Wiesenau (Hattmatt)
Wiesenau is a deserted area in the French community of Hattmatt in Lower Alsace .
history
The village Wiesenau ("Wiesentowe") belonged as a fiefdom of the Bishop of Metz to the Lords of Lichtenberg , after they had bought half of the village in 1372 from the Lords of Wilsperg and in 1384 another quarter from Johann von Kirkel . The tithe in Wiesenau was due to the Lords of Lichtenberg together with the monasteries of Selz and Maursmünster .
The Lords of Lichtenberg assigned Wiesenau to the office of Buchsweiler , which was created at the beginning of the 14th century as an office of the Lichtenberg rule . In 1354, the illegitimate daughter of Johann II (Hannemann) von Lichtenberg (1317 - † 1366), Agnes, received, among other things, income from Wiesenau as part of her trousseau when she married the knight Götz von Grostein .
Already in the 15th century the place is no longer mentioned and at that time it had fallen into desolation. Its district was later assigned to the village of Hattmatt.
