history

In 1253, a village of Wildungen from the area south of today's village of Brehme was named as a fiefdom of Bodenstein . The desert Mark stretched on the northern edge of Ohm Hills between the Black Mountain, the Trogberg and the Rhone mountain and is predominantly in the local districts of today Wehnde and Kirchohmfeld . In the 14th and 15th centuries, various gentlemen had possessions there, including the Counts of Hohnstein , von Bodenstein , von Worbis , as well as the Quedlinburg Abbey and the Gerode Monastery . After the Counts of Hohnstein enfeoffed the Lords of Wintzingerode with Bodenstein Castle , they also came into the possession of the village of Wildungen. In 1483 the Abbess of Quedlinburg enfeoffed Dietrich von Uslar with the church fief to Wildungen.

The place was abandoned before 1500, from the first half of the 16th century it is called a desert. In 1572 a Ludolf von Uslar (the Lords of Uslar were the founders of the church in Wildungen) appointed a pastor for Wildungen. In 1564 the brothers Hans and Bertram von Wintzingerode shared their property in Wildungen. In the 19th century there were two dairies, Oberwildungen and Unterwildung . Oberwildungen belonged to the estate in Wehnde and Unterwildungen to the estate district Bodenstein-Tastungen.

Today only the remainder of a (church) tower reminds of the former village. In addition, the Wildunger Bach and the Wildunger Pond still exist today .

Lords of Wildungen

The noble family von Wildungen in Untereichsfeld had their ancestral home in Wildungen, where a fortified manor is believed to be. Presumably they were related to the neighboring noble family von Brehme . They also had some possessions in Eichsfeld outside of Wildungen and were tenants of the Quedlinburg monastery and the Mainz electors . In the 14th century they were also located in Duderstadt . When the gender of those from Wildungen became extinct, it cannot be proven exactly, the place then came to the Bodenstein court . The following representatives of the Lords of Wildungen are known:

  • Heinrich von Wildungen (1307, 1316) Burgmann at Fürstenstein Castle, renouncing land in favor of Teistungenburg Monastery
  • Heine (the same?) Von Wildungen (1342), Burglehen Burg Schfenstein
  • Rispe von Wildungen (1373) at a meeting of the princes and Eichsfeld knights near Duderstadt
  • Berlt von Wildungen (1440) issues a deed and is enfeoffed with a quarter in Inankshausen near Dingelstädt.
  • Berlt and Siegfried von Wildungen (1440) castle men at Scharfenstein Castle

Plus the legends

  • The Wildungen ruins are said to be the remainder of the Wildungen village church
  • But there is also said to have been a robbery castle in Wildungen. This was allegedly destroyed by Duke Albert von Braunschweig .
