Geographical location

Itzenhain is a closed village with regular features at the mouth of the valley. The church is located in the middle of the old town center, which formerly had an approximately square floor plan. The district road 105 runs through the village. Bellnhausen , which consists of a former domain and surrounding houses and has belonged to Itzenhain since 1928, is about 500 meters south .

history

The place name went through considerable changes over the centuries, from the first mention as Eichagene in 1197 in a property register of the Spieskappel monastery via Eizenhein (around 1240), Eitzenhagen (1253), Enzinhain (1312) and Eyzenhayn (1314, 1319) to the present day Itzenhain (1585).

Around 1240 Werner von Rupertshausen (from 1263 Werner von Münchhausen) exchanged his property in Itzenhain with the Haina monastery . Around the same time, the monastery received shares of goods from Johann Drussel and his heirs as well as Arnold von Lindenborn and his heirs in Itzenhain and associated fields in the district of Itzenhain. Finally, Ludwig von Merzhausen exchanged his fields in Itzenhain with the monastery and his right to the marrow forest of the village for a hoof in today's deserted Witgenhain . In 1263, the Haina monk Konrad von Hörnsheim informed us that the monastery had exchanged the goods exchanged for the knight Gerlach von Itzenhain, including the church patronage of Werner von Münchhausen, for goods from the monastery in Schwarzenborn , then owned it for more than 20 years and finally to I exchanged the same right to the knight Gerlach von Itzenhain. In 1314 the von Schleier bequeathed income from their property in Itzenhain to the Haina Monastery, which their heirs were allowed to exchange for other interest of the same value . In 1322 the lords of Itzenhain gave the monastery an interest from their property in the village. In 1557 the Itzenhain farm, managed by four fiefdoms , belonged to the Lords of Grifte and Reinhard Schenk as the heirs of the Lords of Bellnhausen. In 1569 the tithe was owned by Reinhard Schenk and Hans von Grifte.

Territorial reform

As part of the regional reform in Hesse , Itzenhain became a district of the community of Gilserberg on April 1, 1972.

Dish at the cold hornbeam

On the northern edge of the district, just below the east side of the main summit of the cold hornbeam , lies the deserted cold hornbeam , where the court of the cold hornbeam , mentioned several times in the 14th century , met.

Bellnhausen

The Bellnhausen State Domain , about 500 meters south of Itzenhain, formed from the estate belonging to the former Bellnhausen Castle in 1867 , was dissolved in 1928. The farm and the small settlement were incorporated into Itzenhain. The previous district of Bellnhausen came mainly to the municipality of Itzenhain, but also to Winterscheid and Appenhain . The small castle was demolished in the 18th or early 19th century; Only small remains of the wall and parts of the square moat are preserved.

religion

The construction of a parish church in Itzenhain is mentioned around 1263. From 1569 and later it was a branch of Sachsenhausen , today both places belong to the parish of Lischeid . The current church was built in 1754/55. The organ was consecrated on July 22nd, 1913 and was a gift from the Wiera parish . The sound cover of the pulpit is artistically designed, it shows a pelican feeding its young with its own blood.
