Gomfritz was a monastery courtyard of the Schlüchtern monastery and came with this to the rule and later county of Hanau , from 1458 to the county of Hanau-Münzenberg and was assigned to the office of Schlüchtern . In the 15th century the place was a desert . The Schlüchtern monastery acquired the shares of the von Schlüchtern and Bens in the desert in 1439, 1452 and 1489. Also Hanau in 1459 had a share in it. In 1538 the farm was settled again. The County of Hanau-Münzenberg initially joined the Lutheran denomination during the Reformation , and was reformed from 1597 .
