history
middle Ages
The earliest surviving documentary mention as an erpestate comes from the year 1237. In 1398, heir town belonged to Windecken Castle , which was owned by the lords and later counts of Hanau . Erbstadt thus belonged to the Windecken office . The monasteries Naumburg and Ilbenstadt owned farms in Erbstadt. The latter, the "Pfaffenhof", has been preserved. Ecclesiastically the village belonged to the Ilbenstadt monastery, but had its own pleban .

Erbstadt was mentioned in documents that have been received under the following names (the year of mention in brackets):
- Erpestat (1237)
- Eberstadt (1266)

Modern times
In 1561 Count Philip III bought from Hanau-Münzenberg the neighboring Naumburg winery , the secularized Naumburg Monastery. In the same year he assigned the village of Erbstadt to this winery, which had previously belonged to the Windecken district. As a village in the county of Hanau-Munzenberg , Erbstadt was initially Lutheran during the Reformation and reformed in 1597 with the "Second Reformation" in the county under Count Philipp Ludwig II . After the Reformation until the middle of the 17th century, the parishes of Erbstadt and Eichen were connected, then Erbstadt was for a short time a branch of Windecken , later of Eichen.
The Naumburg winery - and thus also Erbstadt - was part of an estate that was pledged in 1643 by the County of Hanau to the Landgraviate of Hessen-Kassel . The reason was financial claims from Hessen-Kassel to the County of Hanau-Münzenberg from the liberation of the city of Hanau by troops of the Landgraviate in 1636. The pledge was no longer released. 1736, after the death of the last Hanau count, Johann Reinhard III. , the entire county of Hanau-Munzenberg fell to Hesse-Kassel, but was still used for 50 years as a secondary school for younger princes of the House of Hesse-Kassel, first for Wilhelm (VIII.) 1736–1751, then for Wilhelm (IX.) 1760– Used in 1786. During this time Erbstadt remained outside of this secondary school with the Landgraviate of Hessen-Kassel. It was not until 1786 that the Naumburg winery was reintegrated into the now Hesse-Kassel county of Hanau. In 1803 the Landgraviate of Hesse-Kassel was elevated to the status of the Electorate of Hesse . During the Napoleonic period, Erbstadt 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, Erbstadt was assigned to the newly formed Hanau district .
On the occasion of the regional reform in Hesse , the municipality of Erbstadt was incorporated into the city of Nidderau in the Hanau district on a voluntary basis on December 31, 1971 . For Erbstadt, as for all parts of the city, a local district with a local advisory council and a local mayor was set up. At the end of the territorial reform in 1974, the district became part of the Main-Kinzig district .
