Esbeck is a deserted area in the border area of ​​the present day districts of the Marsberg district of Giershagen and Adorfs in the North Hessian community of Diemelsee .

The name Esbeck goes back to "Eschenbicke". The origin of the name is interpreted to mean that it referred to a location with ash trees by a stream. Until well into the 21st century, there is a rich spring near the desert with the following stream.

Geographical location

history

Esbeck was first mentioned in a document in 1036. Recent research suggests possible earlier mentions. The place has been named differently throughout history. In more recent works before 1141, further name variants as "Aesebiki" ( Traditiones Corbeienses ) and "Esbike" (1026) are mentioned.

The documentary evidence known in the State Historical Information System of Hesse (LAGIS) can be found in the following overview:

• Esbyke (1141) [copy, Westphalian document book. Continuation of Erhard's Regesta historiae Westfaliae, Additamenta, pp. 40–41, no. 43]
• Esbeke (1201) [Bredelar monastery documents, pp. 46–47, no. 6]
• Essike (1206) [Bredelar monastery documents, p. 48, no. 10]
• Esbike (1254) [Bredelar monastery documents, pp. 74–75, no. 63]

In 1141 the abbot Adelbert von Corvey exchanged his tithe in Rotheringhausen for a hoof in Esbeck from the Flechtdorf monastery . In 1201, Bishop Bernhard II of Paderborn confirmed to the abbot of Bredelar Monastery, among other things, that he owned a hoof in Esbeck. Later on, Bredelar Monastery acquired further properties in Esbeck. Around 1254 a church or chapel is mentioned in a document in Esbeck ("ecclesiali villa Esbike"). Since the 13th century, the Bredelar monastery had the right to present the church. In 1253 the Dickebier brothers sold their estate ("predium") in Esbeck to the monastery, which they owned according to Meierrecht ("iure villicationis"). In 1526 Count Philipp III. from Waldeck- Eisenberg to the monastery, the Esbeck desert with the castle site and the building yard.

Remains of the former church remained until 1949.
