Bezelsrode

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The deserted village Bezelsrode or Betzelsrode is located in the district of the municipality Anrode in Unstrut-Hainich-Kreis in Thuringia .

location

The place was about three kilometers north-northwest of Bickenriede and three kilometers southeast of Zella in southern Eichsfeld . The location and the district are on the wooded ridge of the Hollau up to Appenthal at an altitude of approx. 400 m (see heads). On the plateau there is said to have been a small fortified complex called a Herrenburg or a waiting room , the Hohe Lobe , and not far to the southeast, another deserted area called Sehausen .

History of the settlement

The first known written mention of the place took place in 1230, when Count Ernst von Velsecke sold the land in Bezilsrode to the Zella monastery . At that time Betzelsrode belonged to the castle district Velsecke / Gleichenstein . In 1301, the Zella monastery sold 16 Hufen land in campetis Bezilsrode to the neighboring Anrode monastery to the south . In 1319 several noble gentlemen (the brothers Otto and Heinrich von Worbis , Heinrich von Tastungen , the brothers Dietrich and Lambert von Westhausen and Dietrich Knorre ) waived their claims in curia dicta Bezzelsrode in favor of the Anrode monastery.

The place was probably abandoned in the 14th century after all the land and all farms had passed into the possession of the Anrode monastery. In the 16th century a dairy farm is said to have existed there, which was destroyed in the Peasants' War in 1525. In 1597 the residents of Bickenriede, who farmed 43 Hufen zu Bezelrode, demand a reduction in interest from the Bickenriede monastery. In 1765 the monastery was rebuilt as Vorwerk Bezelrode or Neuhaus .

In 1810 the nunnery was closed in the course of secularization . As early as 1811, the monastery and all the lands in Bezelsrode were sold to Johann Franz Justus von Wedemeyer and belonged to the Wiersdorf family from 1886 to 1927. The farm later served as a forester's house and was named "New House". After 1945 the buildings were abandoned and slowly deteriorated or usable building materials were removed by the surrounding residents. Today only a few structural remains, some old fruit trees and a 100-year-old Swedish whitebeam remind of the former farm.
