history

On the occasion of an exchange of goods by the Helmarshausen monastery , the place was first mentioned in the spelling Maretegenhus in 1120. In 1222, the Counts of Everstein received their tithe from Martakeshusen and left this income to the Archdiocese of Mainz . From 1268 the Mariengarten monastery near Göttingen appeared as landowner in the village; At the same time, the Wilhelmites in Witzenhausen and the Lords of Ziegenberg and Lords of Plesse were also wealthy in the village. From 1428 Marzhausen was bestowed by the Dukes of Braunschweig , first to the von Stockhausen family , and later to the von Weihe family with court, bailiwick and all rights. The Braunschweiger always received taxes and valuations from Marzhausen , which were paid less and less in the middle of the 16th century. The place does not appear in the Braunschweig treasury register in 1550, and three years later Marzhausen refused an appraisal, which then had to be seized. Braunschweig could no longer obtain later estimates. From 1585 Braunschweig was refrained from taking the oath of homage for the first time from Marzhausen and four years later also the church visitation . The von Stockhausen pledged the place in earlier times, to those of Berlepsch , who in 1461 applied their entire gradient to Landgrave Ludwig II of Hesse and received it back as a fief, including Marzhausen. The family of the Counts of Plesse appeared as the Hessian fiefdom holder around 1500 . With the secularization of their monasteries in the second half of the 16th century, an endless dispute broke out between the Landgraves of Hesse and the Dukes of Braunschweig over the fiefdom of the town, which was finally settled in 1805. In the 17th century, the von Berlepsch family took over the fiefdom, from 1778 they also provided the court lord in Marzhausen, the village thus formally belonged to the Hessian office of Witzenhausen . With the introduction of the Reformation , Marzhausen was temporarily given a parish (1569 and 1578–1622), after which it was again placed under the parish of Hermannrode. For the district of the town hall today, the districts which includes deserted villages Eilersgewende , Bremerode and Gerwardshausen (pro rata). These small settlements were free float of Hessian aristocratic families and fell into desolation in the 15th century.

As early as September 1945, the Friedland border transit camp was built on an agricultural test site about 1 km east of the village.

On February 1, 1971, the municipality of Marzhausen was merged with four other places to form the new municipality of Neu-Eichenberg as part of the regional reform in Hesse .
