history

The first documentary mention took place in 1209 as Hayldeshusen in an income register of the Petersstift in Fritzlar . In the following 350 years, the name of the place, which was probably a manorial estate ( villa ) and an associated farm workers' settlement and which is already described as abandoned in 1339, appears in the absence of fixed orthography rules , in a variety of changing forms. The place was first owned by secular lords, then increasingly by church institutions, as the few documentary evidence that has survived shows.

In 1263 Count Gottfried III. von Reichenbach (~ 1210–1279), the last male representative of the Reichenbach branch of the Counts of Reichenbach , transferred the tithe of seven Hufen Hersfelder Land to Hildradishusin / Hildredishusin to the Spieskappel monastery . According to this, the Lords of Falkenberg , a branch of the Lords of Lever that has called themselves since around 1270 , owned the place or parts of it: in 1326/27 the knight Johann von Falkenberg and his brothers handed over to their brother Hermann, canon in Fritzlar and Pastor in Mardorf , their goods in Heldershusen. Hermann von Falkenberg, now domkustos become Fritzlar, 1332 equipped the Lady altar in the crypt of the local collegiate church with four hooves to Helder Husen from. This year Heldershusen is still referred to as a villa , but as early as 1339 the place was referred to as villa quondam (former village or estate), when the inhabitants of Unshausen waived their goods at Heldershusin opposite Fritzlar Abbey. After that, the Petersstift Fritzlar seems to have been the most important landowner in the field of the abandoned village, as numerous tithe lendings by the monastery prove until 1761.
