history

The area of the Rhön was also called Buchonia in the High Middle Ages . The mountainous landscape was evangelized in the west by Bonifatius (sphere of influence of the imperial monasteries Fulda and Hersfeld ) and in the south and east by Kilian ( diocese of Würzburg ), which is still remembered by numerous church foundations and field names. Reinhards was first mentioned in 1116 as Reginheres . Reinhards has been part of the Rockenstuhl Office of Fulda since the 13th century, which was only moved to the city of Geisa in the 17th century. The parish church was in Spahl. The neighboring Tann dominion formed a center of the Reformation in the Rhön in the 16th century . The religious struggles and social tensions raged in the upper Ulstertal around Geisa, with the Catholic side having the upper hand. From 1632 to 1634 Wilhelm V of Hessen-Kassel ruled the imperial monastery as Prince of Buchen . In the Peace of Prague in 1635, the imperial monastery was restituted. The numerous war damage in the Fulda area was repaired under Prince Abbot Joachim von Gravenegg (1644–1671). With the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss 1803, the clerical principality and its monasteries were dissolved. The Fulda possessions went to Friedrich Wilhelm von Oranien-Nassau , until 1806 Napoleon I annexed the province of Fulda. In 1810 it became part of the Grand Duchy of Frankfurt .

The townscape of Reinhards (around 1880)

At the Congress of Vienna in 1815 the province was dissolved and after a year-long Prussian administration, the " Geisaer Ländchen " came to the Grand Duchy of Saxony-Weimar-Eisenach . The border location often prevented an economic development of the place, which consists of about 5 farmsteads and further individual houses.

A small chapel was created for the Catholic population of the district. Bishop Hugo Aufderbeck and the Vacha dean Ferdinand Dallwig were arrested at an altar consecration in 1972 .

From March 24, 1994 to December 31, 2008, Reinhards formed the Rockenstuhl community together with Geismar, Ketten, Spahl, Walkes and Apfelbach .
