Flechtdorf is the oldest district in the Diemelsee community in the Waldeck-Frankenberg district in North Hesse . The place has a more than 1100-year history . Since 1702, social institutions have been known in the village that are dedicated to the care of the sick , the care of disabled people and the care of the elderly .

Geographical location

Flechtdorf is located in the Upland in the Diemelsee Nature Park . Landesstraße 3076, the Aartalstraße, runs through the village . The Flechtdorfer Höckerflur (332.60) is part of the natural structure of the region "332 Ostsauerländer Gebirgsrand" . The area assigned to the place is 1,382 hectares . Existing and abandoned settlement areas in the area around Flechtdorf are the Hof Erleheim, the Rainbergsiedlung, the Rotheringhausen and Windehausen desolations and the castle on the Mörderkopf .

history

The history of the place is closely linked to the history of the Flechtdorf monastery . The place is first mentioned in documents from the Corvey monastery around the 830s . The place name appears in numerous versions in older documents and historiography; occupied are: Fliathorpe (826–876), Flahtthorpe (955), Fliahtthorpe (1025), Flietorp (1101), Fletorp (1104), Flicztorp (1120), Flictorp (1141), Flietorp (1163), Fleitorp (1240), Flechtorff (1537), Flechtorf (1733). and Vletorpe, Vletorpensis, Flietorpensis, Flectorp, Vlechtorpe, -lorp, Vlechdorp, Fleich-, Fleictorph, Flectorpensis, Flichtorf, Flechtorpp, Vlechtorph.

In 1104, Count Erpo von Padberg moved the Boke monastery from Boke to Flechtdorf. Under Landgrave Philip I , the Landgraviate of Hesse became Protestant in 1526 as a result of the Homberg Synod . This was implemented in Flechtdorf around 30 years later. As part of the Reformation, the place and monastery changed to Protestantism around 1556 .

The "Landeshospital Flechtdorf" was inaugurated in 1702 by Count Christian Ludwig . In 1704 the “Landeshospital Flechtdorf” foundation was established. According to the deed of foundation "at least 30 poor people, men and women, should be kept there". It is known from the 1860s that the facility was used as a “madhouse” in the sense of a psychiatric clinic for the Principality of Waldeck. The facility later became a retirement home .

In 2015, the economic unification of the parishes in the area of ​​the Diemelsee parish was also decided for Flechtdorf. All properties of the parish are listed in detail in the deed of November 12, 2015. Items 1, 3 and 4 of the document dealt with the property of the Protestant church in the area of ​​Flechtdorf. This affected a property of about 12 hectares , which in view of the local history made up only a fraction of the medieval church property .

Historical area assignment

Historically, the village is located in Ittergau (also known as "Nitherga"). The political boundaries and religious affiliations in this region have shifted several times. The region was still Saxon around 700 AD, until Franconian Austrasia assumed supremacy. Flechtdorf was on the border region between the Duchy of Saxony in the north and the Duchy of Franconia in the south. At the same time, the Benrath line , which marks a historical language border between the North Hessian dialect and Westphalian dialects such as the Sauerland plateau , and the dat-das line in this region have a similar course. Small-scale linguistic geographical boundaries for the pronunciation of vowels were proven around Flechtdorf up to the 20th century. The area belonging to the former Waldeck counties and the later Principality of Waldeck is known . After the dissolution of the Free State of Waldeck in 1929, Flechtdorf became Prussian by being assigned to Hesse-Nassau . After 1945, the Greater Hesse region in the American occupation zone was initially under American administration, until the state of Hesse took over Flechtdorf's territory.

As part of the regional reform in Hesse , Flechtdorf and twelve other communities formed the new Diemelsee community on December 31, 1971.

geology

Overall, the geology around Flechtdorf is assigned to the geology of the East Sauerland mountain range . In the vicinity there are special features through the stratification of Rhena limestone and posidonia limestone. Mining was carried out in isolated cases near Flechtdorf. The Geopark Region Naturpark Diemelsee supports interests in the context of geology.

Biostratigraphy

Through discoveries of trilobites , Flechtdorf became known with the sites "am Stunzenberg" and "am Rottenberg" (both on Aartalstrasse). In 1962 a documentation was published by Klaus Dieter Meischner . Since then, the findings have been used to systematize trilobites and as a reference for the technical term “G. spriale "is used.

coat of arms
