About this picture

history

The first documentary mention goes back to a deed of donation from Kirchberg from 1146 . Two older mentions, around 724 at the time of Bonifatius (as Heiten ) and around 950, cannot be documented. Heuthen is one of the oldest villages in the region. The place belonged to Kurmainz until the secularization , from 1815 to 1945 the place was part of the Prussian province of Saxony.

1945 to 1949 the place was part of the Soviet occupation zone and from 1949 part of the GDR. From 1961 until the turnaround and reunification in 1989/1990, the place was close to the inner-German border.

Culture and sights

In Heuthen there is a branch church of the parish of St. Cosmas and Damian in Geisleden , St. Nikolaus (built 1745–1749). It is considered to be one of the most beautiful baroque village churches in Eichsfeld. Every year in the Advent season there is a nativity scene exhibition with over 400 images.

In the Middle Ages, the deserted area of ​​Werdingshausen stretched along the boundary to the eastern neighboring town of Kefferhausen , and the pilgrimage chapel located there testifies to its existence today. From 1910 the path to the chapel was upgraded to an avenue with around 100 rare Swedish whitebeam trees . This is now considered a natural monument .
