Bensen was a village settlement in today's district of Istha , a district of Wolfhagen in northern Hesse Kassel district .

The place was located about 1.5 km south-southwest of Istha and 2.5 km east of Bründersen at 347  m altitude in the middle of today's fields and a wind park , probably about 500 m west of the source of the mill water . There today who remember Flurnamen "About the Benze" and "In the Benze" to the lost village. The Nieheim desert lies around 500 m to the west .

Almost nothing is known about the history of the place mentioned for the first time as "Benessen" and "villa" in 1253, except that Hasungen Monastery at that time had property there and the Fritzlarer St. Petri-Stift in the same year and also in 1310 had tithe income there. The next mention takes place in the year 1402, in connection with a lawsuit brought by the Electorate Mainz city ​​of Fritzlar against the Landgraviate of Hesse , whereby the place "Bensheim" is named and described as desolate .
