history
The archpriest church St. Petri zu Schützeberg was built on the Schützeberg in 724 by Bonifatius , and its consecration took place in 752. The church was used for proselytizing and baptizing the local Saxons and chatting . It was one of the nine deanery churches of the Fritzlar Archdeaconate . After that, St. Petri became a pilgrimage church and, after 1235, a branch church of the city church of St. Anna in Wolfhagen, founded in 1223. It lost its importance during the Reformation and was abandoned in 1590 and then canceled.
Today there is a cemetery on the Schützeberg. His oldest gravestones belong to members of the Scheuermann family - former wealthy owners of neighboring paper mills . They date from 1630 and later. In 2015, direct descendants of the family provided the financial means for a restoration of the stones.
