The formerly independent town of Wiebelsbach has been a district of Groß-Umstadt in the Darmstadt-Dieburg district in southern Hesse since 1971 . It consists of the districts of Wiebelsbach and the town of Frau-Naus , which was incorporated on January 1, 1961 .

geography

The village of Wiebelsbach is located at the eastern foot of the Otzberg , in a small valley basin open to the north-east. It is a quiet place, which, due to its location at the transition from the Odenwald to the Rhine-Main area and the good transport links to the nearby cities, serves as a place of residence for commuters.

history

Wiebelsbach is mentioned for the first time in a document in 1303. The document is a sales contract in which a couple from the neighboring village of Heubach sells land to the Höchst Monastery for 9 Heller . The location of the affected piece of land indicates that it is towards Wubelspach . In the years that followed, the name of the village changed again and again, for example in the 14th century it was referred to as Webelsbach and Niderwibbelsbach , and in the 15th century as Wobelspach and Wibelspach . The current name appears for the first time at the beginning of the 19th century.

Like all surrounding towns, Wiebelsbach belonged to the Fulda Monastery , which was given the area around Groß-Umstadt in 766 AD by King Pippin . Until 1521 Ober-Naus belonged to the district of Umstadt . 1521 was a result of the Landshut War of Succession the Palatine Oberamt Otzberg awarded. The Thirty Years' War also led to great devastation and hardship and misery in the area around Wiebelsbach. The village narrowly escaped the fate of other surrounding settlements (Nalsbach, Unrode), which were completely extinct after the end of the war. In 1633, of the former 17 families (83 people) only 2 families lived in the village. The settlement was not given up and in 1784 144 people were living there again. The Oberamt Otzberg fell to the Landgraviate of Hessen-Darmstadt in 1803 as a result of the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss . With the exchange contract between the Hesse-Darmstadt and the Lord von Löwenstein-Wertheim on February 5, 1805, the Habitzheim office came about, which in 1806 fell to the Grand Duchy of Hesse through the Rhine Confederation Act . The lower jurisdiction remained with Mr. Löwenstein-Wertheim until 1822.

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

»Wiebelsbach (L. Bez. Breuberg) reform. Filialdorf; is 2 St. from Breuberg, initially at Otzberg and belongs to the Prince of Löwenstein – Wertheim – Rosenberg. The place consists of 53 houses and has 335 inhabitants, plus 20 Luth. and 53 Catholics are reformed. Not far from Wiebelsbach, against Lengfeld, was Nalsbach, from which a noble family called Bach von Nalsbach. This place still existed in 1569, and the area is still known under the name of Nalsbüch. The von Habern were enfeoffed by the Lords of Bickenbach with several pieces of goods to Wiebelsbach. The place came in 1802 from Palatinate to Hesse and in 1805 in exchange to Löwenstein, until it was under Hess in 1806. Your Highness came. "

The small village was away from major traffic routes and was only connected to the next larger settlement Groß-Umstadt by a dirt road . The journey to the nearby grand-ducal capital Darmstadt was arduous; it was not until 1840 that it was possible to travel to Darmstadt twice a week on a transport vehicle belonging to a haulage company from Groß-Umstadt. In 1836 the construction of a provincial road from Darmstadt via Groß-Umstadt to Höchst in the Odenwald began. The road was completed in 1843 and stimulated trade and crafts throughout the region.

With the construction of the Odenwald Railway in 1870/1871, Wiebelsbach rose to become an important hub in the railway traffic of the Grand Duchy of Hesse . The reason for choosing Wiebelsbach as the hub was the aim of the grand ducal government to direct traffic from the Odenwald to the residential city of Darmstadt. At that time, Groß-Umstadt was already connected by rails to both Darmstadt and the Prussian Frankfurt , which prevented the possibility of direct transfer to Frankfurt am Main due to the chosen route. The current station building was erected at the beginning of the 20th century and replaced the first building from 1884.

The village changed with the railroad traffic. Until the construction of the railway, Wiebelsbach was dominated by agriculture, most of the inhabitants came from families who had always lived in the village. With the construction of residential buildings for railway employees from abroad, many “strangers” are moving to Wiebelsbach for the first time. In the golden age of the railroad, the station provided work for 130 people in the village.

Due to the proximity to the large metropolitan areas of Frankfurt , Darmstadt and Mannheim , Wiebelsbach also felt the effects of the air raids of the Second World War . From 1944 the station was repeatedly targeted by Allied bombs. Due to the severe destruction in the surrounding cities, over 100 people were housed in Wiebelsbach as bombed out. The Second World War ended in Wiebelsbach with the invasion of American soldiers on March 26, 1945, who occupied the village on the way along the B 45 towards Höchst .

In 1961 the town of Frau-Nauses is incorporated into Wiebelsbach.

Territorial reform

In the course of the regional reform in Hesse , Wiebelsbach gave up its independence on December 31, 1971 and became a district of Groß-Umstadt. In a previous referendum, the overwhelming majority of residents were against joining the Otzberg community . For the core city of Groß-Umstadt and the districts of Dorndiel, Heubach, Kleestadt, Klein-Umstadt, Raibach, Richen, Semd and Wiebelsbach, local districts with local advisory councils and local heads were established in accordance with the Hessian municipal code. The boundaries of the local districts follow the municipal boundaries of December 30, 1971.
