history

It was first mentioned in documents in 1323. Slavs laid the village on nutrient-poor sandy soils. Therefore, the village fell into desolation in the 14th century, because water and food were the limiting factors. The monastery in Michelsberg and later the Langheim monastery took over the management of the village and the land. In the 15th century a manor was founded , which Hassenberg and Lindenberg helped to manage.
