Lords of Leuthorst
The Lords of Leuthorst (also Luthardessen o. Ä.) Were a wealthy family in the western foreland of the Harz Mountains , which had its ancestral seat in Lüthorst .
history
A first documented reference to the place Luthardeshusen can be found in the Corveyer traditions as early as the 9th century . It became the ancestral home of gentlemen who were later mostly written as Luthardessen, and was located south of the Homburg . There was Corvey wealthy as nearest monastery. The abbots appointed the noblemen of Homburg as fiefs. From these, the lords of Luthardessen received local rights as afterfeeds .
Around 1380 they wanted to make a donation to the Amelsen Church , so that memorials for their own family members and the befriended knights Amelunxen , Exter , Hake , Kaierde , Kerssenbrock , Minnigerode and Rebock (at times Burgmannen at Burg Lügde and Tonenburg ) should take place there. They assumed that the Corveyer feudal rights were valid in Amelsen. There, however, the noble lords of Homburg saw themselves as secular rulers and rejected the donation. Corvey's Abbot Bodo von Pyrmont asked Hildesheim Bishop Gerhard von Berg for arbitration. The Homburgers saw this as an affront, burned the goods of the Luthard Eaters and drove them out, whereby they also lost their feudal rights. Gerhard von Berg procured fiefdoms in Lindau for the displaced , so that they settled there, and in 1384 he put the Homburg in their place by getting assured that the Homburg, their ancestral seat, was a Hildesheim fiefdom. A few years later, the Lords of Luthardessen attacked the southern Homburg property from their lost ancestral home. During this action, which ended with the final withdrawal of the Luthardess, the following places went up in flames: Holzen , Lenne , Portenhagen , Vorwohle , Wangelnstedt including Emmerborn and Linnenkamp, Wickensen and six other places that fell in desolation afterwards . To protect Holzminden from the Homburgers, Abbot Bodo concluded an alliance with the Counts of Everstein in 1394 .
At their new settlement, the name of the lords of Luthardessen zu Leuthorst changed over time. They acquired new property, later gave up half of the fiefdom in Lindau and were finally represented at Lichtenstein Castle (Osterode am Harz) and in Dorste .
