Herbsen is a district of the town of Volkmarsen on the edge of the Volkmarser basin with just under 350 inhabitants in the north Hessian district of Waldeck-Frankenberg .

history

The first written mention of the place can be found around 900 in a directory of the Corvey monastery , but the area was settled long before. In the forests around Herbsen there are settlement remains from the Stone Age and over 40 preserved barrows from the Bronze Age . After the turn of the century in 1900, many finds from the first settlement period were made here. There are also menhirs , sacrificial stones and stone sculptures in the woods .

The plague from 1348 to 1351 made all the inhabitants extinct, and the place remained a desert for almost 100 years . The year 1476 was decisive for the further development of the place, when Herbsen, owned by the Counts of Waldeck , was transferred to the Antoniterkloster Grünberg , with the requirement to settle foreign settlers. In 1486 the monks then had their own settlement in the village. In 1493 Herbsen came to the Arolsen Monastery . In 1526/1527 the village became the property of the Waldeck counts again due to the Reformation , as a result of which all the monasteries in Waldeck were expropriated and secularized .

During the Thirty Years' War , Herbsen was often robbed and pillaged by the marching war hordes. In 1625 the plague hit the village again and claimed numerous victims.

The Herbser Church was built between 1653 and 1657 under Pastor Jeremias Kleinschmidt. The church is in possession of some valuable old paintings, as well as a host ntellers from the year 1400 and a gold chalice from the same period, the one of the most beautiful "church utensils" throughout the Waldeck-Frankenberg applies.

In 1694 Herbsen had a mill from which today's Mühlenhof developed.

In 1970 Herbsen was named the most beautiful village in Hesse in the competition “Our village should be more beautiful” .

On August 1, 1972, the previously independent municipality of Herbsen was incorporated into the municipality of Volkmarsen by virtue of state law as part of the regional reform in Hesse .
