Schuy is the desolation of the late medieval village, which is also called "Schoe", "Schue", "Schuwen" in documents and was located in the area of today's municipality of Beselich in the Hessian district of Limburg-Weilburg . Today the area is part of the district of Obertiefenbach . It was first mentioned around 1450.
location
The exact location of the place has not yet been proven by finds, but it can be represented by means of tithe authorization cards of the Schuy district at the time in the Hessian main state archive in Wiesbaden . In the area of today's Bornwiese , there is a larger tithe-free area that is supposed to represent the seat of the former village of Schuy. The fee for this area was only four guilders, which also indicates that the area was previously inhabited. The proximity of the Holzbitz corridor, where, according to old tradition, the dead of Schuy were buried, also speaks for acceptance as a settlement. Apparently only a small community has settled on an area that, according to a later report, should have comprised around 16 buildings.
In a dispute in 1775 between the Lords of Runkel and the Dietkirchen monastery about the tithing of the Obertiefenbacher Erdbeerenberg, research was also carried out into the tithing of Schuy about the extent of the village of Schuy . The runic Hofkeller reported about this: “In the so-called Hosterfeld (Holstert = house, a place serving the storage and processing of firewood and construction wood in the immediate vicinity of a village), where the village of Schuy used to be, there are about 10 acres of land no tithes, but 4 florins ( gulden ) rooster money is given annually. ”The Hofkeller assumed that this land consisted of gardens and developed properties.
The area can be reached from Obertiefenbach via the Kuhweg past the Weiss clay pit on the asphalt path to Schupbach . The Brandbach , a tributary of the Kerkerbach, flows in this area .
history
Since the possibilities of life for the Schuyer settlers were much less favorable than at the other nearby places, it can be assumed that Schuy was created much more recently than Obertiefenbach or Schupbach. In contrast to the advantages of the original mark of Obertiefenbach, the picture of the Schuyer Feldmark showed a more difficult terrain to build on and, as the ground cover, a weathered product of basalt, which the surface water releases only little and only slowly to the layers of basalt and clay below . The topsoil is therefore kaltgründig and sluggish, but brings in dry years, after all, still abundant harvests.
According to a later source , Schuy's last residents had emigrated to Obertiefenbach, whereby the district of Schuy fell to the town of Obertiefenbach and its district. It is still unclear whether epidemics or economic causes led to the desertification. The compilations of rural districts from 1489 with the interspersed parcels of coarse property clearly give the impression that these belonged to a single district. It should also be noted that the "Schuer Grund" corridor , which was undoubtedly in the area of the former village of Schuy, had a different name at the time the place existed, as a municipality does not name any part of the district after its own place name.
In the 16th century, three quarters of the tenth of the Schuy district belonged to the Lords of Runkel, who transferred this right to the Beselich Monastery through a forced exchange . On October 3, 1652, the Jesuit residence at Hadamar became the owner of this tithe with a deed of foundation. Ten years later, the latter also bought the last quarter of Schuyer's income from the heirs of the Junkers von Waldmannshausen . The location and extent of this total tithe had been the subject of differences for a long time between the von Runkel and the Beselich monastery on the one hand and the Lubentiusstift Dietkirchen on the other, which was entitled to tithe in the district of Obertiefenbach. In the long time that the two districts were now united, there had been increasing uncertainties about the original borders. Both tithe lords finally reached an agreement, set the presumed limit and had it stoned in nine places on May 4, 1612 in the presence of representatives from both sides. After the tithe issue of 1701, the boundary stones were as follows:
- Stein am Beselicher Holz, Waldeck
- Stein bei der Atzelheck on the conversion at the Herrenhof
- Stone beyond the Merenberger Weg
- Stein not far from there, between Merenberger Weg and Schüerpfad
- Stone in the Schüer path
- Stone behind the beet field
- Stein am Gaulstück in the uppermost Forch
- Stone on the horse, on the anwandt of the Jesuit fields.
The 9th boundary stone was not found, but was set anew in 1706 at the discretion of both parties. In today's terms, this border would be marked with the following names: Corner of Beselicher Wald on Steinkauter Weg - Eichweg - Wasserkammer - Graben below the path to Herrenwasen - continuation above Uhlkauter Weg in a fairly straight direction after Straßenwasen. This limit remained until the replacement of the tithe in the 1840s.
The surname of many families of the same name in Obertiefenbach and in the rest of the Nassauer Land still testifies to the former place Schuy .
