Wehren is a district of Fritzlar in the Schwalm-Eder district in northern Hesse .
geography
The village with around 300 inhabitants is located on a sloping slope towards the east of the Ems valley in the middle of an almost forest-free, fertile and intensively agricultural plain that belongs to the Fritzlarer Börde . Around a quarter of the local population is still active in agriculture, which is very productive due to the fertile soils. In the village, which is still very rural, there are still many old half-timbered houses typical of the region and testify to the architecture of old masters. About 300 m southeast of the village on the Eder tributary Ems is the mill Wehren at the northwest foot of the Mühlenberg (207.2 m). The Kingelborn brook, which flows from Haddamar in the west, flows into the Ems south of Wehren.
1 km west of the village are the remains of Forkenburg , an early medieval hill fort .
Neighboring places are Dorla in the east, Werkel in the southeast, Haddamar in the west, Lohne in the northwest, Kirchberg in the north and Gleichen in the northeast. The core town of Fritzlar is about 4 km (as the crow flies) to the south, Gudensberg about as far to the east.
Transport links
In the local area, the district roads K 79 from Werkel in the south to Kirchberg in the north and the K 80 from Dorla to the federal road 450 not far north of Haddamar meet. The federal motorway 49 runs about 1 km southeast of the village and can be reached in Gudensberg. The B 450 from Fritzlar to Wolfhagen runs in a north-south direction 1.5 km west of the village.
Worth seeing
- Village church
The small village church is located on a slight elevation in the center of the village. It is an elongated Gothic rectangular building that may still contain some Romanesque parts. In 1687 and 1765 the church was renovated; the old west tower was demolished. The galleries date from the second half of the 17th century, the pulpit is from 1687.
The former church and cemetery is now a small park surrounded by trees; the new cemetery is about 150 further east near the eastern outskirts.
- Court linden tree
To the south of the church, at the foot of the churchyard wall, directly on the street, is an old village linden tree, once probably a court linden tree . Their age is estimated to be 200-300 years. The distinctive roots of the 19-meter-high summer linden tree , designated as a natural monument , run above street level along the retaining wall.
history
The place was first mentioned in 1209 as "Werhene". The written rendering of the place name , apart from orthographic variations, has hardly changed since then.
In 1259 the place was referred to as "villa", in 1272 as landgrave "curia", and in 1283 again as "villa". Only later was there talk of a village. It belonged to the Landgraviate of Hesse , which was formed from 1247 under Sophie von Brabant and her son Heinrich I from the Hessian possessions of the Ludowingers , who were no longer male . The Low jurisdiction was mostly in the nearby area resident noble families who had locally owned and by Landgrave thus invested were.

Century, and finally the Lords of Heßberg from 1612 to 1823 as local court lords .
In addition to these landlords and court lords and the landgrave himself, church institutions in particular had property and / or income from weirs. The Fritzlarer St. Petri-Stift had rent and interest income to defend as early as 1209 and at least until 1450. The German Order bought during the late 13th and substantial in the first half of the 14th century property in weirs: 1272 a court of Landgrave Heinrich I, 1274 a court of Hasungen Abbey , 1277 a Hube from the convent Breitenau , 1283 a Hube from Heinrich von Treysa, 1318 a grain valid from the Gudensberg mayor Wigand von Wehren as well as half a hat from Albert Hobemann von Wehren and finally in 1348 a court from Fritzlar citizens. The monastery Hardehausen acquired in 1284 and 1288 goods to weirs by the Lords of Gudensberg and 1333 two Mansi of Volpert of Alnhusen and Hermann of Borken. The Weißenstein monastery is also mentioned as a landowner when it promised the priest Ludwig Holzhusen interest from two farms to defend himself in 1472.
