Bergheim is a deserted village in the northeast of the district of Gombeth , a district of Borken in the Schwalm-Eder district in northern Hesse .

Although settled much earlier, as can be deduced from ceramic shards from the Carolingian era found on site , the small town was first mentioned in a document in 1061 when the abbot Widerad of the Fulda monastery received possession in Bergheim from the deceased noble Irmfrid. It was located not far north of the Schwalm at about 179 m above sea level about 600 m east-northeast of today's sports field on land that is now used for agriculture, southwest of the Dosenberg dump . Various and changing local nobility from the area and monasteries were landowners in the village or moved their tithe from there: the monasteries Fulda, Weißenstein , Haina , Breitenau and Spieskappel , the Deutschordensballei Hessen , the Counts of Reichenbach , the Counts of Schauenburg and Lords of Wallenstein as well as the lords of Uttershausen , von Lohre , von Wolfershausen and von Löwenstein-Schweinsberg .

When the place was abandoned is not known with certainty, but it may have been desolate as early as 1252. In 1294 the former ("quondam") settlement is mentioned in a document. The district seems to be some time to have existed as such until it was well integrated into the of Gombeth: even in 1314 gave the monastery Breitenau and 1322 the monastery Spieskappel received each a hoof to Bergheim.
