergstrasse district in 1938 .

Construction of the Protestant mountain church began in 1961 and was inaugurated in 1963. In 1970 the village school was closed. Since then, the children have been attending primary school in Unter-Schönmattenwag and a secondary school in Wald-Michelbach.

In the run-up to the regional reform in Hesse , the community of Siedelsbrunn joined the community of Wald-Michelbach on December 31, 1971. A local district with a local advisory board and mayor was set up for Siedelsbrunn .

Territorial history and administration

Siedelsbrunn was created in the area of ​​the former Mark Heppenheim, which designated an administrative district of the Franconian Empire . On January 20, 773, Charlemagne donated the city of Heppenheim and its district, the extensive Mark Heppenheim , to the imperial monastery of Lorsch . From here the reclamation and settlement of the area was carried out. The place is first mentioned under the name Sidilines Brunnon 1012, in the texts of the Monumenta Germaniae Historica . Accordingly, a border dispute arose in 1012 between the Bishop of Worms and the abbot of Lorsch Monastery. This led to the written definition of the exact limit of the Mark Heppenheim in the disputed area. According to this document, the border ran as follows: from Sidilines Brunnon to Spumosum Stagnum ( Schönmattenwag ) and so to Ulvenam (Ulfenbach). The heyday of the Lorsch Monastery, in whose area Siedelsbrunn was located, was followed by its decline in the 11th and 12th centuries. In 1232 Lorsch was subordinated to the Archdiocese of Mainz and in 1461 Kurmainz pledged his possessions on Bergstrasse, and with that the possessions of Lorsch Monastery went to the Electoral Palatinate , which introduced the Reformation in 1556 and abolished the monastery in 1564.

After long disputes could Palatinate and the Archdiocese of Mainz early 14th century about the legacy of the Lorsch Abbey few and the Palatine parts were the Amtsvogtei managed Lindenfels. Siedelsbrunn was then a Palatinate fiefdom to the Erbach taverns . (See also "CFML Marchand" in the section on historical descriptions). This fiefdom was exchanged for the village of Hetzbach near Beerfelden in 1509, whereby Siedelsbrunn came under the administration of the Lindenfels district of the Electoral Palatinate. Until 1737 the Lindenfels Office was under the Heidelberg Oberamt , after which Lindenfels became an Oberamt . Siedelsbrunn was part of the Zent-Waldmichelbach within the Lindenfels office . While the upper office was part of the "Palatinate County of the Rhine" (in the "Electorate of Palatinate Bavaria" from 1777).

In the early days of the Reformation , the Palatinate rulers openly sympathized with the Lutheran faith, but it was not until Ottheinrich (Elector from 1556 to 1559) that the official transition to Lutheran teaching took place. After that, his successors and inevitably the population changed several times between the Lutheran , Reformed and Calvinist religions. After the Reformation, the existing church in Wald-Michelbach was used by the Reformed , while the Catholics built their own church dedicated to St. Lawrence in 1739. In 1780 the Lutherans set up a church in their schoolhouse. The places of the cent became branches of the parishes in Wald-Michelbach.,

In 1784 30 families with 158 souls in 16 dwellings lived in the place. The demarcation consisted of 450 acres of fields, 142 acres of meadows, seven acres of gardens, 230 acres of pasture and 400 acres of forest, of which 202 acres belonged to the community while the rest belong to the hubs . In addition, there were 800 acres of forest that was shared by the Zent Wald-Michelbach . There was an electoral forester who was in charge of both these and all of the other forests in the Cent Wald-Michelbach and the Cent Hammelbach . On the big tithe , the Electoral Palatinate Court Chamber received two, and the Electoral Mainz Chamber received a third because of the Lorsch Monastery.

The late 18th and early 19th centuries brought far-reaching changes to Europe. As a result of the Napoleonic Wars , the Holy Roman Empire (German Nation) was reorganized by the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss of 1803 and ceased to exist with the laying down of the imperial crown on August 6, 1806. As a result of this reorganization and dissolution of the Electoral Palatinate, the Oberamt Lindenfels and with it Siedelsbrunn became part of the Landgraviate of Hessen-Darmstadt , which was incorporated into the Grand Duchy of Hessen , which was also formed under pressure from Napoleon . When the Oberamt Lindenfels came to Hesse in 1803, it was initially continued as the Hessian district bailiwick. From 1812 Wald-Michelbach received its own district bailiwick, in whose area Siedelsbrunn was also located. After Napoleon's final defeat, the Congress of Vienna in 1814/15 also regulated the territorial situation for Hesse, and in 1816 provinces were established in the Grand Duchy. The area previously known as the “Principality of Starkenburg”, which consisted of the old Hessian territories south of the Main and the territories on the right bank of the Rhine that were added from 1803, was renamed “Province of Starkenburg” .

In 1821, as part of a comprehensive administrative reform, the district bailiffs in the provinces of Starkenburg and Upper Hesse of the Grand Duchy were dissolved and district councils were introduced, with Siedelsbrunn becoming part of the Lindenfels district . As part of this reform, regional courts were also created, which were now independent of the administration. The district court districts corresponded in scope to the district council districts and the district court of Fürth was responsible as the court of first instance for the district of Lindenfels . This reform also arranged the administrative administration at the municipal level. In addition to Wald-Michelbach , the mayor's office in Siedelsbrunn was also responsible for Kreidach. According to the municipal ordinance of June 30, 1821, there were no longer appointments of mayors , but an elected local council, which was composed of a mayor, aldermen and council.

In 1832 the administrative units were further enlarged and circles were created. After the reorganization announced on August 20, 1832, there should only be the districts of Bensheim and Lindenfels in the future in Süd-Starkenburg; the district of Heppenheim was to fall into the Bensheim district. Even before the ordinance came into force on October 15, 1832, it was revised to the effect that instead of the Lindenfels district, the Heppenheim district was formed as the second district, to which Siedelsbrunn now belonged, alongside the Bensheim district. In 1842 the tax system in the Grand Duchy was reformed and the tithe and the basic pensions (income from property) were replaced by a tax system of the kind that still exists today.

As a result of the March Revolution of 1848, with the "Law on the Relationships of the Classes and Noble Court Lords" of April 15, 1848, the special rights of the class were finally repealed. In addition, in the provinces, the districts and the district administration districts of the Grand Duchy were abolished on July 31, 1848 and replaced by "administrative districts", whereby the previous districts of Bensheim and Heppenheim were combined to form the administrative district of Heppenheim . Just four years later, in the course of the reaction era, they returned to the division into districts and Siedelsbrunn became part of the newly created Lindenfels district .

The population and cadastral lists recorded in December 1852 showed for Siedelsbrunn: Reformatory branch village with 316 inhabitants. The district consists of 1202 acres , 575 acres of arable land, 179 acres of meadows and 435 acres of forest.

In the statistics of the Grand Duchy of Hesse, based on December 1867, the settlement village Siedelsbrunn with its own mayor's office, 51 houses, 403 inhabitants, the district of Lindenfels, the district court of Wald-Michelbach, the Protestant Reformed parish of Wald-Michelbach of the Lindenfels dean's office and the Catholic Wald-Michelbach parish of the dean's office in Heppenheim. The municipality of Kreidach (34 houses, 285 inhabitants) was also administered by the mayor's office.

After the Grand Duchy of Hesse had been part of the German Empire from 1871, a series of administrative reforms were decided in 1874. The state-specific rules of procedure as well as the administration of the districts and provinces were regulated by district and provincial assemblies. The new regulation came into force on July 12, 1874 and also decreed the dissolution of the Lindenfels and Wimpfen districts and the reintegration of Siedelsbrunn into the Heppenheim district .

The Hessian provinces of Starkenburg, Rheinhessen and Upper Hesse were abolished in 1937 after the provincial and district assemblies were dissolved in 1936. On November 1, 1938, a comprehensive regional reform came into force at the district level. In the former province of Starkenburg, the Bensheim district was particularly affected, as it was dissolved and most of it was added to the Heppenheim district. The district of Heppenheim also took over the legal successor to the district of Bensheim and was given the new name Landkreis Bergstrasse .

The Grand Duchy of Hesse was a member state of the German Confederation from 1815 to 1866 and then a federal state of the German Empire . It existed until 1919, after the First World War, the Grand Duchy for was republican written People's State of Hesse . In 1945 after the end of the Second World War , the area of ​​today's Hesse was in the American zone of occupation and by order of the military government, Greater Hesse was created , from which the state of Hesse emerged in its current borders.

In 1961 the size of the district was given as 296  ha , of which 111 ha were forest.

In the run-up to the regional reform in Hesse, the community of Siedelsbrunn joined the community of Wald-Michelbach on December 31, 1971.

Courts in Hessen

The jurisdiction of the Oberamt Lindenfels was transferred to the new justice office in Fürth in 1813. With the formation of the regional courts in the Grand Duchy of Hesse, the Fürth regional court was the court of first instance from 1821 . In 1853 a new district court was created, the seat of which was in Wald-Michelbach and to which Siedelsbrunn also belonged.

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 in the same place, while the newly created regional courts now functioned as higher courts, the name was changed to the Wald-Michelbach District Court and assigned to the district of the Darmstadt Regional Court . On July 1, 1968, the district court district was added to the district court of Fürth and the district court of Wald-Michelbach was dissolved.

Historical descriptions

In the attempt of a complete geographical-historical description of the Elector. Pfalz am Rheine can be found in 1786 via Siedelsbrunn:

'A small village four hours south of Lindenfels, its neighbors to the east the previous Schönmattenwag; towards the south the Kurmainzische Unter-Abtsteinach; to the west is the next village Kreidach, and to the north is Wald-Michelbach. It is sometimes also called Seydenheim, Sigelbrunn and Sigelsheim. Otherwise it belonged to those little villages who owned the taverns of Erbach as Kurpfälzische fiefdoms, and whose residents were obliged to give the Palatinate to their wine press house in Hemsbach die Frohn , also to give Az , Beeth and treasure ; [...] Two brooks arise in the locality: one falls into the Euterbach, but the other joins the Kirbisbach at the village of Kreidach below. The country road leading from Weinheim into Erbachisch runs through the village. [...] At the Siedelsbrunn district and the borders of the Waldeck winery is the Lichtenklingen court, which has been inherited from the Electoral Chamber of Commerce and where a brook gathers that falls into the Euterbach. In ancient times there was a chapel there, to which many pilgrimages are said to have taken place. However, it cannot be found to which parish such belonged. Presumably it was a branch of Wald-Michelbach. In the spiritual beech of the Kurf. Philipps says: “The Caplony for Lichtenkingen is owned by someone called Herr Jorg, and has got three guilders or me from it. Such beneficiaries are always to be granted to minem most gracious lord. ”In the division of the church, such fell to the Reforest, who, however, let them go completely. A forest, called the Hartberg, which contains 125 m of land, belongs to the farm itself. "

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

»Siedelsbrunn (L. Bez. Lindenfels) reform. Filialdorf; is 3 St. von Lindenfels has 33 houses and 293 inhabitants, which besides 2 Luth. and 15 Cath., are reformed. Siedelbrunn occurs in 1012 under the name Sidilines Brunnon . The Erbach taverns owned the place as a Palatine fiefdom, but by comparison from 1509 it was ceded to Palatinate. In 1705, when the church was divided, the church fell to the Reformed, but they let it go. In 1802 Siedelsbrunn came from Palatinate to Hesse. On May 31, 1824, a part of the village was laid ashes. The fire compensation amount was 16,263  florins. "

The latest and most thorough alphabetical lexicon of all localities in the German federal states from 1845 states:

»Siedelsbrunn near LindenfelS. - Village, to the Reformed, resp. Catholic parish of Waldmichelbach. - 33 H. 293 (mostly Reformed) E. - Grand Ducth. Hesse. - Prov. Starkenburg. - Heppenheim district. - Fürth district court. - Darmstadt Court of Justice. - The village of Siedelsbrunn passed from Palatinate to Hesse in 1802. «

In 1858, Christoph Friedrich Moritz Ludwig Marchand wrote in his local history from Lindenfels to Siedelsbrunn:

»The Erbach taverns owned the place as Palatine life (see above Thalcent No. 7“ Erlenbach ”. Also on March 14, 1443 Philip III of Erbach was enfeoffed by Elector Ludwig). The residents of the Electoral Palatinate had to do and give feedback (Kelterfrohnd nach Hemsbach). In 1442 an instrument was set up between man and man. Ongoing disputes were settled between Ludwig V and Schenk Eberhard on July 5, 1509, and Siedelsbrunn ceded forever to the Palatinate, against the village of Hetzspach, which belongs to Lindenfels, and the Palatinate serfs in the Erbach area. "

»On September 29th In 1414 on St. Michels of the Holy Archangel's Day, Count Palatine Ludwig awarded the donor Eberhard VII of the Fürstenau line the tithe to Erlenbach, and the villages of Siegelsbrunn, Ludewisches and his part of Scharbach (Siedelsbrunn and Lautenweschnitz) with the court Vogtei and other affiliations, which Gerhard had previously Petzer held on to Mannlehen. This fiefdom was exchanged in 1509 at the Electoral Palatinate for the village of Hetzbach near Beerfelden. The certificate is printed by Simon, Gesch. of the dynasts and counts of Erbach, document book p. 177. "
