Höringhausen is the third largest in terms of population of ten districts in the city of Waldeck in the Waldeck-Frankenberg district in northern Hesse .
history
According to an old village chronicle, the place is said to have received its name from the court of "Sachsen Horo". This, like the first mention of it around 1042, cannot yet be documented, but on the west side of the village the name of the hallway suggests the “old house” as a possible place of residence. Until 1314 the place was owned by the Counts of Ziegenhain . This year they gave the village to the Lords of Itter as a fief . As early as 1326, the lords of Itter pledged Vogtei, court and church patronage Höringhausen to the Counts of Waldeck . Through a contract with the Archdiocese of Mainz in 1357, the place came into the possession of the Landgraves of Hesse . In 1383 the place, with the Hessian half of the Itter lordship , became pledged property of the Wolff von Gudenbergs .
Located in the early Saxon Ittergau , later conquered by the Franks, Höringhausen, in the middle of the emerging county of Waldeck , remained under the Itter rule . It was an enclave in the county and later the principality of Waldeck for centuries .
In 1866 Höringhausen came to Prussia with the former Itter rule . It was not until the Free State of Waldeck was annexed to Prussia on April 1, 1929, that Höringhausen belonged to the Eisenberg district . In 1942 it was combined with two other former Waldeck districts to form the Waldeck district .
On October 1, 1971, the previously independent municipality of Höringhausen was incorporated into the city of Waldeck.
Moated castle
The Höringhausen moated castle was first mentioned in 1314 . By whom and when it was built is not clear, but probably by the Counts of Ziegenhain . In 1383 the lords of Eppe and later the lords of Cratzenstein are mentioned as owners.
It was a fortified stone house, a kemenate , which was surrounded by a moat ( graft ). It is mentioned in a document around 1500. After that it seems to have gradually deteriorated. The cellar was still there in 1910 and was used as an ice cellar . The coat of arms stone comes from the gate of the castle property that was demolished in 1971 ; the coats of arms on the stone are those of the noble families "Wolff von Gudenberg" and " von Schachten ".
enclave
In 1326 the noblemen of Itter pledged Vogtei, court and church patronage Höringhausen to the Counts of Waldeck. At that time, Höringhausen was a larger place with the seat of a court and a bailiwick, to which the places Wammeringhausen, Rissinghausen and Herzhausen belonged. The settlements of Wammeringhausen, Rissinghausen, Eltrichhausen, Brüninghausen, Neudorf, Altenhagen, Rudolfshagen, Rickersbruch and Schiebenscheid, located in the area around the village and abandoned in the Middle Ages, also belonged to the place. Documents and the traditional field names prove this.
The Counts of Waldeck pledged Höringhausen in 1362 to Arnold IV. Wolff von Gudenberg , whose son Thile, as a feudal lord of the Landgraves of Hesse, acquired the Itter lordship in 1381/1383 after the Lords of Itter died out . After the Wolff von Gudenberg had to give up their lien over the Itter rule in the 16th century under pressure from the Counts of Waldeck and the Landgraves of Hesse, they withdrew to their estates in Höringhausen. In 1568 Landgrave Wilhelm V gave them half of the village of Höringhausen as a fiefdom and allowed them to add the Itterian lion to their coat of arms. Later they owned the entire village of Höringhausen.
Even today people like to tell the story that Count von Waldeck Höringhausen is said to have lost in a card game, but that is a legend. The Counts of Waldeck pledged Höringhausen as early as 1362 (see previous section) and never redeemed this pledge, so that Höringhausen remained in the possession of the Landgraves of Hesse until the later Principality of Waldeck was dissolved in 1918.
Border and landmarks from 1753
Repeated border disputes between the Principality of Waldeck and the Landgraves of Hessen-Darmstadt led to the setting of boundary stones around the district in 1753, thus marking the state border . 177 of these boundary stones were set along the 28 km long border. Most of them are still there today and are under monument protection .
church
First church
The first church was probably built in the middle of the 11th century. In the village chronicle it is mentioned: "On July 27th 1043 Abbot Druthmar (1015-1046) of Corvey gifted the church of" Saint Magnus "in Horohusen ...", but this information is doubtful because it gives indications that the place "Horohusen" is meant by today's Niedermarsberg , a district of Marsberg . In addition, the second church mentions that the church was dedicated to "John the Baptist" . (Further research on this is ongoing.)
Second church
In 1735 the first church was demolished because it was in disrepair, and it had become too small for the growing population. The new church was built in the same place. Only the lower part of the bell cage has been preserved from the previous building. The church tower burned down and destroyed in the Thirty Years War (1618–1648) and was rebuilt in 1674. This building is documented in detail in the church book of 1731 by the pastor Johann Henrich Moebius. The wooden pulpit is the work of Immigrather houses wood sculptor Josias Wolrat Brützel .
On February 1, 1739, the patron saint of the church and feudal owner of the village, Colonel Johann Caspar Wolff von Gudenberg from the Electorate of Cologne , asked the Landgrave of Hesse-Darmstadt (the place had belonged to Hesse-Darmstadt since 1639 ) for permission for a solemn church consecration for the 24th June, the day of John the Baptist , because on this day the village had the right to free shooting and the first church was dedicated to John the Baptist.
synagogue
The construction of the first synagogue is mentioned in 1792. In 1841 it was discovered that the building was in disrepair and could no longer be repaired. The Jewish families then collected for a new building. In 1854 this was realized as a Jewish community center with a synagogue, school and teacher's apartment. After the Jewish population had declined, the building was sold in 1937 to the Höringhausen savings and loan association (later Raiffeisenbank Freienhagen-Höringhausen, now the Waldecker Bank). This sale prevented it from being destroyed in the November pogrom in 1938 . Today, a memorial plaque on the building, which has now been heavily modified, reminds of the former synagogue.
