Protestant church

The village of Ellinberg was first mentioned in a document in 1357, when Landgrave Heinrich II of Hesse agreed with the abbot of the Breitenau monastery that in the Ellinberg court the lower jurisdiction should belong to the abbot and the higher jurisdiction to the landgrave.

In 1585 the first church was built. The present day church dates from 1787.

The steles by Ellenberg found in 1907 and 1923/24 belong to the rare ornate archaeological rarities in the Fritzlar-Kassel area , along with the waves menhir .

Territorial reform

On February 1, 1971, the municipality of Ellenberg was incorporated into the municipality of Guxhagen as part of the regional reform in Hesse .

Population development

The village, which was once dominated by agriculture, experienced forced population growth in the last years of the war and the first few years after the war, due to the reception of bombed out people, refugees and displaced persons . After that, the population gradually declined again due to emigration, before it grew again relatively quickly from the 1960s onwards with the development of new building areas in the south of the village.
