Wintzingerode is a district of Leinefelde-Worbis in the Eichsfeld district in Thuringia .

location

Wintzingerode is located in the upper Hahletal on the southwestern edge of the Ohm Mountains , about three kilometers north-northwest of Worbis. The Bodenstein settlement immediately east of Bodenstein Castle also belongs to the place . Today the DRK-Bildungswerk Thuringia is located there. The place also includes extensive forest and pasture areas north of the two neighboring towns of Kaltohmfeld and Kirchohmfeld, which came to the village with the estate districts of Bodenstein and Adelsborn of the Counts and Barons of Wintzingerode .

history

In 1204 the place Wintzingerode is mentioned for the first time in a document in which the rights of the monastery Lippoldsberg to the tithe of some villages are sold to the monastery Pöhlde . The ancestors of the later counts and barons of Wintzingerode had their residence here. Bodenstein Castle is located above the village . The first mention of a church comes from the year 1389. In the 16th century the place, like their rule, adopted the Protestant faith. Around 1530 Wintzingerode was a desert village. By comparing the farmers from five villages with Hans von Wintzingerode in 1580, a resettlement was favored. In 1633 Heinrich von Wintzingerode set up a free school for the children of the feudal people.

In the American artillery bombardment on the evening of April 9, 1945, seven residents were killed, six of them women. On April 10th, the place was occupied without a fight. From the beginning of July 1945 Wintzingerode was also occupied by the Red Army and incorporated into the Soviet Zone .

Since March 16, 2004 the place belongs to the city of Leinefelde-Worbis.
