Hassegau
The Hassegau (also Hassago, Hosgau ) is the area between the places Mansfeld , Naumburg , Halle and Wettin and belonged to the Hersfeld mission area.
A common derivation of the name from the Hoohseoburg (Hocseburg, Ocsioburg) , which was mentioned several times in the middle of the 8th century , which for a long time was equated with Seeburg Castle on the Süßen See in Hassegau , is very unlikely, especially since this complex according to recent studies rather than the Hünenburg near Watenstedt on the Heeseberg .
The northern Hassegau became the nucleus of the County of Mansfeld .
On September 26, 949, at the request of his brother Heinrich and Count Ekkehard , King Otto I left part of his property in Hassegau, on the border with the Diocese of Merseburg in Count Theti's county, to his vassal Hohstein and his wife Chintodruf for life the condition of relapse to the royal family.
