The old village Leisenberg is also listed in the literature under the name Leisenrode (not to be confused with the hamlet of Leisenrode an der Weper). These desolations mostly date from the time between 1200 and 1400 AD, when the settlement density was halved in a wide area. The plague used to be responsible for this. Often, however, it was planned relocations of a village to a neighboring village for economic or organizational reasons. For this purpose, the half-timbered houses were partially dismantled and their valuable beams were reassembled in new places. This is what happened, for example, when the village of Omborn moved to Herberhausen or Grobenhagen to Scheden.

Leisenberg church ruins with the abandoned village of Le(i)senberg. A document from 1309 attests to the construction and donation of the Le(i)senberg church. It belonged to the property of the Catlenburg Monastery, founded in 1105 by Count Dietrich III. The surrounding area shows visible layers of former farmland (high fields, also called Wölbäcker). The village and church became deserted around 1460/70.
