History of the Bültzingslöwen at Haynrode

Between 1400 and 1430 the Bültzingslöwen acquired three estates in Haynrode owned by the noble families von Asla and von Osterode and held the above-mentioned possessions in the surrounding settlements. They converted the courtyards in Haynrode into comfortable knight seats . Hermann (IX) took over the management of the Oberhof in the western part of the village around 1409, Siegfried (IX) around 1411 of the middle courtyard and the back courtyard, which is unknown in its location.

In the years 1459 and 1463 the Archbishop of Mainz Adolf II of Nassau brought Siegfried the Elder. J. (X) from the middle / back yard trunk (also called Sifert in a document ) came into possession of a quarter pledge at Burg Bischofstein , where he acted as a castle man. This pledge still existed in 1574. In addition, Sifert held the Vogtsamt von Scharfenstein together with the Lords of Wintzingerode and von Enzenberg as early as 1448 (until 1520) , and in 1469 a right man fief with a castle fief and various other properties .

At that time, the Eichsfeld had been ruled for more than 300 years by the Counts of Hohnstein as fiefs of the Staufers . For their part, the 12th generation of the Bültzingslöwen received on May 1, 1515, from the heavily indebted Count Volkmar Wolf von Hohnstein from the Lohra-Klettenberg line based at Lohra Castle, the legal enfeoffment of the villages and estates that had already been taken over at the end of the 14th century and lands of the community and manor district of Haynrode with all uses, together with court and law over neck and hand, uppermost and lower. This also included the church patronage , which they kept for more than 250 years. Haynrode was bounded in the south by the Royal Forest of Harburg, in the east by the municipal districts of Buhla and Wallrode (Grafschaft Hohnstein), in the north by the districts of Neustadt, Bischofferode and Holungen (Elector of Mainz) and in the northwest by the municipal district of Kaltohmfeld and the estate districts of Adelsborn and Bodenstein (Wintzingerode).

The central backyard was separated in 1515: Rudolf d. Ä. (XII), captain of Duderstadt and Mühlhausen and bailiff in Bischofstein, led the Haynröder Mittelhof and his brother Heinrich the Elder. J. (XII), Gräflich Hohnsteinischer Marshal at Lohra Castle, the backyard. At that time, the Bültzingslöwen were pawns of the Harburg-Worbis office, a quarter of the Bischofstein office (both until 1574) and the Greifenstein office , which was redeemed in 1539 by Elector Albrecht with 600 gold guilders. The Hasenburg was also a feudal piece of the Bültzings lions in 1515 with all accessories and justice , and Bischhagen , Lichtenhagen , Schönau and Glasehausen were feudal and court villages of the Bültzings lions during the 16th to 19th centuries.

As early as 1515, a decade-long dispute broke out between the landlords of the Oberhof and the patron saints of Hohnstein over the ownership of the Salmerode settlement in the north of the district. Salmerode finally went up in the 16th century in the district of Haynrode. It could not be clarified whether this settlement , later referred to as desert , died out during a plague epidemic. For more than 60 years (1544–1610), the backyard line fought with those of Wintzingerode and their Hohnstein lords over the supposedly ancestral forest rights in the Ohm Mountains.

The Haynrode lords had over their farmers, backsettlers and citizens the interest and feudal jurisdiction. Hereditary interest on the property, service fees and regular taxes in kind had to be paid. In addition, there were considerable labor services that had to be performed according to the size of the property in question. Land, forest and construction work had to be carried out, the fields of their liege lords to be tilled, the harvest to be brought in, wood to be felled, and carting, hunting and manual services to be performed. In the course of the peasant uprising in the Peasants' War on May 15, 1525, the manor of the von Bültzingslöwen, the Harburg, was devastated and plundered by rebellious Mühlhausen farmers. The knight seats of the von Bültzingslöwen in Heygenrode are also robbed . After the peace agreement, the city of Mühlhausen compensated the badly damaged Eichsfeld nobles . The Bültzingslöwen received 1,200 guilders. The nobility acted relentlessly against the rebels and had the ringleaders executed. The Bültzingslöwen'sche dish in Worbis left the tall Jakoff hanging. Compulsory labor and taxes were further increased in 1561.

After the devastation of their ancestral home, the Bültzingslöwen moved to Haynrode under the brothers Rudolph (XII) and Heinrich (XII). The Harburg was released as a quarry and entire structural elements were used in the construction of the Haynröder Mittelhof, the patronage church of St. Anna and the Junkerhof in Worbis: the manor was built on the Mittelhof from 1525 to around 1535, a mighty nave under the master builder Hans Kilian from Sollstedt , which Residential, administrative and patrimonial building known today as the stone house . After the fire in 1847, the extinction of the Mittelhof line and the almost complete destruction of the building in 1891, it served as a tithe store. The originally three-storey limestone building, whose vaulted structure at ground level and the first floor above it with its massive walls had been preserved, were repaired and covered. The second floor and the medieval stepped gables on both sides had collapsed or were demolished. On the west side of the building, a stone extension led to the upper floors. Late Gothic portals and windows are still worth seeing here.

The structure of the central courtyard with the buildings around a central square can still be recognized today. In addition to the stone house, the manor house, the well-preserved residential and administrative building of the former landlord and several large barns and various farm buildings are located here. This estate is an impressive testimony to the great local and family history of the Bültzing lions in Haynrode.

During the construction of the manor house, the village church of St. Anna was built west of the central courtyard under the patronage of the Bültzings lions. Various components originate " possibly from the castle-palas of an episcopal collegiate chapel on the Harburg ", to which the lancet arch entrance portal of the church can also be assigned. The large church bell with an inscription and the year 1502 also comes from the great time on Harburg. In the church there is a knight epitaph with a coat of arms and the year 1526. The hereditary burial place of the patronage family von Bültzingslöwen was laid out between the church and the school, which no longer exists today. In the middle of the 16th century the Bültzingslöwen built the Junkerhof in Worbis on the site of the castle . The multi-storey residential and court house was inhabited and managed by 3 generations of the noble family from Hayno. Until 1624 the Harburg court, which was occupied by appointed judges, was located in the building, which was later named the Rent Office .

In 1532 Siegfried (VII) from Oberhof was Mainz bailiff of the Eichsfeld, in 1537 city governor in Mühlhausen, his brother Heinrich, marshal to Count Ernst von Hohnstein . Archbishop Albrecht redeemed the first half of the fiefdom at Burg Bischofstein with 500 gold guilders from the Bültzingslöwen in 1533. A loan deed from Count Ernst von Hohnstein dated October 28, 1543, in turn, contains the liens granted as early as 1515. This made Haynrode a Hohnsteiner and thus a Lutheran exclave in the surrounding Kurmainzer Eichsfeld. Towards the end of the construction of the manor in Haynrode, the Reformation movement reached the Eichsfeld region. As early as 1499, the nobility had preferred to send their offspring to the University of Erfurt, where the anti-church spirit prevailed. Siegfried von Bültzingslöwen (XII) was also under him. By the local nobility Christoph turned out to be the first in 1525 by the Hagen castle Deuna and 1531. Conrad von Hanstein the Reformation. The Bültzing lions were also constantly active in the spread of the Reformation . They joined the new teaching and made every effort to spread it . In 1546 most of the villages of the Haynröder Bültzingslöwen and their district of Harburg-Worbis were Lutheran. In particular, the progenitor of the backyard, Heinrich (XII), and Philipp from the Mittelhof line committed to the new faith. It was also said that the senior magistrate of Eichsfeld, Siegfried (XII) vom Oberhof, tolerated Lutheran religious practice in 1548. After the Passau Treaty was rejected , the von Bültzingslöwen took part in the Second Margrave War . On July 9, 1553 , the progenitor of the Mittelhof tribe, Rudolf (XII) and his sons Rudolph and Hermann , fell on the side of Albrecht II. Alcibiades (Brandenburg-Kulmbach) in the last and bloodiest battle of this conflict, the Battle of Sievershausen . The replacement of Catholic priests by Protestant clergymen developed as a point of contention between Kurmainz and the Eichsfeld nobility. Some of them have been appointed by the nobility for a long time in 1549 without the participation of the Kurmainzer commissioner and enfeoffed with pastoral positions. In the court and patronage villages of the Bültzingslöwen, this affected not only Haynrode but also other municipalities in the Harburg-Worbis office, as well as Gernrode , Breitenbach , Niederorschel , Glasehausen , Bischhagen and Schönau . In the Walkenried monastery on March 27, 1556, the Counts of Hohnstein decided in a meeting of the knights, the pastors and the church servants to hold firm to the Augsburg creed. When in the Bleicheröder Treaty of 1573, in which Count Volkmar Wolf von Hohnstein ceded his rights to the neighboring Bodenstein to Mainz, Elector Daniel granted the Hohnsteiners the quiet possession of their traditional rights to Hainrode, regardless of different boundary errors.

The visitation by Elector Daniel in June 1574 marked the beginning of the Counter Reformation for Eichsfeld . The adherence of the Eichsfeld nobility to the new faith prompted the elector not only to take action against the Wintzingeröder on the Bodenstein, but also against the Bültzing lions: on June 25, 1574, the 194-year pledge of the Bültzing lions was redeemed at the Harburg-Worbis office the court in the city of Worbis and its large judicial district, as well as the second half at Bischofstein. The elector thus eliminated the almost unlimited power of the von Bültzings lions in this area, the continuation of which would have made the re-Catholicization of the places belonging to the same area much more difficult . The Bültzings lions used a compensation of around 15,000 thalers for the lost benefices to expand their farms in Haynrode.

With the death of the childless Count Ernst VII von Hohnstein in 1593, the Haynröder Bültzingslöwen also lost the liens on the goods and trees on and around the Ohmberg, which they almost had before, tied to the fate of their Hohnstein feudal lords and their brotherly brothers, Counts von Schwarzburg-Sondershausen 400 years ago from the Hohnsteiners. After changing the pledge several times, the Bültzingslöwen finally got it back in 1632 from the Schwarzburg-Sondershausen house under Christian Günther I, with all the rights, uses and courts previously due .

At the beginning of the 17th century (1610), Caspar von Bültzingslöwen (XIV), who came from the central courtyard, built the lower courtyard. The manor that was built here is hardly recognizable today. The site is built over by GRIWE Werkzeug Produktions GmbH with extensive factory buildings, the manor castle from 1812 is used - no longer recognizable as such - for company administration. Parts of the palace park are still available and accessible.

Although the patronage of some aristocrats was withdrawn due to illegal arrogance or repeated abuse , the Bültzingslöwen were still among the patron saints of Haynrode, Gernrode and Breitenbach at that time, whereas their occupation rights in Niederorschel were withdrawn after 1549.

The Thirty Years' War brought great devastation, looting and contributions to the troops on both sides, who passed through or took quarters several times, for the villages in the Harburg-Worbis office. While all neighboring villages were severely affected by disaster several times, Haynrode is only mentioned once because of a billeting. The reason for this is possibly that the Bültzing lions had letters of protection issued several times for themselves and their subjects in court. The only Bültzing lion that is mentioned by name in the entire war is Philipp von Bültzingslöwen (XIV) from the Mittelhof, who was active in protecting Duderstadt. On February 22nd, 1628, when the city paid the oath of homage to Elector Georg Friedrich von Greiffenclau , he resigned his office because he did not want to change his Lutheran faith .

During the Seven Years' War nine members of the family served in Royal Prussian and Princely Schwarzburg services. Otto Wilhelm (XVIII) died near Collin in 1757 . The population of the Worbis office suffered again from troops passing through and taking quarters, contributions and looting by French (1757/58), imperial (1758), Brunswick (1759), Prussian (1760/61), again French (1760/1761), Hessian ( 1762/63) and again Prussian (1763) contingents. After the famine in 1767, typhus broke out in 1771.

In the course of the Napoleonic Wars , on January 1, 1808, the repeal of the feudal constitution and patrimonial jurisdiction began. Under the subsequent Prussian rule, Haynrode was released from the pledge of the Counts of Schwarzburg – Sondershausen on June 15, 1816 and incorporated into the Prussian Eichsfeldkreis Worbis. Without exception, the lords of the court entered the Royal Prussian military service as high-ranking officers: The 18th generation is the first entry of a royal Prussian officer from the Unterhof line. On September 15, 1835, the district deputy and Schwarzenburg government councilor a. D. Karl Eduard Levin von Bültzingslöwen (XIX) appointed Royal Prussian District Administrator of the Worbis district. On May 4, 1836, he moved the district office from Großbodungen to the palace on Haynröder Unterhof. Even after his death, the office remained in Haynrode until 1846.

After the male line of the Bültzingslöwen zu Haynrode had expired, Maria Theresia von Bültzingslöwen (XXI) from the backyard line married the Saxon major Otto von Klüchtzner on July 14, 1874 . The baron resided in the Haynröder castle in the Unterhof and stayed with his wife in the Marienthal hunting lodge. Son Wilko von Klüchtzner , born on October 14, 1877 in Haynrode, acted as the representative of the owners of the manor that remained with the Unterhof from 1898. He left Haynrode after the Russian occupation forces entered 1945 and died on January 1, 1956 in Bad Oeynhausen.

Genealogy of the Bültzingslöwen at Haynrode

Coat of arms of the von Bültzingslöwen zu Haynrode

The following summarized genealogical overview of the Eichsfeld tribe and the Haynröder tribe lines results from the family table of the gentlemen of Bültzingslöwen , which was developed on behalf of the senior physician Curt von Bültzingslöwen .

The Thuringian noble family von Bültzingslöwen appears in the Ohmberg-Harburg family tree in Generation I with Hermann (I) von Bültzingslöwen (* around 1170). As an outstanding representative of the founding fathers of than the true lord of Harburg captured Siegfried (IV), (* 1250), the father of Ohmberg - Harburg is to be designated strain. This tribe has existed for about 230 years and eight generations up to the takeover or foundation of the first farms in Haynrode.

Herman (IX) and Siegfried (IX) von Bültzingslöwen, both born around 1400, are considered the founding fathers of the actual Haynröder tribes: The Oberhof tribe I with progenitor Hermann (IX) consists of eight generations up to around 1700, and continues in the 2nd Branch from the Hinterhöfer line with Christian Wilhelm (* 1688) and expires after a total of ten Haynröder generations and 370 years in Generation XIX with Johann Philipp Rudolf von Bültzingslöwen (* 1757, † around 1800). Within the Oberhof tribe there are three generations (XII – XV) in the city of Worbis and Kirchworbis, who lived on the Bültzingslöwen'schen Junkerhof from 1538 onwards.

In the Mittelhof-Hinterhof-Stamm-II with progenitor Siegfried (IX) a separate genealogical development takes place after four generations in two yard lines: The Mittelhöfer line is founded at the beginning of the 16th century by Rudolf (XII, * around 1495). From this line, the 1st Mittelhöfer Branch developed under Philipp (* 1579) in Generation XIV and two branches in Generation XVIII: The 1st branch with progenitor Eggert Ludwig Friedrich (* 1732) dies with August Ludwig (* 1806, † 1854) ) in Generation XX in Haynrode. Under the progenitor Heinrich Leopold (* 1752), a second branch is shown in Generation XVIII, which expired in Generation XX with Leopold Ernst (* 1818, † 1820) in the Haynröder male line. The Mittelhöfer tribe therefore existed in Haynrode for 464 years over 11 generations.

The Hinterhöfer line is led by Heinrich (* 1503) in generation XII according to the common stock in Mittelhof-Hinterhof-Stamm-II and is continued in generation XVII in the 1st branch with Johann Wilhelm (* 1685). With Ludolph Wilhelm Friedrich August (* 1805, † 1869), this branch of the Hinterhöfer line dies out in Generation XX in Haynrode. After about 479 years and 11 generations, the Hinterhöfer is considered to be the longest Haynröder line of the von Bültzingslöwen. As a result of the marriage of Maria Theresia von Bültzingslöwen (* 1852) from Generation XXI with Otto von Klüchtzner, the line in Haynrode was continued by the von Klüchtzner family until the end of the war in 1945.

The Unterhöfer line originates in the 2nd Mittelhöfer branch of the XIV generation and, together with its progenitor Caspar von Bültzingslöwen (* 1581), represents the 1st Unterhof line , which lasted for five generations until Anton Günther Friedrich (generation XVIII, † 1783) in Haynrode Has. The progenitor of the 2nd Unterhof line is Johann Levin Friedrich (Generation XVII, * 1757) from the Mittelhof. The last representative of the Unterhöfer line is Karl Eduard Levin von Bültzingslöwen († 1843) from Generation XIX. With 262 years in five generations, this represents the shortest line of the Haynröder Bültzingslöwen.

Manor in Haynrode

The lords of Bültzingslöwen built several estates on the property they had acquired in the 15th century, the later the upper courtyard, the middle courtyard, the back courtyard and the lower courtyard. In 1515 the property was enfeoffed by the Counts of Hohnstein with all property, the village, the jurisdiction and the patronage rights of the church. In the middle of the 19th century, all goods were combined into one property.

Oberhof

The Oberhof was located in the center of the village northeast of the church. Hermann von Bültzingslöwen acquired it in 1409, at the beginning of the 16th century it was owned by Siegfrid VII, who became bailiff on the Rusteberg in 1532. The estate burned down in the 18th century and a farm was later built on the site.

Unterhof

At the east end of the village was the manor of the Unterhof, also called the castle. At the beginning of the 19th century, the manor was redesigned to resemble a castle and a large park with a pond was completed. From 1834 to 1845 Karl von Bültzingslöwen was the district administrator of the Worbis district , and the estate also served as the district administration office. The Unterhof was the residence of the Klüchtzner family until 1945. In 1945 all parts of the estate were expropriated, after which a school was set up in Unterhof. Later, a Nordhausen industrial company settled there; today it is the seat of a car telephony supplier.

Central courtyard and backyard

Siegfried acquired the area on the southern edge of the village in 1411 and Rudolf and Heinrich von Bültzingslöwen built the Stone House after 1525, after the nearby Harburg was destroyed as the headquarters during the Peasants' War. The Harburg was finally demolished and large parts of the building material were used to build the stone house and the church. Some door and window arches from the late Gothic period still exist today, and the year 1535 is carved on a stone on the outer wall. The massive building was the residence and administrative seat of the noble family. The massive building was destroyed several times by fires and rebuilt over the centuries, but the original size can only be guessed at. After 1945 the stone house was used as an office and warehouse. At the moment, maintenance and security measures are being carried out on the building in order to ensure permanent preservation. Not far from the "stone house" there is a former estate manager's house, some farm buildings and small remains of the manor wall.
