history
Großmaischeid was first settled in the Middle Bronze Age (1550–1200 BC). This is confirmed by discovered during the construction of the highway (1937-1939) tumuli between greed Hofen and Großmaischeid. In the year 80 AD the Romans built the Limes border wall , which ran about 6 km southwest of Großmaischeid. Today's district Großmaischeid was forested before the settlement. It was a natural landscape that was probably cleared between 850 and 1300 AD.
The first documentary mention as Metscheid took place on January 20, 1148 through a confirmation document from the Laach Abbey (today Maria Laach Abbey ) from Pope Eugene III. In this letter to the Laacher abbot Gilbert († 1152) the Pope mentioned the Salic tithe (decimae salicae) at Maischeid , which was attributed to a gift from Rembold von Isenburg (1092–1121) . This donation obviously served to equip the Laach monastery, which was founded in 1093.

coat of arms
|
|
Blazon : “Late Gothic semicircular shield split from silver in front of blue; in front two red bars, behind a continuous high cross. " |
| Reasons for the coat of arms: The front part refers to the coat of arms of the Niederisenburg rulership, to which the towns of Großmaischeid and Kausen belonged until 1664 and represents the Isenburg basic colors of the Rembold tribe. The horizontal cross ties or bars can be found in the old court seal of the community of Großmaischeid. The rear part shows a cross, which symbolizes an old Christian parish and is based on a representation in the left Gothic window of the apse in the parish church of the village. |
Territorial reform 1974
As part of the territorial reform in Rhineland-Palatinate, which took effect on March 17, 1974, the previously independent municipality of Kausen was incorporated into the local municipality of Großmaischeid.
