geography

The village of Binsförth is located between Beiseförth and Neumorschen near the B 83, about 7 km south of Melsungen an der Fulda.

history

Binsförth was first mentioned in 1263 as "Binsfurte". At that time there was a small castle here to protect a Fulda ford. At the same time a pastor is named in Binsförth. In 1270 the place appears as "Binsforte", but also as "Binnisforte". The name comes from the ford at this point across the Fulda.

The church in Binsförth was first mentioned in 1554, but could have been built as early as the end of the 14th century.

Jewish Cemetery

About 800 m southwest of the village, on the northern slope of the Wichter Höhe, is the Jewish cemetery of the former Jewish community of Beiseförth, which was destroyed during the Nazi era . It is the oldest Jewish cemetery in North Hesse. The site was donated in the middle of the 17th century by the lords of Baumbach , local manor owners , to the Jewish community of Beiseförth, which also included the Jewish residents of Binsförth, Malsfeld , Neumorschen and Rengshausen . A total of 256 tombstones ( Mazewot ) from the established occupation time from 1694 to 1937 are still available today.

A few Jewish families lived in Binsförth itself from at least 1835 and until 1932/33. In 1861 there were 14 Jewish residents, in 1932/33 there were eleven. During the November pogrom in 1938 , the two adult Jewish men in the village were taken to the Gestapo assembly camp in Breitenau near Kassel. One of the two families managed to emigrate to the USA via Italy in 1940 . However, five of the people from Binsförth were victims of the Holocaust .
