history

The Schergeshof is one of a group of around 20 settlements that have been created as clearing in the Frauensee forest since the 13th century in the vicinity of the Cistercian convent Frauensee . The homestead was first mentioned on March 27, 1366. The majority of these small settlements had already become deserted in the 16th century when the monastery was abolished , including the Schergeshof. After the peasant uprising of 1525 was put down, the monastery was confiscated as pledged property by the Hessian Landgrave Philip the Magnanimous , and at the same time he determined that his new subjects should convert to the Protestant faith. The appointed administrator Michael Flach carried out the secularization of the monastery on behalf of the landgrave . In 1536 the Frauensee monastery was considered dissolved, from which the Frauensee office emerged as an exclave in the territory of the Saxon dukes. From the late 17th century, some of the easily accessible deserted areas were relocated; there was a mill on the Schergesbach and a small homestead at the Schergeshof. In 1797 the farm worker Scholl received the permission to build a new house on the Schergeshof. It existed until 1973. In 1803, farmer Mey built another house on Schergeshof.

As of June 30, 2009, 10 residents lived in Schergeshof.
