Hertingshausen (Züschen)
Hertingshausen was a village in the north Hessian Schwalm-Eder district that had fallen into "desolate" form before the turn of the 15th century . Its location is assumed to be around 1.5 km southwest of Züschen , around 450 m south of the 3218 road to Wellen . There, in a group of trees in the Feldmark, the ruins of the Kreuzkirche have been preserved as the remains of the desert, with remains of the choir with pillars and sacrament niche from the 14th century.
The place is first mentioned in 1309 when Hermann von Grune donated his quarter of the village "Hertingeshusen" to the Petersstift in Fritzlar . The second and last mention of "Hertingeshusen prope Tzusschene" took place in 1390.
The place may have been the ancestral seat of the Lower Hessian knight dynasty of the Hertingshausen family, whose members in the Züschen- Naumburg - Wolfhagen area played a significant role in the 13th to 17th centuries and whose most famous offspring, Friedrich III. von Hertingshausen , one of the murderers of Duke Friedrich von Braunschweig-Lüneburg , was. But it is also possible that the family lived in what is now the district of Baunatal of the same name.
