Dagobertshausen , known locally as Platt Dobeltshüsen , has been part of the municipality of Malsfeld in the Schwalm-Eder district in Hesse since April 1972 .
The place is in northern Hesse east of the hill head, the local mountain of the village. State road 3427 runs through the village .
history
The village is first mentioned in a document in 1106. According to a legend, the name Dagobertshausen is derived from the Merovingian Frankish king Dagobert I , who is said to have defeated a Slavic army in this area in 631 . This name has only been officially used since 1747. Previously appearing spellings of the place name were: Dageboldeshusun (1106), Dageboldishus (1194), Taboldeshusen (1253), Thabolshusen (1275), Tabelshusen (1453) and Dabelshausen (1585), with which the legend seems untrustworthy. Dagobert I is said to have donated a church in thanks for his victory over the Slavs, in the place of which is now the fortified church built shortly after 1400 in the town center .
The village was always Landgrave Hessian , and in 1370 a Landgrave Lower Court Dagobertshausen is mentioned. Local nobles are recorded in the period from 1106 to 1275, but are named as extinct by 1477 at the latest. One or more manorial farms were still in or near the village until the 18th century. (A farm is said to have been in the Dabelshausen field; it was owned by the Hessian noble family von Nordeck in 1585 and stood above the Wolfsgraben.) In 1453, Landgrave Ludwig I was obviously staying on one of these properties when he was in "Tabelshusen" issued a so-called letter of occasion.
During the Thirty Years' War the village and the church were sacked by Croatian troops in 1636 and partially destroyed by fire.
On April 1, 1972, Dagobertshausen was incorporated into the community of Malsfeld.
Desert Oberdagobertshausen
About 1.5 kilometers southwest of the village center, on the eastern slope of 392 m above sea level. NN high hill head (formerly Heidelberg head), was once the settlement Oberdabelshusen ( Upper Dagobertshausen ), the war to the Thirty Years' deserted village was. Small remains and foundations can still be found in front of the large crater of the former basalt quarry .
Schnegelshof
The Schnegelshof, a former Vorwerk of the Scholley'schen manor in Malsfeld, is also in the district of Dagobertshausen . Because of the income from this farm, a decades-long dispute between the pastor of Dagobertshausen and the Scholley family was waged. After the male line of the von Scholley family died out in 1829, the farm belonged to the Hessian state domain of Elfershausen , which had already been created in 1770, as a fallen fiefdom ; this was dissolved in 1971 and the Schnegelshof became a private farm.

church
When the first church or chapel was built in the village is unclear, despite the legend about the church foundation of Dagoberts I. The first written mention of a local church is in 1194, when Archbishop Konrad I of Mainz confirmed the donation of the church in Sipperhausen and its branch church in Dagobertshausen by the Hersfeld Abbey to their (daughter) Augustinian convent Aua . As early as 1228, Archbishop Siegfried II allowed the Aua Monastery to return the two churches to the Hersfeld Abbey and to exchange them for those of Braach .
Today's Gothic church, which is quite huge for a small village, with its massive church tower and single-nave nave was built between 1403 and 1411. The massive church tower was obviously once a mountain observatory . The top floor of the square, massive bell house protrudes a little and has four similar shooting openings on each side. Instead of today's hipped roof , there was originally a kind of platform from which the crew could observe the surroundings and defend themselves if necessary. Gargoyles on Fußgesims this bullet in the complex for a village church right form of breathing animals allow this conclusion.
The ground floor of the tower, the nave and the choir are spanned by cross vaults. On the walls of the nave there are remains of exposed tendril paintings and lettering in the upper area. In the choir there is a tabernacle from the 15th century with a crucifixion relief. Some of the valuable stained glass of the pointed arched windows that existed in the past are located in the windows of the Löwenburg Chapel in Kassel , and some of them are no longer composable in the basement of the Hessian State Museum in Kassel.
The church is on the Elisabethpfad and Jakobsweg . Hikers and pilgrims will find a table with water and a prayer wall here. The church is open from March to the end of October every day from 9 am to 6 pm; otherwise there is a note on the church door where the church key can be obtained. Visiting the bell tower is only possible after prior registration at the rectory.
