history

middle Ages

The names of the two places indicate an emergence around 800 in connection with the beginning of the clearing and the development of the state in the Vogelsberg area during the high Middle Ages . However, clear written evidence of the existence of the two villages comes from a much later period.

The oldest surviving mention of Nösberts can be found as Noßwarts in a wisdom about the Riedeselian court Altenschlirf-Schlechtenwegen from November 20, 1480. Weidmoos, however, is only mentioned in a letter from the Crainfeld pastor Ludwig Wagenhausen to the Fulda prince Johann III. of March 13, 1525 mentioned as Wyt Maß .

During the feud between the Riedeseln and the Fulda Monastery in 1467, the Riedesel courts in Schlechtenwegen and Moos were devastated and Nösberts and Weidmoos were burned down. It took until the beginning of the 16th century for the villages to recover. In this context, it has been assumed that Weidmoos originally stood like Nösberts on the left bank of the Schwarza , where the old cemetery of the village is now, and that after the feud it was rebuilt on the right bank in its current location.

Early modern age

From the time they were first mentioned until the beginning of the 19th century, both villages were always under the rule of the Riedesel family and belonged to the Schlechtenwegen court , whose seat was moved to Altenschlirf in 1680. In Nösberts and Weidmoos, the Riedesel ordinances were considered to be particular law . The Common Law applied only to the extent those regulations did not contain provisions. Theoretically, this special right retained its validity even while it belonged to the Grand Duchy of Hesse in the 19th century, but only individual provisions were used in judicial practice. The particular law was replaced on January 1, 1900 by the civil code that was uniformly valid throughout the German Empire .

The children from Nösberts and Weidmoos first attended school in the parish of Altenschlirf. Only after 1782 were schools founded in both villages. In 1803 the Nösberts community built its own schoolhouse, and in 1805 the Weidmoos community.

Modern times

With the incorporation of the rule Riedesel zu Eisenbach into the Grand Duchy of Hesse in 1806, Nösberts and Weidmoos also became Hessian. Both localities were initially administered as part of the Altenschlirf office and after the new Hessian municipal and district regulations came into force in 1821, they became part of the Herbstein District (from 1825 Lauterbach District). In 1848 Nösberts and Weidmoos were temporarily incorporated into the Alsfeld administrative district and belonged to the Lauterbach district since 1852 .

In the cadastre of Weidmoos from 1818 14 houses with barns and stables, 1 schoolhouse (2 floors high) with stables, 1 bakery and a rear building with stables are mentioned. As a result of the poor economic situation, numerous families emigrated mostly to America around the middle of the 19th century. In Weidmoos, seven farms were given up between 1843 and 1851. Weidmoos therefore only existed as a small settlement of seven farms. Most of the emigrants' properties were bought up and demolished by the Riedesel rulers . The schoolhouse was also superfluous afterwards. It was demolished around 1855. All places in the Lauterbach district lost several farms at this time, but the effects were only so drastic for Weidmoos.

Between 1831 and 1857 the road from Lauterbach to Gedern was built, which also led through Nösberts and thus connected the two communities to a local transport connection for the first time.

Because of their relatively small population, the two communities Nösberts and Weidmoos formed a joint mayor's office . After the number of inhabitants had decreased further in the 19th century due to emigration to America , a joint mayors' association was formed with Bannerod and Vaitshain in 1887 . This lasted until 1908, after which Nösberts and Weidmoos received their own mayor again.

In the Franco-Prussian War from 1870 to 1871 , the Nösberts community had to mourn one person killed. Six men from Nösberts and three men from Weidmoos never returned from the First World War . In the Second World War , 17 Nösbertser and five Weidmooser died as soldiers. The evacuees and displaced persons who came to both villages after the war lost two relatives as dead.

Village community center in Nösberts (former school)

In 1908 the Nösberts community built a new schoolhouse that was also intended for the schoolchildren from Weidmoos. In 1910 and 1911, Nösberts and Weidmoos were given a joint water pipe, and in 1923 they were connected to the power grid of the Oberhessen overland plant . In 1901 the Oberwaldbahn between Lauterbach and Grebenhain was opened, which was extended to Gedern in 1906. The railway line passed above Nösberts, which was given its own station there. The branch line remained in operation for passenger traffic until 1975. The tracks were dismantled in 1997.

During the time of National Socialism , on April 1, 1938, the merger of the two municipalities of Nösberts and Weidmoos, which had been independent until then, despite shared mayorship. From then on, the new community was called Nösberts-Weidmoos . The merger was not reversed even after the end of the Nazi regime.

In 1953 the Volkshaus was built in Nösberts as a forerunner of the village community center and a pumping station for the water pipe, 1967–1968 the construction of a new elevated tank and 1969–1971 the construction of the local sewerage and the new Nösberts through-town. Between 1960 and 1970 the Nösberts-Weidmoos district was reorganized through land consolidation . In this context, the Weidmoos cemetery was also closed in 1963. Since then, all burials have taken place in the Nösberts cemetery.

Nösberts-Weidmoos since the regional reform

In the course of the regional reform in Hesse , the municipality of Nösberts-Weidmoos joined together with ten neighboring municipalities on December 31, 1971, formally and voluntarily to form the newly formed large municipality of Grebenhain. Since August 1, 1972, the dual village has also been part of the then newly formed Vogelsberg district . The one-class elementary school in town had to be closed in 1968 as a result of the school reform in Hesse in favor of the new central school ( Oberwaldschule ) in Grebenhain. The now vacant schoolhouse was subsequently converted into a village community center.

After the territorial reform came into force, an extension to the village community center was built in 1981, a new fire station was built in 1983 and a sewage treatment plant was built in 1999-2000 . In 2009 Nösberts-Weidmoos was included in the Hessian village renewal program .

religion

Originally Nösberts and Weidmoos belonged to the parish of Crainfeld, founded in 1011 . In 1524, during the Reformation , the villages of the parish located in the area of ​​the Riedesel zu Eisenbach were separated from the mother church on Hessian territory and raised to the status of an independent parish of Nieder-Moos. The then Crainfeld pastor Ludwig Wagenhausen protested against this unauthorized act in 1525 with a letter to the then Fulda abbot Johann III, in which the place Weidmoos is mentioned for the first time. His efforts were unsuccessful, however, and the parish Nieder-Moos remained under the rule of the Riedesel, who introduced the Reformation there in 1528 and thus also in Nösberts and Weidmoos. Until 1672, both villages belonged to Nieder-Moos ecclesiastically, before they were added to the newly founded parish Altenschlirf, to which they still belong today. Up until 1945, neither of the two purely Protestant villages ever had their own church or chapel.
