Selessen
Selessen (also Seltze ) is a desert in the area of today's city of Dassel .
history
At the end of the 13th century, the Counts of Dassel were pushed back by the Guelphs from eastern and southern directions to a remaining territory. The small Lauenberg Castle was apparently already lost, but at least in 1290 Guelph troops had advanced to the Fredelsloh monastery church, only 3 km away . In the village of Selessen, however, the counts still had rights that Simon von Dassel sold in 1310.
Selessen was north-west of the Ahlsburg ridge on the Dieße, roughly at the confluence of the Hane stream, i.e. near the present-day Seelzerthurm settlement . The village fell desolate in the 15th century , possibly in 1448 during the siege of Grubenhagen Castle or in 1479 during the attack by Albrecht II on Einbeck , but at the latest in the Hildesheim collegiate feud . Structural remains were not found, but from field names it is concluded that there was a church in the place. The lands in this area belonged to various feudal lords, including Corvey , the lords of Dassel , Plesse and Oldershausen, and some of them were managed as after-fiefs by the farmers of the surrounding villages. Because of the complicated legal situation, there were repeated disputes that were fueled by the border location between the Hildesheim monastery and the Principality of Göttingen . They only ended with the Prussian allodification laws .
Today the area is used intensively for agriculture.
