history

The place is first mentioned in 1362 under the place name Rekenrode . The place was created earlier, because the local nobility, the Lords of Reckerode, was mentioned in a document on January 8, 1350. In this document they are named as Hersfelder Ministeriale and had Hattenbach from the Hersfeld abbot in fiefdom . An own church of the Reckeröder aristocrats probably dates from around 1350, as there are still late Gothic style elements in and on the choir tower .

The local nobility expanded their property in 1365 when the Lords of Reckerode bought Hersfeld fiefdom from the Frieling local nobility. In a document dated August 24, 1372, Hans von Reckerode is mentioned as the Hessian bailiff of Rotenburg .

After a conciliation document of October 19, 1530, there was a dispute between the Hersfeld abbot Crato I and Martin von Hattenbach about property and rights in Reckerode, the Scheidhof, Goßmannsrode and Reimboldshausen . Reckerode, Scheidhof and Reimboldshausen were awarded the abbey by arbitration, only Goßmannsrode went " with all authority " to Martin von Hattenbach.

When the Reformation took hold in the Kirchheim region around 1554 , the former church of the Lords of Reckerode had already become the property of the citizens.

The nobles of Reckerode died out in the male line in 1727.

In 1747 the place came to the parish of Kirchheim. Around 1800 the church got a new classical nave and the tower got a new hood.

On August 1, 1972, Reckerode was incorporated into the municipality of Kirchheim as part of the regional reform in Hesse .

Population development

In 1610, before the Thirty Years War , there were 35 households, ten years after the start of the war in 1628 the same number of households was recorded. After the war, in 1673, there were 9 households left and by 1747 there were 25 families again. At the first census in 1830, the place had 211 inhabitants.
