The church in Carlsdorf

Carlsdorf is a village west of the Reinhardswald in the district of Kassel , Northern Hesse with 496 inhabitants (as of 2015). Carlsdorf has been a district of Hofgeismar since the Hessian regional reform in the early 1970s .

Geographical location

Carlsdorf is about 3.5 km east-southeast of Hofgeismar in the western foothills of the Reinhardswald on the small forest areas of Strauchberg in the northeast and Lichte Heide in the southeast. The Lempe , which flows east-west through Carlsdorf and is a southeast tributary of the Esse in the catchment area of ​​the Diemel , squeezes between these forests .

history

The cross-shaped Carlsdorf was created in the area of ​​a desert . The original village is mentioned with the name Gotresdeshusun or Gothardessen / Gauze as early as 965.

The present-day village goes back to the first arable colony in Hesse for religious refugees from France in 1686. In the 17th century, Landgrave Carl von Hessen also settled numerous Huguenot families in the area around the town of Hofgeismar , who after the Edict of Fontainebleau and the abolition of religious freedom lost their homes in France in 1685. Carlsdorf was named after Landgrave Carl, the neighboring Mariendorf after his wife Maria Amalia.

A total of 500 Hessian fields (119.35 hectares) were ultimately available for the new settlers in Carlsdorf, who, however, found it difficult to get on with their small "portions" economically. The planned construction of the first settlement houses in 1686 is also known from the "landgrave's refugee commissioner" Pierre Feuquière d'Aubigny. While the lower floor was made of stones, a half-timbered construction was chosen for the upper floor.

David Clement

Long-standing pastor until his death in 1725 was David Clément , who also looked after the colonies in Mariendorf and later in Schöneberg and who had led the refugees to Hesse. After the establishment of a French Reformed congregation in the nearby town of Hofgeismar on February 22, 1686, the services of both the German Reformed congregation and the French Reformed Christians were held in the Hofgeismar Neustädter Church . The first pastor of the French community was David Clément. A memorial plaque on the Neustädter Church and a statue erected not far from the church commemorate his work in Hofgeismar until his death on January 29, 1725. His entries in the parish register from 1686 to 1725 provide information about official acts in the French Reformed parish in Hofgeismar, but later also in Carlsdorf, Kelze and Schöneberg. After the second wave of French religious refugees immigrated to Hessen-Kassel in 1699, a second pastorate was established in 1704 for the newly created villages in Carlsdorf and Schöneberg.

On December 31, 1970, Carlsdorf was incorporated into the city of Hofgeismar.

church

The Carlsdorf half-timbered church , which - like the place itself - was planned by Paul du Ry and built in 1704 is worth seeing . As a Huguenot religious refugee, he was appointed court architect in 1685 by Landgrave Carl to Kassel , the residential city of the Landgraviate of Hessen-Kassel . The stone bridge built in 1711 over the Lempe forms the north exit of the village.

The sports club TSV Carlsdorf was founded in 1951.
