Hundshausen is a village in the north Hessian Schwalm-Eder district and a district of the community Jesberg .

geography

Hundshausen is located in a side valley of the Treisbach on the state road L 3145 Jesberg- Schwalmstadt , about 2 km (as the crow flies) south of Jesberg, and has about 275 inhabitants. The district covers 879 hectares . The Richerode estate, located about 1.5 km west of the village, belongs to Hundshausen .

history

The place is mentioned for the first time in 969, in a deed of donation from Emperor Otto I , in which he gave the Hunoldeshuson estate, previously held as a fief by the Archbishop of Mainz, to the Mauritius monastery in Magdeburg . The place name has undergone multiple changes over the centuries, in some cases probably only as a result of the idiosyncratic rendering by the writers of various documents and registers: Hunoldishusen (1351), Hunoldyshusen (1422), Hundtshusenn (1458), Hunzhußen (1477); Huntzhusen (1480), Hunßhusen (1495), Hunshusen (1514), Honßhußen (1518), Hinshusen (1522), Hunshaussen (1528), Huntzhußen (1531), Hunßhausen (1537), Hontzshaussen (1548), Hundeshausenn (1549), and Hundtshausen (1650).

In 1351 the village was again owned by the Archdiocese of Mainz, and Archbishop Heinrich III. gave the Jesberg castle loan in Hundshausen to the knight Johann von Falkenberg called Gruszing (also Johann Grüßing), from the Densberg branch of the von Falkenberg family , to whom the Mainz castle Jesberg was pledged and which was pledged as early as 1349 by the Mainz monastery administrator Kuno von Falkenstein (with the consent of Archbishop Gerlach ) had been appointed hereditary castle man at Densberg Castle . The male line of Johann Grüßing's descendants died out in the first half of the 15th century, and the lords of Linsingen inherited the lion's share of the property in Hundshausen, but sold parts of it between 1458 and 1583. In the 17th century, the Petersstift in Fritzlar claimed it the entire property in Hundshausen again; the dispute over this was not settled until 1657. The Lords of Löwenstein also had an estate in Hundshausen, probably inherited from the Linsingen, which they gave as a hereditary fiefdom from 1686 to 1847. The tenth in Hundshausen, held as a fief of Mainz or the Petersstift in Fritzlar, belonged to the Lords of Linsingen at least since 1422. The Fritzlarer Stift confirmed in 1477 the enfeoffment of Hans von Linsingen with the Hundshaus tithes; a further confirmation of this lending to the Linsinger is notarized in 1537. But the Linsingen also sold parts of their tithe rights in the course of time, and in 1586 they only had half of their tithe, the other half belonged to the Landgraviate of Hessen-Kassel .

On January 1, 1974, the previously independent municipality Hundhausen the course was municipal reform in Hesse powerful state law in the greater community Jesberg incorporated . A local district was set up for Hundshausen .

Administrative affiliation

Hundshausen belonged to the Mainz office of Neustadt and to the Jesberg court, which was pledged to the Linsinger and finally came under the sovereignty of Hessen-Kassel in 1586. The lower jurisdiction of the Jesberg court, now in the Hessian office of Borken , was then ¾ in Hessian and ¼ in Linsinger hands. When the male line of the Hessian Linsinger died out in 1721, their property, including that in Hundshausen, fell back to the Landgraviate of Hessen-Kassel as a settled fiefdom. From 1723 to 1753 the village was owned by Prince Maximilian von Hessen-Kassel (1689–1753), the third son of Landgrave Karl von Hessen-Kassel, who gave Maximilian the rule of Jesberg in 1723 as Paragium . In 1726 Maximilian also bought the entire tithe to Hundshausen, and from 1747 he also held the Jesberg court, with Hundshausen. After Maximilian's death, the village and the Jesberg court came back to Hessen-Kassel.

In 1807 Hundshausen became part of the canton and the Jesberg Peace Court in the Napoleonic Kingdom of Westphalia . In 1814, after the restitution of the Electorate of Hesse-Kassel, the village again belonged to the Borken district , from 1821 to the Fritzlar district , renamed the Fritzlar-Homberg district in 1932 , renamed the Fritzlar-Homberg district in 1939, and in 1974 the Schwalm-Eder district rose.

Population development

In 1575 43 households are reported . During the Thirty Years' War, the village, like the entire area, suffered severe damage: in 1639 only 17 married and 4 widowed household members as well as 2 horses, 12 cows, 6 oxen and 13 pigs were counted. Only a hundred years later, in 1742, with 49 houses, the level of 1575 was reached again.

Culture and sights

church

Ev. Church in Hundshausen

A small church or chapel must have existed as early as 1471 because a bell is reported. In 1499 a rector is declared. The church was parish off to Jesberg until the middle of the 16th century and from 1575 was a branch church of Jesberg. The church patronage was from 1568 to 1721 by the Lords of Linsingen, Prince Maximilian of Hesse from 1723-1753, and then the Landgraves of Hesse-Kassel.

The old church was already very dilapidated in 1719. In 1738 a new building was erected, a rectangular building with a base and wall corners made of sandstone, walls made of quarry stone, and a double-stepped and hipped roof covered with tiles. The church tower was clad and covered with slates . The construction was significantly improved in 1825 and thoroughly renovated inside in the 1960s.

Hundshausen Castle

In the vicinity of the village there was a small castle complex, probably built in the 10th century, with a rectangular floor plan, rampart and moat. Building foundations and trench remains were discovered in 1876 and further explored through excavations in 1968; ceramic and brick fragments from the 10th to 15th centuries were found. The castle stood about 500 meters southeast of today's village in Wiesengrund, east of the country road.

On December 22nd and 23rd, 1466, Burkhard von Hundshausen and Eckhard von Hundshausen were among the Hessian knights who, at a court day chaired by Count Wolrad I. von Waldeck and the knight Bodo von Rodenhausen, in a dispute between the Ganerbe of the Busecker valley and the knight Gerhard Ruser von Buseck sat in court. Presumably these two are members of the House of Linsingen, who are named here after their castle seat.
