Biebergemünd

Biebergemünd sits in a forest-dominated landscape with rolling hills ranging from 140 to 250 meters in elevation, where forests cover approximately 70 percent of the territory. The environment is characterized by continuous woodlands interspersed with small valleys and clearings.

The settlement of Hegersfeld received its first written mention in 886, with Wirtheim and Kassel documented in a gift charter from Otto II in 976. Early settlement and development of the region followed the influence of Frankish rule.

The Gothic parish church of Bieber was rebuilt during the 17th and 18th centuries and displays a pulpit from 1797, connecting visually to a medieval chapel perched on Burgberg hill. These structures give the core village its character today.

The municipality operates a digital citizen information portal that allows online scheduling for visits to the registration office. It also maintains communication channels through social media for public inquiries.

Mining operations documented from 1494 onward extracted multiple metals including silver, copper, lead, and cobalt from underground deposits. This industrial activity transformed what was once a simple forester village into a working community.
