history

The place was first mentioned in a document in 998. In the years that followed, the royal estate in Ludolfshausen was documented, as Conrad II donated quidquid praedii hanuimus to the diocese of Paderborn in 1032 in villa Liudulueshusen in pago Lacni in comitatu Herimanni . From the von Ludolfshausen family established in the village, the place passed into the possession of the von Hanstein family in 1369 . The Hansteiners previously held the village as a fief . In 1477 they pledged it to the Reinhausen monastery . In the course of the late medieval period of desertification , the place fell temporarily desolate, so that the corridor belonging to the village was cultivated by the neighboring village of Reiffenhausen at the end of the 15th century . At that time the remaining field mark was only one hoof , all the rest of the land had been leased to the Reinhausen monastery as pasture. The monastery gave up pasture use by 1530 at the latest, as the cattle were often torn by wild animals. As a result, thick wood developed which covered the entire hallway. Jobst von Hanstein , landlord of Ludolfshausen, unsuccessfully offered the residents of Reiffenhausen the land for a cheap purchase on hereditary interest. Settlers from Westphalia who settled in Ludolfshausen also only stayed for a short time, as they too complained about the great loss of livestock. The repopulation only succeeded when the new residents concentrated on growing grain. At the time when Daniel von Mainz came to Eichsfeld in 1553 , the Hansteiners paid homage to him and had Archbishop Daniel record their previous possessions over Ludolfshausen, as they saw the place as a fiefdom transferred to them by the Archdiocese of Mainz. From the late 16th century onwards, the Duchy of Braunschweig thought about sovereignty over Ludolfshausen. It was argued that the place was completely enclosed by the Braunschweig territory and at no point touched on the Mainz office of Rusteberg, to which it should be counted. Furthermore, the Braunschweiger assumed that Ludolfshausen was not a fiefdom of the Hansteiners from Mainz, but that the Hansteiners were the original owners of the place. Oberamtmann Wissel responded with a copy of a certificate about the sale of Ludolfshausen by the von Ludolfshausen to the von Hanstein. Neither the Mainz nor Braunschweig arguments resulted in a decision on the question of state sovereignty.

On January 1, 1973 Ludolfshausen was incorporated into the Friedland community.

church

The small village church is located on the southwestern outskirts in the middle of the cemetery. It was built in 1562, other sources indicate the second half of the 17th century. The simple half-timbered hall church under the hipped gable roof in the east has a tower hung with bricks and slate over the western front. The outer walls were largely replaced by light-colored solid walls in 1958/59.
