The "new" Bringhausen

Bringhausen is a district of the municipality of Edertal in the Waldeck-Frankenberg district , northern Hesse (Germany). The village is on the south bank of the Edersee . It was created in the years 1913 to 1914, when after the construction of the Edertalsperre, the old village located deeper in the Eder valley had to be abandoned.

geography

Bringhausen is located southwest of Kassel and northwest of Bad Wildungen on the northern edge of the Kellerwald-Edersee National Park and on the southern bank of the Edersee. Like the Asel- Süd a little further west on the opposite lakeshore, Bringhausen is in a dead end in terms of traffic : it can only be reached from the east or from the dam and thus via Hemfurth-Edersee , because through the northern, hardly developed part of the Kellerwald there are only a few roads.

Bringhausen is located on the so-called "Bringhauser Bucht", in which the Love Island is located, the location of the former Bring Castle .

history

The interior of the ev. Church of Bringhausen in 1905. The church was in 1914 translocated .

When the Edertalsperre was built between 1908 and 1914 about four kilometers as the crow flies east of what was then the village of Bringhausen , the end of the settlement was in sight. The villagers settled on a mountain slope south of the old town.

Similar to Asel , there was also a bridge over the Eder near Bringhausen , which could be used to get to Scheid . When the construction of the dam wall was finished, this bridge, built in 1897, also disappeared in the water of the lake. When the level is low, their remains come to the fore.

On December 31, 1971, Bringhausen was incorporated into the community of Edertal.

Because of its location directly on the Edersee and in the Kellerwald-Edersee National Park, the local economy is heavily influenced by tourism. There are three large campsites and numerous holiday homes and holiday apartments in the village . There are boat rentals and a surf school as well as numerous hiking trails. The place has a landing stage for the Ederseeschifffahrt.

Castle Bring

The remains of a small castle are on the island of love in the Edersee. The exact date of construction of the castle, first mentioned in 1196, is not known. In the 15th century it was owned by the Counts of Waldeck . It is also not known when the castle was abandoned or possibly destroyed and then fell into disrepair. In the 19th century it was already in ruins with only a few remains of the wall; these are now in the Edersee and are only visible when the water level is low.

Further resettlements

In addition to Bringhausen, the villages of Asel and Berich, originally located in the Eder valley, and three individual farms were also relocated. The former residents of Asel were settled on the higher south bank (Asel-Süd) or on a mountain north of the emerging Edersee (today's Asel); Neu-Berich is 22 km (as the crow flies) further north.
