Several sites on the Hohe Berg confirmed settlements in the Bronze and Hallstatt Ages .
middle Ages
In the year 876 Abtsbessingen was first mentioned in the form of Bezzinga in a tithe directory of the Fulda monastery . This is probably the origin of today's place name, which has existed since the 15th century. From the 13th to the 16th century, a noble family also carried the name of Abtsbessingen in various parts of the Schwarzburg rulership , especially in Berka . Among these namesake was Cunemund von Berka, 1424 Canon of the Augustinian Canons of Jechaburg.
In 979, when his daughter Sophia entered the Gandersheim monastery, Emperor Otto II handed over property in Abtsbessingen to it.
A property named in documents was later owned by the Counts of Kirchberg . In the middle of the 13th century that estate and the village became the property of the Counts of Hohnstein . Here Dietrich I. von Hohnstein transferred both to his daughter Sophie as a dowry , when Heinrich III. von Schwarzburg married. The former overlords, the abbot of Fulda and the margrave of Meissen , enfeoffed Sophie von Schwarzburg with the estate and village. After the early death of her husband, who remained childless, she passed this property on to her brother Heinrich I von Hohnstein. In 1339 he pledged Abtsbessingen and other places to his cousin, the Counts of Hohnstein and Lords of Wernigerode.
Modern times
In 1356 Abtsbessingen became Schwarzburgish. Heinrich XXVI. von Schwarzburg was enfeoffed with the village by the Fulda monastery in 1447. The estate remained in the ownership of the Schwarzburger until 1772. They enfeoffed the lords of Germar in 1442 , the knights of Ebeleben in 1489, the lords of Tachrodt in 1496, the lords of Tettenborn in 1567 and August I of Schwarzburg-Sondershausen in 1728 and 1741 .
In the Thirty Years War eight royal Swedish horsemen attacked the place in 1631. A year later the wife of the Swedish king, Maria Eleonora von Brandenburg , stayed for two nights in Abtsbessingen.
In 1635 five residents fell victim to the plague .
From 1739 onwards, at the instigation of August I. von Schwarzburg-Sondershausen, a high-prince porcelain factory in Abtsbessingen mainly produced tableware and molds ( Abtsbessinger faience ). Characteristic are strong, sharp fire colors on a yellow and green background. The brand symbol contains the fork from the coat of arms of the sovereignty of Schwarzburg-Sondershausen . In the manufactory were u. a. Joseph Philipp Dannhofer from Vienna, Johann Gottfried Kiel and Georg Friedrich Fuchs are active. It was officially produced until 1769. A little later, the main building is said to have been torn down and the timber used to build the domain in Sondershausen. In an outbuilding that still existed in 1854, faience was produced until 1790 .
Large fires repeatedly broke out in the 18th and early 19th centuries. In 1740 a rectory, the school, an estate and several farms, in 1758 a few houses and in 1791 a courtyard, presumably through arson, were destroyed. A fire that broke out in the parsonage's sheepfold in 1801 destroyed almost the entire village.
