history

middle Ages

The oldest surviving mention of Gelnhaar is in a document from 1187 as Geldenhore , which Count Berthold II of Nidda issued for the benefit of the Johanniterkommende .

A settlement but can be detected before already 500 years. In the Middle Ages and early modern times, Gelnhaar belonged to the Ortenberg office , a condominium formed by three sovereigns from among the members of the Wetterau Counts' Association . For details see: here .

division

In 1601 there was a real division of the condominium. The village of Gelnhaar was divided, the Bleichenbach, which flows through the village, became the border. Half of the village on the right side of the stream now belonged to the Ortenberg Office and the County of Hanau-Münzenberg , from 1642: County of Hanau . The half on the left side of the stream now belonged to the Floßbach-Wenings court and the Isenburg county . This division is reflected today in the local coat of arms, which was created in 2002. During the Thirty Years War the village fell temporarily desolate . The extinct village was slowly repopulated.

The Protestant parish church in Gelnhaar is the Michaeliskirche . The current church building dates from the reign of the last Hanau count, Johann Reinhard III. , from the years 1728/29. It, like a number of other churches in the county, was built as a Lutheran church during this period . The builder was probably Christian Ludwig Hermann .

The Hanau half of the village coincided with the county of Hanau when the last Hanau count died in 1736 on the basis of an inheritance contract with the Landgraviate of Hessen-Kassel . The Hanau, later Hessian " Amt Ortenberg " formed part of the Grand Ducal Hessian Amt Ortenberg from 1810 onwards . In 1816 the Isenburg share also fell to the Grand Duchy.

Modern times

The economic hardship in the first half of the 19th century caused many residents to emigrate to the Volga , Hungary , Brazil and North America . Many also went to the up-and-coming industrial metropolises in the Ruhr area and the Rhine-Main area .

In 1821 the Grand Duchy formed the district of Nidda , into which all parts of the former Ortenberg office were merged and which was called Kreis Nidda from 1832 . With the revolution of 1848 the administrative district of Nidda was briefly formed, but in 1852 the district of Nidda was revived. It was not until 1868 that Gelnhaar was formally reunited after the school and church merger had already taken place in previous years. In 1874 the areas of the former Ortenberg district became part of the Büdingen district , which became part of the Wetterau district with the regional reform in Hessen in 1972 . Gelnhaar was in the course of municipal reform on 1 April 1972 in the city Ortenberg incorporated .
