history
.JPG)
Datterode is probably not an established settlement, but the houses were built around a fortified chapel at a strategically important point in the Netratal, so that a defensible inner courtyard was created. The place was mentioned for the first time in 1140/41 in a Thuringian document as "Dathenrot in pago Nedere" (Datterode in the judicial district of Netra), a short time later again on November 9, 1141 in a document from the Archbishop of Mainz, Markolf of Mainz. In this he confirmed the monastery Northeim by Count Siegfried IV. Of Northeim / Boyneburg donations made and made the monastery in addition tenth authorized for several areas weirs and Netra, including "Datdenroth". The monastery also owned a small estate in the deserted Wiebersbach on the upper reaches of the Hasselbach, which has since been built over by Datterode . The property of Northeim Monastery later went to Bursfelde Monastery , which in 1448 sold its properties in and around Datterode to the Boyneburgers . The tithing rights of the Northeim Monastery, in turn, came to the Germerode Monastery in 1360 via the Nesselröden family . After the secularization of the monastery in 1527 during the Reformation , the taxes were transferred to the Datterode parish.
The place with its parish itself was owned by the Counts of Northeim when it was first mentioned in a document . After they died out in 1144, their possessions went to the Landgraves of Thuringia via Hermann II von Winzenburg and Heinrich the Lion . When Emperor Friedrich Barbarossa commissioned a chapel on the Boyneburg , which was consecrated on June 13, 1188 , he acquired "Tattenrode" from the Thuringian Landgrave Ludwig III. for this as a maintenance security. As a result, the castle chaplain was also responsible for the branch community in Datterode. This relationship turned in the 14th century when the clergy began to call themselves pastors of Datterode and to provide pastoral care to the chapel on the Boyneburg, which had sunk in importance.
Presumably in the 15th century, at the latest in 1510, the place and the parish came into the possession of the Landgraves of Hesse . Doctor Konrad Schrendeisen , canon and official at St. Petri Stift in Fritzlar , who was attested between 1501 and 1510 , was the owner of the previously independent parish in Datterode, but then placed it under the protection of the Landgrave. The independent Datterode parish thus ceased to exist and was henceforth awarded directly by the landgrave.
In the time of the Reformation , the place became Protestant due to its membership of the Landgraviate of Hesse after the Homberg Synod , around 1528 the first Protestant pastor began his work. An indirect consequence of the synod was the establishment of a village school around 1580. In the course of the 16th century, various vassals of the landgrave were enfeoffed with the village, the first fief taker was Werner von Trott zu Solz in 1522 . After a number of other fiefs, among them the landgrave chamber master Simon Bing from 1576 to 1581 , the landgrave of Hessen-Kassel kept the fief for himself at the beginning of the 17th century. During this time, the place was assigned to the Bilstein court , later it came to the Eschwege office . In 1583, Landgrave Wilhelm IV moved the customs office on the trade route from Thuringia to Hesse from Ulfen to Datterode. Because of its location on an important road, the village often became a transit station for armies passing through in the following centuries.
During the Thirty Years' War , especially in the 1630s, over half of Datterode's farms were destroyed or abandoned, and the population had to pay war taxes.
At a census in 1745 the population was 373 in 87 houses. At the time of the American War of Independence , 32 Datteröder went to war in America through the so-called soldier trade under Landgrave Friedrich II. Von Hessen-Kassel , 15 of whom returned home, 10 stayed there and 6 died from battle or illness. In the 19th century, between 1835 and 1872, 83 residents emigrated to America.
20th century
Around 1910 a cooperative built a water pipe to which all households connected over the next two decades. This line system was only adopted by the municipality in 1961. In the 1910s, it was also connected to the power grid. In the First World War , 19 Datteröder fell and 3 were reported missing. In 1925 the village had 727 inhabitants in 145 houses. During the Second World War , 50 residents were killed and 16 went missing. The place was occupied by US troops on April 3, 1945, Easter Tuesday. In contrast to neighboring villages, no courtyards were set on fire, but two fleeing German soldiers were shot on the edge of the village.
After the war, the place was on the edge of the zone and the population jumped from 850 (in 1939) to 1098 (1949), as many refugees (229 people) and evacuees (28 people) had to be taken in, these were spread over 158 houses. In the 1950s, the community realized some construction projects through voluntary work by the residents. In 1953 a memorial was built , in 1954 the swimming pool was built and in 1960 the observation tower “Berliner Turm”. In the 1950s, a sewer system was built throughout the entire village.
Datterode in the municipality of Netratal
In the course of the regional reform in Hesse , the previously independent municipality Datterode merged on April 1, 1972 with the neighboring village of Röhrda to form the municipality of Netratal . Two years later, on January 1, 1974, it was incorporated into the Ringgau community. In the same year the place got the title climatic health resort . In 1976 Datterode took second place in the state decision of the competition “ Our village should be more beautiful ”, and later the district decision was won again.
After the border was opened in 1989, Datterode lost its previous peripheral location, the immediate consequence was increased traffic on the federal highway 7. This and financial problems of the municipality of Ringgau led to the loss of the climatic health resort rating.
In 2001 the site attracted media interest when a Dutch war criminal who had been living in the village under a false identity since 1946 was exposed.

Culture and sights
Buildings
Village church
The Datteröder village church is one of the oldest in the Werra-Meißner district. The special feature is the Romanesque nave with its high arched windows, which is why the church is believed to have a defensive function , and the late medieval wall paintings inside. The building was given its current appearance in several stages. The aforementioned Romanesque nave probably dates from the 12th century, the transverse tower attached to the western side was built a little later. The polygonal closed choir was probably only added in the second half of the 15th century. During the renovation of the church in the 1960s, the painted-over wall paintings from the late Middle Ages were discovered and exposed again.
cenotaph
On a small elevation on the southwestern edge of the village, the "Löhchenkopf", a memorial was erected in 1953 with manual and tension services and voluntary work. It consists of a natural stone cross weighing 18 tons and a circular wall, on which the names of the fallen and missing data bait from the two world wars as well as the fallen and missing persons of the families of expellees who moved there are incorporated on six memorial plaques . Halfway up to the complex there is also a memorial stone for the victims of the displacement . The cross is illuminated on special occasions or, for example, during Advent. On the day of national mourning there is an annual wreath-laying ceremony with church service.
Berlin Tower
In 1960 a lookout tower was built on the 410 m high Hüppelsberg, partly in-house , and named "Berlin Tower". In 1994, after the surrounding trees towered over it, this was topped up by the community and today also serves as an antenna carrier for a mobile phone company. The tower, which is 18.2 m high today, can be climbed free of charge all year round.
Anger
Although Datterode is not an anger village , there is still an anger . This was already mentioned in the 16th century, at that time there was also a "Kleiner Anger", which was probably next to the church. The Anger remained largely unchanged until the 1960s, it consisted of a stone block under linden trees. Then it was rebuilt, the ground was concreted and new trees were planted. In the 1990s this was reversed and an attempt was made to restore the Anger to its original appearance. The Anger now again consists of the stone block circle and two red and two white chestnut trees, which are supposed to represent the Hessian national colors. In the middle of the square there has been the so-called "Barnhouse-Linde" since 1997, which was donated by descendants of Hessian soldiers from Datterode who stayed in the USA. Next to the green there is also the "Gänsekerle-Denkmal".
Boyneburg ruins
Two kilometers south of Datterode, but already in the adjacent district of Wichmannshausen , are the ruins of the Boyneburg .
Deserted church at Gut Harmuthshausen
At the foot of the Boyneburg, next to Gut Harmuthshausen, are the excavated foundations of the church of the desert of Hademarshausen. The place was first mentioned in 1320 as the property of the von Boyneburg family and was probably abandoned soon after 1370. The remains of the church were discovered while plowing in 1971 and excavated until 1975. The building probably dates from the 11th or 12th century and was 16 m long and initially had an apse , which was later replaced by a rectangular choir. In a small annex, two grave slabs were discovered in addition to several skeletons, presumably aristocratic landowners were buried there. Outside the church a well and several graves have been excavated.
The foundation walls have been restored and can be viewed, the grave slabs are exhibited at Gut Harmuthshausen.
Natural monuments
On the southern edge of the village is the "Eckerbaum", an approximately 700 year old European beech .
Sports
TSV Datterode 1921 is the local sports club. It is the successor to two clubs founded in 1921, the “Arbeiter Turn- und Sportverein (Freier Turnverein)”, which was banned in 1933, and the “German Gymnastics Club”. After the Second World War, the gymnastics and sports club Datterode was formed in 1945 from members of both clubs. The most important department is the handball division. This has formed a syndicate with TSV Röhrda since 1982 under the name SG Datterode / Röhrda.
Other branches of the sports club include hiking, bowling and tennis. There is also a darts club.
Datterode has a sports field with a gym , which was built in 1985 as a replacement for the hall built by the German Gymnastics Club in 1925 and demolished in 1970. There is also a tennis court and beach handball courts .
Regular events
After the fair tradition fell asleep, the handball turf tournament of the SG Datterode / Röhrda, which has been held annually on the weekend of Pentecost since 1992, is the largest event of Datterode. Over 100 teams of both genders and all age groups take part, including national teams.
On Ascension Day a folk festival with church service and the traditional bread donation by the Lords of Boyneburg takes place at the ruins of the Boyneburg .
At Easter, the Datterode volunteer fire brigade organizes an Easter fire at the grill hut.
Economy and Infrastructure
traffic
The federal road 7 (Kassel – Eisenach) runs through the village . Datterode is connected to the local public transport by bus line 240 of the regional traffic Kurhessen . The nearest train station is in Reichensachsen, 10 km away on the Bebra – Göttingen railway line .
Public facilities
In the former “New School”, today's “Haus des Gastes”, there is a community library that is open once a week. The village community center, which was inaugurated in 1975, is located on the sports field with a hall for events and a bowling alley . It also houses the Datterode volunteer fire department .
swimming pool
The Datteröder outdoor pool was inaugurated in 1954 after six months of construction as the first swimming pool in the district. There were already plans for the construction of a baths before the Second World War, but they were only realized after the war with personal contributions and manual and tension services of the population. The pool measures 25 m × 16 m with swimmers and non-swimmers, and there is also a children's paddling pool and an adjoining restaurant. In order to prevent the community from closing the deficit pool , it is now partly run by volunteers from the Datterode swimming pool association, which was founded specifically for this purpose.
