Ueberau (in the local dialect: Iwwero) is a district of Reinheim in the Darmstadt-Dieburg district in southern Hesse .

geography

Ueberau is located north of the Vorderen Odenwald in the Reinheimer Hügelland , a fertile and forestless loess area that extends from Ober-Ramstadt to Groß-Umstadt . The place is on a Gersprenzübergang near the Seewiesen , opposite the core town of Reinheim, on the right eastern bank of the river.

Ueberau borders the Reinheim district in the west along the Gersprenz, the Habitzheim district in the north, the Nieder-Klingen and Ober-Klingen districts in the east, the Wersau district in the south near Hippelsbach and the Groß-Bieberau district in the south-west .

The district Ueberau had an area of ​​636 hectares according to the status of 1961 and is not forested. It extends in north-south direction for four kilometers with a width of one to two kilometers between the Gersprenz in the west and the Schweinsgraben-Sandgraben in the east, the route of the Odenwaldbahn in the north and extends almost to Hippelsbach in the south. Here, in the most distant part of the district, is the Hundertmorgen settlement . Hard to the north of this settlement, on the border with Ober-Klingen, is the highest point in the district at 256 meters, which has not been named.

history

The earliest surviving mention of Ueberau can be found in a document from Count Eberhard I. von Katzenelnbogen from July 24, 1305 with the name “Ubera” and probably means “Obere Aue” or “Over the Aue” (the lake meadows). Prehistoric finds, mainly in the “Im Sand” area, suggest that the area was settled around 5000 years ago. At the site of the Hundertmorgen district, which belongs to Ueberau, there was a Roman settlement, as can also be deduced from soil finds.

That Ueberau is even older than the 700 years celebrated in 2005 is proven by statements in a document from 1316 and investigations on the oldest parts of the church , which confirm that they date from the end of the 12th century. In the historical documents, the place name is documented under changing spellings over the centuries. (The year it was mentioned in brackets): Obernahe (1316); Vberahe (1316); Ubera (1318); Vberawe (1326); Vbira (1330); Wberahe (1336); Oberahe (around 1550): Vberaw; Vberaw (1620); Iberaw (1625).

With the County of Katzenelnbogen , Ueberau fell to the Landgraviate of Hesse in 1479 and the Reformation was introduced here in 1527 . At the end of the Thirty Years' War the place was almost extinct and only the name Ramge remained. Later immigrants from Switzerland were also settled, as evidenced by the names Egly, Schönberger, Stuckert and Schuchmann that still exist today. Ueberau was part of Reinheim in the judicial district of the district of Oberramstadt . The centering was divided into so-called "rice car," each of which a top magistrate board that the Zentgrafen were subordinated. This district had to provide a freight wagon ( rice wagon ) including draft animals and servants for campaigns. Reinheim belonged to the "Reinheim Reiswagen", which, in addition to the city, also includes the associated mills and farms as well as Ueberau. The entire district of Oberramstadt was assigned to the Lichtenberg office . This classification existed until the beginning of the 19th century.

The statistical-topographical-historical description of the Grand Duchy of Hesse reports on Ueberau in 1829:

»Ueberau (L. Bez. Reinheim) Lutheran Filialdorf; is 1 ⁄ 4 St. von Reinheim, on the right side of the Gersprenz, and has 95 houses and 664 inhabitants, the except for 2 Cath. 1 Reform. 5 Mennonites and 3 Jews are Lutheran. In the area there are pits of white sand, which is heavily executed. - The Mosbach von Lindenfels had a regional settlement court here, at which the von Mosbachische Hubengüter were granted; the same thing happened from a Hessian regional settlement court with the Churpfälzische Hubengüter, which carried the calves from Reinheim as fiefdoms. In the 30 Years War all the houses burned down except for 11. «

Ueberau was co-administered by the city of Reinheim until 1862. Then he formed an independent community. Already 10 years before the residence city of Darmstadt, Ueberau obtained electrical light for street and house lighting from a dynamo installed in a water mill (Dieter's mill) on the Gersprenz in 1895 .

With the construction of the railroad around 1870 and the associated industrialization , the labor movement grew stronger and stronger, as it did in all of Germany, including in Ueberau. In particular, the workforce of the Frohmann Granitwerke company , which consisted to a large extent of migrant workers, partly settled in Ueberau. Most of these workers were unionized and belonged to the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD), which founded a local association in 1903. Due to the political changes during and after the First World War, local associations of the Independent Social Democratic Party of Germany (USPD) and the Communist Party of Germany (KPD) were established in 1919 . In the 1928 Reichstag election , the KPD won more votes than the SPD for the first time.

After the Second World War, the community remained a communist stronghold; in the region, Ueberau is also known as the "Red Village". From 1948 the communist Adam Büdinger officiated as mayor of the then still independent municipality of Ueberau. In the municipal council elections in 1952 , seven out of twelve mandates went to the KPD. In the run-up to the KPD ban in August 1956, communists and non-party voters formed the Independent Voting Association (UWG), which in October 1956 achieved an absolute majority with seven seats. Mayor Büdinger remained in office. On October 14, 1960, nine days before the local elections , the UWG was banned by the Hessian Interior Minister . On the same day, police broke into the mayor's office and pronounced him and the two associates deposed. The official business was taken over by a state commissioner appointed by the Darmstadt regional council . Büdinger's call to vote invalid in the upcoming election was followed by around a third of the voters. In the local elections in 1968 , 38% of the vote went to the German Peace Union (DFU).

After the founding of the German Communist Party (DKP) in 1968, it was continuously represented in the local advisory board of Ueberau, which has now been incorporated into Reinheim.

Local government

Ueberau belongs to Reinheim for a long time and on February 28, 1862 it becomes a separate municipality, which then belongs to the Dieburg district of the Starkenburg province. On December 31, 1971, Ueberau voluntarily joined the city of Reinheim as part of the regional reform in Hesse . For the core town of Reinheim and the incorporated districts, local districts with local advisory council and local councilor were set up according to the Hessian municipal code, whereby the joint local district Georgenhausen-Zeilhard was established for the merged districts of Georgenhausen and Zeilhard .

coat of arms

Coat of arms Reinheim Ueberau.svg

Blazon : "Under the blue head of a shield, in it a lying silver stag pole, divided into nine silver and red sections an upright golden hare."

The (unofficial) coat of arms of Ueberau was designed in 2012. The hare is a symbol for the inhabitants of the village, whose nickname is "Iwweroer Sandhase", as they used to roam the country as grit dealers selling sand. The red and silver background shows that it belongs to Hessen . The silver stag pole on a blue background is taken from the coat of arms of the knight Sinolt, who lived in the "Großer Sinoltshof" until his death in 1439 and was buried with his wife in the church of Ueberau .
