  • Historischer Rundgang Rennerod
    Mit dem Nachtwächter durch das alte Dorf und die junge Stadt Historischer Rundgang Rennerod 1. Begrüßung Der Nachtwächter heißt Sie herzlich willkommen in Rennerod. Rennerod ist Sitz der Verbandsgemeinde Rennerod und somit quasi Mittelpunkt des Hohen Westerwaldes. Stadt ist der Ort erst seit 1971; davor war es ein Dorf. Aber ein großes Dorf und schon von alters her mit gewissen Mittelpunktfunktionen. Zu Zeiten des Herzogtums Nassau (1816-1866) sogar Sitz der Amtsverwaltung. Im 17./18. Jahrhundert schon einmal Sitz des Amtes Stuhlgebiet. In seinen Anfängen war Rennerod ein Bauerndorf wie hundert andere im Westerwald. Entscheidenden Anteil an seiner positiven Entwicklung hatte die Lage an der alten Fernstraße Mainz – Siegen. Bald gesellten sich zu den Bauern die Handwerker und Geschäftsleute; es folgte die Verwaltung mit den staatlichen Einrichtungen wie Post oder Bahn und die Mediziner. Im letzten Jahrhundert kamen Industrie, Gewerbe und die Bundeswehr dazu. Der heutige Stadtteil Emmerichenhain, der 1969 zu Rennerod eingemeindet wurde, soll hier nicht unerwähnt bleiben. Der Ort blickt auf eine lange und bedeutende Vergangenheit zurück. Das Kirchspiel Emmerichenhain war eines der drei Kirchspiele, die die Herrschaft zum Westerwald bildeten. An die einstige Bedeutung erinnert heute noch die stattliche Pfarrkirche. Auch in Emmerichenhain hing die Entwicklung eng mit der Lage an der alten Fernstraße zusammen. Schon vor Rennerod kannte man hier einen Arzt und einen Apotheker. Am heutigen Sportgelände fand mehrmals jährlich ein Markt statt, an der Hauptstraße hatte eine Mühle Bestand. Ein Denkmal erinnert an Wilhelm Albrecht, den bedeutenden Förderer der Landwirtschaft im Hohen Westerwald. Folgen Sie dem Nachtwächter nun auf seinem Rundgang durch das alte Dorf oder die junge Stadt.

  • Castles Along the Rhine; the Middle Rhine
    CASTLES ALONG THE RHINE; THE MIDDLE RHINE The Middle Rhine is between Mainz and Cologne (or Köln) but the section of maximum interest for river cruisers is between Koblenz and Rűdesheim. This section is where they keep some of Germany’s best kept medieval keeps - 20 of them, some ruins, some preserved, all surrounded by vineyards and with quaint medieval towns. Around every bend another stone edifice stands watch over the endless parade of freight barges and cruise boats. Each castle has its own spot in Germany’s medieval past. Your river cruise will spend at least an afternoon cruising this section with everyone on deck with a cup of bullion, tea, coffee or a beverage depending on the weather and the cruise director providing commentary on each castle/town you pass. The Rhine gorge castles are bracketed by Germanic / Prussian monuments. At the south end is Rűdesheim with the Niederwalddenkmal monument, commemorating the foundation of the German “Empire” after the Franco- Prussian War. The first stone was laid in 1871, by Wilhelm I. The 38m (123 ft) monument represents the union of all Germans. The central figure is a 10.5 m (34 ft) Germania holding the crown of the emperor in the right hand and in the left the imperial sword. Beneath Germania is a large relief that shows emperor Wilhelm I riding a horse with nobility, the army commanders and soldiers. On the left side of the monument is the peace statue and on the right is the war statue. At the north end in Koblenz is Deutsches Eck (German Corner) where the Mosel and Rhine Rivers meet.

  • Limburger Justiz Im Wandel Der Zeit.Pdf
    Limburger Justiz im Wandel der Zeit Zur Geschichte der Gerichtsorganisation im Landgerichtsbezirk Limburg Von Georg Schmidt-von Rhein 1. Schöffenrecht und Amtmannsjustiz Die Geschichte der Rechtspflege im Landgerichtsbezirk Limburg ist die Geschichte von Bürgern, die schon immer wachsam auf die Einhaltung ihrer persönlichen Freiheiten geachtet, diese nach besten Kräften verteidigt haben und damit konsequent für eine unabhängige Rechtspflege eingetreten sind. In der über tausendjährigen Geschichte der Stadt spielen Gerichte und Rechtspflege damit seit jeher eine große Rolle. Der Chronist der Limburger Stadtgeschichte Tilemann Elhen von Wolfhagen (Stadtschreiber in Limburg von 1370 bis 1398) berichtet zu Recht stolz davon, wie schon im Jahre 1279 dieser Geist der Limburger Bürger siegreich aus einem harten Kampf hervorgegangen ist, den die Herren von der Limburg unter Gerlach I. durch ihre Eingriffe in die bürgerlichen Rechte und Freiheiten heraufbeschworen hatten. Belagert und bestürmt in der alten Lintburck, musste sich Gerlach I. in diesem Jahre mit den Bürgern der Stadt Limburg zu einem Vergleich bequemen, in welchem er selbst auf den Bezirk der Burg beschränkt und gegen den Bezug einer Abgabe zur Beschützung der Stadt verpflichtet wurde. Den Bürgern aber musste er den ungestörten Genuss ihrer persönlichen Freiheit, den ungehemmten Betrieb ihres Gewerbes und die unabhängige Gerichtsbarkeit ihres Schöffenstuhles aufs Neue zusichern. Damit bewahrte sich die Bürgerschaft die volle Gerichtsbarkeit der Schöffen; nur nach ihrem Urteil konnte der Herr der Burg das Urteil vollstrecken. Die zivile Gerichtsbarkeit lag völlig bei dem Stadtgericht. Die Schöffen waren die eigentlich zur Urteilsfindung Berufenen. Denn sie "schöpften" ihr Urteil aus dem Wissen um das altehrwürdige, meist mündlich überlieferte und zuweilen eben auch schriftlich in Weistümern bestätigte Recht.

  • Bridges of Misunderstanding William of Orange in Nazi Era Literature and Its Aftermath
    Bridges of Misunderstanding William of Orange in Nazi Era Literature and its Aftermath (1933-1953) Simon Richter (University of Pennsylvania) 1 Abstract: Because the 400th anniversary of the birth of William of Orange coincided with the beginning of the Nazi regime in 1933, a small surge of publications raised awareness in Germany of the history of the Dutch rebellion against Spain. For two decades, German writers across the ideological spectrum appropriated motifs from the life of William of Orange in order to represent and reflect on German-Netherlandic relations during the Nazi era. This article focuses in particular on the deployment of ‘Das Niederländische Gebet’ and the bridge motif, with an emphasis on works by Fritz von Unruh. Keywords: Willem van Oranje / William of Orange – Tachtigjarige Oorlog / Eighty Years War – Nederlands-Duitse betrekkingen / German-Netherlandic relations – brugmotief / bridge motif – Fritz von Unruh 1 The author is grateful to Prof. Dr. Uwe Puschner and his colleagues at the Friedrich Meinecke Institute of the Free University of Berlin and to the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation for making a research stay in Berlin possible. Journal of Dutch Literature, 8.1 (2017), 23-40 William of Orange in Nazi Era Literature and its Aftermath (1933-1953) 81 In Königsberg, in the week leading up to the turn of the twentieth century, the young Friedrich von Uhle—stand-in for the German exile author Fritz von Unruh (1885-1970) in his autobiographical novel Der Sohn des Generals [The General’s Son]—is feeling particularly steeped in Prussian history. This is not surprising. He is a cadet at the Prussian military academy in Plön, where he has the fraught honor of being one of the select companions of the Kaiser’s sons.

    Hessen Resources at the Immigrant Genealogical Library Introduction The Map Guide to German Parish Registers series has one volume on the Grandduchy of Hessen (Vol. 1), with a list of available town lineage books shown on pages 16-17. Separately, two more volumes (9 & 10) are devoted to the Prussian Province of Hessen-Nassau, split between the Regierungsbezirk Wiesbaden and the Regierungsbezirk Kassel -- but only six town lineage books for the total province were named as of 2005 (see pages 18-19 and page 167). But that’s not all! Our HES section also includes the Principality of Waldeck and Pyrmont, which is included in the Westphalia II book (Vol. 40) beginning at page 503.

    1 Charlotte Amalie von Nassau-Usingen (1680–1738): Regentin und Reformerin Verein für Geschichte und Landeskunde Bad Homburg v. d. Höhe, 29.09.2020 Gregor Maier Meine sehr geehrten Damen und Herren, Vielleicht fragen Sie sich, was ein Vortrag über eine Usinger Fürstin im Programm des Bad Homburger Geschichtsverein zu suchen hat. Nun – es geht heute nicht um Usinger Lokalgeschichte, sondern um die Landesgeschichte des heutigen Bundeslandes Hessen. In dieser Landesgeschichte ist Charlotte Amalie von Nassau-Usingen tatsächlich eine nicht unbedeutende Persönlichkeit. Wie Sie wissen, fußt unser heutiges Land Hessen im Wesentlichen auf drei alten Rheinbundstaaten: Hessen-Kassel, Hessen-Darmstadt und Nassau. – Der Vollständigkeit halber muss ich hier in Homburg natürlich auch die drei kleinen nennen – Hessen-Homburg, Frankfurt und Waldeck. Heute geht es um das wichtige nassauische Erbe; schließlich ist die alte nassauische Hauptstadt Wiesbaden heute unsere Landeshauptstadt. An der Wiege des modernen Mittelstaates Nassau aber steht niemand anderes als Charlotte Amalie. Sie ist eine bedeutende Figur der Landesgeschichte – aber zugleich eine geradezu sträflich vernachlässigte. Es gibt keine eigenständige biographische Untersuchung, und in den gängigen landesgeschichtlichen Darstellungen tritt sie meist in den Hintergrund. Exemplarisch für dieses Aufmerksamkeitsdefizit mag stehen, dass sie als einzige in der Reihe der nassau-usingischen Regenten nicht einmal einen eigenen Wikipedia-Artikel hat. Vor diesem Hintergrund kann auch ich Ihnen heute kein eigentliches Lebensbild, sondern nur einige biographische Bruchstücke, eine grobe Skizze dieser markanten Frauengestalt und ihrer 20-jährigen Regierungszeit bieten. Sie würde es aber zweifelsohne verdienen, als eigenständige, starke Persönlichkeit näher untersucht zu werden. Charlotte Amalie wurde am 13. Juni 1680 in Dillenburg geboren.
