Geographical location

Sprendlingen is part of the settlement axis that connects the cities of Frankfurt am Main and Darmstadt with densely packed urban settlements in a north-south direction . The settlement areas of Sprendlingen and the northern neighboring town of Neu-Isenburg are only separated by a forest belt around 500 meters wide, and the distance to the outskirts of the southern neighboring town of Langen (Hesse) is no more than 1000 meters. Sprendlingen is located on the upper reaches of the Hengstbach , which drains the locality to the west and feeds the Schwarzbach as a source river , which in turn flows south of the Mainspitze into the Rhine .

The district area covers around 40 percent of the urban area of ​​Dreieich - the center, the north and northeast - and amounts to 2045 hectares, of which 1029 hectares are forested (status: 1961). The forest area lies in the north and northeast and is part of the forest belt in front of the neighboring town of Neu-Isenburg and the extensive forests between Neu-Isenburg, Heusenstamm and Dietzenbach. These forest areas are part of the former Dreieich Wildbanns . They mainly drain north via the Luderbach into the Main near Frankfurt-Niederrad . The highest point of the district is on the southern edge at 176.5 meters. Here is the agriculturally used ridge Auf der Hub .

Sprendlingen borders the city of Neu-Isenburg in the north, and the forest areas of Offenbach am Main and Heusenstamm in the northeast . In the east there is a shared border of around 200 meters with Dietzenbach and a long border with the Götzenhain district . In the south is the Dreieichenhain district . Sprendlingen has grown together structurally with this district. In the open field, also in the south, follows the district boundary with Langen . Finally, in the west, Buchschlag is neighboring. Along the Buchschlager Allee / Eisenbahnstrasse traffic axis , Sprendlingen also merges almost seamlessly into this district.

history

Memorial inscription for the Jewish community Sprendlingen in the valley of the communities in Yad Vashem

The first written mention of Sprendlingen (more precisely its district) falls in the year 834 as Spiren Dilinger marca . In 880, the East Franconian King Ludwig III. a gift from his father via the church in Sprendilingun to the Salvatorkapelle in Frankfurt ("with accessories"). Since this church was consecrated to St. Lawrence , it can be assumed that this church was founded early. It is possible that the Dreieich area was evangelized from here .

Opinions differ about the origin of the place name. Due to the ending in -ingen , however, it can be assumed that the Alemanni were founded , which penetrated into the so - called Agri decumates on the right bank of the Rhine from 250 AD, when the Upper Germanic-Raetian Limes was abandoned , which until then was part of the Roman province of Upper Germany were. The first part of an Alemannic place name is usually a personal name, which is why the name Sprendlingen can stand for "People of Sprand", "... of Sprendilo" or "... of Spiridio". The name could also be related to the Swabian (partly derived from the Alemannic) sprandel , which means something like 'haughty', or from Middle High German spræjen like ' spræjen ', i.e. possibly a lively brook.

The Counts of Isenburg gained sovereignty over Sprendlingen in 1486 from the Falkensteiner inheritance . In 1528 the Reformation was introduced and in 1816 Sprendlingen came to the Grand Duchy of Hesse . In 1871 the station Buchschlag-Sprendlingen was opened on the Main-Neckar-Bahn and in 1905 the Dreieichbahn to Ober-Roden .

In 1885 the Frankfurt industrialist Johann Wilhelm Mössinger founded the Mariahall stud, the first and, for a long time, most successful private trotter breeding facility in Germany.

Sprendlingen had a Jewish community that was destroyed in the Shoah .

With the influx of refugees and displaced persons from the former German eastern territories after the Second World War , the population of Sprendlingen rose to over 10,000 for the first time. This was one of the prerequisites for being awarded the title of city . The municipality of Sprendlingen was then given the designation city by the Hessian State Ministry by a cabinet resolution of May 28, 1947 .

Territorial reform

In the course of the regional reform in Hesse on January 1, 1977, the law on the reorganization of the Offenbach district merged the cities of Dreieichenhain and Sprendlingen and the communities of Buchschlag, Götzenhain and Offenthal to form a city with the name Dreieich . Local districts for the city districts were not established.
