Neuseesen is a district of Witzenhausen in the Werra-Meißner district in North Hesse . The nationally known Hanstein Castle is close by .

geography

Neuseesen is located near the border triangle Hesse - Thuringia - Lower Saxony about 4 km east of Witzenhausen and 18 km northwest of the district town of Eschwege in the valley of the Siesterbach, a right tributary of the Werra . The location is framed by mountains of the Neuseesen-Werleshäuser heights , such as the Winterberg (375 m) in the east, the Witzgenstein (336.3 m) in the west and the Stürzliede (354.2 m) and the adjacent Stürzlieder Berg in the north. The immediate neighbors are Werleshausen in the south, Unterrieden in the west and Bornhagen in Thuringia with Hanstein Castle in the east.

traffic

The village is connected to the main road network via the federal highways 27 (Göttingen - Eschwege ) and 80 ( Hann. Münden - Heiligenstadt ), which pass nearby . In Friedland, about 15 km away (Drammetal motorway triangle), there is a connection to the federal motorway 7 and the A 38 (Göttingen-Friedland-Heiligenstadt- Halle ). The Göttingen – Bebra railway line with the Bebenroth tunnel runs southwest past the village.

history

Neuseesen is an old Eichsfeld village that is closely connected to the nearby Hanstein Castle . In 1318 the place was first mentioned in writing as Nuwezezen . From the 14th century onwards, the Archbishop of Mainz pledged the village to the Lords of Hanstein , and in 1535 Archbishop Albrecht of Mainz canceled the pledge to von Hanstein. Until 1849, the place was an accessory of the general court of Hanstein. A reliable assignment of the medieval documents to the local place is difficult because of the similarity of the name with the desert (Upper) Neuseesen near Uder.

It belonged to the district of Heiligenstadt , administrative district of Erfurt, province of Saxony , kingdom of Prussia . In 1945 Neuseesen and neighboring Werleshausen were added to the former Witzenhausen district (state of Hesse) as part of the Wanfrieder Agreement . As part of the regional reform , Neuseesen was incorporated into the city of Witzenhausen on December 31, 1971.
