Arzell is a district of the market town of Eiterfeld in the eastern Hessian district of Fulda .

Geographical location

Arzell lies west of the core town of Eiterfeld in the Rhön . To the north is the Reckrod district , Buchenau to the north-west and Körnbach and Leimbach to the south. The closest town is Hünfeld in the south, 10 km away. The place extends over the slopes of the two mountains Schoders and Hisselsberg as well as over the valley in between, in which the Eitra flows towards Buchenau. As a result, several mills were built on the Eitra in the last few centuries, one in the village and two outside with the cherry and house mill . However, today all mills are out of order, although the buildings are still there. Furthermore, in the center of the village, the Wölf and the Schlierbach flow into the aforementioned stream.

history

Arzell was first mentioned in a document in 1015, other sources even go back to the year 855.

In the Turkish tax register of the prince abbey of Fulda from 1605 the place is mentioned as part of the Eiterfeld office under the name Artzell with 24 families.

The place was incorporated on February 1, 1971 as a previously independent municipality in the municipality of Eiterfeld.

Culture and sights

Townscape

Franz Xaver Church

The church, built in 1931/32 and consecrated to St. Francis Xavier , which was built from sandstone from a local quarry and has a striking octagonal floor plan, is characteristic of the townscape . Until then, there was a simple chapel in its place, which was probably built around 1500. For the church, the Otto bell foundry from Hemelingen / Bremen supplied four bronze bells with the strike tone series e - g - a - c and a total weight of 2,900 kg.

In addition, there is the Panama kindergarten , which is attended by children from the local area as well as from the surrounding villages.
