history

Early modern age

The place was created around 1685 as an extension of Thalfröschen in place of the deserted Schonenbach ( Schönbach ). It was initially called " Oberfröschen ", " Neufröschen " or " Bergfröschen" . Later the name " Höhfröschen " came up. The village belonged to the office of Lemberg in the county of Hanau-Lichtenberg and there to the official school of frogs .

1736 died with Count Johann Reinhard III. the last male representative of the Hanau family. Due to the marriage of his only daughter, Charlotte (* 1700; † 1726), with the Hereditary Prince Ludwig (VIII.) (* 1691; † 1768) of Hesse-Darmstadt , the county of Hanau-Lichtenberg fell there.

Modern times

In the course of the French Revolution , the left bank of the Hanau-Lichtenberg county - and with it the Lemberg and Höhfröschen office - fell to France in 1794. After the end of Napoleonic rule Höhfröschen came to the Bavarian Rhine District , later Palatinate (Bavaria) .

Thalfröschen, Höhfröschen and Biebermühle formed the community of Fröschen until 1959 .
