Gassenhausen

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gassenhausen is a deserted village settlement southeast of Niedenstein in the north Hessian Schwalm-Eder district .

location

The desert is located about 1.7 km southeast of the core town of Niedenstein at 266 m above sea level in the field of the districts of Niedenstein and Metze on the south bank of a brook coming from Niedenstein in the northwest ( GKZ 428924-14), which then flows north of Metze into the Matzoff (GKZ 428924) opens . The field name "Goddenhausen" reminds of the disappeared village. Around the former village settlement are the core town of Niedenstein in the northwest and the Niedensteiner districts Ermetheis in the northeast beyond a forest area (the "Goddenbusch"), Metze in the southeast and Wichdorf in the west-northwest.

The state road 3220 from Metze in the south-east to Wichdorf in the north-west runs past to the south, and the district road 88, which branches off from the L 3220, runs not far east in a south-north direction past Ermetheis.

history

Little is known about the history of the settlement. Ceramic finds in the area of ​​the desert date from the 9th to 14th centuries, but the place was first mentioned in writing in 1275, when the Yuppan brothers exchanged an estate for "Gasenhusen" from the Fritzlar Augustinian convent . The local nobility of the von Gassenhausen family is already known in the second half of the 12th century with Konrad von Gassenhausen, who built Nydensteyne Castle with his cousins ​​Hugo Hesso von Wichdorf and Reinhard Wackermaul in the years 1160–1164 . The Gassenhausen share was bought in 1229 by the Hess von Wichdorf .

Only for the year 1313 is there another document entry for the village, according to which Mr. Hund and Mr. von Holzhausen, who are closely related to them, had property in "Vasenhusen". In 1361 Curth Hess was enfeoffed with the tithe of Gassenhausen by Landgrave Heinrich II . In 1364 the dean of the Petristift Fritzlar prescribed half a hoof in the village. In 1379 Ekkebrecht von Grifte sold half of his tithe to "Gasinhusin" to Werner Knebeler, a citizen of Gudensberg.

By 1388 at the latest, the place was described as desolate. It was probably destroyed on September 3, 1387 in the feud of Landgrave Hermann II of Hesse with Archbishop Adolf of Mainz , Landgrave Balthasar of Thuringia and Duke Otto I of Braunschweig-Göttingen , when Niedenstein Castle was also devastated by the Archbishop's troops . The residents then probably moved to Niedenstein, which urgently needed residents.

Lendings and property sales in the district are notarized until 1836. In 1433 Ludwig von Wildungen received a field from Landgrave Ludwig I as a manlehen, among other things, which Hans Hess von Wichdorf and von Gassenhausen owned. In 1489, Landgrave Wilhelm I enfeoffed the Hess brothers with half a tithe to "Goßenhußen"; also for the years from 1575 to 1593 this lending to the Hess is notarized. In 1518 the sale of two fields to "Gazenhußen" is reported, and on January 9, 1536 Landgrave Philipp certified that the head of the Merxhausen Hospital had hereditary sold a meadow to "Gassenhusen" to Johann Gartmundt. In 1579, 3/4 of the tithe in “Gasenhausen” belonged to Grifte and 1/4 to Daniel Hess. In 1594, Landgrave Moritz Wolf von Carlowitz enfeoffed a third of the wood on the Emser Berg and half a tithe to Gassenhausen. Tithe was raised in 1836.

Members of the von Gassenhausen family, who evidently resided in Niedenstein after the village was abandoned, are known to have existed until at least 1489. In 1384 the squire Wiederhold von Gassenhausen is mentioned, his sons Kurt, Wiedekind, Eckenbrecht and Reinhard are mentioned in 1408. 1427 Reinhardt von Gassenhausen is named as one of the Ganerbe zu Niedenstein; he sold his castle seat in Niedenstein in 1433 to Curth and Hans Hess von Wichdorf and Hermann Hund and lived in Niedenstein in 1442.
