geography

It is located on the B 446 between Seulingen and Westerode , five kilometers northwest of Duderstadt in the middle of the Golden Mark . Esplingerode is the smallest village in the Untereichsfeld .

history

Esplingerode was first mentioned in 1196 as Asplingerod in a document from Archbishop of Mainz Konrad I von Wittelsbach . The place was listed as Espelingerodt, Espelnrode and Esplingerod. In addition, there are also names that are Aspelo and Aspungen and go back to the meaning of aspen forest. Therefore it stands to reason that the name derives from the clearing of aspen. Due to the tradition of the former seal of Henning and Hans von Esplingerode, the noble family von Esplingerode can be mentioned for the 13th century, which later became extinct. That family is one that came from the lower nobility and belonged to the knighthood . They were feudal owners, including the Guelphs, and appeared in a document with the two brothers Johannes and Ehrenfried in 1321 when they gave the dean and chapter of the Nordhausen church four hooves in the corridors of the village of Seulingen, including a farmstead, forests, meadows, pastures and other accessories, as well as with the consent of their master, Duke Heinrich von Braunschweig . The village was one of the five Kespeldörfern in the city of Duderstadt, which the Elector Albrecht of Mainz placed under the jurisdiction of the Gieboldehausen Office in 1525 .

Esplingerode has always belonged to the parish of Desingerode , but remained politically independent. Due to the connection with Desingerode, the place belonged to the patronage churches of the Protestant lords of Uslar-Gleichen , who introduced the Protestant denomination in Esplingerode. However, this process was later reversed when the Elector Johann Schweikhard had sovereignty over the place and the majority of the population became Catholic again. Under canon law, Esplingerode was subject to the mother church in Desingerode, which meant that the baptismal water had to be fetched from Desingerode and candles were also obtained from that place for an annual fee of five pounds of wax. Funerals were carried out in the Desingerode cemetery until 1912, with Esplingerode setting up its own burial site on the road to Duderstadt as early as 1897/98. In addition to the Electors of Mainz, the lords of Wintzingerode , the lords of Roden and von Hagen acted as local lords, with the Nörten monastery in Esplingerode also being entitled to tithe . The single - nave neo-Gothic St. George's Church was built in 1913/14 and consecrated on July 1, 1914 by Hildesheim Bishop Adolf Bertram .

After Esplingerode children had attended the common parish school in Desingerode until 1770, there was a separate one-class school until 1967. Since their dissolution, the children have been going to school in Seulingen (now also Nesselröden) and Duderstadt. The former school was rebuilt in 1970 and is available as a multi-purpose hall for events and sports, in particular the table tennis club 48 .

On January 1, 1973 Esplingerode was incorporated into the city of Duderstadt.

After the abolition of the inner-German border in 1989 and German reunification , traffic on the B 446, especially heavy goods traffic, increased significantly. Since the construction of a bypass road (opening ceremony on November 27, 2003), traffic no longer flows through the town.

Attractions

St. George Church

Chapel of St. George

The small brick church of St. Georg with a retracted choir and western roof turret was built in 1913 in neo-Gothic style and consecrated on July 1, 1914 by Hildesheim Bishop Adolf Bertram . The plans for this come from the Esplingeröder architect Franz Huch. The previous building was a sandstone chapel from 1743, which in 1809 received a half-timbered extension. In contrast to today's church in the center of the village, it was abandoned because of its limited space and moisture problems; For the new building, a drier site was chosen on the south-eastern outskirts near the school and the cemetery. The west facade has an elaborate decoration in the area of ​​the wall design. Here you can find a pyramid-like staggering of brick-walled pointed arches , with the lower row consisting of three windows and blind arches attached to the upper rows . In the tympanum above the entrance portal there is a sandstone relief of the namesake of the church, St. George . In the pointed arch above the figure is the inscription Labora sicut bonus miles Christi Jesu 2. Tim. 2.3. carved as a quote from the Vulgate ( 2 Tim 2,3  VUL ), which translated means work like a good soldier of Christ . About the single-nave interior of the church one stretches to the eastern choir area groin vault over three yokes . The inventory of the church is in the neo-Gothic style, carvings have been made in the altar, and there are also gold ground pictures. A statue of Mary and Joseph are from 1916, while the colored choir windows are by the Hanoverian glass painter Hubert Henning. Since November 1, 2014, the church has belonged to the parish of St. Georg in Nesselröden , although its status as a subsidiary church has not been changed. The parish churches in Desingerode, Werxhausen and Immingerode were downgraded to branch churches.
