Local heritage book of Dingelstedt

Dingelstedt am Huy is located about 12 km northwest of Halberstadt, on the north side of the Huy, in the district of Harz in Saxony-Anhalt.  About 1300 people live there. The village was founded around the Üppelquelle (Üppel - a small brook). Dingelstedt was first mentioned in documents in the 11th century.
The place name Dingelstedt is probably composed of the words Thing (Germanic meeting place) and stedt (dwelling place).

Dingelstedt am Huy consists of the villages Dingelstedt am Huy, Röderhof, Mönchhai, Huysburg, Arbketal, Forsthaus Ziegenkopf and Gambrinus.

Due to potash mining in neighboring Wilhelmshall, Dingelstedt am Huy, like other villages in the area, experienced a boom. The connection to the railroad network is mentioned here as an example.
Today, the old railroad line from Vogelsdorf via Dingelstedt to Schwanebeck is used as a cycle path, where the last section from Eilenstedt to Schwanebeck is currently being extended.
In the town, one can find many brick buildings from the second half of the 19th century. As in other places around Dingelstedt, sugar beet cultivation was a source of prosperity. Dingelstedt is also known for its cherry orchards.
The Huysburg, which is clearly visible above Dingelstedt on the north side of the Huys, must be mentioned. The Benedictine monastery was founded around 790 as a military station. It was first mentioned in 977 in a deed of gift from Emperor Otto II to Bishop Arnulf of Halberstadt.
Since April 1 2002, Dingelstedt and ten other villages form the municipality of Huy.
More information about Dingelstedt am Huy can be found on the Internet.

The spelling of the surnames was different and changed multiple times. Examples are Besarg - Wesarg, Lehr - Löhr, Boggelsack - Bögelsack, Hohmann - Homann,  Keiser-Keyser-Kaiser or Hopfe-Hoppe.

This local family book should be a research aid. It is not a binding document.
Contents - as of May 2023: Baptisms 1740 - 1892, Deaths 1741 - 1890, Marriages 1747 - 1903.
Unfortunately, the available records on Dingelstedt am Huy are not complete, so there are gaps in the local family book.

According to the terms of use, here is the link to the catholic church records:

I would be very pleased to hear any hints and additions.
Good luck with the reading.
