History

edit

Prehistory

edit

In the present Drastrup remains have been found of a round barrow from antiquity.[3]

Early history

edit

In medieval place names the last particle -trup means ”secondary settlement”.[4] Drastrup is known from September 16, 1465,[5] when its peasants were tenant farmers of Essenbæk Abbey.[6]

Modern history

edit

After the Reformation, the king confiscated Essenbæk Abbey and its estate in 1540,[7] and when Drastrup was acquired on August 22, 1661, from the king by Hans Friis, there were six farms in the village.[8] Its location on moraine hills shows that agriculture was prioritized there, but cattle were probably kept on the meadows below the village.[2]

On March 18, 1695, Hans Friis gave[9] Essenbæk Home Farm (Essenbæk Ladegård), including adjoining estates, to his nephew Christian Friis,[10] who on February 15, 1726, incorporated them into the entailed estate of Tustrup.[11] On October 30, 1782, the king gave permission for the sale of the estate, and Essenbæk Home Farm was sold at auction at Tustrup on December 18, 1783, to Christian Kallager; the deed was signed on June 11, 1785.[12]

However, as early as June 10,[13] 1787, he sold it to Peter Severin Fønss and Johan Frederik Carøe.[14] In that year there were in Drastrup six farms, a smallholding and two houses,[15] in which resided 87 people.[16] Before the end of the following year the village was sold to the tenant farmers there,[17] who subdivided it among themselves.[18]

 
Drastrup School in ca. 1880.[19]

A newly built school was opened in Drastrup March 1, 1859,[20] and Drastrup Co-operative Society (Drastrup Brugsforening) was established in 1900.[21]

In the village the Virring-Essenbæk Municipality and the Årslev-Hørning Municipality opened September 1, 1959, the Sønderhald hundred Central School (Sønderhald herreds Forbundsskole),[22] also called the Sønderhald School (Sønderhaldskolen),[23] and February 1, 1960, the previous school there was closed as such.[22] Drastrup Co-operative Society was abolished in 1965,[24] but in 1968 a sports ground and a clubhouse were constructed at the Sønderhald School.[23]

From February 28, 1973,[25] the Sønderhald Municipality decided to expand the residential area of Assentoft East (Assentoft Øst) with inter alia parts of Drastrup, including the Sønderhald School,[25] so that the village is becoming surrounded by Assentoft.[26] However, the village environment, with several farm structures, is relatively well-preserved.
