The oldest surviving mention of Gunzenau comes from a document from 1012 in which it is called Guncenaho .

In Gunzenau the Riedesel'schen ordinances were considered as particular law . The Common Law applied only to the extent those regulations did not contain provisions. Theoretically, this special right retained its validity even while it belonged to the Grand Duchy of Hesse in the 19th century, but only individual provisions were used in judicial practice. The particular law was replaced on January 1, 1900 by the civil code that was uniformly valid throughout the German Empire .

On December 31, 1971, the place was incorporated into the municipality of Freiensteinau as part of the regional reform in Hesse .
