Geographical location

history

The place was first mentioned as Hasela in 1240 . At that time Dietrich von Bardenhausen and his wife bequeathed their property in Altenhaßlau to the Meerholz monastery .

The village was since the Middle Ages for centuries the seat of the Court Altenhaßlau to get out of the office Altenhaßlau developed that the rule Hanau , later the county of Hanau and ultimately to Hanau-Münzenberg belonged.

After the death of the last Hanau count, Johann Reinhard III. , In 1736, Landgrave Friedrich I of Hessen-Kassel inherited the County of Hanau-Münzenberg and with it the office and village of Altenhaßlau on the basis of an inheritance contract from 1643. This led, among other things, to the fact that the village increasingly lost its central function to the neighboring city of Gelnhausen, which since 1746 also belonged to the Landgraviate as a whole. In 1821 the village, now in the " Electorate of Hesse " called Hessen-Kassel, came to the newly formed district of Gelnhausen when a fundamental administrative reform was carried out there . With the Hessian district reform , this district then became part of the Main-Kinzig district on July 1, 1974 .

The municipality of Linsengericht was founded on September 1, 1970 as part of the regional reform in Hesse through the voluntary amalgamation of the four previously independent municipalities Altenhaßlau, Eidengesäß, Geislitz and Großenhausen.
