Lugshofen

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lugshofen (also Lugeshouen, Lögeshoven, Lugshouen, Luegshofen) is a deserted village in the district of Dettelbacher district in your field in the Lower Franconian district of Kitzingen . The village was abandoned in the 16th century, the reasons for this are unclear.

Geographical location

The localization of the former settlement is proving difficult. The location is only described in more detail in a document from 1405, after which Lugshofen was found near the Seehof , which had also been lost . Seehof was between Seligenstadt and Lugshofen. The village was probably located in the far west of the Euerfeld district, near the Upper Rothof in the area of ​​the municipality of Rottendorf .

history

The village probably originated in the early Middle Ages and was perhaps named after a nobleman Laugo or Lougo. Lugshofen was first mentioned in 1275. At that time, the abbot Hermann von Oberzell sold a farm in "(...) Lugeshouen, juxta villam Urvelt" ( Latin Lugshofen, near the village of Euerfeld) to Rudolf, the prelate of Heilsbronn monastery . In the same year the village appeared again in a property register of the Würzburg collegiate monastery Haug. The place was then called "Lvgeshoven".

In 1291 the Premonstratensian monks from Oberzell Monastery received the proceeds from the curia “in Lögeshoven”. At that time a canon from the abbey was sitting in town. In 1345 Conrad von Dörzbach was in possession of a high fiefdom. The "Hof Lugshouen" is mentioned again in a certificate from the Würzburg Clarissians . In 1381 a garden in Euerfeld was described, which was located "towards Luegshofen".

The wisdom of Euerfeld for the Hauger Stift mentioned the place "Lugshoven" in 1413. In the middle of the 15th century, the interest on income from the Lugshofen Curia was given to the Haug Monastery. However, the place is no longer listed in a central description in 1575, probably the last farms of Lugshofen were converted into arable land in 1573.
