history

The village was also a court of law and was first mentioned as "Luutra" on March 27, 815 in the so-called Retzbach Treaty between the Würzburg bishop Wolfgar and the Fulda abbot Ratgar . At that time Lütter was in the manor of the Fulda Monastery .

A chapel with an altar of Mary was built as early as 1455 . The patronage of the Holy Cross was added in 1509 and Maria (1509) received a side altar . In 1656 the Holy Cross was only the patronage. 1455 counted Lütter as a branch of Dietershausen . During the turmoil of the Reformation there was a change of confession. The Reformation was introduced in 1537 by the Lords of Ebersberg. A change of Catholic denomination took place again in 1603. Under Prince Abbot Balthasar von Dernbach , the inhabitants returned to the Catholic Church on the occasion of a re- Catholicization. In 1812 Lütter was raised to a parish .

From an earlier document from 812 a "Hlutra" emerges. However, this is only the first mention of the Lütter river . The 1175th anniversary in 1991 was celebrated a year too late. Another historical place name is Hart

Court of Lütter in front of the Hart

In 1368 the Fulda monastery transferred its half of the court before the Hart to those of Ebersberg called von Weyhers (Fuld. Kopiar 10, 251). Another sale was made to the von Haun men . They sold their half (180) in 1413 to the Fulda monastery. The V. Ebersberg gen. V. Weyhers and Fulda were still in possession of each half in the 18th century, the former as a Fulda fief.

During the Thirty Years' War and the Battle of Hessisch Oldendorf , sovereignty over the area of ​​the Fulda Monastery changed. When Fulda took possession of Hesse in 1633, the places Gersfeld , Hettenhausen , Lütter, Memlos, Oberlütter, Poppenhausen , Ried , Schmalnau , Thalau and Weyhers (Reimer) were included in the court of Lütter vor der Hart . In the later years of 1819 it was the Weyhers Regional Court .

In 1787 Lütter was part of the prince abbey of Fulda , Weyher's office , half of which was assigned to the ( Propstei Johannesberg and Propstei Michaelsberg ).

After the secularization of the Fulda Monastery from 1803 to 1806, Lütter belonged to the Principality of Nassau-Oranien-Fulda , Principality of Fulda, Weyher's Office. From 1814 to 1866 it belonged to the Kingdom of Bavaria Amt Gersfeld.

Modern times from 1945

Shortly before the war, 500 were high-explosive bombs during a heavy bombardment of the Allies on February 6, 1945 at 11:45 of 15 planes on Lütter. 12 villagers died and 28 were injured, some seriously. Eight residential and twelve farm buildings as well as around 30 other buildings were destroyed. In the afternoon Lütter was a field of rubble. The church was badly damaged. The Fulda - Gersfeld railway was also hit and could not be used for a long time.

It was later determined that the Allies wanted to destroy German fuel production and the transport network in the Magdeburg area . Due to poor visibility, the hydrogenation works in the Magdeburg area could not be attacked. The bomber squadrons split up into individual groups who looked for cheap dropping points on the flight home to drop their cargo, like via Lütter.

Territorial reform

On December 31, 1971, the previously independent municipality of Lütter was incorporated into the municipality of Eichenzell.
