View of the Herbigshagen estate

The place Herbigshagen is located in the district of the city of Duderstadt in the district of Göttingen in Lower Saxony .

location

Herbigshagen is located about three kilometers east of Duderstadt in the upper Sulbigtal on the edge of a small plateau in the middle of the red sandstone hill country at an altitude of about 260 m. The so-called Klingenburg can be found in the immediate vicinity; it has not been proven whether it was a former castle complex. Between Herbigshagen and Duderstadt, another desert town is known in the Sulbigtal, the former village of Lerne .

History of the village and the desert

The first known documentary mention of a medieval place of residence occurs relatively late in the period around 1420 (in aurea marchia ... Herwigeshagen). For many centuries, the feudal lord of Herbishagen was the Quedlinburg monastery , which owned 12 Hufen land there. Presumably at the end of the 15th century the place had already been abandoned.

The abbesses of Quedlinburg enfeoffed various noble families from the Untereichsfeld with Herbigshagen, some of which further enfeoffed:

  • 1320 to citizens of Duderstadt
  • 1446 Tile of Bodenstein with the Klingenburg and Herbigshagen
  • 1479 Heinrich von Bodenstein enfeoffs a citizen in Duderstadt
  • 1481 and 1495 Heinrich, Tile and Andreas von Westernhagen the same citizen in Duderstadt
  • 1494 and 1496 Tile von Bodungen enfeoffed a family in Duderstadt, who sold it to the Duderstadt council in 1530
  • In 1580 after the death of Hans von Bodenstein, the abbess enfeoffed the council of Duderstadt with Herbigshagen
  • 1681 Albrecht von Westernhagen enfeoffs the council of Duderstadt with the tithe.

The Herbigshagen nature experience center

After the farmers had left the place, a manor was built there, which was mentioned in 1683. After the city of Duderstadt came into possession of the property, it finally leased the land to Duderstadt citizens until the last tenant returned the property to the city in 1990.

The Heinz Sielmann Foundation , established in 1994, established its headquarters here on the estate. The aim of the foundation is to preserve nature, flora and fauna and to introduce children and young people to a positive approach to nature. The Heinz Sielmann Natur-Erlebniszentrum Gut Herbigshagen is today a recognized regional environmental education center (RUZ) of the state of Lower Saxony. Various adventure stations are offered with an interactive nature trail, a farm garden, apiary, insect nesting wall, a wet biotope, the Ki.KA tree house and an organic farm with rare domestic and livestock breeds.

A Franz von Assisi chapel was built on the edge of the property, the resting place of Heinz Sielmann .

Origin of name

The basic word “-hagen” denotes a fenced-in area and Herbig or Herwig stands for a personal name.

Klingenburg

Just a few meters northeast of the property is the so-called Klingenburg on a hill (approx. 300 m high) . It has not been proven whether it was a former castle or a settlement. The name appears several times in documents, also in direct connection with Herbigshagen. Around 1420 the Clingenborg cum VI mansis oppidani is mentioned in Duderstadt , where those von Bodenstein were enfeoffed by the Abbess of Quedlinburg, in 1446 to Tile von Bodenstein among others. In 1568 Hans von Bodenstein was enfeoffed with the Klingenborgk, Herwigshagen and other goods. After the von Bodenstein family died out, it was not the Wintzingerode that was enfeoffed with the Klingenburg, but the city of Duderstadt.

The part of the name 'blades' probably refers to bells.
