Wendhausen (Salzgitter)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wendhausen is a deserted settlement that lay in the south of today's city of Salzgitter .

location

Wendhausen was about 500 m northwest of Hohenrode , 1000 m southwest of grid and about 2 km east of Ringelheim . Two medieval trade routes ran near the village , here the "Frankfurter Heerstraße" (road from Frankfurt via Seesen to Braunschweig ) crossed the trade route between Hildesheim and Goslar . The settlement was not far from today's crossing on a hill north of the Innerste , the Abelschen Berg (also called Nabelberg in some sources ). The demarcation of the place reached from the height of the lattice mountain to the innermost.

history

The first mention of Wendhausen comes from a document from Otto I from 941. In this document, the king placed the newly founded Ringelheim monastery under his protection and confirmed its possessions, including lands in Wendhausen, then called Wendthusen . According to the Ringelheim monastery, Wendhausen had six to eight farms in operation around 1200. In another, by Pope Innocent III. The cloister's certificate of ownership from 1209 lists eight Hufen land and two mills in Wendhausen .

At that time, the Counts of Wohldenberg had jurisdiction over the place. In 1227 they pledged these together with their rights in the neighboring towns of Hohenrode and Söderhof and their two mills in Wendhausen to the Ringelheim monastery. In 1251, the monastery succeeded in converting this pledge into a final purchase.

Wendhausen then became an outbuilding of the monastery. The place is then no longer mentioned in later documents. It is believed that the place was abandoned around 1350 for fear of robbery attacks and that the residents moved to the more secure Hohenrode.

Wendhausenstrasse in Hohenrode still reminds of the desert . The Wendhäuser pond was also located northwest of Hohenrode in the area of ​​the former settlement of Wendhausen, which was drained between 1822 and 1840.
