The village was first mentioned around 1398. In the Middle Ages it belonged to the Altenhaßlau court , from which the Altenhaßlau office developed, which belonged to the Hanau rulership , later to the Hanau county and finally to the Hanau-Münzenberg county . Before and after the Reformation , the village in Altenhaßlau was parish, in the 18th century its branch and later parish again. The Reformation took the Reformed direction here - as in the entire county of Hanau-Munzenberg - after 1597 . The place has had a Protestant church since 1965 . There is also a small Methodist church (built in 1960).

After the death of the last Hanau count, Johann Reinhard III. , 1736, Landgrave Friedrich I of Hessen-Kassel inherited the county of Hanau-Münzenberg and with it the village of Großenhausen on the basis of a contract of inheritance from 1643. In 1821, now located in the " Electorate of Hesse ", called Hesse-Kassel, the newly formed district of Gelnhausen was part of a fundamental administrative reform carried out there . From 1935 to 1938 the hamlet of Waldrode was founded on Birkenhainer Strasse .

As a result of the voluntary amalgamation of four previously independent communities, Großenhausen founded the community of Linsengericht together with Altenhaßlau , Eidengesäß and Geislitz on September 1, 1970 as part of the regional reform in Hesse . With the regional reform, the district of Gelnhausen became part of the Main-Kinzig district in 1974 .
