Hüpstedt is a village in Obereichsfeld and at the same time part of the municipality of Dünwald in the Unstrut-Hainich district in Thuringia .

location

Hüpstedt is located on the Dün about twelve kilometers north of Mühlhausen . State roads 1032 and 1015 meet in the district and connect with the surrounding villages. The district lies on a south-sloping plateau made of shell limestone , the highest point is the Köhlerberg ( 504.9  m above sea level ) in Kirchholz , north of Hüpstedt. To the south there is a source arm of the Helbe , which has been dry for a long time due to the strong karstification.

history

The village was first mentioned on December 7, 1124. In 1294, Hüpstedt came with the offices of Scharfenstein , Gleichenstein and Birkenstein through sale to the Archbishops of the Electorate of Mainz. In a document from 1317, the feudal right from Count Heinrich von Gleichenstein goes to Kurmainz , the brothers Albrecht and Herdeinus called von Worbis, who sell it to the Reifenstein monastery , are the fiefs . The place now belonged to the Electoral Mainz Eichsfeld . In addition to the Reifenstein monastery, the gentlemen from Hagen also owned possessions and rights in Hüpstedt. In 1272 a Vogt Heinrich von Hüpstedt is mentioned (Henricus de hopphingestedt advocatus noster), in 1573 a Burkhaus , the noble residence of the von Hagen was built in 1592. During the Peasants' War , Hüpstedter citizens were also involved in the looting of the Reifenstein monastery on April 29, 1525 and probably also in its destruction by the Mühlhausen heap on May 2. During the Reformation, from 1551 to 1578, a Protestant pastor was installed in Hüpstedt, despite various measures taken by the court lords who had become Protestant, a large number of the residents remained Catholic. In 1588, the Hague property was divided and Christoph von Hagen became the owner of Hüpstedt, Oberorschel and Niedergebra, the noble court of Hagen-Hüpstedt arose.

In 1802/03, Hüpstedt became part of Prussia , from 1807 to 1813 it belonged to the canton of Dingelstädt in the Kingdom of Westphalia and from 1815 to 1945 to the Prussian district of Worbis , which was then incorporated into the state of Thuringia. From 1946 to 1950 it belonged to the Nordhausen district and then to the Mühlhausen district in the Erfurt district .

From 1912 to 1924 potash salt was mined in Hüpstedt and a railway line was built for it, from 1913 to 1947 the place was connected to the Silberhausen – Hüpstedt railway with its own train station. The village, which has always been dominated by agriculture, also followed the path of collectivization in the GDR and, after 1989, found new forms of agricultural work. In 2009, 1550 people lived in the village.

On January 1, 1994, the communities of Beberstedt , Hüpstedt and Zaunröden merged to form the new community of Dünwald.

Origin of name

The first written mention is as Huppingestede . The first part of the word should be derived from a first name Hupping (from Hugbert) and shortened to Hüp- was. The second part of the word -stedt is the reference to a settlement, in Middle Low German also -stede . Another interpretation will be in the word part hup bulge for itself, going upwards, seen as a high place.

economy

In pre-industrial times, rural agriculture on the barren shell limestone soils of the Dün could hardly feed the local population. With handicrafts and home work as a sideline you improve your income. Today, in addition to agriculture, numerous craft businesses and service providers are based in the village. An industrial park was developed on the northeastern outskirts.

Potash mining

After exploratory drillings were successful in 1907, three shafts were sunk near Hüpstedt between 1910 and 1911 (Felsenfest shaft, Hüpstedt shaft and Beberstedt shaft). Because of the worldwide overproduction, the potash mining was stopped again in 1924. After reunification , the 800 m deep pits were finally stored and secured.
