The municipality of Hünstelden was created as part of the regional reform in Hesse on October 1st, 1971 through the voluntary amalgamation of the previously independent municipalities of Dauborn, Heringen, Kirberg, Mensfelden, Nauheim, Neesbach and Ohr. The name "Hünstelden" was chosen because of the numerous megalithic tombs from the Hallstatt period around the Heringen and Ohr districts. The community had 6952 inhabitants when it was founded.

Mensfelden can refer to the earliest documented mention of the year 775. Dauborn, Heringen and the meanwhile submerged village of Bubenheim in the area of ​​today's Kirberg followed in 790 in the Golden Book of the Prüm Abbey . Via Publica and Hühnerstraße (today's federal highway 417) ran through what is now the Hündener area . In 1355 a castle was built in Kirberg .

The Cistercian convent Gnadenthal was founded in 1235 , and in 1590 it was equipped with a large abbess house. After the Reformation, the complex became a state domain in Nassau . The Christian community of Jesus Brotherhood has existed there since 1969 .
