Nordwich (Singlis)

Nordwich , also Nordwig , is a deserted village in the north of the district of Singlis , a district of Borken in the north Hessian Schwalm-Eder district .

The location of the settlement can only be roughly localized so far; it was probably about 170 m above sea level between Singlis and Uttershausen on the western bank of the Schwalm and at the southwestern foot of the Dosenberg. Although it has probably been settled for much longer, the place was first mentioned in a document as "Northwic" in an income register of the Fritzlarer Petersstift in 1209 .

When the place was abandoned is not known with certainty, but it was probably already desolate when the Haina monastery was owned by the brothers Timmo, Werner and Hermann von Züschen in the years 1265–1270, their property there and the court as well as by Antonia von Borken , Widow of Heinrich von Boyneburg , and bought their property and rights there from the Weißenstein monastery . In 1304, 1312, 1315 and 1319, Haina also acquired further property in the Nordwich district, which apparently continued to exist together with the court into the 15th century: in 1484 and 1492 Werner von Löwenstein-Westerburg was enfeoffed with 14 acres in the Nordwich court . In 1839 at the latest, these possessions were then included in the Singlis district. The decade of the district stood as hersfeldisches feudal lords of Falkenberg to until this 1461 was half and wholly acquired by the monastery Haina 1479th
