By joining, Carl became sovereign prince over all the Isenburg lands (but Napoleon had to determine foreign policy and military). In addition to the former Imperial Principality of Isenburg-Birstein, the mediatized Ysenburg counties in Büdingen , Meerholz and Wächtersbach were incorporated into the new Principality of Isenburg (Rhine Confederation) , a unified state in the modern sense (Prince Carl Friedrich, for example, introduced the written form of administrative decisions, founded a servant widow's and orphan's fund, fire insurance for the buildings, regulated the free vaccination against smallpox by the medical officers and the disability benefits after military service). After the defeat of Napoleon ( Battle of the Nations near Leipzig ), Carl was one of the defeated (the Isenburg communities had to bear heavy loads of war), the territory of his principality became occupied enemy territory and was not exactly treated friendly by the later governor general, Freiherr von Stein .

From 1820 Eckartshausen belonged to the Marienborn office , from 1822 to the administrative district of Büdingen, from 1848 to the administrative district of Nidda and from 1852 to the district of Büdingen . In legal terms, the place belonged in 1820 to the lordly office of Marienborn (gentlemen of the former county of Ysenburg-Büdingen-Meerholz ), from 1822 to the district court of Büdingen , from 1853 to the district court of Altenstadt and after the entry into force of the judicial constitutional regulations (introductory law to the court constitution law ) of the Reich justice laws on 1 October 1879 to the district court of Büdingen .

In the run-up to the regional reform in Hesse , the municipality of Eckartshausen was incorporated into the city of Büdingen on a voluntary basis at the same time as other municipalities.
