Documentary

Beddelhausen was first mentioned in a document as "Bedelenhusen" in 1059. The spelling of the place name varied over the centuries.

In contrast to some other Wittgensteiner localities, Beddelhausen has presumably been continuously inhabited by people since its foundation. In 1391 a Heinrich von Beddelnhusen is mentioned who owned shares in an estate in Niederallendorf. The village has belonged to the Richstein family since 1538 and thus to their jurisdiction. The chapel is first mentioned in 1553. 1662 the place belongs to the Vogtei Elsoff and to the office Richstein. From 1819 Beddelhausen is part of the Schwarzenau district of the mayor. In 1845 he was assigned to the Arfeld office.
