history

In the 13th century, Wildsprechtroda, located in the soft landscape of the city of Salzungen, was the home of a Fulda ministerial and Salzung family of Burgmanns. It was named after the place Willebrechteode . The well-to-do family donated their entire fortune to founding the Georgenzell Provost (near Rosa) . The place Wildsprechtroda with the Niederungsburg, on the site of today's castle , came first to the dynasts of Frankenstein . In the Frankenstein sales letter, Wildsprechtroda 1330 is recorded, and the next fief owners are Parakeet and Wilhelm Marschalk . They build a permanent house there - the Rudolphshof . From 1432 the Lords of Buttlar also received a share from Wildsprechtroda. Your first castle seat was the old castle - probably the Frankenstein castle. Today's castle was built in the Renaissance style in the 16th century and was the seat of the Buttlar-Wildprechtoda sidelines, which later also owned the neighboring village of Leimbach , five kilometers away . It consists of three buildings that are grouped around a tiny atrium and was once surrounded by a protective moat. The castle is again in the family ownership of the Buttlars and is being restored as far as possible.

After the Thirty Years' War, the Rudolphshof was also the second manor in the hands of the Butlers. As the sole patron saint of Wildsprechtroda, the Buttlars donated the building of today's church in 1683 . It replaces the existing Gothic chapel, which was damaged during the looting and devastation during the Thirty Years' War. (Buttlar was changed to Butler)

At the beginning of the 19th century, a geographical description contains the following information: Wildsprechtroda "- 224 inhabitants 112 males, 112 females. Gender. 190 buildings in total, 42 inhabited houses. Village, ½ hour south of Salzungen, on part of the armach coming from Langenfeld, with 2 manors, which are subject to civil jurisdiction over the place, branch of Salzungen with its own school ”.
