history

Bosserode memorial stone

Bosserode was probably founded in the 11th or 12th century. The place was first mentioned in a document in 1396 as "Busenrode" in an enfeoffment of the Fulda Monastery for the noble Mr. Heymbrecht von Boymelnburg, who probably had his seat in today's Ringgau at Brandenfels Castle . Bosserode later belonged to the Gerstungen office , which was pledged to the Landgraves of Thuringia in 1402 .

In 1433 we still find Boyneburgers enfeoffed with Bosserode. The original town center was in the area of ​​the church, whose name still bears the name "Großer Hof" today. The church was built in 1699 and has a carved Pieta and a winged altar from the 15th century as a special attraction.

In 1733 Bosserode in Thuringia became a Hessian town by contract. He was together with Raßdorf and Sweet trial on Baumbach's Nentershausen in office Sontra annexed after the Landgrave Friedrich his claim to the cooperation with Hessen Sachsen-Eisenach managed Amtshaus Breitenbach dropped and for that, among other things, these three places from adjacent Gerstungen office received. The Evangelical Lutheran congregation in the village remained with Thuringia, which is why it was not reformed like the Hessian parishes in the 17th century.

The formerly poor economic situation of the formerly very poor place changed only at the end of the 19th century through employment opportunities in the railroad and in potash mining. In addition to agriculture and charcoal burning, many residents of Bosserode were also active in the nearby Richelsdorf copper mining at the end of the 15th century.

The Evangelical Lutheran parishes of Bosserode and Kleinensee belonged to the Thuringian regional church until the end of the war, which is why many old church documents are stored in Thuringian archives. It was not until 1970 that the Eisenach bishop Moritz Mitzenheim and the Kassel bishop Vellmer concluded an exchange contract without consulting the synods, in which the former Hessian Schmalkalden came to the Thuringian regional church and the two places to the Evangelical Church of Kurhessen-Waldeck . On December 31, 1971, the new community Wildeck was formed through the merger of Bosserode with four other communities.
