Ershausen is the core district of Schimberg in the Eichsfeld district in Thuringia .

location

Ershausen is located in the Rosoppe valley at the foot of the Westerwald in Südeichsfeld, about 13 kilometers south of Heilbad Heiligenstadt . The landscape is shaped by the surrounding mountains, including the Schimberg (457 m) in the northeast, the Heuberg (430 m) in the east, the Winterberg (368 m) in the southwest and the Tierberg (363 m) in the west.

history

Ershausen was first mentioned in a document on June 22nd, 1272. The municipality's website provides information on further developments. The Lords of Hanstein also owned properties here. From the 16th century they gave up Hanstein Castle and came to Ershausen.

The first church in Ershausen was dedicated to St. Walpurgis and probably existed until around 1688, because a contract for the construction of a new church is documented from that year. Around 1905, the first plans were made to replace the old church with a new building. The reason for this was the poor structural condition of the church building, which led to its demolition in 1907. After a long planning period, today's church of St. Philip and St. James was built between 1908 and 1911 and equipped with new furniture.

The St. Johannesstift in Ershausen was established as a foundation in 1884. During the National Socialist era, 93 children and young people, who were among the 200 mentally handicapped people housed in St. Johannes Stift Ershausen, were deported in 1939 as part of the “ euthanasia ” murder program.

From 1914 to 1947 Ershausen was connected to the Heiligenstadt – Schwebda railway with its own train station. The cessation of railway operations and the dismantling of the tracks took place in 1947 by order of the Soviet military administration .

Knight of Ershausen

From the 13th to the 15th century nobles or knights von Ershausen were mentioned several times in documents, whether they owned a fortified manor house (Kemenate) here is not certain. In the middle of the 14th century, several lords of Ershausen were part pledges of the office and bailiwick of Bischoffstein Castle , until they finally received the hereditary Burgmannslehen. The last time a Hildebrand von Ershausen was mentioned in 1476. Heir to the feudal fiefdom was Hans von Hanstein, and from the 16th century the lords of Hanstein had two lines in Ershausen (Unterhof and Oberhof). Representatives of the family were:

  • Otto von Ershausen (1293)
  • Apel von Ershausen (1336 to 1344) mentioned several times in documents, (1337) bailiff at Treffurt
  • Hermann von Ershausen (knight 1362) and his brothers Otto and Hans (noblemen) were pledges for 12 Hufen land
  • Brothers Otto and Johann von Ershausen (1367)
  • (same) Hermann (1400) lord of the castle Greifenstein
  • Brothers Apel and Hildebrand von Ershausen (before 1436) owned feudal estates in Lengenfeld unterm Stein , which were taken over by the Lords of Hanstein
  • Hildebrand von Ershausen (1476) was probably the last to live in 1476
