Allendorf is located northwest of the Knüllgebirge in the Landsburger Grund , on a hill just under 4.5 km north-northeast of the center of Treysa , the capital of Schwalmstadt. To the north of the village, directly east of the Schwalm , beyond the confluence of the Gers and Schwalm, is the basalt cone Gerstenberg , on which the Landsburg stood.

history

church

The place was first mentioned in a document in 1197. On the nearby Gerstenberg, Count Johann I von Ziegenhain built a fortress , the Landsburg, in 1343 . It served as protection against Jesberg Castle in Mainz . The Gerstenberg was already settled in the Celtic times when there was a refuge there .

The Landsburg and Allendorf changed hands several times after 1450, the end of the County of Ziegenhain , before they finally became part of the Landgraviate of Hesse again in 1544 . However, after disputes, the castle fell into disrepair in the same century. In the Thirty Years War , Allendorf was devastated, as was the neighboring village of Michelsberg .

On December 31, 1971, the place was incorporated into the city of Schwalmstadt as part of the Hessian regional reform .
