Eberhausen is a district of the borough Adelebsen in Göttingen district in the south of Lower Saxony in Germany . With around 350 inhabitants, it is one of the smallest districts in the Adelebsen community.

Geographical location

Eberhausen is located around 4 km southwest of the core town of Adelebsen. To the west of the village extend the northern foothills of the Bramwald with the Heidelberg (approx.  402  m above sea  level ) and its southern foothills Speerberg (approx.  380  m ). To the north rise the wooded mountain ranges of Lindenberg ( 263  m ) and Eichenberg (approx.  274  m ) and south of the wooded Backenberg ( 341  m ). The Auschnippe flows as a southern tributary of the Schwülme about 600 m east-northeast of the village, which is at an altitude of around 210  m to 245.5  m . The closest neighboring village is the Adelebsen district of Güntersen, just under 2.5 km to the southeast .

history

The place name ending -hausen suggests the early medieval clearing period when Eberhausen was founded. The mention in a deed of donation from the Archbishop of Mainz to the Bursfelde Monastery is considered the oldest mention of the place. From 1347 to 1852 the place was under the jurisdiction of Adelebsen. This resulted from the fact that Eberhausen was often sacked during the war years and the Bursfelde monastery, which owned the place once, could not give any support to the residents who were looking for help. In addition, the village experienced an enormous decrease in population, so in some cases only one monk is reported who lived in the village with his only property, a cow. Since the Bursfelde monastery hardly had enough income of its own, it decided to sell Eberhausen to the Lords of Adelebsen. However, the Lords of Adelebsen owned a large part of the village before they were enfeoffed by Duke Ernst in 1347 with the court of ash. The monastery owned several farms in Ebershausen, and the Hilwartshausen and Lippoldsberg monasteries also owned properties in the region. Several Pfandbriefe attest to the sale and pledging of land by the Lords of Adelebsen to the Bursfelde monastery in the 14th and 15th centuries. The upper jurisdiction, however, was retained by the Adelebser, as is evident from a loan letter issued to the Adelebsen house by Duke Otto von Braunschweig in 1449 . The structure of the village has hardly changed since the end of the 18th century and only slightly expanded.

On January 1, 1973 Eberhausen was incorporated into the Adelebsen area.

church

The Protestant Church of St. Nicolai consists of a quarry stone walled west tower with a medieval core and a half-timbered nave with a hipped roof in the east , which was only added to the tower in 1841 and considerably rebuilt in the east in 1960. The pyramid roof of the tower is crowned by a weather vane with a cross. The tower originally had a vaulted storey, as shown by the remains of a groin vault . In the altar a baroque painting of the Assumption was made, which until 1961 served as the back wall of the church in Güntersen .

Paper mill

The Eberhausen paper mill is east-northeast of the village on the Auschnippe. It was built in the 15th century and first mentioned in a document in 1449 as a fiefdom of Count Bodo II ( Botho zu Stolberg the Elder ) with the name "Ripelowen-Mühle". The building has been used as a restaurant since the 18th century; today's buildings date mainly from the second half of the 19th century. In the middle of the 20th century, the Eberhausen paper mill was a popular destination in the region between Göttingen and the Solling . At the end of the 1970s, the premises were converted into a discotheque. In the last few years of the discotheque's existence, open-air concerts with several hundred visitors each took place on the grounds of the Eberhausen paper mill.
