Niederbesse was first mentioned in 1217, when the Weissenstein Monastery in Kassel bought two Hufen there, and was last mentioned in 1579 in the area of today's Besse , now part of the municipality of Edermünde in the north Hessian Schwalm-Eder district .

location

The 16th century abandoned village lay just south of the already mentioned in the 9th century as "Passahe" today's village of Besse on the western shore of the pilgrims Bach 204 m above mean sea level. Still remember the place names "in the old village", "in the lower village", "between the villages" and "in the old village bridge" to the former settlement.

history

The historical forms of the name clearly differed between the two neighboring settlements: on the one hand Besse inferior (1218), Nieder Besse (1307), Nedern Besse (1329), Niddern Besse (1376) and Niddern Beß (1557) and on the other hand Bessehe (1122), Bessee ( 1209), Besse superior (1291), Overen Besse (1292), Ober Besse (1307), Obernbesse (1326), Beisse (1369), Beß (1512), Besße (1538), Bessa (1546) and Beeß (1579) .

The village belonged to the Hessian landgraves , but a local noble family and a number of other secular and ecclesiastical rulers had property and / or income in the place over time. Hartrad von Reichenbach, landgrave burgher at Reichenbach Castle near Hessisch Lichtenau , had goods in Niederbesse, which he sold to the Ballei Marburg of the Teutonic Order in 1291 . A year later, the knight Eckehard von Felsberg, whose line came from Besse, sold two hooves in Niederbesse to the Teutonic Order in Marburg . In 1329 the Ahnaberg Monastery from Kassel sold its goods in Niederbesse to the Lords of Gudenberg , but three years later, in 1332, Werner von Gudenberg donated 18 fields to the Ahnaberg Monastery in the Niederbesse district. In 1338 the place was pledged to Thilo von Elben . In 1342 Konrad von Hertingshausen sold all of his goods in Niederbesse to the Breitenau monastery . In 1557 Hermann von der Malsburg and the lords of Elben were enfeoffed with tithes at Niederbesse. In 1804, Elector Wilhelm I of Hessen-Kassel enfeoffed the von der Malsburg with tithes in the district of Niederbesse and this enfeoffment was regularly renewed until 1824.

Sovereign generosity towards the subjects in the village is only documented once, when Landgrave Heinrich II granted the residents of Nieder- and Ober-Besse forest rights on the Langenberg , from Bilstein to Schwengeberg , in 1366 .
