Ehringen ( Low German : Eiringen ) is a district of the city of Volkmarsen in the north Hessian district of Waldeck-Frankenberg .

Geographical location

Ehringen is about four kilometers southeast of the core town of Volkmarsen on the Twiste tributary Erpe , into which the Viesebeckerbach flows when it influences the village . The Ehringen flood retention basin is located a little above the town on the Erpe . The neighboring villages include Viesebeck in the south-south-west, Niederelsungen in the east-north-east and the core town of Wolfhagen in the south-south-east (all in the Kassel district ).

history

The village is mentioned for the first time in 1018 in the Vita Meinwerci , the biography of Bishop Meinwerk of Paderborn .

The place name changed several times: Ehrungen, Heringen, Eringen, Iringen and later Ehringen an der Erpe to today's Ehringen.

In 1431 by Count Otto III. The pledge of the village made by Waldeck to the Hessian Landgrave Ludwig I (increased again by Otto III in 1455, increased again in 1472 by Otto IV and in 1534 by Philip III ) led to much dispute between Waldeck and Hesse and was only ended in a settlement reached in 1635 and confirmed with the Peace of Westphalia in 1648 , when Waldeck ceded the sovereign rights to Hessen-Kassel , but retained all other rights (mills, church rate, etc.).

The church was built in the Gothic style. It has an almost square west tower, a Romanesque defense tower. The Gothic nave in the escape side of the north wall adjoins it and is bent slightly to the south on its axis. After the introduction of the Reformation, she came to Waldeck from the Diocese of Paderborn via the Archdiocese of Mainz .

In 1852 the village of Ehringen experienced a severe water shortage. On July 19th that year the village was catastrophically flooded. Four people died that day and most of Ehringens was destroyed. To this day, the "Water Festival" is celebrated in Ehringen on July 19th as a day of reflection. The catastrophe of the 19th century is commemorated in two well-attended church services and a lecture event in the afternoon.

On February 1, 1971, the previously independent municipality of Ehringen was incorporated into the city of Volkmarsen as part of the regional reform in Hesse .
