history

State domain

The settlement was created on the basis of a former princely Waldeck domain located in the districts of Rhoden and the east-northeast neighboring Wethen . Around 1652, after the end of the Thirty Years' War , Count Georg Friedrich , regent for his nephew Heinrich Wolrad von Waldeck -Eisenberg, who was still underage , set up a manorial dairy on the Laubach. In 1688 Georg Friedrich, heir to the heavily indebted sub-county of Waldeck-Eisenberg since the early death of his nephew in 1664 and raised to the rank of imperial prince by Emperor Leopold I as Prince of Waldeck in 1682, pledged this dairy to the widow Marie Sophie von Spiegel , mistress Schweckhausen , and her sons, and until 1786 she remained in the possession of this family. Only then did Prince Georg , to whom his brother, Prince Friedrich Karl August , had ceded Rhoden Castle that year , redeemed the pledge on the estate. He then sold the property to the city of Rhoden in 1811. Laubach leased this to Theodor Görg and later to his son, Oberamtmann Hermann Görg, chairman of the Chamber of Agriculture for Waldeck, who owned the domain until the lease agreements expired in 1941. In 1895 there were 2 houses with 24 residents.

Village settlement

The Hessische Heimstätte became the new owner in 1941 and Laubach therefore became the first place of refuge for numerous refugees and displaced persons from 1945 onwards . In 1948 the former estate was dissolved, and the remaining 500 acres were distributed among six new settler sites to be created. In December 1949, five agricultural families from Silesia , North Moravia , Austrian Silesia and the Volga moved to the large manor house as new neighbors to a local farming family , where they lived until various farm buildings were converted into residential buildings and managed them fields and fields assigned to them.

On September 1, 2019, the small town - seven houses, 30 residents and a considerable number of animals, especially sheep - celebrated "70 years of Laubach settlement" with great sympathy from the area.
