history

The place Wellingeroyde was first mentioned in the 1368th It was a small village with a castle or a fortified residential tower and was owned by the Lords of Muterode (Mitterode). After they died with Lotze of Mitterode in 1425 Landgraf was Ludwig I of Hesse his ministerials and Burgmann Herman Diede and his sons Hermann and Louis as a fief the village Wellingerode with the bower , the village Mitterode, a free yard in the town of Sontra and 3 hooves in front of this city with all accessories. The place had a chapel and was parish after Mitterode.

In 1585 the former village of Wellingerode was only "the house".

When the baronial family of Diede zum Fürstenstein and Wilhelm Christoph , Royal Danish Minister of State and envoy of the Duchy of Holstein-Glückstadt to the Perpetual Diet in Regensburg , died out in the male line on December 1, 1807 , Jerome Bonaparte , King of Westphalia , took possession as a fallen fiefdom and gave it to his favorite Pierre Simon Meyronnet , whom he had already appointed Colonel and Grand Marshal of the Palace ( Oberhofmarschall ) and whom he made Count of Wellingerode on June 12, 1808.

When the Kingdom of Westphalia was dissolved, the estate fell back to the Electorate of Hesse-Kassel as a state domain and the title "Graf von Wellingerode" was extinguished. From 1895 the domain passed into the possession of the Prussian treasury as a chamber property .

Today the farm and the manor house are privately owned after several later changes of ownership.

Individual evidence

  1. ↑ Landgrave Regest online No. 3177. Regest of the Landgrave of Hesse. In: Landesgeschichtliches Informationssystem Hessen (LAGIS).
  2. ↑ The description in the Historical Ortlexikon Hessen that Count von Fürstenstein sold the place to the Westphalian Marshal Boucheporn before 1807 and that the latter then called himself Count von Wellingerode is incorrect in several ways: (1) Le Camus, Count von Fürstenstein, was not the owner of the place; (2) The court marshal (not marshal) Francois de Boucheporn was raised to baron and is not identical to Pierre Simon Meyronnet, who was raised to Count of Wellingerode in 1808 and whom Jerome Bonaparte had previously appointed Grand Marshal of the palace.
