Middle Ages
The oldest mention of Bockenheim located in a deed in favor of the Lorsch Abbey, which is narrated in the Lorsch codex and is dated to the period 768-778. The village was reached from Frankfurt via Bockenheimer Landstrasse and the High Road / Via Regia, a medieval trans-European east-west connection. The course of this military and trade route coincides roughly with today Rödelheimer and Ginnheimer road and around the height of the Ginnheimer Diebsgrundweg. Since 9 Century included the surrounding forests for hunting ground Dreieich - a first of the royal hunting FIELD RESERVED. The hunting ground was talking to one of his 30 wild Bockenheim Huben. The (mostly) nordmainische part of this game was the ban and subsequent court official Bornheimer mountain. 1321 the parish of St. Bartholomew pin in Frankfurt is also responsible for Bockenheim. 1320 pledged King Louis IV the Bornheimer mountain to Ulrich II of Hanau. 1336 the emperor then allowed the City of Frankfurt, to redeem the Bornheimer mountain in his place of Hanau. Emperor Charles IV in 1351 but renewed the pledge shaft for Hanau. 1434 Count Reinhard II of Hanau by Emperor Sigismund was even invested with the Bornheimer mountain. In the division of the county of Hanau in 1458 came to the mountain of Bornheimer county of Hanau-Münzenberg. The contradictory behavior of the Empire led naturally to the controversy between Frankfurt and Hanau, especially so from Frankfurt Hanauer area "surrounded" saw. All attempts of Frankfurt, to prevent this have failed. Although the claims were on the Frankfurt nineteen villages of the Office confirmed after a process lasting over a hundred years of Supreme Court, however, had neither Frankfurt nor the realm of the power to enforce the judgment. For example, the city of Frankfurt in 1481 finally let one on a comparison: Hanau renounced all claims in favor of Frankfurt on the villages Bornheim, Hausen and Oberrad and the Office received Bornheimer mountain otherwise exclusively. Bockenheim was thus finally hanauisch. 1438 already acquired Bockenheim the castle law in Frankfurt, is the right to flee from danger behind its walls.
