Seibertshausen is a deserted area in the district of Weidenhausen , a current district of Gladenbach in the Marburg-Biedenkopf district ( Hesse ). The place was about 1 km south-southwest of Weidenhausen or about 5 km southwest of Gladenbach, immediately south of the B 255 on the upper reaches of the Schönwasser at an altitude of 310 m above sea level in the Seibertshäuser Grund. Today the entire forest district south of Weidenhausen is referred to by the field name "Seibertshausen".

Battle of Seibertshausen

The place became known because, during the last and decisive phase of the Dernbacher feud in 1327, in its immediate vicinity, directly in front of the Landwehr known as "Innen-Heege" , troops of the archbishopric Mainz and the counts of Nassau-Siegen and Nassau -Dillenburg fought a heavy battle with troops of the Landgraviate of Hesse , which ended with a victory for the Mainz-Nassau army under its field captain Johann von Nassau .

Ownership

After the end of the Dernbach feud, when Landgrave Heinrich II of Hesse gave his allies in Hessian territory, who had been driven out of the Herborner Mark by the Nassauer , and at the same time forced those who were on the side of the ultimately defeated Nassauer to surrender goods and rights had, the knights Dammo the Younger von Muschenheim and Kraft von Bellersheim sold 1336 goods in Seibertshausen to the Lords of Bicken , who on May 21, 1336 the Dillenburg Count Heinrich III. had sold their Hainchen Castle with most of the property belonging to it. The Lords of Dernbach , who had been expelled from the Herborner Mark and had been sitting at Neu-Dernbach Castle as Hessian feudal men since 1350 , also acquired goods in Seibertshausen ("Sifrideshusen"); Dernbach ownership is still there in 1466.

The End

The Seibertshausen reason

It is not clear whether the place was still inhabited at that time. In 1377 it was still referred to as a village, but it was probably already destroyed before 1400. It is assumed that many residents fell victim to the plague in 1348/1350 and that the survivors migrated to Weidenhausen, where many courtyards were also empty due to the plague. The field corridor merged with that of Weidenhausen.

Today a memorial stone with a plaque on it reminds of the submerged village. Otherwise no more traces are visible.
