history

Location of Hosenfeld ( Hosefelt ) on a map of the Fulda bishopric from 1574

The core town of the large community of Hosenfeld existed long before it was first mentioned in a document. In the early Middle Ages, probably in the 9th century, a sideline of the lords of Schlitz auf der Hainburg (formerly Blankenberg) had built Blankenwald Castle near Blankenau and acquired the property or received it as a fief . Because the Lords of Blankenwald were also on the road as robber barons in later times, the Fulda abbot Berthold II von Leipolz had Blankenwald Castle storm and razed in 1264. As a result, the Blankenau monastery came into being .

In 1279 it was first mentioned in a deed of gift as "villa Heichelle". In the said document of Simann von Blankenwald and his mother Agnes, widow of the knight Hermann von Blankenwald (Blankeinwalt), they gave a hoof in "Heichelle" at the exit of the village, which annually yielded a pound of pennies in addition to the basic interest and other minor rights and was cultivated by a certain swan (cignus), with all rights to the Blankenau monastery (Blankenowe) for your in her husband Hermann Seelenheil, as her husband had previously determined, subject to the usufruct of the son for life. After death, the proceeds from the hooves should belong to the nuns without objection on the part of the heirs to keep an annual memorial. Hosenfeld was first mentioned in a document from the Blankenau monastery from 1284.

population

Hosenfeld is the largest part of today's large community of Hosenfeld and, according to information from the community, had a total of 1,557 inhabitants on December 31, 2007, with main and secondary residences. Of these, 1,267 residents are Catholic and 168 are Protestant. 122 inhabitants belong to no or other denominations.

religion

As good as nothing can be reported about the religious and ecclesiastical life of the residents of Hosenfeld in the period before 1270, as no historical data is available or has been found to this day. When the women's monastery in Blankenau was built together with a church in 1270, the provost there also had to look after the surrounding believers, including the Catholics in Hosenfeld. At that time, Hosenfeld still belonged to the parish of Großenlüder. It only became a separate parish in 1834.

The first news about a church (chapel) in Hosenfeld can be found in reports on visitations from 1656 and 1681. From the remains of the wall found when the old chapel was demolished, local research suggests that it was built from a small fortification ( fortified church ). This is also indicated by the wall that surrounds today's church.
