history

The fertile slopes and side valleys of the Dill Valley were populated very early on. During excavations at the beginning of the 1950s, fragments, remains of utility tools, house floor plans, fireplaces and a gemstone from Roman times were found. Archaeological finds in the Edingen district run through all epochs and suggest a permanent settlement since the 4th century BC. Documents prove the existence of all three sub-locations since the 13th century.

Edingen and Fleisbach were shaped by agriculture and kept this structure until the middle of the 20th century. Meaning, however, was captured by the industrial revolution in the mid-19th century. Favored by the mining industry in the Sieg-Dill area, a steelworks settled, followed by foundries and metalworking companies.

The old cemetery with its gravestones reflected the origins of the “old and new Sinner” employed in the Sinner iron and steel industry. There are now only a few graves left in this cemetery, such as those of the hut directors of the Haas & Sohn company, who ran the Neuhoffnungshütte, who died in Sinn . Otto Haas measured his future grave in the presence of other senses while he was still alive by lying down in the recently dug pit. According to tradition, he was a joker at all; in winter he is said to have thrown coins between the skaters on the frozen first Stippbach pond, which led to a violent tussle. One of the missing or removed tombstones is the reddish, natural rock on the grave of the forester Schiebel. Also disappeared are two black and white painted wooden crosses, which came from the time of Hans-Erich Hess (also written with "sz") as parish priest (1930–1950, member of the confessing church, later senior church councilor of Hesse and Nassau) remembered the funeral of two "Russian girls" ( forced laborers ) during the Second World War.

The old cemetery in Sinn is an important testimony to the local history, although most of the historical gravestones have been removed. The old, small half-timbered church, which has been empty for a good four decades and is dedicated to those killed and missing in the World War, is a testimony to history; “Gutted” from the “inventory” from Calvinist- Nassau times, it was used until the late 1950s and was originally left in place. The clerk, the dean Blöcher and the deacon widow Weidenbach were the only participants in these evening services.

Hundreds of US 1 and 2 hundredweight bombs fell on the community of Sinn during World War II, but only two hit, causing only limited damage. The rest did not fall on the intended targets, such as the Gießen – Cologne railway line, or industrial and residential areas of Sinn, but fell on the hearth between Sinn and Edingen, where the bomb craters are still clearly visible today. Duds cannot be ruled out in this "bomb crater landscape under the forest".

Educated, socially committed personalities had also grown out of the non-church Sinner workers, such as the future mayor Reucker (machinist at Haas & Sohn), the communist Schwan, who protected many Sinner from attacks in the first days after the war, or the former Reinhold Simon, who knew the Sinner forest, the nature and the history of the Sinner pre-war, war and post-war years better than others.

As part of the regional reform in Hesse on January 1, 1977, the previously independent communities of Edingen and Fleisbach were incorporated into the community of Sinn by means of state law . Local districts with local advisory councils and local councilors were set up for all formerly independent communities .

Culture and sights

Buildings

With the Rudolfstraße / Hansastraße building ensemble , the community of Sinn has a historical site that has a unique selling point nationwide and is therefore protected as a whole and worthy of preservation. Around the stately complex Park and Villa Haas (architect Ludwig Hofmann) are lined up lavishly and individually designed villas of the senior officials and employees, from whom a residence obligation was initially expected. In direct relation to this, the former Neuhoffnungshütte opposite can be seen, which also housed a cruet and a consumption establishment. The upstream sleeping quarters and a palm house with park and plant nursery were demolished in the 1960s and 80s, as their historical significance was not sufficiently anchored in the monument protection at that time due to a lack of social relevance.

All of the remaining structures with annex buildings show a high degree of individuality through verandas, terraces, loggias and bay windows as well as a wide variety of roof formations. This is illustrated by z. B. in the free-standing buildings Rudolfstraße 4 and 6 expressed. The former, with the character of a country house influenced by the English cottage style , emphasizes the operational hierarchy simply through the building volume . The neighboring house, on the other hand, has late historical elements of the home style such as B. Truss.

Compared to the Bliersheim civil servants' housing estate , the entire Rudolfstrasse / Hansastrasse complex is still inhabited today and has been renovated, reconstructed and carefully restored to its original state through private initiative.

The semi-detached houses on Hansastrasse, built at a distance for the workers, not only document the traditional Bismarckian class society. At the time of the Wilhelmine Empire, they were progressive through their standard of housing with running water, electricity, bath and toilet. The rich architecture of the two of Ludwig Hofmann in the style of Neo-Renaissance villas Rudolfstraße 1 and 8 is also created here, albeit reduced to rediscover in the brick facades and blind arches.

The entire complex, which is characterized by old trees and well-tended gardens, also contains individual monuments . This includes a Chinese tea house, the wrought-iron main portal of Villa Haas and the fenced-in park with many style elements and accessories, which is bordered by the Dill Valley and merges into the Lahn-Dill-Bergland Nature Park .

Also planned by Ludwig Hofmann, the New Evangelical Church and School building complex in the center of the village was built around 1900. Right next to it is a half-timbered church from 1631 with stucco work by the Dillenburg artist Philipp Seiler.

At the north-western entrance to Sinn, the former administration building of Haas & Sohn dominates as a symbol of industrial culture. Erected from 1961–63 by the team of architects Fehling & Gogel, it corresponds to the ideal of European modernism of the 1920s. The eight-storey high-rise building, which was formerly clinkered in the horizontal facade structure and now banded in white, is modeled on the Research Tower of the Johnson Wax Headquarters by Frank Lloyd Wright , whose new American architectural style was copied and further developed by the Europeans after the Second World War. As a follow-up order, the Donges house was also built in Sinn (Mittlere Hochstrasse) in 1964, reminiscent of Frank Lloyd Wright's Usonia Houses . The extension of the Koch house built by Fehling & Gogel is located on Köding. Pointed gable house and polygonal extension show the limits of successful spatial perception, building aesthetics and integration into the environment.
