Widegavenhusa

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Widegavenhusa (also Witegowenhusen and other spellings) is a documented place in which the Weissenburg monastery owned. The desert is located in the north-western part of Baden-Württemberg in the area of ​​today's Heilbronn districts of Kirchhausen or Frankenbach , near Eppingen or near Bruchsal .

history

Widegavenhusa was first mentioned in a document on March 9, 843 in the copy book of the Lorsch Codex as a place in Gartachgau , when a Bernher made a generous donation to the Lorsch monastery for his soul's salvation . The other references are found in the Codex Edelini , a medieval land register of the monastery White Castle, decreed that in Witegovenhusa over much property and rights. Document No. 24 of the description of the goods states: 320 acres of Herrenland, meadows for 30 wagons of hay, labor and duties. Document No. 199 from 991 mentions a manor house and three dependent farms as well as a church, as well as 13 farms that had been abandoned, which could provide an indication of the warlike effects of the Hungarian invasions around 926. Then the documentary references are lost.

Localization

In the Lorsch document from 843 it says that the place was located in Gartachgau . In another donation from Bernher from 799, a Count Widegowo appears among the witnesses who owned property in Frankenbach and was probably the namesake for Widegavenhusa. In the Weißenburg list of goods the place is first mentioned in a row with Kirchhausen and Ascheim , later in connection with places in Kraichgau and the Rhine plain.

Mone suspected the location of Witegowenhusen in Landshausen . In 1893, Harster identified the place Witegowenhusen named in the Codex Edelini with Wittighausen in the Taubertal, presumably only because of the similar name, as there are no other regional references to this place. Büttner took up this ascription in 1953 and saw the place as a base in Weißenburg on the way from the Neckar crossing at Hochhausen to Hammelburg . This identification with Wittighausen, which is now considered outdated, was handed down in numerous more recent writings on the spread of Christianity in Eastern Franconia, which assume that the Tauber Valley was evangelized from Weißenburg.

In 1886, Bossert equated the places Widegavenhusa and Witegowenhusen named in the Lorscher and Weißenburg documents and based the documentary evidence and connections, localized the place in the Reistenhausen desert west of Heilbronn , in the suburb of Frankenbach. Beiler located the place in 1937 in the Heilbronn district of Kirchhausen. In 1957 Heim refused to identify with the Reistenhausen desert. In the German translation of the Codex Laureshamensis from 1970 Witegowenhusen was located again near Frankenbach, in the description of the country from 1980 again near Kirchhausen. In 2003, Wanner joined in the treatment of the Heilbron desert areas by localizing the place near Frankenbach or Kirchhausen.

Ott localized the place in 1962 based on the order in which it was named among the white castle owners together with Zaisenhausen and Derdingen in the southern Kraichgau near Bruchsal. Dette followed this localization in 1987 in the German translation of the Liber Possessionum .

Franz Gehrig located Witegowenhusen near Eppingen from the early 1970s, where the path names Wittenkeimer Weg and Welkamer Weg can be understood as possible colloquial shortenings of a possible Witengawenhuserer Weg and the second Eppinger parish as the successor to a former Witegowenhusener parish. In 1987, Röcker made the Eppinger Friedhof, where there was once a St. Peter's Church and in 985 a second royal court and where numerous old settlement finds were made, as a former settlement of Witegowenhusen. In 1990 Dettling finally saw the predecessor settlement of today's Eppinger district Mühlbach in Witegowenhusen , where an estate from the earliest times is occupied.
