Beltershausen is a former, desolate village in the Altendorf district, about 1 km south of the Altendorf part of the city of Naumburg in the northern Hessian district of Kassel .

location

The settlement was in a narrow bend in the river in the Elbe valley , a few hundred meters west of today's state road L 3214, on an elongated crest on the east bank of the stream before it flows southeast along the northeast flank of the Heiligenberg . The Hardtkopf rises to the north .

About 300 m to the northwest, on the opposite bank, was the only mentioned in 1451 and that year by Reinhard von Dalwigk and Friedrich III. Beltershausen Castle destroyed by Hertingshausen .

history

The small settlement (also officially mentioned as "Beldericheshusen", "Belderikeshusen", "Beldericeshusen", "Beldirshusen" or "Beldershusen") is first attested in 1150. In 1243, Tammo von Beltershausen transferred three farms and a mill in Beltershausen to the Berich monastery to support his daughter. In 1310 the Petersstift Fritzlar received eight shillings of income from one hoof in "Beldericheshusen".

The village was destroyed in 1402, probably in the course of the Braunschweig and Hesse campaigns of revenge against the murderers of Duke Friedrich of Braunschweig and Lüneburg and their alleged backers - in this case against Friedrich III. von Hertingshausen , who owned the village at that time, and its liege lord, Archbishop Johann II of Mainz . In the year 1440 there is again talk of the village "Beldershusen" in a wisdom , and also in 1534 there are reports of a village and inhabitants. In 1654 the Naumburger Salbuch only speaks of the field mark "Bellershausen", and it is therefore assumed that the village was destroyed or abandoned during the Thirty Years' War .

Church history

The village church stood on the highest point of the hilltop, on the northern edge of the village. A pleban is recorded in 1150, 1266, 1270 and 1285. The church is still in evidence in 1440 and is said to have been in use in 1462. She belonged to the dean's office in Bergheim . The patronage was at least in the period 1467 to 1506 the monastery Merxhausen ; in 1506 the parish was abolished.

Ownership

The village belonged to the Mainz office and court of Naumburg. Tammo von Beltershausen, who also owned Mandern in the Edertal , is known to be a local aristocrat from 1235 to 1255 ; his ancestors may have been the founders of the place. From the 13th to the 16th century the village was part of the Elber Mark , a market cooperative under the sovereignty of the St. Alban Abbey in Mainz , which the Lords of Elben appointed as bailiffs . The village was given to Friedrich von Hertingshausen in 1384 and to his grandson Friedrich III in 1439. von Hertingshausen pledged, and the lords of Hertingshausen still owned it in 1534, when the village was last mentioned as such.
