Geographical location

The village is located west of the main town, which is only a short distance away, on the western edge of the Knüllgebirge in northern Hesse at the foot of the Sendberg ( 339  m above sea level ), on which the court on the Sendberg met until the end of the 13th century , on the Todenbach. Bundesstrasse 254 runs to the east . The district road 63 leads through the place.

history

The place is first mentioned in 1197 as "Deidenhusen"; In that year the nearby Spieskappel Monastery , which had acquired the entire village by 1522 at the latest, had income there. The Lords of Bischhausen were also important landowners on the spot, but over time they renounced their property there in favor of the Haina and Spieskappel monasteries : it is documented that Wernher II von Bischhausen and his sons opposite the Haina monastery in 1254 renounced their goods in "Thudenhusen", and that Werner von Löwenstein-Westerburg in 1317 renounced goods in the district of Thodenhusen, which the late Reinhard von Todenhausen had owned, and handed them over to the Spieskappel monastery. Spieskappel purposefully increased his property in the village through purchases, gifts and inheritances, and in 1522 the entire village with all rights was in his hands, at that time leased to eight farmers and eight Kätner ("Kodener").

The tithe was soon owned by the Spieskappel monastery. As early as 1301, Count Gottfried VI transferred to him . von Ziegenhain received half of the tithing on site, and in 1341/42 the monastery received the other half, which the lords of Holszadel had previously owned as a Ziegenhain fiefdom .

A chapel is mentioned as early as 1383; it was parish in Spieskappel, and the patronage belonged to the Oberkappel women's choir . Today's Johanneskapelle is a half-timbered church from the 19th century. It was renovated in 1987/88 and has been used as a Protestant church again since 1988.

On December 31, 1971, the place was incorporated into the municipality of Frielendorf.
