history
middle Ages
The oldest surviving mention of the place comes from 1290. The place belonged to the Altengronau court , which came to the Hanau rulership in 1333 as an imperial loan from an inheritance from the Rieneck family. The Schwarzenfels Office of the County of Hanau emerged from the court in the 15th century ; from 1459: County of Hanau-Münzenberg . Schwarzenfels Castle was the seat of the bailiff until the middle of the 16th century .
Surname
The name is probably derived from the dolerite basalt of the Hopfenberg, on the slope of which Schwarzenfels was formed. In surviving documents, Schwarzenfels was mentioned under the following names (the year it was mentioned in brackets):
- Swarzenfels (1290)
- Swarcefels (1305)
- Zwarzenfils (1361)
Modern times
The County of Hanau-Münzenberg initially joined the Lutheran denomination during the Reformation , and was reformed from 1597 . The parish of Schwarzenfels was parish after Mottgers.
In 1643 the Schwarzenfels office - and with it the town of the same name - was handed over to the Landgraviate of Hessen-Kassel as a pledge along with other securities . It was supposed to guarantee Hanau's debts, which arose in connection with the liberation of the city of Hanau from the siege by imperial troops in 1636 against the Landgraviate of Hessen-Kassel. The Counts of Hanau were no longer able to redeem this pledge from Hessen-Kassel. The office was administered like landgrave property in the following period. Even after Hessen-Kassel in 1736, after the death of the last Hanau count, Johann Reinhard III. , which inherited the county of Hanau-Munzenberg, it was not reunited with it.
In 1803 the Landgraviate became the Electorate of Hesse . During the Napoleonic period, Schwarzenfels was under French military administration from 1806, belonged to the Principality of Hanau from 1807 to 1810 and then from 1810 to 1813 to the Grand Duchy of Frankfurt , Department of Hanau . Then it fell back to the Electorate of Hesse. After the administrative reform of the Electorate of Hesse in 1821, under which the Electorate of Hesse was divided into four provinces and 22 districts, Schwarzenfels belonged to the Schlüchtern district . In 1866, after the Austro-Prussian War , the electorate was united (annexed) with the Prussian monarchy by law .
In the course of the regional reform in Hesse , the municipality of Sinntal was formed on July 1, 1972 through the voluntary merger of the previously independent municipalities of Mottgers, Schwarzenfels and Weichersbach. For Schwarzenfels, a local district with a local advisory board and local councilor was formed for the remaining parts of the village .
