Ebenhausen was originally owned by a local noble family of the same name. By marriage, the property passed into a line of the aristocratic Frankenstein family . After their extinction, the Aschacher line became the Henneberg owner. Bishop Albrecht von Hohenlohe acquired the castle and office of Ebenhausen from Count Berthold von Henneberg on June 8, 1353 . In the 150 years that followed, the office was pledged and redeemed several times.

The statistics of the Hochstift Würzburg from 1699 name 250 subjects in 17 villages. The following were deducted from the office as annual income for the Hochstift: Appraisal : 135 Reichstaler, excise and ungeld : 230 fl and smoke pound : 559 1/2 pounds.

After the transition to Kurpfalz-Bayern in 1802, the office was dissolved and the places were mainly assigned to the Euerdorf district court .
