Mammolshain has been a district of Königstein im Taunus in the Hessian Hochtaunuskreis since 1972 .

Geographical location

The place is on the southern slopes of the Taunus , on a terrace above the Main plain . Because of its climatically favorable location on the southern slope of the Hardtberg , the place became known as a sanctuary for children with lung diseases . Its numerous sweet chestnuts are also famous . At the foot of the village, partly on Kronberger, partly on Mammolshain area, lies the Kronthal spring park with its mineral springs .

The location and character of the place are beautifully described by Rudolf G. Binding (1867–1938) in the introduction to his story The Scarecrow :

“In a sunny sleep, year in, year out and never awakened, the village of Mammolshain lies on the first step of one of the most beautiful German low mountain ranges, which rises strongly and self-confidently from the broad river plain where the cities rule the country. In the angle that the first mountain road forms with the mountains rising more powerfully above it, it has nestled itself like a sunning kitten, and almost sinks into the dense dome of old, broad-armed real chestnuts that only this southern slope of the mountain bears . Since the stream of strangers and townspeople who set up their summer apartments on the heights waving to them into the smoky plain is diverted by the railways to other base points of the mountains, years probably go by without the old, darkened tiled roofs with the crooked ridges being replaced by a new one see below that disturbs the peace and quiet of their sight for a while. Because the little village grows out of itself only gently in its sleep.
In front of the Kastanienring, however, a gently running promontory, with no forest and hardly a few deciduous trees, extends far out towards the plain and the sun; and there on the one dependent side with the poorer soil lie the few fields of the Mammolshain in narrow, almost scanty ribbons, on the other broader and on the back of the depression in well-tended soil, endless strawberry plantations, bed after bed, their yield in the Sold in cities, makes a nice income every year, big enough not to make the comfortable farmers think of other businesses.

history

The village probably originated at the beginning of the 11th century as one of the numerous clearing settlements established at that time . In 1191 "Meinboldeshagen" was first mentioned in a document. Up until the 13th century, the history of the place was closely linked to the Counts of Nürings and the Lords of Bolanden-Falkenstein . In the 14th century Mammolshain came as a fief to the Vogtei Schwalbach and in 1539 to Ludwig von Stolberg . At that time the settlement received local rights . In 1581 the place came together with Königstein as an imperial fiefdom to the Electorate of Mainz , whose fate he shared in the wars of the 18th and early 19th centuries. In 1803 he became Nassau in the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss , in 1866 he came to Prussia with the Duchy of Nassau .

Territorial reform

The previously independent municipality of Mammolshain was incorporated into Königstein im Taunus on August 1, 1972 as part of the regional reform in Hesse by means of state law.

Culture and sights

Sweet chestnuts

Seat chestnuts

Mammolshain advertises itself as a "sweet chestnut village". The cultivation of sweet chestnuts ("Kestebäum") has been documented since 1756 . In 1931, 640 trees were counted. According to the IG Edelkastanie , which has been in existence since 2005, this roughly corresponds to today's number. The Rhine-Main Regional Park took up this motif with the "seat chestnuts". It is a seating area. The wooden “benches” are laid out in the shape of chestnuts, which were renewed in 2009.

church

Mammolshain Church

In 1738 the Catholic St. Michael's Chapel was consecrated in Mammolshain. After the Second World War , the number of Catholics rose sharply due to the influx of displaced people. The parish church of St. Michael was therefore built from Mammolshain stone. On October 3, 1948, the church was consecrated by the Limburg bishop Ferdinand Dirichs . The old Michaelskapelle was integrated into the new church as Marienkapelle. On September 25, 1960, the church received four bronze bells in the tones of ha-fis-e. In 2000, the old, preserved bell of the original Michael’s Chapel was hung in the belfry as the fifth bell. It was in storage until then. "Since 1962, the year in which the bell was handed over to its destination, the old bell, which had previously been used in the roof turret of the Michael's Chapel, has been silent and has lived in the basement of the sister house. 1991, on the occasion of the 800-year celebrations von Mammolshain, the Holy Spirit Sisters returned the bell to the parish. From then on, it could be seen in the entrance area of ​​St. Michaelskirche. As part of the renovation work on the bell chamber, the parish council and the board of directors decided to hang the bell in the bell chair again. Since the church consecration on October 3rd, 2000 the bell can be heard again. It announces the time on the half hour and on the full hour. "

Georg Fuchs memorial stone

Georg Fuchs memorial stone

The monument to Georg Fuchs is located at the “Kronberger Eck” at the upper end of the town. He was killed on January 27, 1899 in a firecracker on the occasion of the Emperor's birthday . He left a wife and six children. Shortly after the funeral on January 30th, the warrior comradeship erected the memorial. This monument, the oldest in the town, was moved to its current location in 1977. Before it was on the other side of the street.

societies

The rather village character of the place is reflected in the traditionally lively club life. While the football club celebrated its hundredth anniversary in 2010, the choral society could already look back on 104 years. In recent years, associations have also been founded and public festivals and celebrations such as village festivals, concerts, curbs, exhibitions and the Christmas market have become an integral part of the course of the year.

Cycling race

Mammolshain is known nationwide for the cycle race around the financial center Eschborn-Frankfurt , formerly "Around the Henninger Tower", with its short but extremely steep ascent on the Mammolshain mountain .
