The village of Vernawahlshausen is part of the Wesertal community in the Kassel district in Hesse .
location
Vernawahlshausen is located in northern Hesse in the Weserbergland between the Solling (in the north) and the Kiffing (mountain range in the south), behind which the Bramwald (in the south) and the Reinhardswald (in the southwest) are located. The small town of Uslar , which already belongs to Lower Saxony, is about four kilometers north, the municipality of Bodenfelde five kilometers west-northwest, the city of Göttingen 24 kilometers east-southeast and the north Hessian city Kassel 35 kilometers south-southwest (all distances as the crow flies ).
The place is at 135 m above sea level. NHN in the valley of the Schwülme , which flows into the Weser about four and a half kilometers west of Lippoldsberg , one of the administrative locations of the Wesertal municipality .
history
The "latest possible year as the date of the first mention" of Vernawahlshausen is the year 1233 - this mention comes from written disputes about lands of the later municipality Wahlsburg . In the records, Vernawahlshausen was mentioned as "Wahlshusen". The name was later changed to better distinguish it from election houses. Since the company was located further away from the seat of government at that time, the "Verna" was added. In the 18th century Vernawahlshausen was known as the largest linen bleaching company in Hessen.
The fact that people have been in this area before can be deduced from the discovery of a prehistoric artifact: Less than a kilometer north of the village center, around 1978, a villager in a potato field found a wide wedge drilled through. The approximately ten centimeter long ax comes from the Middle Neolithic ( Rössen culture ).
In the run-up to the Second World War , a kind of resistance movement against the policies of Hitler's National Socialists existed in Vernawahlshausen within and outside the social democratic workers. It was violently suppressed by them after 1933. On April 19, 1933, the mayor Quentin was deposed by the Hofgeismar district administrator Hans Graack (NSDAP) and temporarily transferred to the carpenter Theodor Henne. Later the NSDAP local group leader Eduard Blume took over the office of mayor.
The Second World War resulted in 84 deaths in Vernawahlshausen.
On February 1, 1971, the previously independent community was merged with the neighboring town of Lippoldsberg to form the large community of Wahlsburg, which merged with Oberweser to form the Wesertal community on January 1, 2020 .
Buildings
The oldest preserved building in Vernawahlshausen is St. Margarethenkirche in the center of the village. Its partly Romanesque architectural style suggests that the church was built before the place was first mentioned in a document. In the parish records, the oldest part of the church is the square choir or chancel. It is believed that it was built around 1100 as a Romanesque choir with a cross-crowned vault. According to tradition, there was an even older predecessor building, a chapel built in the 10th century by monks from the Corvey monastery , which was dedicated to Saint Margaret of Antioch .
The patrons of the church were the dukes of Braunschweig until 1293. Through an exchange of territory, the patronage came via the chapel to the Lippoldsberg monastery .
Medieval frescoes were discovered in the chancel in 1955 during renovation work. In the specialist literature, they are classified from "Romanesque to late Gothic".
Infrastructure
Road traffic
Only a few hundred meters north of Vernawahlshausen, the district road 449 runs from Uslar to Bodenfelde, over which sections of the tourist routes of the German Half-timbered Road , the German Fairy Tale Road and the Road of the Weser Renaissance lead. The federal roads 241 and 80 run through Uslar and the Weser valley . The next motorway exits are at Warburg and Breuna on the A 44 and at Göttingen, Nörten-Hardenberg and Northeim on the A 7 .
Rail transport
The station in the north of the town on the Solling Railway and the Göttingen – Bodenfelde railway line has been downgraded to a single-track category 7 stop. Today only trains between Ottbergen and Göttingen (" Oberweserbahn ") stop here . This traffic has been carried out by the NordWestBahn since December 2013 . The station building was demolished at the turn of the year 1971/72. It connected the Göttingen – Bodenfelde railway line with the Solling Railway located higher up via a staircase. It was thus possible to change trains in Vernawahlshausen. Today this is only possible in the neighboring Bodenfelde. As in Bad Karlshafen , the Hessian area is briefly used here .
Another regional station near Vernawahlshausen is in Uslar on the Solling Railway ; the Göttingen station is next stop of IC - / ICE trains on.
Economy and tourism
In the rural town, the agricultural sector hardly plays an economic role. Industrial companies no longer exist. In the vicinity of Vernawahlshausen there are numerous hiking opportunities in Bramwald , Kiffing , Reinhardswald and Solling , including the Eco path Kulturgeschichte Wahlsburg . Alongside the well-signposted eco path, there are numerous information boards in the village, e.g. B. to the church or to the bleaching meadows at the train station.
The Schwülme bike path also runs through the village. It is the connection with the lowest incline for cyclists from the Weser valley near Lippoldsberg (where the Schwülme flows into the Weser) via Lenglern into the Leinetal near Göttingen and mostly leads along cycle paths that are far from the road along the railway line.
Sights such as the castles and castle ruins of the Bram- , Kruken- , Saba and Trendelburg as well as the historic town centers of Hann. Münden and Uslar are nearby. The German Fairy Tale Route and the Weser Renaissance route from Uslar lead through Vernawahlshausen .
