Church and clubs
Speckswinkel is the mother community of the Protestant parish Speckswinkel-Erksdorf. Michael Fenner is the pastor.
The place has a lively club life. The largest clubs are the gymnastics and sports club (TSV), the traditional costume and folk dance group (TVG), the volunteer fire brigade , the mixed choir and the fraternity. There is also a beautification club. The home calendar working group publishes the home calendar , a booklet on the current and past history of Speckswinkel, every year on the first Advent . The chairman of the working group is the long-time mayor Anita Ochs ( SPD ), its founder is the last mayor of the independent municipality of Speckswinkel, Heinrich Naumann.
Attractions
A special attraction is the Protestant church with a rectangular windowless Romanesque choir tower.
Economy and Infrastructure
Economic structure
Another special feature is the production facility of the Matsch & Brei press , which is housed in a spacious farm. In 1977 cider production began with borrowed production equipment. Three years later, five friends built a wine press on their own farm. The harvest is "watered" annually by the press festival, where young and old meet for a lively get-together in the press farm.
There has been no grocery store in Speckswinkel since 2013. An agricultural contractor and an electrician are based there, and a computer business until 2004. One of the former two restaurants closed at the beginning of the 2000s. The other continues.
The main employers of the Speckswinkel family, the confectionery manufacturer Ferrero and the iron foundry Fritz Winter , can be found in Stadtallendorf, seven kilometers away . Speckswinkel's traditionally strong bond with the city of Neustadt was expressed with the incorporation of the independent community into the city of Neustadt as part of the local government reform in 1974. However, this connection is often regretted in view of the financial strength of the city of Stadtallendorf. The importance of Neustadt as a supply and work place is also diminished by Stadtallendorf, Schwalmstadt , Kirchhain and Marburg .
Not far from Speckswinkel, a wind farm with 16 wind turbines has been built on the Krückeberg since 2002 . The Krückeberg (345 m) is a priority area for the installation of wind power plants in the Central Hesse regional plan . More wind turbines are to be built after the construction of the A 49. The operator of three of the systems is HessenEnergie , a subsidiary of the Upper Hessian utilities . Other systems are operated by a private investor from the Neustadt district of Mengsberg .
traffic
Speckswinkel is traversed by two streets: the district road 15 ( Langenstein -kreis border near Momberg ) and the state road 3071 (Neustadt- Ernsthausen ). Since the suburbs bypass was built in the early 1990s, they no longer run through the old town center and past the church, but through Lindenstrasse and Birkenstrasse. However, this divides the place into the smaller old part and the slightly larger new part.
With the further construction of the A 49 motorway , Speckswinkel will get an entrance / exit on the L 3071 . The planning approval procedure for the further construction of the motorway , which so far ends at Neuental -Bischhausen and should lead to the A 5 near Gemünden , was applied for in August 2006. A possible start of construction is still completely unclear.
Speckswinkel is in the area of circulation of the Upper Hessian Press (Verlag Hitzerod Druck + Medien, Marburg). In addition, the newsletter published by the city administration appears without any editorial background and various advertising papers.
