geography

View from Obernburg in Gudensberg over the Bonigel desert to Obersten Holz

The location was 6 km northeast of Fritzlar , not far south of today's county road K 8 at about 180 m above sea level. NHN in the valley of the Ems between Obervorschütz in the northwest, Niedervorschütz , district of Felsberg in the east and Boner Holz in the south, but can only be roughly localized today. The field names "Boner Holz", south of Obervorschütz, and "Boner Feld", west of Niedervorschütz, and the little "Bonnerbach" are reminiscent of the village that has disappeared. A few hundred meters to the west is the Breitenborn spring, whose drain flows into the Bonnerbach after 200 m; this in turn pours into the Ems after only a total of 950 m flow distance not far southeast of Obervorschütz .

history

The place was first mentioned in a document as "Bonhigelen" in 1209, when the Fritzlarer Petersstift had income there, and therefore had existed for some time. After that the village can be found as "Bonigel" (1257), "Bonegel" (1316), "Bone" (1341), "Bonegil" (around 1450) and "Bonygell" (1536) in written documents, but it is already in the year 1403 referred to as a desert in the Gudensberg district. In 1496 there is again talk of a farmstead that was presumably owned by the Lords of Elben , but in 1536 there is again a report of a former village. The last mention of "Bonsengell" comes from 1579.

The village was Landgrave-Hessian , and various noble families had property there over time, with the Petersstift in Fritzlar increasing its share most purposefully in the 14th century: sales of Hufen or goods to Bonigel to the monastery are 1304, 1305, 1316, Documented in 1319 and 1342.

In the mid-1950s, the golden lion fitting from Obervorschütz was found near the Bonigel desert.
