history

The village was first mentioned in 1250 under the name "Erchenrod". The Gronau monastery owned a manor house here with a Hubengericht. In 1569 and 1631 there were eight households in Egenroth, in 1634 there were four, and in 1648 the village was empty. The settlement is located east of the Gronau monastery and the Altenberg.

Until 1775 the place belonged to the quadrilateral court on the Einrich (Hessisches Quartier), then came under sole rule of Hessen Kassel due to a division ( Nastätter Rezesse ) and was assigned to the Niedergrafschaft Katzenelnbogen . From 1806 to 1813 the region and thus also Egenroth was under French administration ( pays réservé ). In 1816 the place came into the possession of the Duchy of Nassau , which was annexed to the Kingdom of Prussia in 1866 as a result of the so-called German War .

After the First World War , during the Allied occupation of the Rhineland , the place was located in a corridor only a few hundred meters narrow between the bridgeheads on the right bank of the Rhine of the Americans around Koblenz and the French around Mainz. Until the military occupation by France in 1923, the area existed as a so-called free state bottleneck . Since the road between Zorn and Laufenselden was just in the French-occupied zone, the only free connection to the east into unoccupied Germany was only possible via field and forest paths from Zorn via Egenroth and then on to Laufenselden. After the Second World War , the place was in the American occupation zone and thus became part of the state of Hesse.

In the course of the regional reform in Hesse , Egenroth merged with 15 other municipalities on December 31, 1971 on a voluntary basis to form the municipality of Heidenrod . For Egenroth, as for all other districts, a local district with a local advisory board and local council was set up.
