history

The earliest mention of it comes from the year 990, when Manisi is mentioned as the property of the Hilwartshausen monastery . At that time, the monastery awarded 4 farms with a size of 120 acres each to the individual Mieres in Meensen , and various other farmers received properties between 60 and 30 acres. In later times, the noble family of those zu Stockhausen acquired several properties in the village. Pottery was an essential line of business , as many potters and growers had settled in Meensen. Meensen was to distinguish it from neighboring desolate fallen Vriemeensen also called Gropmeynsen, which stands for pottery settlement (Gröperort). The reference to the former pottery location can still be seen in the local coat of arms. Among other things, it shows a bullhead , a three-legged pot made of clay or metal, smaller than a kettle with handles or handles. In the middle of the 13th century, a noble family zu Meensen became known, so in 1246 Wedekind von Meynse appeared as a witness in a document about the sale of the tithe zu Holzhausen to the Hilwartshausen monastery. In 1260 and 1263 Bartholdus and Wedekindus de Meynse are mentioned, while in 1433 Hans von Meynsen appears again.
