Hattengehau is a district of Schnellmannshausen and has been part of the town of Treffurt in the Wartburg district in Thuringia since 1994 .

location

Hattengehau consists of three farmsteads, presumably built in the 17th century, and a residential house built on the outskirts of the village after 1990. The small settlement is on the federal highway 250 in the section Creuzburg - Schnellmannshausen. About 500 meters south is the Schnellmannshausen district of Volteroda , 300 meters north is the Schrapfendorf homestead, which also belongs to Schnellmannshausen . To the west of the main road, the Schnellmannshäuser Bach, introduced in a ditch, flows north to the Werra .

history

The place name Hattengehau is interpreted as the clearing settlement (clearing type "Gehau") of a "Hatto", the settlement is said to have started before 1000. In the High Middle Ages, the Schnellmannshausen valley belonged to the Lords of Treffurt , whose center of power, Normannstein Castle, is still within sight. In the 14th century, the reign of the Treffurter was violently ended, before a bloody family feud with the Spangenberg cousins raged for several decades . The areas administered as Ganerbschaft Treffurt represent only a remainder of the places previously occupied by the Landgraves of Hesse and Thuringia and the Archbishopric-Mainz troops. The part separated from the Landgraviate of Thuringia ( Amt Creuzburg ) as compensation for the war costs includes the upper Schnellmannshäuser Valley with Volteroda, Schrapfendorf and Hattengehau as well as half (upper) part of Schnellmannshausen. At the end of the 14th century, (which also places Reimannshausen and Hilvershausen) included with the exception of Schnellmannshausen all places in the valley to deserted villages become.

The resettlement was slow, probably not until the 16th century. Schrapfendorf, Hattengehau and Volteroda were parish after Schnellmannshausen, the place names were replaced by the relative indications "Unterster Hof" - for Schrapfendorf, "Mittelhof" for Hattengehau and "Oberster Hof" for Volteroda. Volteroda experienced the strongest population growth and probably also profited from its proximity to the old Heerstrasse Lange Hessen . The Hattengehau homestead was first mentioned in a document in 1786. The memorial stone for Pastor Höppner from Scherbda reminds indirectly of the hardships of small states in the 19th century. Because of the still existing border, the Schnellmannshaus Church belonged to the Kingdom of Prussia in the 19th century . Volteroda, Hattengehau, Schrapfendorf and the residents of Schnellmannshausen, who belong to Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach, had to go to church in Scherbda. Pastor Höppner died in a storm near Hattengehau. From 1945 to 1989 Hattengehau was near the border and from 1961 onwards it could only be visited with a pass. The three farmers living in Hattengehau founded their own LPG around 1960 , but it soon merged with the LPG in Schnellmannshausen, and Schrapfendorf and Volteroda were also taken over. In 1994 the homestead was incorporated into Treffurt.

Others
