Elliksen

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Elliksen (also Ellixen , Elixen ) was a small village north of Grebenstein in the north Hessian district of Kassel , which was probably already "desolate" in the first quarter of the 14th century .

The place was between the road from Grebenstein to Hofgeismar and the Esse , below the former oil mill that still exists today. It was probably given up in the period between 1297 and 1322 in favor of the town of Grebenstein, which was acquired in those years. The Archdiocese of Mainz had very strong territorial rights in the area of ​​the Reinhardswald and forced the surrounding secular lords to let go of a number of the new places they had created; this was probably the reason that Elliksen was abandoned and its residents moved to Grebenstein. In the Salbuch of 1554 the place is only mentioned as a field name ( Elligkessen , Elkessen , Elckelschen , Eckelschen ).

Today, in the former corridor of Elliksen, between the federal road B83 and the railway line, there are two farms and the old oil mill, which bear the settlement name Ellixen.
