history

Strinz-Margarethä is the oldest part of the municipality of Hohenstein and was first mentioned in 1184 under the Latinized place name Strentzge minorem (smaller Strentzge). This is a document with which Pope Lucius III. the Bleidenstadt monastery confirmed the ownership of the places Strinz-Margarethä and Strinz-Trinitatis. Around 1300 the place was called Strinzcepha . The word is made up of strinc and epha . The first syllable means desolate , undeveloped, desolate (from Old High German strinc or strine ), the second syllable epha or afa is the Celtic word for Bach . So Strinzepha means a (one) desolate with a brook . The Aubach flows through the village . The second part of the name is of ecclesiastical origin and indicates the consecration of a chapel or church of St. Margaret of Antioch and appeared around 1446. A separate parish is guaranteed for this year .

Probably as early as the middle of the 15th century, but no later than 1566, Bleidenstadt's feudal sovereignty was at best only of a formal nature and both Strinz towns belonged to the Nassau-Walram office of Idstein . In Strinz-Margarethä, however, the Bleidenstadt rights seem to have lasted a little longer. A formal sovereignty of the abbot is mentioned as early as the 18th century and in 1782 several Bleidenstadt tithe (at this time, however, had already fallen to the Mainz cathedral chapter ) in Strinz-Margaräthe were also confirmed by Idstein.

Forty households in the village are recorded for 1566, and 90 to 100 inhabitants for the period around 1700.

Depending on the location, Strinz-Margarethä is also called Vorder- or Hinterstrinz in the vernacular. For the Bleidenstadt it is Vorderstrinz, for the Limbach z. B. it is the other way around.

On July 1, 1972, the previously independent municipality of Strinz-Margarethä formed the new large municipality of Hohenstein together with six other municipalities on a voluntary basis as part of the regional reform in Hesse . For Strinz-Margarethä, as for the other districts, a local district with a local advisory board and local council was established.

coat of arms

Until it was incorporated in 1972, the place had its own coat of arms, which it continues to maintain as a district:

Blazon : "In black, a silver, soaring, four-footed winged dragon with red nostrils, claws and a three-flame tongue, a red rope around the neck, held by a silver right hand with a red cuff with a silver button that grows from the upper left edge of the shield."

The town flag is blue with the town's coat of arms in blue and the name of the town beneath it in black Old English letters.

Declaration of the coat of arms: The dragon tied by a rope comes from an old seal from 1609, on which it is depicted as its attribute with the figure of St. Margaretha, the church patroness and namesake of the place. According to the rules of heraldry, the modern design focused on the representation of the figure of St. Margaretha renounced in favor of her attribute, the tied dragon.

Culture and sights

The Protestant church was built in 1836 as a classical hall building on a small hill. The baroque organ was probably built by Johann Jakob Dahm in 1710 for the Weißfrauenkloster in Mainz . The organ was later installed in Nieder-Ingelheim , and in 1853 it came to Strinz-Margarethä. The first school dates from 1694. The previous school building was built in 1871, the next one in the 1950s. Both are residential buildings today.

In the village there is a village community center , the Aubachhalle from the 1970s, and a wine press house , in which the traditional apple juice and cider production is maintained.
