Unter-Schmitten is a district of Nidda and is located in the Hessian Wetteraukreis .

Geographical location

Unter-Schmitten is located north of the core town of Nidda in the northern Wetterau on the edge of the Vogelsberg . The location extends on both sides of the Nidda and south of the Ulfa , which flows into the Nidda here. To the west of the village rises the 199 meter high Martinsberg, which is used for agriculture . The town center on Brückenstraße had developed on a Nidda bridge on the western left bank. Along the street Am Klingelfeld the place has grown together with the northeastern neighboring Ober-Schmitten. The highest point of the district lies in the far east and reaches 270 meters on the wooded western slope of the Friedrichsberg . The district area is 425 hectares, of which 60 hectares are forested (as of 1961).

history

First mention

The existence of the two places Unter-Schmitten and the neighboring village Ober-Schmitten can be deduced from two descriptions of the situation from October 1, 1441 and March 22, 1442. The older description of the location calls meadows, located "zu den tzwen smytten," the younger one speaks of meadows, "located zu den tzweyn waltsmitten."

The oldest known documented mention of the place names took place in 1449 as "Oberste und Underste Waldsmytte". The place name is self-explanatory.

Another story

In the Middle Ages iron was melted and processed in the village . The last iron hammer was shut down in 1630. A paper mill was built in its place . In the 19th century pots, pans and roof tiles were made from clay .

There used to be six mills in the area , but none of them work today. The "Bruchmühle" is located 0.5 km northeast of the village.

The Frankenhausen desert is still in the district .

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

“Untermitten (L. Bez. Nidda) evangel. Branch village; is on the Nidda, in a grove of fruit trees, 3 ⁄ 4 St. from Nidda, has 91 houses and 480 inhabitants, who are Protestant except for 1 Catholics. There are 30 farmers and 31 craftsmen, among whom there are 22 stewards alone , as well as 3 mills and also 1 paper mill that delivers good paper. "

As part of the regional reform in Hesse , the previously independent municipalities of Bad Salzhausen, Borsdorf, Fauerbach bei Nidda, Geiß-Nidda, Harb, Kohden, Michelnau, Ober-Lais, Ober-Schmitten, Ober-Widdersheim, Stornfels, merged on December 1, 1970 Ulfa, Unter-Schmitten, Wallernhausen and the city of Nidda to form the new city of Nidda.
