Strassheim

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Straßheim (also Strassheim , Ober- , Nieder-Straßheim or Löwenhof ) is the name of a deserted village near Friedberg in the Wetterau district in Hesse . While no distinction is made in earlier documents, later sources name two places with the names Ober- and Nieder-Straßheim. Ober-Straßheim probably remained a larger farm or a group of farmsteads. Both places fell desolate in the 15th or 16th century. The Nieder-Straßheim church continued to exist and was only demolished in 1804.

Nieder-Straßheim (Straßheim)

Straßheim was first mentioned in 1064, when it was still part of the County of Malstatt under the Count of Nürings . The Straßheim church is mentioned for the first time in 1184. It was probably built on the foundations of an older chapel from the 9th century. The church belonged to the St. Alban Abbey near Mainz . The church in Friedberg-Fauerbach was affiliated with the Straßheimer church , as well as the churches in Ockstadt , Bruchenbrücken and Ober-Rosbach, each with its own pleban . The church was only demolished in 1804, when a Roman votive stone was found in the foundation.

The church probably also had a small cemetery and a rectory. In the imperial war against Philipp von Falkenstein , the place was looted and burned down and rebuilt a few years later. After the plague, around 1500 many residents moved to Friedberg. The pastor's office subsequently became orphaned. The Straßbach flows east from Ober-Straßheim , where it flows into the Wetter at the Görbelheimer Mühle . His name still points to the two places that went out. Nieder-Straßheim was west of the old road from Ockstadt to Nieder-Rosbach , north of the Straßbach. The field names Straßheimer Bach , An der Straßheimer Church , In the large Straßheimer Grund as well as in the small Straßheimer Grund have been preserved. In neighboring Friedberg, Straßheimer Strasse was named after the desert. A block on the Friedrichsdorf – Friedberg railway line also bore the name.

Ober-Straßheim (Löwenhof)

The Ober-Straßheimer Hof (location: 50 ° 19 ′ 2.6 ″  N , 8 ° 41 ′ 48.2 ″  E ) was a separate area. It is also called the Löwenhof , as it was owned by the Freiherren Löw von Steinfurth for a long time . To the south-east of this courtyard on Alte Butzbacher Strasse there is said to have been a place Ober-Straßheim. The following documentary mentions are known:

The Ober-Straßheimer Hof belonged to the area of common law , which was valid here without the superimposition of particular law. This retained its validity even while the membership of the Grand Duchy of Hesse in the 19th century, until 1 January 1900 by the same across the whole German Reich current Civil Code was replaced.

In 1806 the court fell to the Grand Duchy of Hesse as a result of the Rhine Confederation Act , which incorporated it into the Principality of Starkenburg (from 1816: Province of Starkenburg ). The patrimonial jurisdiction of the noble family initially continued. This was only exercised by the Grand Duchy of Hesse from 1822 in the name of the jurisdiction. At the same time, administration and jurisdiction were separated . It was only as a result of the March Revolution of 1848 that the special civil rights were finally abolished with the “Law on the Relationships of Classes and Noble Court Lords” of April 15, 1848.
