Geographical location

history

The village is first mentioned in writing in a document from 1319, when the Fritzlar Franciscan monastery sold interest from the Beysheym mill . The village belonged to the Landgraviate of Hesse and the Hessian Office of Homberg and the court on the forest , but was mostly given as a fief to noble families from the area, just as the tithe income mostly went to subordinate and frequently changing fiefdoms. In 1338 the pledge of the Lords of Falkenberg by Landgrave Heinrich II with court and church patronage in Beisheim and Klein-Beisheim is notarized. In 1422 the village was a landgrave fief of the Lords of Reckerode . In 1528 it was fiefdom owned by Heinz von Lüder , who sold it to Otto Hund that year . The Hund held the village as a fief from 1544 to 1680; When their family died out, Niederbeisheim returned to the Landgrave of Hesse-Kassel as a settled fiefdom . During the time of the Napoleonic Kingdom of Westphalia (1807-1813) Niederbeisheim belonged to the canton of Homberg and the local peace court . After the restitution of Kurhessen , it belonged again to the Homberg Office from 1814 and to the newly created Homberg District and the Homberg Justice Office from 1821 .

The small village, in which around 1490 only 15 defensive men, 7 plows and 23 carnival chickens were counted, flourished in the 16th century and had 73 house seats in 1575 and 1585 . The Thirty Years' War then led to a heavy loss of population: by 1639 there were only 30 married and eight widowed householders in the village. It was not until a century later, in 1742, that the village had grown back to 88 people. In 1834 there were already 593 inhabitants, and until the time of the Second World War the population remained stable near the 600 mark. After the end of the war, the number rose sharply for a short time due to bombed-out people, refugees and displaced persons and reached a high of 1,108 people in 1950, only to gradually decline again. Since the 1970s, it began to increase again with the development of the local tourist industry.

On 1 January 1974, the municipality Niederbeisheim was in the course of administrative reform in Hesse powerful state law in the community Knüllwald incorporated . A district was set up for the Niederbeisheim district .
