History

Prehistory

The founder of Heddernheimer local research, Georg Wolff, after a small road in Heddernheim is named, has researched in addition to his studies of Roman history and the prehistoric period. Numerous tool finds from the early Stone Age (Neolithic) show that the settlement history of Heddernheim least until the time of the 4000 and 6000 years back enough. On the fertile loess soil of Nidda slope, the fanned during the ice ages of the North over the Taunus ridge across been, was built a single population, the arable plains. Finds from this band ceramic culture are still discovered after plowing the fields. In the district Praunheim, near the present-day Northwest Hospital, before the Second World War a large Neolithic village was excavated, it was at least 500 meters long and 200 meters wide. When construction on Wenzelweg 8 was first time in 1993 during a colonization Latène proven 1995 In Wingerten 4 were some pieces salvaged from the Hallstatt period. 

Roman
Even in Roman times the area of Heddernheim because of its proximity to the Nidda and the convenient location between Mainz and the Wetterau was settled. Archaeological evidence of, among other things are usually at least ten only briefly used military camps from the period around the 75th [14] Shortly thereafter, also in the reign of Emperor Vespasian (69-79), a cavalry unit built a castle before its fortifications soon a vast warehouse village came. Based on the river was named the new location of the auxiliary troops name Nida. The village grew into a civil settlement (Munizipalstadt), and has been around for the withdrawal of troops to the limit 110 AD capital of Civitas Taunensium. The street in the Roman city / highway still follows essentially the course of a paved, dead-straight military road from the Roman period, which ran from Mainz to the west gate of the fort. The height of the houses in the Roman town of 145 to 165, are only a few meters from pavement removed, paving stones and basement survived from this period. The Roman period lasted until 260, when the Romans were displaced by the Germans (Alemanni). The walls of the Roman ruins were still in the 15th Century, seen from afar, when they were re-used as building material in Heddernheim and Praunheim. The site of the former Roman settlement remained except the nettle bush road to the building of the Roman city largely unsettled. The name of the street in the heath field was once for the entire agricultural area farmed.

Middle Ages
The first mention of the place as Phetterenheim in the early 9th Followed in the 12th century Century another: 1132 Archbishop Adalbert of Mainz bought from the open Gottfried vom Bruch and his son, the investiture of the Church in Praunheim with associated tithe "Hetdernheim, Urselo, Husun​​" (Heddernheim, Niederursel and sturgeon); church and fiscally belonged Heddernheim so then to Praunheim. Rights and ownership gave the Archbishop of Mainz cathedral chapter, which at the same time acquired jurisdiction over Heddernheim. Later, the place name in front of the home spellings Heider, Hödernheim, Hedernem, Hettersheim, Hetternheim. With the 1132 acquired rights enfeoffed the Mainz Cathedral Chapter Messrs. von Praunheim, a in the 12th and 13 Century influential knights who stood as Reichsministeriale at the top of the Frankfurt royal palace and were among the first documented tangible Frankfurt imperial mayor. One of them, knights tungsten was first documented in 1189, he was chairman of the court. Headquarters of the Lords of the Velcro was Praunheim castle in Praunheim. Many members of this family were members of the Mainz cathedral chapter or clergy were at the other churches in Mainz. The heirs of the Lords of Praunheim remained until the abolition of ecclesiastical property in the early 19th Century in the possession of the fief Heddernheim.

Early Modern Times
From a document from the year 1278 shows that Heddernheim belonged to the county Eppstein: The owner of the village so was the dean of Mainz, who had awarded the village as a fief; rulers were the Earls of Eppstein, in the 13th Century also introduced several archbishops of Mainz. This dual power led to such a document from the year 1508 shows that it in Heddernheim next to the village court of the Lords of Praunheim was the bailiwick of Eppsteiner court bailiffs. One consequence of belonging to the Count of Eppstein was that in Heddernheim and also belonged to neighboring villages Eppstein Weißkirchen and Oberursel in the first half of the 16th Century the Reformation was introduced in the sense of Martin Luther. Praunheim, with the Heddernheim was due to the fief of the lords of Praunheim closely possessed at that time, two sovereigns: the Counts of Solms and the Counts of Hanau: Count Friedrich Magnus of Solms led Praunheim 1544 in the Reformation. Middle of the 16th Century, died from the house Eppstein, making 1581 the county passed to the Catholic Archbishopric of Mainz. Archbishop of Mainz tried in the following years, in his newly acquired possessions to reintroduce the Catholic rite, giving him 17th in the first decade of the Century in white churches and Oberursel succeeded. All other places of the county were Eppstein of the counter-Reformation forced back to the Catholic confession, with one exception: Heddernheim. That is odd, because not only the Mainz ruler was Catholic, but also the masters of Riedt, which Lehnsrechte had fallen to the 1618th "The reason is not known, but is related to the old function of Praunheimer Mother Church". Apparently accepted the local Catholic authorities that Heddernheim which decreed although since 1512 a small chapel, but no independent parish and its Children were taught in Lutheran Praunheim religious, church belonged to Praunheim and thus the Lutheran Confessions. The stone chapel was dedicated to St. Michael, and was in the area of ​​today's public park between the road and the Old Heddernheim Nidda. To Michael's chapel, the cemetery was for Catholics Heddernheims; Messrs. von Praunheim were buried in the chapel, the Lutherans in Praunheim. Yet for 1721 is known by a witness statement that the cemetery was a graveyard actually: A squire of Merlau time he had the churchyard door can bricked after the Niedwiesen because pigs had entered through that door into the churchyard, and the bones of the dead had been excavated. 

Since the 1990s, on the northwestern edge of Heddernheim created further large housing developments on the former, elaborately renovated ground VDM-terrain (Mertonviertel and Riedwiese). There is near the metro station right on Zeilweg Urselbach the interesting, planned by Friedensreich Hundertwasser municipal daycare (Hundertwasser daycare). Meanwhile, in these settlements then the hillside began the construction of the residential area Riedberg so Heddernheim will form in a few years, even with the more distant Kalbach a cohesive neighborhood.
