history

Staufenberg district

Staufenberg was first mentioned in a document in 1226.

The statistical-topographical-historical description of the Grand Duchy of Hesse reports on Stauffenberg in 1830:

“Stauffenberg (L. Bez. Giessen) city; is on a hill 1 ⁄ 2 hours from the Lahn and 2 hours from Giessen. There are 97 houses and 537 Protestant residents, as well as the ruins of a castle and the Friedelshausen farm nearby. The peat that the demarcation produces is of medium quality. - Stauffenberg used to appear under the name Stoufinberg , Stoyphenberg etc., and some derive the name from the German god Stuffo. As far as the news goes, the place is in the possession of the Counts of Ziegenhain, who were enfeoffed by Fuld with it, and the fiefdoms name the castle town and affiliations, Friedrich, a son of Landgrave Ludwig II. Comes in 1175 as provost of St. Stephan, but has appeared since 1186 as Count von Ziegenhain, and without a doubt had come to Ziegenhainischen possessions through Heurath. Among other things, he also had a stake in Stauffenberg. In 1233, Landgrave Conrad compared himself to Count Gottfried and Berthold von Ziegenhain for goods that previously belonged to his father brother Friedrich, and as a result of this comparison renounced his claims to Stauffenberg. At that time Stauffenberg appears to be one of the possessions in which several lines of the Ziegenhainisches Haus have had a share, and in 1324 even Count Johann von Solms became Burgmann of Count Johann von Ziegenhain. It was only with the counties of Ziegenhain and Nidda that Stauffenberg came to the landgraves in 1447. The castle was destroyed earlier. A Udenhausen prope Stauffenberg has gone out. "

Soil and cultural monuments

The Totenberg in the Treis district on the boundary with Allendorf harbors several archaeological features. Upon investigation of so-called Quarzitabris at the southeast foot of the slope came Paleolithic stone tools revealed; a ring wall on the mountain plateau yielded archaeological finds from various periods, in particular from the Michelsberg culture , the older Iron Age and the early Middle Ages .

The castle Staufenberg , a hilltop castle on the eponymous Staufenberg , formed the nucleus for the development of the market town Staufenberg in the Middle Ages. Even today, the Staufenberg district with the ruins of the upper castle, the lower castle used for gastronomy and its old town adorned by the late medieval gate tower characterize the landscape in the northern district of Gießen .
