Lüttershausen is a village in the municipality of Windeck in the Rhein-Sieg district in North Rhine-Westphalia .

location

Lütter Hausen is located in Bergisch Land between Eitorf in Siegtal and Schoenberg in Bröltal on a north-facing / east side of the valley of the flute Erather creek, nestled in a landscape conservation area . The historic Nutscheidstraße, popularly known as “Römerstraße” or “ahl Stroße”, passes in the immediate vicinity and runs over the Nutscheid ridge .

Lüttershausen together with the neighboring villages Altenherfen, Gutmannseichen, Ober- and Niederrieferath and Ringenstellen form the Herchener Höhe . Until the 1960s, village life was dominated by agriculture . There was hardly a family that did not keep livestock as a sideline for agriculture. After centuries of dairy farming, the last dairy cows had to leave the village in 2003. Today only horses, sheep and some poultry are kept. Where there used to be arable farming, you can only find grassland today. Most of the pastures are leased and farmed by foreign farmers.

history

Lüttershausen is first mentioned as Luterhusen in 1427/30 . An entry in the miracle book of the church in Hilgenroth (Westerwald) reads: "heredes Rost de Luterhusen unam candelam", translated "heredes (Erbe) Rost (name for blacksmith) from Luterhusen donates a candle".

1565 (July 17th) Lüttershausen is named in a list about "... sambtliche specified freyen or Dienstreuter in gerutem Ambt Blanckenberg ..." as follows: "Johan auf der Hardt from because of his estate to Lüttershaußen ...". The goods in Hardt (near Ruppichteroth) and Lüttershausen served a certain Johan Stommel in 1565 and later, after 1594, his heirs as saddle goods . One of the heirs, Johan Stommel (junior) zu Harth, named in 1612/16, was probably a mayor of Ruppichteroth .

In a parish map from 1644, a boundary stone is drawn between the “Wingenbacher Büsch” and the “Lüthershäuser Büsch”, which marks the boundary between Eitorf and Herchen.

In 1789 Lüttershausen was part of the Honschaft Höhe and belonged to the parish of Herchen (Sieg) alongside the Honors Herchen , Röcklingen and Stromberg . Herchen was then in the Blankenberg office in the Duchy of Berg. Today Lüttershausen belongs to the municipality of Windeck in the Rhein-Sieg district. Until the municipal reorganization in 1969, Lüttershausen was a place of the (old) municipality of Herchen . In 1830 a statistical survey was carried out by the mayor of Herchen. According to that, 78 inhabitants lived in the hamlet of Lüttershausen at that time.

On June 20, 1901, 5 men from Lüttershausen and Rieferath had to answer before the jury court in Bonn for attempted manslaughter and hunting offenses. They were redacted on Sunday, January 13, 1901, by Gottfried B., state forester from Rotscheroth, municipality of Ruppichteroth, in the forest near Lüttershausen. There was an exchange of fire in which the forester was injured in the head, hand and chest by a load of deer posts. One of the perpetrators shot a shot in the coat. Crown Prince Wilhelm of Prussia, who was studying law in Bonn at the time, also took part in the negotiation, which was followed with great interest by the public. After 6 hours of negotiation, the verdict was passed. The two main perpetrators, the day laborer Peter Wilhelm G. and the carpenter Franz Josef S. from Lüttershausen, received 5 years and 1 month and 5 years and 2 months in prison. The 3 remaining farm workers, Johann G. (brother of Peter Wilhelm G.) from Lüttershausen and the farm worker Gottfried H. from Rieferath, were each sentenced to 2 months in prison. Peter D., factory worker, also from Rieferath, got away with 14 days in prison.

Probably the first aerial photo of Lüttershausen was taken on February 22, 1945. Taken by a US reconnaissance plane, the original is today in the archive of the "Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland".

Settlement

It can be assumed that the settlement of the village took place via the Nutscheidstraße, as in earlier times the swampy valleys were not accessible to traffic. Due to its name, Lüttershausen can be counted among the older settlements in the area around the Nutscheid. The foundation could fall during the Carolingian development phase in the 8th century.

Naming

The place name formed from "Lütters" and "hausen" is explained according to H. Dittmaier as follows: "Lütter (s)" is a modification of the personal name "Liuthar". The ending "-hausen" denotes a settlement of several residential buildings. For the Bergisches Land, Dittmaier assumes that the so-called "house names" originated between the 10th and 11th centuries, although it cannot be ruled out that there were settlements there before that. More recent name research (Alfred Hunold) see a pre-Germanic origin. According to this, the name "Lüttershausen" can be derived from the Vasconic (Basque) language stem and interpreted in this way, quote: lup-etza = mud, t = p, tar-teka = in parts, -hausen> in parts mud.
