history

Probably due to the high fertility of the loess soils and the extremely plentiful supply of water, the area around Groß-Bieberau was already settled by arable farmers in the early Stone Age. This is proven by the numerous ceramic and jewelry finds from this time.

The place was first mentioned in a document in 787, and the town charter was granted half a millennium later, in 1312. Groß-Bieberau was owned by the Counts of Katzenelnbogen from 1312 to 1479 and fell to the Landgraviate of Hesse in 1479 the line of the Counts of Katzenelnbogen was extinct. Groß-Bieberau was in the judicial district of the district of Oberramstadt . The centering was divided into so-called "rice car," each of which a top magistrate board that the Zentgrafen were subordinated. This district had to provide a freight wagon ( rice wagon ) including draft animals and servants for campaigns. Groß-Bieberau belonged to the "Großbieberauer Reiswagen", which also included Waldhausen consisting of the places Niedernhausen , Billings , Meßbach and Nonrod as well as the villages Rodau , Wersau , and Neurod and Steinau . The entire district of Oberramstadt was assigned to the Lichtenberg office . This classification existed until the beginning of the 19th century.

In the historical documents, the place is documented under the following place names (the year it was mentioned in brackets): Biberahe, Biberae villa (1267); Bibera (1312); Biberauwe (1326); Bybera (1345); Beberaw, Bieberaw (1422); Büberauw, Büberauwe, Grossenbibra (1514); Great Bieberaw (1671).

The Thirty Years War, which only twelve residents survived, meant a severe setback for the city. The Landgraviate of Hessen-Darmstadt then became part of the Grand Duchy of Hessen in 1806 .

The statistical-topographical-historical description of the Grand Duchy of Hesse reports on Groß-Bieberau in 1829:
