Westendorf (desert)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Westendorf desert is located about one kilometer west of Großliebringen in the Thuringian Deubetal in Germany .

Evidence has been handed down from the desert to the west of Großliehaben in the imperial monasteries of Hersfeld and Fulda . Between 1447 and 1451, the place was destroyed in the Blackburg House War and the remaining residents settled in Großliehaben in Schlossgasse. For a long time, these 14 families formed their own congregation.

Literature research

  • Westendorf is mentioned in 845 in a probably forged document from the Hersfeld Monastery, which Wersebe mentioned in his book in 1836.
  • Archaeological research in the Liebringer Mulde has found sites in the 3rd century BC, including in Westendorf.
  • Documents from the 8th century have been handed down from today's deserted village. From an Ingelheim protocol of March 18, 876, Uuonisesthoph is named as Westendorf and in 1338 the same place Westendorff is written.
