geography

The K55 joins the L793

The village of Gottsbüren is located approx. 30 km (as the crow flies ) north of the north Hessian city of Kassel . The northern part is surrounded by the Reinhardswald , to the west lies the 424  m high Langenberg with adjacent, heavily wooded 461  m high Hahneberg . Both are located east of the Holzape , and the village is traversed by its tributary Fuldebach . The local structure is determined by the country road leading from Hofgeismar to Gieselwerder and branching off in the center to Sababurg . The area in the center, triangularly enclosed by streets, in which the church is on a plateau above the Fuldebach, probably represents the location of the medieval cloister courtyard.
The oldest preserved half-timbered houses date from the middle 17th century, i.e. from the time when when pottery prevailed.
A section of the Weser Renaissance road runs through the village . Just 4.5 km (as the crow flies) south-southeast of Gottsbüren is the legendary Sababurg , the "Sleeping Beauty Castle" of the Brothers Grimm .

history

Gottsbüren was already mentioned in 856 in a deed of donation from the Corvey monastery as the settlement "Buria". Via the names Gunnesburin, Gunnesburen, Hundesburen, Godesburen, the name Gottsbüren appeared for the first time in 1355.

Gottsbüren belonged to the county of Dassel from 1244 until Ludolf VI. von Dassel sold it to the Archdiocese of Mainz in 1272 . Only 60 years later, Mainz left the village to the Lippoldsberg Monastery , although this was revocable and without secular and spiritual jurisdiction .

In the Middle Ages , Gottsbüren was only marginally affected by the great devastation. The favorable traffic situation at the time on the old, important trade route "Königsstrasse" was decisive for this.

On December 31, 1970 , as part of the regional reform in Hesse, the community of Gottsbüren merged with six other previously independent communities and the small town of Trendelburg to form the expanded town of Trendelburg . They make up today's districts . The city administration is located in the core town of Trendelburg.

Place of pilgrimage

Gottsbüren is known not only for its location in the Reinhardswald, but also for the so-called "Miracle of Gottsbüren" - the rumor about the holy body of the "Lord". At that time (1330, possibly as early as 1329) the body of Christ was allegedly found in the woods around Gottsbüren and laid out in the church.

Archbishop Balduin von Trier granted the church permission for the pilgrimage on June 10, 1331. This later became a pilgrimage for the hosts , which in around 70 years until 1399 generated enormous income for the economic area around Gottsbüren. Many pilgrims stayed on the way to Santiago de Compostela to the tomb of the apostle James in Gottsbüren in order to save themselves the further journey "to the end of the world".

Pilgrimage church

The pilgrimage church , built in 1330/31, is located in the village . It was expanded in the 14th century to become today's three-aisled hall church. In March 2010, a smoldering fire inside the church left a thick layer of soot and made the church unusable for months.

Monastery and monastery

For a short time after the beginning of the pilgrimage period Gottsbüren was also home to a nuns monastery and a collegiate .

Organ building

Just as the pilgrimage and its wake pottery made Gottsbüren known beyond the borders of Hesse in the 14th and 15th centuries, so it was organ building from the 17th to the 19th centuries . There are no clear figures about the beginning of organ building in Gottsbüren, and little is known about the work of the organ builder either.
From the 17th century to 1910, Gottsbüren was the seat of several organ building families:
