On the northern edge of the village there is a stop on the Wabern – Fritzlar – Bad Wildungen railway line that went into operation in July 1884 .

history

The village was first mentioned in a document as "Cenre" in 1193. The spelling of the place name appears in various modifications over the centuries, with variations of "Ober-Zennern" occurring at times - to distinguish it from the neighboring Niederzennern settlement , about 350 m southeast of today's village, which was deserted by 1387 at the latest .

The village was once surrounded by a wall with a moat.

A local noble family is proven from 1193 to 1354. Their court, probably a castle seat , was probably on the edge outside the actual village; a house sold by Georg von Falkenberg to a local farmer in 1598 could have been the remainder of this castle seat.

As part of the military buildup in the Third Reich, which put Air Force of the Armed Forces in the years 1935-1938 a 300-hectare airbase in the Eder valley began between Fritzlar and Zennern. About a quarter of the acquired land to belong to the district of Zennern. From March 1938, the place was the location of fighter planes and 1944–1945 of night fighters . It was used by US occupation troops from 1945 to 1951 , then by French occupation troops until 1956 , and has been the Fritzlar Air Base of the German Armed Forces since 1956 . The area of ​​the army airfield, which was formerly part of the Zennern district, was incorporated into Fritzlar as part of the Hessian regional reform with effect from December 31, 1971.

Also on December 31, 1971, the previously independent town of Zennern was incorporated into the municipality of Wabern.

Church and Church History

Village church in Zennern

A pleban was first recorded in 1248. Zennern was an independent parish until 1525. It was under the patronage of the Petri-Stift Fritzlar until 1527, after which it was under landgrave patronage as a result of the Reformation introduced in the Landgraviate of Hesse after the Homberg Synod in 1526 . The first Protestant pastor was Johannes Kortze from 1527. In 1569, Zennern was provided by the parish office of Uttershausen , in 1574 it was temporarily connected to Singlis , was provided in the following year and in 1585 from Wabern and was a branch of Wabern from 1780 , from 1872 a branch of Fritzlar, today of Obermöllrich.

The evangelical church in the southern part of the village - called "Michaeliskirche" since 1999 after a pilgrim sign on a bell dated 1470, given in the Second World War and since then lost - apparently goes back to a previous building from the 15th century. It is a rectangular, simple hall building made of red sandstone with three window axes and portals on the east and west side, crowned by a gable tower in the west . The construction date on the weather vane is 1799. The building designed by the Kassel master builder Johann Andreas Engelhardt was performed in the years 1799–1801 by the master bricklayer Heinrich Röhner from a Geismar bricklayer family. At Easter 1799 the last service was held in the old church, which was then broken off; it was surrounded by a wall with a moat and is therefore a fortified church. To the partially coming even from the construction equipment in the new church are in addition to the workshop of Johann Dietrich Kuhlmann in Gottsbüren 1818-19 created in 2002 and meticulously restored by the organ builder Andreas Schiegnitz organ a pre-Reformation baptismal font , and likely in 1889 created glazing "The Good Shepherd ”by KJ Schultz and a glazing of all windows created around 1966, which shows the blessing Christ of Judgment Day above the altar .
