Wembach district

History of the Wembach district

The place was first mentioned in 1287 as Wendebach . Feudal lords of Wembach were the Counts of Katzenelnbogen and when they died out in 1479 they fell to the Landgraviate of Hesse . The following are evidenced by documents:

Vassals Louis Blache (1287), 1392 Werner calf has Reinheim goods in Wembach by Count Eberhard of Katzenelnbogen to fief . Further fiefs were the families of Eulbach (Ulbach), Mosbach-Lindenfels and the lords of Erligheim . 1382 have "Werner calf war" horsemen (armed servants) of the cities of Frankfurt, Mainz and Worms significant damage in Nieder-Modau Ober-Modau, Rohrbach, Wembach and served on the Hofgut Illbach (Eulbach).

In 1489, Landgrave Wilhelm I of Hesse enfeoffed Philipp Kalb von Reinheim. In 1589 the landgrave had cents , high jurisdiction, command and prohibition. Before the Thirty Years' War, Wembach consisted of only two Hessian feudal farms, one of which belonged to the Reinheim calves and the other to the Mosbach-Lindenfels. At the end of the Thirty Years War the place was uninhabited. In 1669, Landgrave Ludwig VI . set up a stud and a second trout pond in Wembach and equipped the landgrave's estate Wembach in 1671 with a hunting and pleasure house . The landgrave lived in his estate in Wembach to relax and enjoyed staying there. From 1727 to 1810 the estate was used as a church and was then demolished.

In 1699, several fugitive Waldensian families from the municipality of Pragela in the Duchy of Piedmont were settled in Italy in Wembach, Hahn and the neighboring town of Rohrbach . 25 families with 125 people came to Rohrbach; 23 families with 115 people to Wembach and Hahn. In addition to its own pastors, the colony also had its own teachers and mayors and thus an independent administration. Hahn was rebuilt in 1718. In Wembach, new houses were built along the way to the Ziegelhütte, and many families continued to live in the old farm buildings. Pastor Jacques Moutoux died in 1738, he was born in Traverses / Pragela in 1656 and accompanied his congregation to his new home; he was followed by his son David as pastor for the colony. In 1745 extensive forest clearing was carried out to enlarge the three landgraves' farms, which had been assigned to the 48 Waldensian families by the landgrave.

Numerous families from the colony emigrated to Bandenburg in 1750 under the leadership of David Moutoux. The new pastor was Johann Philipp May (1750–1779), followed by his son of the same name (1779–1820).

In 1772 the pan mill was built. The construction of the new church, which began in 1814, was partly led by the builder Sonnemann and the engineer lieutenant Karger; it was only completed 30 years later. The Waldensians were banned from using the French language in church and school around 1820. Little by little they also lose their privileges.

The German residents of Wembach belonged to the judicial district of the Zent Oberramstadt . The centering was divided into so-called "rice car," each of which a top magistrate board that the Zentgrafen were subordinated. Wembach belonged to the "Oberramstädter Reiswagen", which also included the villages of Ober-Ramstadt , Hahn, Rohrbach , Asbach , Dilshofen , Ober-Modau , Nieder-Modau and Frankenhausen . The entire district of Oberramstadt was assigned to the Lichtenberg office . This classification existed until the beginning of the 19th century. The 321 French residents in Rohrbach , Wembach and Hahn (as of 1791) were subject to central jurisdiction and were not assigned to the rice wagons.

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

»Wembach (L. Bez. Reinheim) Lutheran and Reformed Filialdorf; is 1 1 ⁄ 2  St. from Reinheim, has 58 houses and 384 inhabitants, including 188 Luth., 194 Reform. and 2 Cath. - Here there used to be a farm called Wendenbach, which Landgrave Ludwig VI replaced in 1670. an apartment was built next to a stables and a barn. These buildings were given to the Waldensians in 1699, who expanded them into a village. The two ponds located next to it were created between 1669 and 1672. «

On November 16, 1838, master bricklayer Johann Balthasar Dörr dies in Wembach. From 1866 the administration was divided: from then on, one mayor was responsible for Rohrbach, another for Wembach and Hahn. The new school building in Wembach was built in 1900. The toddler school was inaugurated on August 18, 1912. The manufacturer Karl Doerr, Nieder-Ramstadt, had it built and bequeathed it to the community as a foundation. The Doerr brickworks closed in 1910, and in 1938 it was demolished. In 1934 the Wembach-Hahn volunteer fire brigade was founded.
