Springen is a district of the municipality of Heidenrod in the Rheingau-Taunus district in southern Hesse .

geography

Springen is located on a ridge in the northeastern Wispertaunus high above the Wispertal in the west, the Dornbach in the south and the Dornbach II in the east. The place is surrounded by extensive agricultural areas, which are framed by partly steeply sloping wooded valley slopes. The ridge has a connection to the Kemeler Heide in the northeast .

The spatial proximity to the local recreation areas Rheingau and Middle Rhine , to the Loreley , as well as to the Aar and Lahntal on the one hand and to the economically strong Rhine-Main area on the other hand contribute significantly to the residential quality of the district.

Jumping is at an altitude of 440 meters.

history

In 1107, jumping was first mentioned in a document as a triple jump . Triple jump means something like place of the three springs .

In addition to agriculture, wool weaving was an important industry in the Middle Ages . The trade in Dreispringer cloths is documented in Augsburg for the year 1555. This highly developed craft was destroyed in the Thirty Years' War.

As part of the regional reform in Hesse , the municipality of Springen merged with 15 other municipalities on December 31, 1971 on a voluntary basis to form the municipality of Heidenrod . For jumping, as for all other districts, a local district with a local advisory board and local councilor was set up.

Culture and sights

The listed Protestant Church of St. Odile stands in the village . It is essentially a medieval former fortified church from the 12th / 13th centuries, which has been rebuilt several times.
