Haddamar is a district of the cathedral city of Fritzlar in the north Hessian Schwalm-Eder district with approx. 365 inhabitants. The village is about 2.5 km north of the city center and is predominantly agricultural; the soils of the district, in the middle of the Fritzlarer Börde , are very productive. Almost half of the population is still active in agriculture today.

history

In 1209 Haddamar was first mentioned in a document (today in the Fritzlar Abbey Archive). The village belonged to the Landgraviate of Hesse and to the Gudensberg Office (notarized in 1386), whereby the lower jurisdiction was mostly given to Hessian ministerials as fiefs . In 1386 the lords of Hertinghausen are attested as owners, from 1485 to 1516 the lords of Elben . The place of justice was in the village square under a linden tree; Until the First World War there was still a stake with a collar there .

In 1427, during the last and decisive armed conflict between the Archdiocese of Mainz and the Landgraviate of Hesse, the place was burned down by Mainz troops under Gottfried von Leiningen; In the neighboring village of Lohne , there was “only” looting.

The village also suffered severe damage during the Thirty Years' War . While a total of 51 households were counted in 1585, in 1639 there were only 14 married couples and three widows, with a total of one ox and one cow. Only more than 100 years later, in 1747, were 50 households counted again.

An iron ore mine is mentioned around 1700; the mined ores were brought to Veckerhagen ad Weser (now part of Reinhardshagen ) for smelting .

On December 31, 1971, the previously independent community of Haddamar was incorporated into the city of Fritzlar.

The church

history

The village church belonged to the introduction of the Reformation in the Landgrave of Hesse shaft in 1526 to deanery Fritzlar, under the patronage of Fritzlarer St. Peter pin . With the Reformation, the patronage changed to the landgrave.

The church at that time was completely destroyed in the Thirty Years War. The new building erected afterwards burned down in 1658. The successor church was restored and expanded in 1775. In 1832, the damage to the bell tower was so great that it had to be demolished. Today's Protestant church was built between 1835 and 1837 as a classical hall building. In 1999 a new baptismal font was cut ; the historic baptismal font is now in the aisle.

Bells

A bell from Haddamar has been owned by the Hessian state in the Hesse Kassel museum landscape since 1910 . Its largest diameter is 81 cm, the height 68 cm. The minuscules between the cord lines date it to 1440. It was cast by master Gebelen in Homberg (Efze) , whose foundry mark was the Wilsnacker pilgrim mark. The crown and clapper are missing, and a crack runs from the edge to the neck.

"In acoustic terms, the bell proved to be good, except for the annoying auxiliary tone and the wrong sub-octave"

- Drach, p. 169
Breakage of the crown

The broken surfaces of the six handles are darkly patinated. As a rule, it takes a very long time for such a thick patina to form, as can be seen here. The edges of the break points have been partially smoothed by filing. This probably happened during the renovation of the suspension, but certainly before 1910, the year the museum was added. In contrast to the breakage of the handle, no thick patina has formed on the filings. This difference supports the assumption that the break in the handle was not noticed for a long time. The fact that the bell withstood the stress of ringing may be due to the "strong central bolt" mentioned by Drach.

Conversion of the suspension

The conversion of the suspension would have been pointless if the bell had already cracked at that time. The new suspension has not been preserved, but there are marks showing what it might have looked like. First the central bolt was sawn off and a hole was drilled, chiseled and filed in its place. A ring-shaped impression can be seen within the handle breakage. It marks the contact surface of a presumably spherical disc, which instead of the handle took over the torque transmission to the bell. A similar disc was presumably also on the inside. Both disks were presumably braced by a threaded bolt and nuts.

The usually yellowish bell bronze shows a white color on the filed remains of the central bolt. This indicates a significantly higher tin content than the usual 20 percent. The alloy would then be very brittle. Various shell-like outbreaks on the sharpness underline this assumption.

In 2009 the bell was cleaned in the metal restoration of the MHK. It is currently on display in the village church on the occasion of Haddamar's 800th anniversary.
