Mosheim is the oldest part of the municipality of Malsfeld in the north Hessian Schwalm-Eder district .

geography

The place, a closed cluster village with a random floor plan, is located west of the main town Malsfeld and about 7 kilometers northeast of the district town of Homberg (Efze) on a slope that tapers to the north in the source area of ​​the Weidenbach. The Tiefenbach runs to the west of the district. Both drain north into the Rhündabach, which flows into the Schwalm near Rhünda . In the village meet state roads 3149 and 3427 and the county road K 24. About 1.5 kilometers east lies the junction Malsfeld the A7 motorway .

The center of the village, which was purely agricultural until the 1960s, is still dominated by farms, but only a few businesses are still run by full-time farmers. Many of the stables that have become vacant are used by horse lovers from the area for their animals.

history

The ending -heim of the place name suggests that the village was founded during the Frankish conquest in the period between 500 and 800 AD. Mazheimere marca was first mentioned in a document in the year 800 in the Breviarium sancti Lulli , a document from the Hersfeld monastery . For local anniversaries, the Hessian State Archives names the year of death of Archbishop Lullus of Mainz as the date of the first documentary mention. Accordingly, Mosheim will celebrate its 1225th anniversary in 2011.

The village belonged to the domain of the Hessian counts from the families of Werner and Gisonen . After the Gisonen died out, it came into the possession of the Ludowinger Landgraves of Thuringia in 1137 and, after the Thuringian-Hessian War of Succession (1247–1263), the Landgraves of Hesse . However, like so many villages, it was pledged repeatedly (so in 1324 to Kurt von Hebel and 1338 and again around 1350 to Konrad von Falkenberg ), and various secular and spiritual landlords had property or tithe or interest income in the village. Are mentioned in a document u. A. the monasteries Fulda , Hersfeld , Johannesberg , Breitenau , Homberg , Hardehausen , Eppenberg , Spieskappel , Haina , Ahnaberg and Germerode , the Fritzlar monastery , the infirmary hospital in Fritzlar, the vice counts of Felsberg , the local noble lords of Mosheim who were notarized from 1219 to 1450 and the gentlemen von Hebel, Falkenberg, Ostheim , Cappel , Rodeberg, Holzsadel , Linne , Heßberg, Röhrenfurt and Riedesel .

Administratively, the village belonged to the office or court of Homberg until 1807. During the Napoleonic era, from 1807 to 1813, it belonged to the Gensungen Canton and Peace Court in the Fulda department . In 1814 it came back to the Homberg Office and with the Hessian administrative reform of 1821 to the Homberg District and Justice Office. After the Prussian annexation of Hessen-Kassel , Mosheim belonged to the district and district court of Homberg from 1867, then from 1932 to the Fritzlar-Homberg district (renamed the Fritzlar-Homberg district in 1939), which was finally merged into the Schwalm-Eder district during the Hessian territorial reform in 1974 .

Mosheim as a district of Malsfeld

On January 1, 1974, was in the course of administrative reform in Hesse powerful country, the municipalities Malsfeld (with the districts Elfershausen and Dagobertshausen) Beiseförth, Mosheim ( county Fritzlar-Homberg ), Ostheim and Sipperhausen (county Fritzlar-Homberg) for new large community Malsfeld together . At the same time, Malsfeld moved to the newly established Schwalm-Eder district. Malsfeld was designated as the seat of the municipal administration. Local districts were set up for all formerly independent communities .

A major fire on October 26, 1896 destroyed many houses, stables and barns in the eastern part of the village. The extent of this catastrophe can still be seen today in the style of the rebuilt buildings.

Historical forms of names

In historical documents, the place is under the following place names (in brackets the year of mention): Mazheim (around 800), Mazem (1231), Mashem (1266), Matzem (1289), Masheym (1337), Masheim (1344), Moßheym (1376), Moysheim (1395), Maßheim (1428), Massheim (1454), Moysheym (1502), Moßhaim (1508), Marßheim (1520), Mossem (1537), Maaßheimb (1597) and Mosheimb (1600) to today's Mosheim.

Population development

Towards and after the end of the Second World War , the population of the village rose sharply due to the influx of bombed out and then displaced persons , whereby the previously purely Protestant village also gained a considerable number of Roman Catholic new citizens. With the increasing growth of industry and service companies in Northern Hesse and the simultaneous decline in agriculture, there was then again a partial emigration, so that the village has hardly more inhabitants today than before the Second World War.

religion

Protestant church

A chapel in the village is mentioned as early as 1174. In 1194 the Hersfeld abbot Siegfried is said to have donated the mother church Sipperhausen with the Mazheim branch to the Blankenheim monastery ; however, the relevant document is viewed as a forgery by historical science. In any case, the Sipperhausen Church and its Mosheim branch came back to the Hersfeld Abbey in 1229 by exchange. The main building of the church in the center is of late Gothic origin and was built around 1500. After partial destruction in the Thirty Years War , the church was expanded in 1752. In 1969 it was completely redesigned.

Culture

Every year on Ascension Day, the Mosheim fraternity organizes the local fair. In addition to the volunteer fire brigade, there are also the rural women’s club, the homeland club, the carrier pigeon club “Mosenberger Bote” and a sports club that is particularly involved in handball .
