history

In 1208 an estate "Huserberg" was mentioned in the area. Linguists therefore assume that in Old High German it means “by the houses”.

The place was mentioned in a document in 1347 on the occasion of a sale of goods by Duke Ernst to the St. Blasius Northeim monastery . The abbot of this monastery bought property in the Husum field from the Lords of Sebexen in 1353 .

The monastery of St. Alexandri had two hooves here for an unknown time , with which the city of Northeim loaned it in 1417 and 1494 against inheritance interest. The mention of 1494 was also the last, as the place had meanwhile fallen desolate. The replacement of the inheritance contract did not take place until 1840 against payment of around 26 thalers.

The Lords of Plesse owned six Hufen, which the city of Northeim still held as a fief in 1484. In 1449 the Lords of Plesse allowed the Northeim monastery to create a fish pond in the Feldmark.

In 1450 a contract was signed between the abbot of Northeim Monastery and the Lords of Uslar , because the water from the Hammenstedter Bach not only fed the pond, but also the mill in Hammenstedt, which was operated by the Lords of Uslar. The pond system was enlarged around 1470 for the purpose of fish farming, which was made possible by raising capital at Kaland St. Georg Göttingen.

The ponds that were created have largely been preserved. Today they are part of the Husum Valley and offer u. a. some species of ducks and z. Some of the habitat is also exposed fish, but is partly eutrophicated from the edge zones due to the intensive agriculture in the area .
