Weifenbach is a district of the city of Biedenkopf in the central Hessian district of Marburg-Biedenkopf with around 600 inhabitants .

geography

The village is located on the south-eastern edge of the Rothaargebirge , framed by mountains, the most famous of which is the bagpipe . The closest localities are Biedenkopf and Wallau .

In the center south of the central Reckenberg, two streams unite: The Weidenbach, which originates from the north-east of the village, flows into the Weifenbach, which originates from the north-west of the village. From then on, the Weifenbach continues southwards and out of town - it flows into the Lahn between Wallau and Ludwigshütte . The course of the two streams and their Y- shaped union are characteristic of the place and was therefore thematized in the coat of arms, see "shaft drawbar" in the coat of arms section . Some of the streams have been laid underground within the village. From the center and most of the village, the district east of the Weidenbach can be reached via bridges or by crossing the underground parts of the stream - therefore this area of ​​the village is popularly referred to as "the island".

history

The oldest known documentary mention took place on June 5, 1262 under the name Weyfenbach . This says that the bell ringer Walter von Weifenbach zu Biedenkopf donates goods to Weifenbach and a house in Biedenkopf to the trousseau of his relatives, the nun Zina, the monastery Kappel.

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

"Weifenbach (L. Bez. Battenberg) evangel. Branch village; is 3 1 ⁄ 2  St. from Battenberg, has 34 houses and 215 Protestant residents. Gerlach and Johann von Breidenbach gave this village to Landgrave Hermann in 1395. Weifenbach belonged to the church area of ​​Breidenbach. "

On December 31, 1971, the previously independent community in the wake of was municipal reform in Hesse after Wallau (Lahn) incorporated. With this, the place came to the city of Biedenkopf on July 1, 1974.
