history

Windehausen was mentioned several times in documents. Several variants of the name are known. The first mention of the desert is in the 13th century, followed by 1321. The known documentary evidence can be found in the following overview:

  • Windehus (13th century) [Directory of tithe income of Corvey Abbey, in: Liber vitae der Abtei Corvey, Vol. 1, p. 113, i.5]
  • Windehusen (1321) [Westphalian Document Book 9.4: Documents of the Diocese of Paderborn 1301 - 1325, pp. 953-954, No. 1990]
  • Wyndehusen (1399) [HStAM inventory document 85 No. 292]
  • Windehausen (1537) [Land register of the County of Waldeck]
  • Windehusen (1541) [Land register of the County of Waldeck]

In 1399, Count Adolf von Waldeck transferred his part of Windehausen to his brother Heinrich. By 1537, the Counts of Waldeck-Eisenberg had over 300 acres of arable land and considerable meadows in Windehausen, which were later owned by the Flechtdorf Hospital. The place probably fell in desolation before 1537. The field mark was later ordered from Flechtdorf and Mühlhausen.
