history

Spangenberg - Excerpt from the Topographia Hassiae by Matthäus Merian 1655

middle Ages

The first documented settlements in and around Spangenberg were dated to the eighth century AD. However, it took almost 200 years until Pfieffe was mentioned in a document as the first settlement in the surrounding area in 1037. A place called Meinbrateshusen was mentioned as early as 920 AD, but whether it was Mörshausen is not known.

The oldest preserved church in the Spangenberg area was built in Mörshausen in 1150. At the beginning of the 13th century, Count Ludwig I von Ziegenhain enfeoffed the Knights of Treffurt with rule over Spangenberg. In 1235 they began building the Spangenberg Castle .

In the centuries that followed, the Hessian landgraves who resided there carried out further modifications and extensions. The first mention of Spangenberg and its designation as civitas (city) is dated to the year 1261 AD. In the same year the construction of the city church of St. John began.

In 1309 the knights Hermann and Friedrich von Treffurt gave Spangenberg city rights according to Lippstadt law . The original document is in the Hessian State Archives in Marburg . The new town with the St. Elisabeth hospital and chapel was first mentioned in a document in 1338. The Treffurter sold city and Spangenberg Castle in 1350 for lack of funds and various family feuds for 8,000 pieces of silver to Landgrave Henry II. ; since then Spangenberg is Hessian. Spangenberg Castle was the residence of the Landgrave's son Otto der Schütz , who died there in 1366 and was buried. By merging the courts of that time, Morschen. Mörshausen, Schemmern and Auf der Landena with the rule of Spangenberg, the office of Spangenberg was established in 1350 .

The Carmelite Monastery of Spangenberg was founded in 1357 and in 1486 the monastery church, of which only remnants have survived after a major fire in October 1888, was completed. The construction of the town church, which began in 1261, was not completed until 1421. The construction of the town hall probably began in the 15th century. After the introduction of the Reformation in the Landgraviate of Hesse in 1526, the Carmelite monastery was dissolved in 1527.

Modern times

The Spangenberg town hall

By swapping with Quentel , Schnellrode , Vockerode-Dinkelberg and Weidelbach came from the Hessisch Lichtenau office to the Spangenberg office in 1530. During the Thirty Years' War almost all the villages in the Spangenberg Office suffered severe damage and losses. Linen production played an important role for Spangenberg in the 18th century; In the years 1789/1790 the Spangenberg office was a leader in the production and export of shock leashes in the area of ​​the Hessian landgraves. As a result of an administrative reform in Hesse in 1821, districts were created, the Spangenberg office was dissolved and has since belonged to the Melsungen district .

The first clubs were founded in Spangenberg in the middle of the 19th century, including the Liedertafel men's choir in 1842 and the TSV 1863 Spangenberg in 1863.

In 1874 the economy in Spangenberg was given a boost by the construction of a section of the Leinefelde – Treysa railway . The Spangenberg train station was opened in 1879. At that time many Jewish citizens lived in Spangenberg, they were mainly active in business.

Heinrich Salzmann , son of the city and co-founder of the company Salzmann & Comp. , donated the Liebenbach monument in 1902 , it depicts the saga of Kuno and Else .

In 1910/11 the construction of the old city school at the Eulenturm, today's castle seat school , began.

On June 15, 1913, Kaiser Wilhelm II visited the town and the castle, which at that time served as a Prussian forest school.

In the 1930s, many Jews sold their properties to escape the Hitler regime . At Easter 1945 several houses and the castle were victim of American fire bombing attacks. The castle was completely destroyed. In the 1950s it was rebuilt with funds from the State of Hesse. The state of Hesse is still the owner of the castle today, it is administered and leased by the Hessian real estate management.

After the war, during the economic miracle in Germany, many companies were founded in Spangenberg, including the Wilhelm Kullmann saw factory, the city's largest employer.

The new building of the Burgsitzschule Spangenberg in the Winternot district was opened in 1972, thereby eliminating the constant shortage of space in the schools. Through the administrative and territorial reform in Hesse between 1970 and 1974, twelve formerly independent communities were merged with Spangenberg.

Also in 1974 the more than 100 years of passenger traffic on the Kanonenbahn , a section of the Berlin-Coblenzer Railway, was discontinued. A little later, the cessation of freight traffic followed. Only a few of the old track systems are still visible in the Spangenberg area; the rails have been removed. The old station building is since 1994 as kindergarten age Station used.

In 1975 the city was awarded the title of state-recognized climatic health resort . However, this was revoked in 2012.

Incorporations

On February 1, 1971, as part of the regional reform in Hesse, the previously independent communities Bergheim, Metzebach, Schnellrode and Vockerode-Dinkelberg were incorporated on a voluntary basis. On April 1, 1971, Mörshausen also volunteered. Elbersdorf, Herlefeld, Nausis and Pfieffe also followed voluntarily on December 31, 1971. The series of incorporations was completed with the compulsory incorporation in accordance with state law of Bischofferode, Landefeld and Weidelbach on January 1, 1974.

religion

The town church of St. Johannes in Spangenberg

The majority of the Spangenberg population is Protestant . Spangenberg belongs to the Evangelical Church of Kurhessen-Waldeck . The evangelical parishes in Spangenberg (parish Pfieffe, parish Mörshausen, parish Spangenberg I and parish Spangenberg II) are assigned to the parish Melsungen in the Hersfeld district .

The Catholic parish of Spangenberg-Morschen is part of the St. Brigida Schwalm-Eder-Fulda Pastoral Association, which belongs to the Fritzlar deanery in the Fulda diocese .

The former synagogue

The synagogue of the Jewish community was in today's Untergasse . It is still preserved as a residential building. The ritual objects were brought to the synagogue in Kassel before the Reichspogromnacht . Part of the Spangenberg Torah silver is in the Jewish Museum New York .

The memorial stone in the Jewish cemetery

In 1933, 109 people of the Jewish faith lived in Spangenberg. This corresponded to about 5.2% of the population. Due to an initiative of the NSDAP local group leader Theobald Fenner, all Aryan domestic workers were forcibly taken from the houses of Jewish families on the night of September 15, 1935 . That same night, the National Socialists' torchlight procession took place on the market square, during which many shops and apartments of Jewish families were devastated. This was also one of the reasons for the accelerated emigration of Jews from Spangenberg.

In 1981 the city of Spangenberg erected a memorial stone for the Spangenberg victims of the tyranny on the Jewish cemetery on Schlossberg . The initiative came from students from the Spangenberg castle seat school.

On April 29, 2008, Gunter Demnig laid seven stumbling blocks .

At present there are again Jews living in Spangenberg.
