Location of Lüthorst in Lower Saxony

Lüthorst is a village in southern Lower Saxony in the Northeim district , which has been a district of Dassel since 1974 .

Surname

Lüthorst was mentioned as a Luthardessen in the Corveyer traditions as early as the 9th century . The place name changed to Lüthorst (also Lüethorst ) over time.

history

The town was founded in the early Middle Ages at a crossroads. The place was in the Suilbergau and became the ancestral seat of the Lords of Luthardessen . In the Middle Ages it was the seat of a goat court . The court lords were the Counts of Dassel . The nobles of Homburg had feudal rights in and around Lüthorst. In the shadow of these two houses, the lords of Luthardessen built up property in Lüthorst until the 14th century and were able to give gifts to the Amelungsborn monastery in 1295 and to donate two bells to the local church in 1316. After the Counts of Dassel died out, the place fell under the rule of the Homburgs. The Hildesheim bishop Gerhard von Berg tried to counteract this. Even Pope Gregory XI. In 1370 he felt compelled to promise protection to the Lüthorster church and commissioned the abbot of Reinhausen monastery , Heyso von Uslar , to do so . Nevertheless, the lords of Luthardessen were driven out. Lüthorst, like Burg Greene and other places, fell to the Guelphs by inheritance . The inhabitants who remained in the village after the eviction of the Luthardess remained active in agriculture, now served other feudal lords, including Amelungsborn, and only gained independence with the Prussian agrarian reforms .

Lüthorst was incorporated into the city of Dassel on March 1, 1974.

Attractions

Medieval church tower

church

The first chapel in the village was named after Magnus von Füssen after the chronicler Johannes Letzner . This is the patron saint against wild animals, which were undesirable at the time. Around 1225 it was raised to a parish church by the Abbot of Corvey . The Lords of Luthardessen donated two bells to her in 1316, one of which is still preserved today, the other was melted down in 1942. In 1504 the choir part of the church was rebuilt and consecrated by Bishop Johannes Laasphe . The ossuary was located between the choir and the tower. It was demolished in 1728 and the new central section of the church was completed in 1732. Therefore, today's church building comes from 3 construction phases. The tower is dated to the 10th century when it was part of a castle complex. In 1910 it was reinforced on the outside with red sandstone supports.

The font was made from alabaster in 1614 . The raw stone was mined from a small hill called Olsberg or Aulsberg not far north of Lüthorst. Until 1930 the font stood at the bottom of the church tower. In 1931 it was restored by Friedrich Buhmann and brought to its current location in front of the choir . The basin on the massive foot is divided into 8 fields by small pilasters fluted with 3 furrows and ending in volutes . The 8 fields each show reliefs of figures vaulted by a pilgrim shell , 4 of which are putti and 4 evangelists. The putti remember local personalities with inscriptions, including Pastor Beisner, the successor of Johannes Letzner at this church. The Evangelists are Matthew (with the attribute of an angel), Mark (with the attribute of a lion), Luke (with the attribute of a bull) and John (with the attribute of an eagle). On the cover plate of the baptismal font, the baptismal order according to Mt 28 : 16–20 EU is attached as a Latin inscription. The church has also been equipped with a Furtwängler organ since 1850 .

The Protestant parish belongs to the Leine-Solling parish .

The church has been a cycle path church since 2016 , as the European cycle path R1 leads through the village.
