history

Territorial history

The oldest mention of the village dates back to 1222. It originally belonged to the " Zent Umstadt" and the Fulda Monastery , was pledged to the Hanau rulership in 1374 together with other villages in the area and belonged to the Hanau rulership from 1427 after the Electoral Palatinate entered this pawn shop to the Umstadt condominium . In a comparison between the Landgraviate of Hesse , the Electoral Palatinate and the County of Hanau-Lichtenberg , the place finally came to Hanau in 1521 and was added to the Babenhausen office there . Landowners in the village are among others the families of those von Eppstein and the Propstei Neuenberg of the monastery Fulda .

In the middle of the 16th century, Count Philip IV of Hanau-Lichtenberg introduced the Reformation .

After the death of the last Hanau count, Johann Reinhard III. , 1736, Landgrave Friedrich I of Hessen-Kassel inherited the County of Hanau-Münzenberg on the basis of an inheritance contract from 1643 , due to the intestate succession , the County of Hanau-Lichtenberg fell to the son of the only daughter of Johann Reinhard III., Landgrave Ludwig IX. from Hessen-Darmstadt . Disputed between the two heirs was the affiliation of the Babenhausen office and its villages to Hanau-Münzenberg or Hanau-Lichtenberg. There was almost a military conflict when Hessen-Kassel occupied most of the Babenhausen office, including Kleestadt, with the military already carefully stationed in Hanau . The dispute could only be ended with a settlement in 1771 after a long-standing legal dispute before the highest imperial courts , the so-called participation recess . In it, Kleestadt was awarded to Hessen-Kassel. In 1807, as a result of the Napoleonic Wars , the Babenhausen office came under French administration. By a state treaty with France in 1810, however, to the Grand Duchy of Hesse-Darmstadt .

The statistical-topographical-historical description of the Grand Duchy of Hesse reports on Kleestadt in 1829:

»Kleestadt (L. Bez. Dieburg) Lutheran parish village; is 2 pieces of Dieburg and 1 1 / 4 hrs from Umstadt, and has 98 houses and 556 inh., which are out of 15 Kath. 9 and Jews Lutheran. The church was built in the 15th century. There are significant peat graves here, in which over 200,000 pieces of peat are cut every year. - This place, the name of which is probably derived from Kletto, was an early property of the Eppenstein dynasty. In 1270 it was given as Witthum by Gottfried von Eppenstein to Elisabethe von Nassau, wife of Gerhard II von Eppenstein, and in 1403 a Gottfried von Eppenstein sold it to Herrmann von Carben and Conrad Krieg von Altheim for resale. This repurchase took place; because in 1425 Gottfried von Eppenstein sold it to Reinhard II, Count of Hanau, and in 1521 the place was taken over by Count Philipp III. from Hanau incorporated into his rule Babenhausen. After the exit of the Hanau-Lichtenberg line in 1736, this rule was divided by the comparisons of 1762 and 1771 between the two houses of Hesse, and Kleestadt fell to Hesse-Cassel. In 1807 the Hesse Casselsche share in the office of Babenhausen was seized by France and assigned to the Grand Duchy of Frankfurt, established in 1810, which, however, left this office to Hesse-Darmstadt in the same year. "
