Fuldhain
Fuldhain is a desert in the south-east of the district of Kassel in northern Hesse .
The place was in front of the lower Neustadt in the direction of today's district Waldau and was first mentioned in 1247 as Volthagen, when Archbishop Siegfried III. of Mainz to the brothers Hermann d. J. and Heinrich von Wolfershausen pledged his tithes, estimated at 250 marks, in Kassel and “Volthagen”. In 1295 the brothers Wittekind and Bertold von Schwarzenberg sold all of their interest to Landgrave Heinrich I of Hesse in “Volchanc”. In 1301, Count Otto II. († 1306) von Bilstein , the last male offspring of his family, sold all of the Bilstein fiefdoms and then also his allodial property , including goods in Waldau and Volthagen, which Wittekind and Hugo von Schwarzenberg had as fiefs , to Landgrave Heinrich I. In 1336 a comparison is reported between Ludwig Symeshusin and the Kaufungen monastery for goods in "Volthayn", and in 1344 the von Schwarzenberg brothers sold the Breitenau monastery a pension from all their goods in Waldau and "Volthayn". This seems to be the last written mention of the place as a settlement. In 1412 there is only talk of meadows in the Feldmark of “Volthain”, which was now desolate. In 1432 there is another report of one and a half Huben Land, called "Vogkesbreyde", which was on the "Folthan" before Kassel.
