Engelbritzen was a village settlement in today's district of Viesebeck , a district of the north Hessian city ​​of Wolfhagen , district of Kassel . It is not known when the place was abandoned and fell desolate .

Geographical location

The place was about 1 km south of Viesebeck and 3.5 km northwest of Wolfhagen at an altitude of 262  m west of the Viesebeckerbach , which bends here from northeast to north, in the fields of the Engelbrechzerfeld field. Today's Engelbrechzerfeld farm group is located about 200 m to the northeast. The district road K 92 from Gasterfeld in the south to Viesebeck in the north runs 200 m west of the former settlement.

history

The first written mention of the place comes from the year 1267, when a chard from Engelbrachtessen is mentioned. The place name appeared in the course of the following centuries with changing spelling: "Engelbrachtessen" (1267), "Engelbrachtingshusen" (1331), "Engilbrechtessen" (1409), "Engelbrachtsen" (1458), "Engelbrechsen" (1514) and "Engelberschen" ( 1531). Whether this refers to this place or Engelbrachtinghausen near Sachsenberg is not undisputed.

Little fragmentary information on the history of the place is known. As vassals of the Landgraves of Hesse , the Lords of Helfenberg were feudal owners of property in Engelbritzen, and later probably also the Spiegel zum Desenberg . Due to the inheritance of Rudolph V von Helfenberg, the last of his line, with Landgrave Hermann II , which was closed in 1409 , his entire allodial and fiefdom property, including Engelbritzen, fell to the Landgrave on his death in 1414. The place, which had long since been abandoned and whose field mark was incorporated into the district of Viesebeck, was last mentioned in a document in the Wolfhager Salbuch from 1537, which lists the Engelbritz tithe for Viesebeck.

The field names "Engelbrechtsen" (around 1900), "Engelbrechzerfeld" (1930s) and "Engelbrechzerfeld" (today) and the homestead "Engelbrechzerfeld" reminded of the disappeared village.

Von Waldeck undoubtedly does not refer to Engelbritzen, but on Engelbrachtinghausen near Sachsenberg. The same applies to the resignation of Johann and Heinrich von dem Bifange in 1331 in favor of Count Heinrich von Waldeck on the tithe and all goods in Nieder- Bifangen , with the exception of the goods in Engelbrachtinghausen.
