middle Ages
The oldest surviving documentary mention dates back to 850. Butterstadt was initially administered from Roßdorf, as it was owned by the Antoniter branch there. The farms also belonged to the parish of Roßdorf. The Antonites had to transfer the best head to the Seligenstadt monastery since 1288 . The Antonite settlement was moved to the Antonite monastery in Höchst in 1441 .
At the end of the 15th century , Count Philipp I, the younger of Hanau-Münzenberg , bought all of the relics from the Seligenstadt monastery , which was in financial distress . The Archbishop of Mainz objected to this sale and Count Philip I had to return the relics to the monastery. As compensation, he received a number of villages and rights from the Seligenstadt monastery, including Butterstadt.

Modern times
In the county of Hanau-Münzenberg, the place was incorporated into the state sovereignty and the Büchertal office. However, the influence of the Antonites apparently remained so great that the Reformation , which was successful in the rest of the county, could not prevail here: Butterstadt remained Roman Catholic . A Roman Catholic church, Saint Boniface, was built from 1866 but was not consecrated until 1867 . The church building is owned by the political community, the city of Bruchköbel.
After the death of the last Hanau count , Johann Reinhard III. , In 1736 the Landgrave of Hessen-Kassel inherited the County of Hanau-Münzenberg and with it the Butterstädter Höfe. In 1803 the Landgraviate of Hesse-Kassel was elevated to the status of the Electorate of Hesse . During the Napoleonic period, the office of Büchertal and its villages were under French military administration from 1806, belonged to the Principality of Hanau from 1807–1810 , 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, Butterstadt came to the newly formed Hanau district .
From 1945 Butterstadt was an independent municipality. On the occasion of the regional reform in Hesse , Butterstadt joined other communities in the Bruchköbel community on December 31, 1971 . Butterstadt is the smallest district with a total of three streets.
