history

The mountain spur north of Reiser already offered space for a fortified structure in prehistoric times. In 974 the place was the Ottonian court of Otto II. The castle then became the medieval manor of Thuto von Tutinsode, which was mentioned in a document in 1265. Traces of fire indicate the destruction of the complex by fire, because the courtyard existed until the 15th century. Today the castle site is still recognizable through the remains of a wall.

For centuries Reiser was part of the sphere of influence of the Free and Imperial City of Mühlhausen . In 1565 there were 34 people in the village.

A church was built in 1693 instead of a previous medieval building.

In 1802 Reiser fell together with Mühlhausen to the Kingdom of Prussia , from 1807 to 1813 to the Kingdom of Westphalia ( Canton Dachrieden ) created by Napoleon and was assigned to the district of Mühlhausen in the Prussian province of Saxony after the Congress of Vienna in 1816 .
