history
middle Ages
The settlement was founded around 800 AD. The oldest surviving mention comes from the year 1167. The village belonged to the office of Schlüchtern , a fief of the bishop of Würzburg . Initially owned by the von Grumbach family , the village was inherited in 1243 by the Counts of Rieneck , who sold it to the Lords of Hanau in 1316 (from 1429: County of Hanau ). When Hanau was divided in 1456, Bellings became part of the County of Hanau-Munzenberg .
Early modern age
The County of Hanau-Münzenberg initially joined the Lutheran denomination during the Reformation , and was reformed from 1597 . Bellings was originally parish church in Schlüchtern, only since 1843 after Hohenzell. After the Reformation, the property as a Würzburg fief led to tensions between the now Lutheran County of Hanau-Münzenberg, which was reformed from 1597, and the Roman Catholic diocese of Würzburg. A long-term process before the Reich Chamber of Commerce lasted from 1571 to 1624 and ended with a restitution mandate from the Schlüchtern office in favor of Würzburg. From 1628 to 1631 it was therefore occupied by Würzburg, in the course of the Thirty Years War 1631–1637 again by Hanau and from 1637 again by Würzburg. In 1656 there was a comparison between Hanau and Würzburg, with Hanau receiving the office of Schlüchtern - and thus also Bellings - and leaving Orb to the diocese .
With the death of the last Hanau count, Johann Reinhard III. , Bellings fell in 1736 with the entire county of Hanau-Munzenberg to the Landgraviate of Hessen-Kassel , which in 1803 became the Electorate of Hesse .
Modern times
During the Napoleonic period, Bellings 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, Bellings belonged to the district of Schlüchtern . In 1866 the electorate was annexed by Prussia after the Austro-Prussian War and became part of the federal state of Hesse after the Second World War . Bellings changed the administrations to which it belonged accordingly. Since December 1, 1969, Bellings has been incorporated into the town of Steinau an der Strasse . With the Hessian regional reform , the district of Schlüchtern was dissolved in 1974, and Steinau and Bellings have been in the Main-Kinzig district since then .
