history

The date of the founding of Martinfeld is unknown, it probably falls in the time of the Frankish settlement after 531. It was probably the court of a noble Martin. As "Mertineveld" in Gau Germar-Mark in the county of Rüdiger, the place is mentioned in a certificate from Heinrich IV. In 1071 . In 1209 a Steffano de Mertenvelt is called. Another documented mention comes from the year 1333. Martinfeld was owned by the Herfeld monastery , from there it went to the Landgraves of Hesse . In 1446 the brothers von Gerwigshusen were enfeoffed with the place. In 1518 the noble Bodungen family bought Martinfeld from Wetzl Wolf . She settled there and built Martinfeld Castle in 1611 as her manor. Immediately next to it, in the center of the village, a large manor was built (front courtyard), which arose from a fortified fortification system ( kemenate ) as a predecessor of the old Bodungen manor; the defensive tower was later preserved when the church was built and is still used today as a church tower.

In 1526 Martinfeld became Protestant , but with the Counter Reformation Martinfeld received a Catholic pastor again. During the Thirty Years War Martinfeld was burned down by the Swedes in 1632, and Hans Christoph von Königsmarck's troops plundered the place in 1647. Martinfeld did not belong to the neighboring offices of Gleichenstein or Bischofstein, but was a Bodungen court village. It is not known who held the higher jurisdiction, but there is a gallows hill east of the village.

The town experienced an economic boom in the late 17th century as a result of wool weaving . Half-timbered houses were built; In 1723 Martinfeld received the Church of St. Ursula. The existence of a school is known from the year 1733. She had a teacher in 1840 and was attended by 67 boys and 56 girls. Two manors belonged to Martinfeld . Tobacco was processed in the second half of the 19th century . Several floods and fires occurred during the First World War . In 1928, the White Cross was erected in memory of those who fell in the war .

During the Nazi era, there was a labor camp for women on the von Bodungen family estate . At the end of the Second World War , all bridges were blown up. Martinfeld was occupied first by the US and then by the Red Army . Martinfeld Castle and Gut were expropriated in the course of the land reform in 1945 and the estate was demolished in 1948.
