Geographical location

The place can be reached via the state road 3145. It lies between Rommershausen and Allendorf . Dittershausen is a closed village with an irregular floor plan, located on the Schwalm , at the foot of a mountain spur . In the center of the village is the former school, a half-timbered house from 1846 that was also used as a mayor's office and prayer room. To the north of it, numerous stately farms , free-standing barns and granaries were built in the 18th century .

history

In 1248 the place is mentioned for the first time as Dithardeshusen in a document from the county of Ziegenhain . It was named after the noble family residing on a manor . Berta, the knight's widow Konrad Krug, divides her property in 1300 in the village of Dittershausen (near the churchyard ) among her sons Rudolf and Ortwin . This included the meadows and fields in the area around the village and in Blumenau, half of their fishery and the forest near Blumenau and the Schelmenrod grove. In 1368 the Counts of Ziegenhain pledged the place to the von Urff . The landgraves redeemed this pledge in 1448. In 1525, Eckbrecht Krengel sold his Freihof in Dittershausen with the associated tithe and his fishing waters for 900 Rhenish gold guilders to Johann von Schweinsberg . In 1527 the landgraves enfeoffed von Schweinsberg with the tithe to Dittershausen. In 1528 von Schenk bought the villages of Dittershausen and Rommershausen with the Freihof zu Dittershausen and the sheep farm in both places from the landgraves for 1,800 guilders. Many of these goods were subsequently pledged to von Berlepsch by Johann von Schweinsberg 's grandson of the same name , as was the Freihof in 1587. During the Thirty Years War the place was almost completely destroyed. 1725 the von Löwenstein redeemed this pledge. Around 1759 the von Löwenstein'sche Gut consisted of 399 acres of land and meadows containing 40 loads of hay . The von Löwenstein had a mill built in Dittershausen in 1747 , which had two undershot grinding tunnels and a beater tread. It is still used today to generate electricity. After 1768 the entire Löwenstein fiefdom in Dittershausen was sold to the von Dörnberg in Hausen . In 1895 the manor Dittershausen comprised approx. 68 hectares of arable land, approx. 30 hectares of meadows and approx. 1 hectare of Hutung .

In 1928 a part of the dissolved "Gutbezirks Rittergut Dittershausen" is incorporated into Dittershausen. With the regional reform in Hesse , the place gave up its independence on December 31, 1971 and became a district of Schwalmstadt.
