Niederurff is a district of the Bad Zwesten community in the Schwalm-Eder district in northern Hesse . The Urff flows through the village with a good 400 inhabitants , which flows into the Schwalm about one kilometer east at the foot of the Altenburg mountain .
history
In a document issued in 1085, a church in Urff is named as the seat of an archpriest . From the year 1425 it is testified that a deanery was connected with the church of Niederurff , to which the churches in Jesberg , Waltersbrück , Zwesten and Gerhardshausen belonged.
The place Niederurff was first mentioned explicitly in 1285 as Urf inferior ; the associated Niederurff castle of the Lords of Urff was first mentioned in 1272. In 1509 the place was destroyed as a property of the von Löwenstein family in a feud with Count Heinrich VIII von Waldeck . In 1596 Niederurff came into the possession of the Landgraviate of Hesse , which took away market rights from the place . During the Thirty Years' War the village was burned down by the troops of the imperial general von Bönninghausen .
In the course of the Hessian regional reform , Niederurff lost its independence on December 31, 1971 and was incorporated into Zwesten (today Bad Zwesten ).
