history
middle Ages
The oldest surviving mention of Breitenbach comes from 1167. The village belonged to the office of Schlüchtern , a fief of the bishop of Würzburg . Initially owned by von Grumbach , the village was inherited by the von Trimberg lords in 1243 . In 1377 the Lords of Hanau (from 1429: County Hanau ) received it in exchange for Bütthard Castle . When Hanau was divided in 1456, Breitenbach became part of the County of Hanau-Münzenberg .
Early modern age
After the Reformation, the property as a Würzburg fief led to tensions between the now Lutheran County of Hanau-Munzenberg , 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. It was therefore occupied by Würzburg from 1628 to 1631, again by Hanau in the course of the Thirty Years' War from 1631 to 1637 and again by Würzburg from 1637. In 1656 there was a comparison between Hanau and Würzburg, with Hanau receiving the office of Schlüchtern - and thus also Breitenbach - and leaving Orb to the diocese .
With the death of the last Hanau count, Johann Reinhard III. , Breitenbach fell in 1736 with the entire county of Hanau-Munzenberg to the Landgraviate of Hessen-Kassel , which in 1803 became the Electorate of Hesse .
Breitenbach was originally parish after Kressenbach, since 1788 it belonged to the parish of Wallroth.
Modern times
During the Napoleonic period, Breitenbach 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, during which the Electorate of Hesse was divided into four provinces and 22 districts, Breitenbach 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 . Breitenbach changed the administrations to which it belonged accordingly. Since December 1, 1969, the village has been part of the town of Schlüchtern. With the Hessian regional reform , the district of Schlüchtern was dissolved in 1974 and Breitenbach has been in the Main-Kinzig district since then .
