Hasborn

Hasborn in the Eifel is a municipality in the district of Bernkastel-Wittlich in Rhineland-Palatinate . It belongs to the Verbandsgemeinde Wittlich-Land .

history

Hasborn was first mentioned in 1341 in a document from Elector Baldwin . The place name probably results from "Havekesbrunno", which means hawk well. This is referred to in the legend book of the Wittlich district. Another interpretation of the name refers to a Franconian named Hasso who built a courtyard at a well ("Born"). At this fountain an old Roman road led past, traces of which can still be seen in the deeply cut ravine , the "Holg" means.

Hasborn probably originated in the submerged village of Ritzeroth, which was last mentioned in 1357 and was located in a side valley of the Sammetbach on today's road to Oberscheidweiler . Like many other villages in the area, Ritzeroth must have died out due to the plague. The field name “Reizat” is reminiscent of this lost village. As an imperial knighthood village, Hasborn was not subject to the local sovereigns, but to an imperial knight. From 1726 Hasborn was a station on the Trier - Koblenz stagecoach line. This line operated until 1879.

From 1794 Hasborn was under French rule, in 1815 the place was assigned to the Kingdom of Prussia at the Congress of Vienna . Since 1946 it has been part of the then newly formed state of Rhineland-Palatinate.

Municipal council

The council in Hasborn consists of twelve council members, who in the local elections on May 26, 2019 in a majority vote were elected, and the honorary mayor as chairman.

Culture and sights

Natural monuments

Hasborner Sauerbrunnen

In the Sammetbachtal between Hasborn and Oberscheidweiler, directly on the banks of the Sammetbach, the Hasborner Sauerbrunnen is located , a spring emerging from Devonian rocks. The spring water is brown in color and has a sour taste. Dissolved iron is responsible for the color and carbon dioxide of volcanic origin is responsible for the taste .

Oak grove

According to tradition, the oak grove, almost 400 year old oak trees in the center of Hasborn, was created during the Thirty Years War , when marauding gangs made it impossible for the farmers to drive the pigs to pasture in the surrounding oak forests. Instead, the villagers gathered the acorns in the forest and then gave them to the animals on the outskirts as food. Some fruits are said to have been worked into the soil by the four-legged friends so that germs and saplings could develop.
