Landenhausen is a district of the municipality of Wartenberg in the Vogelsbergkreis in central Hesse with around 1400 inhabitants. The places Landenhausen and Angersbach together form the municipality of Wartenberg in the Vogelsberg district in Central Hesse .

geography

Landenhausen is about 272 meters above sea level on the eastern foothills of the Vogelsberg , about 17 kilometers west of the baroque city of Fulda and 8 kilometers southeast of the city of Lauterbach (Hesse) in a wooded low mountain range. Neighboring places ( clockwise ) are in the north immediately Angersbach (jointly the municipality of Wartenberg), in the east the health resort Bad Salzschlirf , Eichenau and in the southeast Müs (municipality Grossenlüder ), which are assigned to the district of Fulda . In the southwest, Landenhausen borders on Stockhausen (town of Herbstein ) and in the west on Rudlos (district town Lauterbach). The main wind directions in Wartenberg are north-east and south-west.

history

Origin of name

The form of the name indicates that the place has its beginnings between 700 and 800 AD: The name means something like "houses or settlement of Lando". It can be assumed that the founder of the settler group must have been called Lando . It was customary at that time to name a settlement after its founder.

Historical forms of name: The following names are documented. Landenhausen is mentioned for the first time on September 20, 812 as Lantenhusen in the Codex Eberhardi , which is a comprehensive list of the numerous goods belonging to the imperial monastery of Fulda . The records from 1270 Landenhusen and from 1372 Landinhußen are further evidence.

Early middle ages

The first settlers had a leader whose job it was to protect the first generation of settlers from danger. Therefore it stands to reason that a castle or a fortified building must have stood near the village. In the meadow area "Im Burggipfel " or "Am Burggipfel" below the village there are foundations made of sandstones that are still hidden in the ground. Local residents reported on the excavations in the area and described having seen foundations in the area. During the excavations, sandstone walls (approx. 40 cm thick) came to light and you could see that they enclosed a space of approx. 40 m². In addition, sandstone slabs were recognized, which marked a forecourt and an archway, not far from which horseshoes and horse bones were found. The castle entrance must have been in the direction of the village. The Riedesel archive shows that the ruins of a "ruined castle" that were still recognizable in the 18th century were cleared away by a mayor . It was probably a kind of moated castle , especially since the area around the meadow is still criss-crossed by several watercourses and in some places there is swampy wasteland. However, documentary evidence for this castle is very scarce, which suggests that this episode of small castles and fortified places from the Frankish royal era was abandoned very soon.

Lords of Landenhausen and Angersbach

The names of Heinrich von Landenhausen (local nobility is also known in Latin as Heinricus de Landenhusen villicus in 1270 ) and his son Herold von Landenhausen come from a document from 1114 . In the 12th century the von Landenhausen family still existed. The mention of Friedrich von Angersbach in the same document also suggests that the Lords of Landenhausen and von Angersbach were close. Since there are no documents that could give any information about the further life of the von Landenhausen family, it is assumed that the von Landenhausen family members of the Angersbach family ( named von Wartenberg from 1232 and lived at Wartenberg Castle ) were born through marital connections or through inheritance . Again the property of the Wartenbergers came through marriages with all rights to the Lords of Eisenbach. From this point on, the Riedesel knight dynasty determined and worked in the region for centuries.

The Fulda documents, dated 1114, also contain a donation from the Landenhausen and Angersbach nobles to the Fulda monastery . In this context, the noble families von Landenhausen and von Angersbach are listed in this deed of donation. Literally it says in the context of the document: "a certain believing person named Heinrich von Landenhausen" , lat. "Quidam fidelis homo nomine Heinricus de Lantenhusen" . The meaning of the "homo" is crucial here, as this word was mostly used in the documents for people of a higher class or noble family. Heinrich von Landenhausen is probably a descendant of the first nobleman Lando, who is considered to be the founder and namesake of the Landenhausen settlement. It can be assumed that the residence of the von Landenhausen family was still the moated castle in today's meadow area "Im Burggipfel".

Modern times

In Landenhausen the Riedesel'schen ordinances were regarded as particular law . The Common Law applied only to the extent those regulations did not contain provisions. Theoretically, this special right retained its validity even while it belonged to the Grand Duchy of Hesse in the 19th century, but only individual provisions were used in judicial practice. The particular law was replaced on January 1, 1900 by the civil code that was uniformly valid throughout the German Empire .

The statistical-topographical-historical description of the Grand Duchy of Hesse reports on Landenhausen in 1830:

"Landenhausen (L. Bez. Lauterbach) evangel. Parish village; lies in a fertile plain of the Vogelsberg. 2 St. von Lauterbach, and belongs to the Baron von Riedesel. There are 138 houses and 792 residents who are Protestant apart from 4 Catholics, such as 1 church, 3 grinding mills, 2 parish of Backhäuser and a second-class border customs office. The inhabitants are very active in spinning and weaving, as well as the yarn and linen trade, and especially in winter almost all of the inhabitants are busy processing the flax, and the trade is mainly carried out towards Fulda. The demarcation especially produces white cabbage in abundance, a large part of which is deposited outside. Fruit growing is also of some importance, and has been particularly popular with the local tree nursery. The sandstone quarries deliver millstones that are seduced far and wide, and whose processing always employs several workers. - Landenhausen is occasionally mentioned for the inauguration of the church in Schlitz on September 11, 812, and assigned to this church. In 1441 the Abbey of Fuld gave this place with others, to Hermann Riedesel, to improve seiger fiefdoms, and in 1806 it came under Hess Highness. "

Second World War

Landenhausen and the rest of the Vogelsberg area were largely spared from armed conflicts until shortly before the end of the Second World War . In 1942, many people from bomb-prone cities came to the countryside to seek refuge. Around 100 people came to Landenhausen during this time (especially from the bomb-prone Cologne and Offenbach ).

On March 28, 1945, it was announced that American troops had reached Schotten and Alsfeld . German intelligence troops have tried to move a telegraph line to Fulda, where the troops shot with rifles at an American fighter-bomber flying back over the village . As a result, the aircraft dropped two bombs, which fell in the area of ​​the upper village. A total of 11 victims were to be mourned.

After the Second World War, the main efforts in 1946 were to integrate hundreds of displaced persons from the former German eastern regions - mainly from the Sudetenland - into the village life of Landenhausen.

Territorial reform

On August 1, 1972, the new municipality of Wartenberg was formed from the municipalities of Angersbach and Landenhausen as part of the regional reform in Hesse .

In addition, a tent camp with a district youth home was created in 1958 , which years later was used as an opportunity to build an outdoor swimming pool for the youth of the tent camp. This developed into an important part of the community, which is adjacent to the sports facility and gym. The swimming pool is frequented by the camp, by the community population and by many people from the area and beyond. Among other things, the " DFB -Stiftung Egidius Braun " enables football clubs (their D-junior teams) of the Football and Athletics Association Westphalia eV ( FLVW ) to spend annual leisure time in the Landenhausen camp.

In 1977 and 1978 Landenhausen was not only the regional winner in the competition " Our village should be more beautiful ", but also the Hessian state winner. The village was also able to remain the winner for the third time in the state decision in 1980.
