## History

[edit]

### Antiquity

[edit]

The Roman town of Nida was situated in the south-western part of Heddernheim.

There have been three Mithraea (temples to Mithras) discovered at Heddernheim.[2] A hoard of silver votive plaques was discovered in the Roman settlement of Nida near Heddernheim in the nineteenth century, some of which are in the British Museum.[3] The offerings appear to have been deposited in a shrine dedicated to the Roman God of Jupiter Dolichenus.

### Middle Ages

[edit]

Heddernheim was first mentioned in documents in 801 AD as Phetterenheim.

### Modern history

[edit]

In Heddernheim there has been plants for metalworking from the midth 19th century to the 1970s, including a huge plant of Vereinigte Deutsche Metallwerke. Meanwhile a big housing estate was built, named Nordweststadt, including a shopping center called Nordwestzentrum, and Mertonviertel.

During World War II, in 1942, a forced labour camp was established in the district by the Nazis.[4] Due to American advance, in 1945, it was dissolved and its prisoners were deported to the Buchenwald concentration camp.[4]
