Leisenberg Church Ruins

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). Most of these desolations date from between 1200 and 1400 BC. When the settlement density halved in a wide area. The plague used to be responsible for this. Often 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.

The village Leisenberg is first documented in 1281. In 1309 a chapel is reported. Already in 1460, the place was apparently abandoned and left over time.

In 1984, the ruin was restored and saved from further deterioration.
