history

Bettenhausen was first mentioned in a document in 850. The place was originally owned by the Neuenberg monastery near Fulda. In 1320/23 the Fulda towns of Seeba and Bettenhausen became the property of the Counts of Henneberg -Schleusingen and were incorporated into the Sand Office , but legally they belonged to the Kaltennordheim district . In 1350 they were pledged again to the Fulda monastery . After the pledge was redeemed in 1419, the two places belonged to the Henneberg office of Maßfeld , with which they came to the Duchy of Saxony-Meiningen from 1680 after the Hennebergs died out . A curiosity of the local history is that Fulda was able to assert feudal sovereignty over the village, which has otherwise been Henneberg since 1320, including church patronage until 1808.

On August 1, 1996, Bettenhausen became part of the municipality of Rhönblick , which was formed by ordinance of the Interior Minister of the State of Thuringia.
