Wolfgruben is a district of the municipality of Dautphetal in the central Hessian district of Marburg-Biedenkopf . It is the most north-westerly part of the municipality and has grown together with Dautphe , the main town of the municipality, via the Wilhelmshütte industrial estate .

Geographical location

The village of Wolfgruben is located on a right, western lower terrace of the Lahn valley and on the slopes of a side valley that flows into it here. Wolfgruben is located about 5 km south of the former district town of Biedenkopf and about 17 km northwest of the regional center of Marburg . The federal highway 453 runs through the village from Biedenkopf to Gladenbach . The district is mainly in the natural areas of Oberes Lahntal and Breidenbacher Grund and covers an area of ​​214 hectares, of which 85 hectares are wooded at high altitudes (status: 1961). The highest elevations are the Beilstein with 461 m and Das Roth with 378 m, while the highest point is around 500 m and represents the eastern foothills of the Nimerich .

The old town center is located southwest of the federal highway 453 at a height of about 257 m and nestles perpendicular to today's main settlement axis on the northern slope of the Roths . It roughly comprises the streets Haselheide , Am Roten Weg and Bornwiese . With the construction of the road from Biedenkopf via Gladenbach and the Zollbuche to Gießen and Wilhelmshütte , the development of the settlement shifted along the 'old road' .

history

The existence of Wolfgruben can be documented since 1299. In 1465 it belonged to the Biedenkopf office , first in the Landgraviate of Hesse , later in the Landgraviate of Hesse-Darmstadt and then in the Grand Duchy of Hesse .

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

"Wolfgruben (L. Bez. Battenberg) evangel. Branch village; is located on the Lahn, as well as on the Chaussee from Biedenkopf to Giessen and 4 St. from Battenberg. The place has 30 houses and 138 inhabitants, who are Protestant except for one Catholic. Wolfgruben probably belonged to the church area of ​​Dautphe in the 15th century. "

Since 1867 Wolfgruben was a municipality in the Biedenkopf district in the Hesse-Nassau province of the Kingdom of Prussia .

Territorial reform

As part of the regional reform in Hesse , the Wolfgruben community was merged by law with 11 other communities on July 1, 1974 to form the new large community of Dautphetal in the Marburg-Biedenkopf district. For Wolfgruben, as for all districts, a local district with a local advisory board and local councilor was set up.
