geography

Geographical location

Wölfersheim is 40 km north of Frankfurt am Main in the Wetterau, not far from the cities of Bad Nauheim and Friedberg (Hesse) . The community is conveniently located on the A 45 with its own exit Wölfersheim . The local recreation areas Wetterauer Seenplatte , Niddastausee and Vogelsberg are right on the doorstep.

Neighboring communities

Wölfersheim borders in the north on the cities of Munzenberg and Hungen ( district of Gießen ), in the east on the communities Nidda and Echzell , in the south on the cities of Reichelsheim and Friedberg (Hesse) , and in the west on the city of Bad Nauheim and the community Rockenberg (all in the Wetterau district).

Community structure

Wölfersheim merged in the course of the regional reform in Hesse on December 31, 1970 with the places Melbach , Södel and Wohnbach to form the large community of Wölfersheim. On December 31, 1971, Berstadt also joined the community.

Almost 10,000 people currently live in the large community.

history

Bronze Age grave, found near the Wölfersheim train station, today in the Wetterau Museum in Friedberg. The grave finds gave the Bronze Age stage Wölfersheim its name.

Due to its location in the fertile Wetterau, numerous cultures have visited the area. Grave finds from the Bronze Age were name-giving for the stage Wölfersheim . The finds are exhibited today in the Wetterau Museum in Friedberg.

Remains from Roman times near Wölfersheim and Wohnbach

A Roman road coming from Friedberg runs through the Wölfersheimer and Wohnbacher Feld towards the Arnsburg Roman fort near Arnsburg-Lich. Another runs from the Echzell fort (partly Echzeller Weg), almost directly on the west side of the village and joins the first between Wohnbach and Münzenberg. The middle section of the Echzell – Arnsburg road can still be easily recognized on the road between Wohnbach and Wölfersheim, but has disappeared over the centuries due to land consolidation. The road from Wohnbach to Münzenberg to the forest entrance is a remnant of the Roman road. She continues through the forest to the fork with the first one. A medieval landmark marks this point.

In the Hinterwald district, only a few minutes west of the first-mentioned Roman road, there are the remains of a Roman estate, which is popularly known as "the stone house". The remains consist of a low, almost square wall with a width of about 160 steps, which contains masonry, on the east side, after the Römerstraße, the entrance can still be seen and near the west side the foundations of two square, roughly Buildings twenty paces wide.

The ruins of a Roman signal tower can also be found on Römerstrasse, about 800 meters northwest of the manor. The tower served to transmit signals from the Limes system and, due to its high location, probably had visual contact with the surrounding forts. There is a similar signal tower ruin on the Johannisberg in Bad Nauheim.

Sign at the place where the villa was found "Auf dem Gleichen"

During the construction of the A 45 motorway in 1976, numerous remains of the wall were discovered about one kilometer west of Wohnbach at the edge of the forest. A villa rustica, a Roman manor house, which had been known since the end of the last war, was uncovered after the preservation of ground monuments was brought in. Word of the discovery spread very quickly and numerous visitors from the village and the surrounding area came to admire the ancient walls, which still stood up to a meter. Due to a lack of time, not everything could be uncovered because the construction of the motorway had to be continued and the walls were filled in again. The A 45 Gießen-Hanau leads directly over the ruins. The rest of the property, which extended more than 80 meters beyond the motorway route, was completely destroyed during field regulation work.

Another Roman manor “Auf dem Gleichen”, which is not visible on the surface, is located near the Roman road Friedberg-Arnsburg near the Sandkaute von Wölfersheim. During a flight of aerial archeology, it was decided to uncover the well of the property for the extraction of vegetation residues, since the manor house was already 50 meters long. Furthermore, some graves of the associated burial ground were excavated. The grave of a wealthy Roman woman from Gutshof Wohnbach can be seen in the Wetterau Museum in Friedberg.

middle Ages

Place name and Franconian settlement

Wölfersheim, the largest part of the municipality of the same name, was first mentioned in 1128.

  • 1128 Vulfersheim
  • 1142-1153 Woluersheim
  • 1147 Wluersheim

The place name Wölfersheim belongs to the hometowns related to personal names. This also applies to the desert areas of Heyenheim (9th century) and Gysenheim (1090–1150) in today's Wölfersheim district. These place names refer to a development in the time of the Franconian conquest .

The find of a Franconian " noble grave " from the 7th century is documented. The finds included a spathe , sax , ango , arrowheads and shield bosses, as well as a glass beaker, a humpback vessel and a gold coin.

The name Wölfersheim can be derived from the personal names Wolfrat or Wolfhard , whereby the name Wolfhard was found much more frequently around 800. The personal names Giso and Hai (ch) o were also common around 800. The three places mentioned form the northern group of hometowns with personal place names between Wetter and Horloff .

Site fortification

With the completion of the fortifications in 1408, Wölfersheim was granted certain privileges under the government of the last Falkensteiner , Werner von Falkenstein . Although no development into a real city took place, Wölfersheim was now referred to as a patch , fortification , oppidum or “castle”. The circular wall around the historic town center was 794 m long and had four defense towers, namely the White Tower, the Black Tower, the current church tower and the Narrenturm. The latter is now a tower stump and surrounded by a barn on private property, but is still partially visible from the outside. Further defense towers are suspected, but the existence cannot be proven. Surrounded by the wall, Wölfersheim was then four hectares in size. The good preservation of the defense towers can also be explained by their continued use. The Black Tower was used as a bell tower for the Antonius Chapel and was also the community bake house. It was expanded into a poor house in the 19th century. A private person from Dorheim converted it into a residential tower . The White Tower continued to be used as a prison in the 18th century. The northern defense tower is used as the base for the bell tower of the Evangelical Reformed Church.

Reformation in Wölfersheim

Wölfersheim was a branch of Södel until 1611 . The parish of Södel was originally owned by the Mainz diocese, which is also referred to by the St. Martin's patronage. In the 12th century, the newly founded Ilbenstadt Monastery was given property to Wölfersheim and Södel. The church in Södel was also subordinated to the monastery. The then pastor Seifried Bender introduced the Evangelical Lutheran church service in his parish in Södel in the second half of the 16th century . The exact year of the introduction of the Reformation is not known. Since Wölfersheim wanted to break away from the Södler mother church, the Wetzlar theologian Antonius Schüler was hired as a teacher in the 1560s, without asking the mother church or the Ilbenstadt monastery . Later he was also given pastoral duties. When Seifried Bender got old and sick, he asked Antonius Schüler to take over the pastoral service in Södel. After Bender's death, Valentin Textor reasserted the rights of the parish of Södel and sent Antonius students away. However, from now on, services were also held in Wölfersheim. Symon Leurelius, Textor's successor, introduced the Reformed worship in the Södel congregation. He met resistance in Södel. The court and the municipality of Södel filed a complaint with the Ilbenstadt monastery, which states:

"[...] with the guardianship of the ruling gentlemen, not only the clock-old, Christian church ceremonies, but also the catechism for themselves and specially favor mutated and changed, sometimes in matre zue Södel, sometimes in Filiali ecclesia zu Wilfersheim until still used, also the time because apud filiam and never with them toe Södel communicated and led the poor youth from the Catechismo Lutheri ad Heydelbergensem. "

The monastery then dropped Leurelius in Södel. But in 1611 he moved to Wölfersheim. The removal of the pastor in Södel and the takeover of him as pastor of Wölfersheim meant the church separation of Södel and Wölfersheim.

After Leurelius' death in January 1612, the Södlers tried to reassert their old rights. A note in the church book showing the resistance of the Wölfersheimer reads as follows:

"According to his Thoth, the Lutheran from Södel wanted to nest here, but they sold their collatures , if they had let the pious old Symon die with them, they could have walked, but the nasuti [nosy wise men] had done it, so our goodness. Mr. Gr. Wilhelm the Elder gave them an original pastor M. Eberhardum Venatorem, because the Mintzenberger pp. calvinismum [because he was a Calvinist] abolished, chosen, a very learned man. "

According to the note, the rulers then installed their own Reformed pastor (Eberhard Venator). During the Thirty Years' War , the Ilbenstadt Monastery tried a counter-reformation in Wölfersheim, but it failed.

Territorial reform

In the course of administrative reform in Hesse , the communities were voluntarily Melbach , Södel , Wohnbach and Woelfersheim to advanced community "Woelfersheim" together . Wölfersheim was designated as the administrative seat.

Territorial history and administration

The following list gives an overview of the territories in which Wölfersheim was located and the administrative units to which it was subordinate:

Courts since 1803

In the Landgraviate of Hesse-Darmstadt , the judicial system was reorganized in an executive order of December 9, 1803. The “Hofgericht Gießen” was set up as a court of second instance for the province of Upper Hesse . The jurisdiction of the first instance was carried out by the offices or landlords and thus from 1806 the “Patrimonial Court of the Princes Solms-Braunfels” in Wölfersheim was responsible for Wölfersheim. The court court was the second instance court for normal civil disputes, and the first instance for civil family law cases and criminal cases. The second instance for the patrimonial courts were the civil law firms. The superior court of appeal in Darmstadt was superordinate .

With the founding of the Grand Duchy of Hesse in 1806, this function was retained, while the tasks of the first instance 1821–1822 were transferred to the newly created regional and city courts as part of the separation of jurisdiction and administration. From 1822, the princes of Solms-Braunfels let the Grand Duchy of Hesse exercise their court rights on their behalf. “ Landgericht Hungen ” was therefore the name of the court of first instance that was responsible for Wölfersheim. The prince also waived his right to the second instance, which was exercised by the law firm in Hungen. It was only as a result of the March Revolution in 1848 that the special rights of the civil servants became final with the “Law on the Relationships of Classes and Noble Court Lords” of April 15, 1848 canceled.

On the occasion of the introduction of the Courts Constitution Act with effect from October 1, 1879, as a result of which the previous grand-ducal Hessian regional courts were replaced by local courts in the same place, while the newly created regional courts now functioned as higher courts, the name was changed to "Hungen Local Court" and allocation to the district of the regional court of Giessen . At the same time Wölfersheim came to the Friedberg district court . In the Federal Replica of Germany, the superordinate instances are the Regional Court of Giessen , the Higher Regional Court of Frankfurt am Main and the Federal Court of Justice as the last instance.

Economy and Infrastructure

Coal and ash train at the train station in Wölfersheim

For many years, Wölfersheim and the surrounding area were shaped by lignite mining by the PreussenElektra . All around Wölfersheim, lignite was extracted in civil engineering operations and later also in open-cast mining and processed in the Wölfersheim power station , which for many years was the symbol of Wölfersheim. In 1804, the first mine was built to exploit the lignite deposits, which stretched over an area of ​​approx. 15 km, in civil engineering. First of all, heating material was obtained. In 1913, the Hessian state built a power station to generate electricity from lignite. In 1929 it was taken over by PreussenElektra, which built a smoldering power plant. After the Second World War it was replaced by a block power station. At the beginning of the 1960s, the company switched to opencast mining. In 1991 the last lignite was burned, the power plant was shut down and later demolished. Today the remains of the cooling system in Lake Wölfersheim testify to that time. Both a coal train and an ash train are set up as museum pieces at the Wölfersheim train station . Opposite the train station, the Wölfersheim Mining Museum was opened in the former substation on March 12, 2006. It is open on Sundays from 3 to 6 p.m. and gives visitors an insight into the history of Wölfersheim mining. With the end of mining, the community faced a challenge. Numerous jobs were lost and areas lay fallow. This was counteracted with the development of an industrial park. An industrial park with a diverse mix of industries was created on the former power plant site. Particular attention was paid to the integration of existing buildings. Today, cultural events take place in a former workshop, an office building has become a service center that offers space for young companies, and high-performance scanners are now manufactured in a former magazine . In September 2012 the OVAG Group inaugurated a biogas plant in Wölfersheim-Berstadt . The OVAG Group also operates a large solar park together with the municipality. At the beginning of 2017 it was announced that food retailer REWE would like to build a distribution center for groceries called Logistikpark A45 Wölfersheim on an area of ​​approx. 30 hectares in the Berstadt district of Wölfersheim , which will have approx. 570 employees. According to the company, construction is expected to start in March 2020. There is resistance to the project and others. a. in the form of the citizens' initiative Bürger für Boden , which regards increased overexploitation of the fertile soils of the Wetterau as a negative development.
