Oberndorf (Obervorschütz)

Oberndorf is a deserted area in the district of Obervorschütz , a district of Gudensberg in the Schwalm-Eder district in northern Hesse .

The settlement was in today's Flur Oberndorf , two and a half kilometers southwest of the core town of Gudensberg between Obervorschütz and Dorla , around 700 m northwest of the Jewish cemetery of Obervorschütz, at around 190 m above sea level on a hill on the Wellbach . It was first mentioned in 1209 as Hoverenthorp and Hoverentorp . It was probably a larger courtyard around which several cottages were grouped: in 1260 the place was referred to as predium , in 1338 as villa .

In addition to the St. Petri monastery in Fritzlar , other ecclesiastical and secular landlords had possessions in Oberndorf, such as the Haina monastery , the Teutonic Order , various Fritzlar canons , as well as the lords of Elben , von Hebel and von Wolfershausen .

In 1403 at the latest the place had fallen desolate; it may have been destroyed in 1387 during the campaign of Archbishop of Mainz Adolf I against Landgrave Hermann II of Hesse , when Mainz troops burned down Gudensberg and the Wenigenburg there on September 2 and also advanced to Obervorschütz, or in the following year, when the people of Mainz destroyed everything that had escaped devastation in the previous year. Today the area with its fertile loess soil is used for agriculture.

In the area of the desert, ceramic remains from the Carolingian era were found, which are kept in the Hessian State Museum in Kassel and in the History and Local History Museum in the Regional Museum Wedding House in Fritzlar .
