Auringen is a district of the Hessian capital Wiesbaden .
geography
Geographical location
Auringen is located on the northeastern city limits of Wiesbaden. The oval-shaped town center rises, surrounded by fields, on the hill that lies between the Aubach and the Wickerbach and at the foot of which both bodies of water unite.
The newer part of Auringen, the settlement Am Rotenberg , extends east of the Aubach long and narrow in north-south direction along the state road L 3028 from the north portal of the Schulwald tunnel of the high-speed railway line Cologne-Rhine / Main to the Auringen-Medenbach station of the Ländchesbahn . Between the center and the new housing estate in the Aubach Valley, over a distance of 200 m, there is only one small house.
Neighboring places
Neighboring districts are Naurod , Medenbach , Heßloch and Kloppenheim . Not belonging to Wiesbaden, Eppstein ( Main-Taunus-Kreis ) borders with the Bremthal district on Auringen.
climate
Due to its location close to the Taunus, Auringen has a typical low mountain range climate. Due to its location away from the city, the temperature is lower and the air is “better” than in the center of Wiesbaden.
history
Until the 17th century
Unfortunately, the exact year Auringen was founded can no longer be determined with any certainty. What is certain, however, is that there were settlements in the region as early as the Bronze Age , and graves from the Hallstatt period (800–400 BC) have also been found in the forests around Auringen.
Officially, 1252 is the year in which Auringen (or "Urungen" as it was probably called) was first mentioned in a document. However, the name Aoringon is allegedly already mentioned in documents from the Bleidenstadt monastery around the year 897 in a list of goods. However, since the documents of this monastery from the time of experts are repeatedly doubted, this early development of the settlement cannot be manifested. However, it is also interesting that in a decree of King Henry IV of February 25, 1062, an exchange of goods between the monastery of Bleidenstadt and Bishop Arnold von Worms is confirmed. The Bleidenstadt monastery is also mentioned here , but one should be able to assume that a royal decree is true. Auringen was next mentioned on March 13, 1252, when Gotfried von Bingen and the St. Jakob monastery (Mainz) had a dispute over different places, including Auringen.
From the 13th century onwards, Auringen belonged politically to Nassau . In 1404 the Kloppenheim and Auringen courtyards were shared by Philip I of Nassau-Saarbrücken and Adolf II of Nassau-Wiesbaden.
Auringen played an important role at that time, as the borders of the adjacent areas Nassau-Idstein, Curmainz and Hessen-Darmstadt converged in its vicinity. The so-called Dreiherrenstein still stands at the point where all three areas met. It is a triangular stone with the abbreviations NI (Nassau-Idstein), CM (Curmainz) and HD (Hessen-Darmstadt), as well as the date 1730, stamped into the three sides. Since Auringen did not have a church at this time (it belonged to Kloppenheim until 1718), it received little financial support and was therefore always threatened with being incorporated into the surrounding communities. For a long time it was also dependent on others in terms of education and politics.
17th and 18th centuries
The Thirty Years War did not stop at Auringen either. The village must have been prosperous before that, after all, 26 families lived here back then, and the population shrank dramatically, as everywhere. 3 years after the war there were only 8 residents left. Entire villages around Auringen disappeared during this barbaric time. There is said to have been a settlement near today's Wellinger, and there was also a large homestead where today's settlement "Auf den Erlen" is.
The mayor Hans Peter Ernst had a warehouse book made for Auringen in 1686, in which the possessions of the residents were precisely recorded. It speaks of at least 17 riding horses . At this point, however, Auringen had already lost its markings (e.g. the Hockenberg) (due to the turmoil of the Thirty Years' War). The limits at that time can be understood from this inventory book. However, the definition of the borders brought no improvement in terms of "neighborly peace" with the surrounding communities. There were always border conflicts, especially with Medenbach, as a "special" event of 1723 shows: In the summer, some pigs from the Auring people crossed the boundary to Medenbach , where they were caught by the "Hessians" and brought to Wildsachsen . The people of Auring were asked to pay a ransom of 50 guilders. The Auringers then formed the following night under the leadership of the mayor Johann Nikolaus Ruf (1708–1733) and led the pigs back to Auringen without worrying about the shouting about the border violation. There were also clashes on the other side of the village. So there was always trouble about the meadows between Auringen and Kloppenheim . When it was particularly violent one day, the people of Auring are said to have attacked the people of Kloppenheim with scythes and sticks and shook them up.
Around 1707 the first village school teacher was employed in Auringen. This gave Auringen a little more independence from Kloppenheim, where all students have been sent up to now. In 1716 the mayor Johann Niklas Ruf reached before the sovereign that Auringen was allowed to build his own church. The foundation stone was laid on August 12 of this year. At Easter 1717 4 boys and 3 girls were confirmed in Auringen. The tower of the church was added later (1787).
Auringen suffered during the French Revolution 1789–1799. When Mainz was occupied by the French, the surrounding regions, including Auringen, had to carry out digging work. When Mainz was then besieged by the Prussian troops, Auringen served as a winter camp. The Prussians were replaced by Austrian and Saxon troops in 1793. When the country was overrun by the French for the second time, they devastated and left behind fear and horror from the imperial troops even when they withdrew. On July 12, 1796, the French troops came for the third time. For fear of renewed attacks, many people from Auring and Nauroder withdrew into the woods with their cattle.
19th century
Since Nassau and its possessions belonged to the Rhine Confederation , men from this area also had to take part in combat during the Napoleonic Wars of Conquest. When Napoleon finally suffered a defeat near Leipzig (October 16-19, 1813), the French withdrew to Mainz. On November 17, 1813, the first Cossacks invaded Auringen . The French had acted harmlessly against them. The Russians looted everything they could carry. Everything else was set on fire and destroyed. Even animals were tortured in agony while residents hid in the surrounding forests.
In 1820 the first “proper” water point was set up in Auringen on Lindenborn. Others were added later. The water was fetched from this well until 1902; According to the legend of the ancients, the rattle stork also had its "camp" there.
When the Franco-Prussian War raged in 1870/1871 , 24 citizens of Auring also took part, 23 of whom returned healthy. The only victim to complain about was Johann Georg Ruf, who fell ill with dysentery and died near Paris. A reminder linden tree was planted at Lindenborn and a memorial plaque was placed in the Protestant church. More than 100 years later, a linden tree was supposed to be planted in the same place so as not to completely lose the memory, but this was not allowed. Less than a year later there was a pasture on this spot that was cherished and tended by everyone, but nobody knew how it got there. But even that no longer stands today. A little further on the meadow, a biotope is currently being built to compensate for the settlement being built on the other side of the road (on the pump site of the old dairy).
Auringen was accessible by public transport in 1879 with the opening of the Wiesbaden-Niedernhausen railway line, with Auringen and Medenbach having a common train station. In this way, many workers now had the opportunity to earn their money in Biebrich at the Albert chemical works and in the "red factory", the Hoechst dye works . They heralded the change in Auringen from a farming village to a residential village.
20th century
During the First World War , 100 men were drafted from Auringen, 19 of whom were killed in the war. A memorial was erected in her honor (today it stands in front of the cemetery after having moved several times). After the end of the war, Auringen was occupied by troops again; first the retreating German troops flooded the area, then the French came.
In 1934 the Auringen Volunteer Fire Brigade was founded.
During the Second World War , 100 men from Auringen had to take up arms, 16 of whom were killed and 9 were missing. Up until February 2, 1945, Auringen did not get too much of the actual war events, when bombers dropped bombs all over the area that night. 16 farms were destroyed as a result. On March 23, 1945, the American troops advanced, in front of which the retreating Nazis marched through Auringen. Auringen was quickly captured, however, and without major incidents one could look forward to an end to the war.
In 1970, after long discussions, the bus connection to Wiesbaden was established using line 21.
On September 18, 1975, as a joint project of the municipalities of Auringen and Naurod, the sewage treatment plant was put into operation, which was considered to be one of the most progressive with an efficiency of 90–95 percent. This will probably be shut down in the foreseeable future as the wastewater is to be pumped to Wiesbaden in the new main sewage treatment plant.
Religions
Auringen has a Protestant church in the old town center and a Catholic church in the new part of the town , to which a kindergarten is also connected. In the new district of Tannenring there is a Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses.
Incorporation
Auringen was incorporated into Wiesbaden on January 1, 1977 as part of the regional reform in Hesse . Auringen was previously an independent municipality in the Main-Taunus district .

coat of arms
|
|
Blazon : "In blue a rising golden sun with a halo, raised by a silver shield with a green-rooted linden tree." |
| Explanation of the coat of arms: This coat of arms, officially awarded on June 18, 1952, is based on two local seals: 1. the AVRINGER GERICHTSSIGEL from 1700, which is written above a shepherd and a banner with the letters ADE ("Aurora dormientem excitat" = "The dawn wakes the sleeper") the shining sun shows; and 2. the community seal introduced towards the end of the 19th century with a linden tree in the shield. In the 19th century (from 1816 to around 1890), the community used written seals between these two seals. The old meaningful image of the Aurora with its "talking" reference to the place name, which was completely forgotten in the community, could not be adopted without the younger, still vigorous symbol, the community community planted in 1871 at the community fountain. The tinging was determined by the old Nassau character of the place. |
