location

history

Amerungen was first mentioned in writing in 1179. The previous readings on ceramics end in the 13th century.

Various landlords owned property there. The Busdorfstift , the Hardehausen Monastery , the Lords of Asseburg , the Lords of Brakel and the Lords of Calenberg owned property here, sometimes at different times. Ultimately, Dalheim Monastery acquired most of the deserted Amerungen .

Around 1430 the borders of the desert Amerungen were determined again during a border inspection with old people.

From Amerungen nor the corridor designation testify Amerunger field and Amerunger chapel .

Free chair

In Amerungen there was a free chair of the free court of the Lords of Calenberg in Soratfeld , which they had as a fiefdom from the Counts of Waldeck . It is assumed that the free chair was with the Lindenhoff named in the sources .

church

A parish church is said to have stood in Amerungen . In 1430 it was mentioned for the last time as existing, in 1502 it no longer existed.

The St. Anne's Chapel , also known as the Amerung Chapel , is said to have been built in its place. This fell into disrepair, so that it had to be rebuilt in 1669 by Prince-Bishop Ferdinand von Fürstenberg . Once on Ann's Day , today on the first Sunday in August, it is the destination of processions every year.

Often, today in a corridor in the church courts in the deserted village Sewardissen discovered before 1870 church, the Church Amerunger suspected. However, the location of Amerungen from the confluence of the Holtheimer Bach and Altenau to the St. Anne's Chapel , as well as the location of Sewardissen north of the Sassenberg , is certainly attested. In addition , burials were found at the Amerungen Chapel , which is on the edge of Amerungen in the direction of Sewardissen , as can be expected in parish churches , while skeletal remains are missing in Sewardissen .
