history

A settlement "Ryadra" was mentioned as early as 830 ; However, it is not clear whether these are Rhadern. Almost certainly, however, is "Rotheren" where the Corveyer Abt Druthmar (1015-1046) seven Mansi to the maintenance of him on the cross altar decorated the monastery church Eternal Light donated, the same as today's Rhadern.

The place was originally owned by Corvey Abbey , but it came to the Counts of Waldeck after violent feuds towards the end of the 13th century, as did Lichtenfels Castle , some 4 km further south . In 1336 , Count Heinrich IV of Waldeck pledged the village of Rhadern to Count Johann von Nassau-Hadamar as the bridal treasure of his daughter Else (Elisabeth) . 1473 the brothers Johann and Reinhard received from Dalwigk Count Wolrad I. von Waldeck and his son Philip the castle and the Office Lichtenfels with the local Freistuhl and the lower courts to feud , with the villages of Neukirchen , Munden and Immighausen and the now desolate fallen Places Nerdar and Rhadern. The place, designated as a desert in 1473, was not settled again until 1567.

From 1533, the Archbishops of Cologne, as Dukes of Westphalia, raised claims to the Free County of Münden with Münden, Goddelsheim , Rhadern and Neukirchen, as it considered this Free County to belong to the Gogericht and Amt Medebach . This led to lengthy trials and fights in the 16th and 17th centuries; It was not until 1663 that Kurköln waived these claims in a settlement with the Counts of Waldeck.

On September 13, 1760, the battle took place near Rhadern , which ended with a victory by French troops over allied Prussians and Hanoverians.

church

From 1260 Rhadern had its own chapel and the community was detached from its mother church in Goddelsheim and raised to an independent parish. The chapel was still a parish church around 1400. In the 15th century, when the place was deserted, it was destroyed and the place then served as a branch of parish Furstenberg . The Rhaden people had their own entrance on the north side of the Michaelskirche and their own pews; the "Rhadersche Tür" was only bricked up in 1957. From 1699 to 1831, Rhadern was parish off to Münden, and from 1832 to Goddelsheim.

In 1755, today's church in Rhadern was built on the outskirts towards Fürstenberg. It was renovated in 1899, 1935 and 1969/70. With the abolition of the parish of Fürstenberg in 1973, it was incorporated as a branch parish in the parish of Lichtenfels-Goddelsheim, and today Rhadern, Fürstenberg and Goddelsheim together form one parish .

societies

The residents of the place are involved in several associations. In addition to the volunteer fire brigade and the Lichtenfels sports community, there is a music association with various subgroups as well as a disco team and the rural women with a dance group.
