Thalitter is a district of the municipality of Vöhl , in the Itter valley near the Edersee in the northern Hessian district of Waldeck-Frankenberg .

history

The first documentary mention comes from the year 1586. A collection of barrows between Thalitter and Herzhausen, however, testifies to a much earlier settlement of the area.

The Itterburg

In the vicinity of the village are the ruins of the Itterburg, which was first mentioned in 1126 as the main farm “Ittera” in Ittergau . Owners were the lords of Itter . In 1058 a Wirheraldus von Itter is named, who probably built the Obere Burg , the first ancestral seat of his family, near Obernburg . In 1356 the last lord of Itter was stabbed to death (see Itter noble family, second house ). A branch of the Wolff von Gudenberg family was then mortgaged with the Itterburg and the Itter lordship and was now called "Wolff von Gudenberg zu Itter".

In 1815 the former King of Sweden, Gustav IV. Adolf , who lived in Switzerland and was deposed in 1809 , bought the ruins of Itterburg and from then on called himself Herr or Graf von Itterburg. His son, the Austrian Lieutenant Field Marshal Gustav Prince von Wasa , was the owner of the Itterburg from 1837.

In 1951 the municipality acquired the Itterburg site (approx. 8 hectares) for 18,000 DM .

Tax castle

Also in the district of Thalitter, about 800 m north-northeast of the village on the Dietrichsberg , are the remains of the Steuerburg , which was originally an outbuilding of the Itterburg.

Mountain church

Mountain church Thalitter

Around 1285 the Lords of Itter donated a Kreuzkapelle, which belonged to the diocese of Mainz , but the place ecclesiastically to the diocese of Paderborn . In 1353 the chapel fell to the parish of Obernburg and Thalitter and largely shared their history. The chapel was destroyed in the Thirty Years' War , largely rebuilt from 1660 and rededicated in 1663.

In the years 1715-16, instead of the Bartholomäus chapel of the Lords of Itter, the mountain church that still exists today was built by the chief mining inspector Ludwig Balthasar Müller and the mining union and miners' union. Two of the three bells bear inscriptions with which Müller inscribed himself in the local history. Müller died in 1746 and was buried next to his wife Ursula Marianne, who died in 1730, in the mountain church. A copper tombstone in front of the altar and an oil painting in the nave from 1730 commemorate him and his wife.

Copper mining

From 1709 to 1868 copper mining was operated with its own copper smelter, which made Thalitter a prosperous "free mountain town" with corresponding rights, whereby the Itter separated the village from mountain freedom. Some of the old abandoned tunnels and shafts still exist today. The first shaft was dug in 1709/10 in the Appelau between Thalitter and Dorfitter by Ludwig Balthasar Müller , who was then appointed by the Landgrave as a mining inspector and later as a senior mining inspector. This was followed by the construction of further tunnels and shafts in the district of Thalitter and the construction of a copper smelter in 1712. In 1715, Thalitter received a mining office , headed by Ludwig Balthasar Müller.

Itter thaler

The Itter-Taler was an exploitation coin that was minted in 1714 in honor and for the enrichment of the Landgrave, when the copper mine was cleared and could pay tithes . On one side the area around the mine was marked with the inscription “God has His rich blessings in you, Itter, want to put”, on the other the bust of the ruling Landgrave Ernst Ludwig was embossed.

Railway line

From 1900 the Korbach – Frankenberg railway line running through Thalitter was in operation with a 93 m and a 200 m long tunnel. It was shut down in 1987.

The reactivation of the railway line was decided on September 24, 2008 by the Hessian state parliament . Since September 11, 2015, trains have stopped in Thalitter again. The line connects Brilon and Korbach via Thalitter with Frankenberg (Eder) and Marburg (Lahn) ; in Korbach there is a connection to Kassel.

Territorial reform

On February 1, 1971, the municipalities of Dorfitter , Thalitter and Herzhausen merged to form the municipality of Ittertal as part of the regional reform in Hesse . On 1 January 1974, the municipality Ittertal was powerful state law with Hessenstein (consisting of the former municipalities Buchenberg , Ederbringhausen , Harbshausen , Kirchlotheim , Niederorke , Oberorke and Schmittlotheim ), Marie Hagen , Obernburg and Vohl for new large village Vöhl together . Local districts were established for all formerly independent communities .

Townscape

The townscape is still characterized today by numerous half-timbered houses . One of these buildings stands out, it is the three-story "Big House" , presumably for the Landgrave's son Georg III. (1632–1676) from Hessen-Darmstadt , who owned the Itter rule from 1661 until his death as Paragium , built as a manor and hunting lodge. Georg died before the construction work was completed and the Itter rule fell back to the main Hessen-Darmstadt line. It is not certain whether the house was ever used as a hunting lodge. From 1718 to 1868, as a landgrave or grand-ducal mining office building , it was also the seat of the mining inspector.
