In terms of traffic, the place is on Gensunger Straße from Beuern to Gensungen , a side street of the federal highway 253 a few hundred meters further north , which , coming from Wabern via Gensungen through the Beuerholz, leads to junction 82 of the federal highway 7 and on to Melsungen .

history

Sundheim desert

Information on the history of the place is very sketchy. The first documentary mention seems to be in a land register of the St. Petri monastery in Fritzlar from the year 1209, according to which the monastery received a tithe in Suntheim . Suntheim is probably not mentioned again until 1355, when Landgrave Heinrich II. Of Hesse and his son and co-regent Otto exempted the court there from the Breitenau monastery from all taxes that the residents of Gensungen had previously demanded, but paid interest and themselves reserved other rights. Five years later, on April 14, 1360, the residents of Sundheim were among the beneficiaries of Landgrave Heinrich II and his son Otto's transfer of the Markwald Beuerholz to the castle men and citizens of the town of Felsberg and the residents of Gensungen, Sundheim and Beuern , Heßlar and Melgershausen , with which the sovereigns apparently recognized an old customary law. And in 1371 it was announced again that the Fritzlarer St. Petri Stift received a tithe from Suntheim. In the 15th century, the small village fell apparently desolate, because its rights to the Markwald fell to the village of Helmshausen .

Sundhof Manor

For the year 1525, however, there is a single farm, the so-called "Sonthoeb", in the place of the former village, owned by the Breitenau monastery, which was secularized two years later, in October 1527, in the course of the Reformation . Obviously, during or soon after the establishment of the Merxhausen High Hospital in 1533, Landgrave Philipp assigned this court to the hospital; This is documented at the latest for the year 1585, when two house seats are mentioned there. The Felsberger Salbuch from 1579 also mentions a manorial farm, the "Sunthof", with its own district, separate from Beuern, on the site of the former village.

In the 18th and 19th centuries, the farm was managed by several generations of the Strauch family, whether as a tenant or owner is unclear. By 1872 at the latest - and probably since the time of the short-lived Kingdom of Westphalia (1807–1813) - the court was a state domain. In 1843, 8 people lived on the Sundhof, which is part of the parish of Beuern, and in 1849 the same number is mentioned. After that, the property appears to have either been divided up or the settlement has been expanded to include more houses; according to the census of December 1, 1871, a total of 39 people lived on the Sundhof in four houses. In 1895 4 houses with 38 inhabitants were counted.
