Röddenau – Wikipedia

Röddenau is a district of the municipality of Frankenberg (Eder) in the Eder Valley in the Waldeck-Frankenberg district.

Make [ Edit | Edit the source text ]

The former village and the current district of Frankenberg (Eder), Röddenau, is located about four kilometers west of Frankenberg in the Breiten Eder Valley. Through the town of the Goldbach, which rises in the forest area west of Wangershausen, and the control center, also called the “Litzebach” in local language use, the source of which is at the foot of the control head. Both waters lead to the Eder, the Goldbach east of the sandmill, the control center near the slate mill.

Location [ Edit | Edit the source text ]

Due to the expansion and widening of the federal road in 1953 and 1967/68, the old coherent core of the village with the church and the court linden in the middle was cut into two parts. The areas belong to the part of the former federal road: in the blade, Am Berg, Rodenbacher Weg, Am Goldbach, Scheidweg, Battenberger Straße and Hainer Weg. To the south of the former federal road, the areas: Mühlenstraße, Ortsweg, Musselweg and Riedweg. Around these old town center, the new development areas were created at the end of the 19th century and in the 20th century: Am Elseberg, Hainer Weg, Höheborn, Rodenbacher Weg, Schlinge, Auegarten, at the train station, in the play, Niederfeld and finally Scheidweg and on the Warthe.

Röddenau was one of the largest village communities in the Franconian district until 1970 and, according to the municipal reform, is the largest district of Frankenberg from 1971.

Origin of the place name [ Edit | Edit the source text ]

The place name Röddenau certainly goes back to the fact that an area in the Ederaue cleared to the creation of this branch and thus received land to build and manage. The name changed over the centuries through linguistic changes, but also by the fact that the forms of name in the documents available today were often written down by writers to mere hearing.
The following mentions from Röddenau were preserved (each with the year of origin of the document): [first]

Foundation [ Edit | Edit the source text ]

Röddenau is one of the oldest places in the old district of Frankenberg. The court biographer Charles of the Great, Einhard, goes into the battle in 778 between Battenfeld and Laisa, in which a Franconian-Alemannic army met a Saxon army withdrawal on the home march and hit it. He mentions the large slaughter on the Aderna river (Eder), in which only a few Saxons could get to safety by fleeing. It can be assumed that Röddenau also passed this year, which is also supported by several excavations and finds. But there is no safe evidence of a dated certificate.

Gift in the “Codex Eberhardi” [ Edit | Edit the source text ]

In the Hessian State Archives of Marburg, the “Codex Eberhardi”, which was compensated for in the 12th century, is kept, in which the gift certificate of a certain Albuin is found to the Fulda monastery, in which he gives his possessions in “Pago Hassorum in Rutenemarchach” to the Fulda monastery. This gift certificate is undated so that it can only be assigned to a period in comparison with parallel certificates. The document researcher of the 20th century and connoisseur of the older Fulda documents, Edmund Ernst Stengel, initially assumed a dating at the end of the 8th century (780), but revised this after he was compared with Fulda documents from 818, 825 and 838 It was convinced that the gift certificate in question must have arisen after the term of the Fulda Abbot BauGulf at the beginning of the 9th century. If this is the dating, the 1200th anniversary was celebrated in Röddenau in 2005.

Regional reform [ Edit | Edit the source text ]

On December 31, 1970, the previously independent municipality of Röddenau was a voluntary basis in the city of Frankenberg (Eder) in the course of the area reform in Hesse (at the time Frankenberg-Eder ) integrated. [3] For the Röddenau, as for the other districts, a local district with local advisory board and local mayor was set up according to the Hessian municipal code. [4]

Traffic [ Edit | Edit the source text ]

Former Röddenau train station

In its old part, Röddenau is a village with old half -timbered houses, some of which have had to be demolished in the past fifty years to improve the infrastructure. In the middle of the town, the busy federal road 253 from Frankenberg to Battenberg (Eder) led the busy federal road 253 by May 2005. Since then, the main traffic on a bypass has been passed past the district. This has brought considerable relief for the vast majority of residents, only those who live near the new bypass are exposed to greater noise pollution.

Röddenau had a train station – built in 1907 by Alois Holtmeyer – on the Nuttlar – Frankenberg railway line, which has now been shut down.
