Heimarshausen is a district of the small town of Naumburg in northern Hesse with around 450 inhabitants.

location

Heimarshausen is surrounded by forest in the north Hessian mountainous region at an altitude of 255 m, about 30 km southwest of Kassel between Wolfhagen and Fritzlar . As the southernmost town in the Kassel district and the city of Naumburg, Heimarshausen is located on the district borders with the Schwalm-Eder district and the Waldeck-Frankenberg district . The village image is characterized by half-timbered buildings with beautiful tendril carvings and twisted columns. The place has a heated outdoor pool .

history

The place was first mentioned in 1180 as "Hemmerickishusen" in a document from Hasungen Monastery . 1253 a place with the name "Gershusen" ( Gershausen ) in the west of the village is referred to as a desert . In 1312 "Heimericheshusen" was pledged to the Counts of Waldeck for 300 marks of pure silver . The patronage of the parish church belonged to the Petristift Fritzlar from 1357 at the latest . From 1376 "Hepmershusen" was a landgrave village. During a campaign of revenge by the Duke of Braunschweig and the Landgrave of Hesse , in response to the murder of Duke Friedrich of Braunschweig and Lüneburg , the entire village was burned down in 1400. From 1443 to 1448 "Epmershusen" was the Mainz fiefdom of Reinhard von Dalwigk . Fifty years later, in 1498, the village (with court) is mentioned as a Hessian fief of the Meysenbug family . It is also reported in the village history that there were 32 house seats in Heimarshausen in 1650 . The Lords of Meysenbug held the court, the embarrassing jurisdiction exercised the Hessian landgraves .

In 1810 the noble family von Meysenbug died out (now with a different spelling); the last of the family, Heinrich von Meysenbug , was buried in the family's hereditary funeral in the old church in Heimarshausen.

On December 31, 1971 Heimarshausen was incorporated into the city of Naumburg.

The Protestant Church

Engelhard's plan of the church

In 1813 the steeple of the old church was badly damaged by a lightning strike, in 1828 it collapsed and also destroyed surrounding buildings. From 1833 to 1835 the new Protestant church, designed by Daniel Engelhard , was built on the western edge of the village . It is a classicist building made of sand - quarry stone and is unique in the region with its octagonal floor plan; it thus resembles the Karlskirche in Kassel . The eight Tuscan round columns support a circumferential gallery and the roof. The oldest bronze bell, dating from 1599, weighs around 220 kg. It is decorated with an arabesque frieze; below that there are four reliefs with the resurrection of Christ. The organ was built in 1834/35 by Johann Wilhelm Schmerbach the Younger (1795–1872) from the Schmerbach family of organ builders . Two memorial plaques name the "fighters for the fatherland from Heimarshausen" of the war in 1814 and the "fatherland defenders against France 1870 and 71, the community of Heimarshausen".
