Martinhagen is the westernmost part of the community of Schauenburg in the northern Hessian district of Kassel .

Geographical location

Martinhagen is located in the Habichtswald Nature Park in northern Hesse, about 19 km southwest of Kassel and 10 km southeast of Wolfhagen . The federal highway 520 ran through Martinhagen until July 2010 , which was downgraded to the state road 3215 because of the federal highway 44 running parallel to the village .

history

Martinhagen is first mentioned in a document in 1082 as (villam noviter cultam que dicitur) Meribodonhago , when an Adelheid donated the settlement to Hasungen monastery.

In documents that have been preserved, Martinhagen was mentioned under the following names (the year it was mentioned in brackets): Meribodonhago (1082), (Hasungen Monastery); Meribodehago (1082), (Hasungen Monastery); Merbodenhayn (1464); Merbenhain (1470); Mormelnhagen (1505), (Hasungen Monastery); Merdenhagen (1585).

The village was probably created by clearing the Korbacher Straße, which was part of an important trade route . In 1470 the Großenhof came to the Landgraviate of Hesse from the Bailiwick of Hasungen as part of a border adjustment . From 1534 the place belonged to the Baune office , later to the district court of Zierenberg and from the 19th century to the Wolfhagen district .

As part of the regional reform in Hesse , Martinhagen was initially part of the municipality of Hoof from December 31, 1971 to July 31, 1972, and on August 1, 1972 it became a part of the municipality of Schauenburg.

Grossenhof

Memorial plaque for the merger of the two communities on Korbacher Strasse

The so-called Großenhof was first mentioned in a document in 1470; it belonged to those of Dalwigk as a Hessian fiefdom .

In 1534 the "Große Hof" fell into the possession of the Schaumburg Line as part of a division of use. Originally it was a single farmstead, later a small rural community in the Kassel district .

On April 1, 1896, Großenhof left the Kassel district and was merged with Martinhagen in the Wolfhagen district. In 1900, Großenhof corresponded to the eastern third of the enlarged Martinhagen community. For the 100th anniversary in 1996, two memorial stones were placed on the old border line, one in Korbacher and the other in Zierenberger Straße.

Sandstone colossus from Martinhagen

A huge sandstone block with a length of over six meters and a square cross-section of around two meters attracted the attention of Landgrave Kassel in 1770 . According to stories from Martinhagen and Balhorn , the large block still comes from the Balhorn sandstone quarries and was originally intended as a statue for Hercules, who is currently under construction in Kassel.

Various plans to move the block to Kassel failed due to the poor road and transport conditions at the time. It was not possible to lift the stone because it had probably slipped off the transport sledge in a meadow in a deep valley between 1709 and 1710. The meadow on which the stone lay was tax-free from 1710 to 1820; in 1867 the stone block was auctioned. The buyer, a citizen from Martinhagen, smashed him and sold the stones to build a railway depot in Kassel.
