Hundertmorgen, Rural settlement in Reinheim, Germany.
Hundertmorgen is a rural settlement in Reinheim featuring approximately a dozen buildings arranged in three farmstead clusters along the east side of the main road. The structures follow the typical pattern of traditional agricultural communities in the region.
The settlement emerged after the Thirty Years' War and plague outbreaks in South Hesse, when abandoned fields became available for new development. This recovery period reshaped the region's landscape and communities.
The name reflects an old measurement of land area tied to farming traditions in the region. Buildings today still follow the traditional layout pattern of rural farmstead communities.
The location sits on a ridge between two river valleys and is easily accessible via the main road. Best explored on foot as it is a small private settlement where peaceful wandering reveals the layout and character.
A cast iron hand pump from 1900 stands as a monument marking the former water supply system of the settlement. The terrain sits on a watershed between two river valleys with distinctive red Zechstein dolomite geological formations.
