Ulmtal

Ulmtal​

Hesse

The municipality of Ulmtal was an independent municipality with around 2500 inhabitants in the Wetzlar district . It was merged on January 1, 1977 by the law to reorganize the Dill district, the districts of Gießen and Wetzlar and the city of Gießen with the municipality of Greifenstein and several other municipalities to form the new larger municipality of Greifenstein .

history

As part of the regional reform in Hesse , the then independent communities Allendorf , Ulm and Holzhausen (all Wetzlar district) merged on February 1, 1971 on a voluntary basis to form the Ulmtal community, named after the Ulmbach , which flows through all three towns.

Ulmtal became a recreation area in the 1970s. An outdoor pool, a mini golf course, the reservoir of the Ulmbach , as well as developed hiking trails, an adventure park and barbecue huts promoted tourism.

However, as it is today, the main industrial focus was on the metalworking trade.

All three districts of the community had a train station, and Ulm had a stop on the Ulmtalbahn . Thus Ulmtal was well connected to the district town of Wetzlar and Gießen , and the Postbus improved the connection to the surrounding villages.

End of the parish

The Hessian state parliament decided that the Ulmtal community was too small. At this point in time, however, the community had a per capita credit of 800 marks, which seldom happened but did not affect the state parliament's decision.

Until the last session of the state parliament before the regional reform in 1977, Ulmtal was to be incorporated into the neighboring city of Leun . But the state parliament decided against it at the last moment. Ulmtal became part of the municipality of Greifenstein on January 1st, 1977.

Variations

In 1976 there was speculation about a merger with the then still independent communities of Bissenberg , Biskirchen and Stockhausen to form the community of Lahn-Ulmtal or with the communities of Edingen , Greifenstein , Greifenthal and Daubhausen , possibly also with Katzenfurt to form the community of Ulmtal-Dill .
