Kirrode

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Kirrode or Kyrrode desert is located in the area of ​​the city of Leinefelde-Worbis in the Eichsfeld district in Thuringia .

location

The former place is located about 1.5 kilometers south-east of Leinefelde and one kilometer northwest of Bektiven an der Ohne , a tributary of the Wipper . The Gotha – Leinefelde railway line and the 249 federal road now lead through the deserted area or its former area.

History of the settlement

The place Kirrode was first mentioned around the year 1200. There is no evidence of whether there was a castle in the place on an old street. At least a fortified manor house can be assumed, since several documents were issued and sealed here (1294 “actum in Kirrode”).

At the end of the 13th century, the noble family von Marchia owned the village as an after-fief of the Counts of Beichlingen , and from 1294 the Archbishops of Mainz were rulers . In 1300 Hugo von Marchia, Burgmann auf dem Scharfenstein , sold the fiefdom of the village with all its accessories (meadows, pastures, fields, forests, fish pond and mill) to the patronage of the church and the blood court to the Reifenstein monastery . In 1303 Friedrich Graf von Beichlingen left all his rights in Kirrode to the monastery. In 1303 the parish church was transferred to the monastery, the pastor's place of residence moved to Leinefelde in 1308.

In 1428 the village was probably destroyed in fighting with the city of Göttingen and Otto II of Braunschweig . After that it was only called a desert. The residents of Kirrode had mostly relocated to Bektiven and cultivated the land from there.

With the implementation of the Eichsfeld plan on May 14, 1959, parts of the cotton mill and the residential areas of the Leinefelder Südstadt were built on the former district of Kirrode in the following years . A commercial area in the south of the city is named after the submerged place (Vor Kirrode / Im Entenphul).
