history

middle Ages

Hainchen was first mentioned in a document on October 7, 1322 as zum Heyne (near) Lintheim . At that time the place name was Zu dem Hain . In 1319 a pastor is mentioned, so a parish existed. Their church was dedicated to Saint Margaret . The patronage lay with the Counts of Hanau . Höchst an der Nidder also belonged to the parish . The parish belonged to the Archdiocese of Mainz . Before the Reformation, the central church authority was the Archdeaconate of the Provost of St. Maria ad Gradus in Mainz , Landkapitel Roßdorf .

Modern times

The village belonged to the Naumburg winery , which Count Philipp III. von Hanau-Münzenberg bought in 1561. As a village in the county of Hanau-Munzenberg , Erbstadt was initially Lutheran during the Reformation and reformed in 1597 with the "Second Reformation" in the county under Count Philipp Ludwig II .

In 1643 the winery - and thus also Hainchen - was pledged by the County of Hanau to the Landgraviate of Hessen-Kassel . The reason was financial claims from Hessen-Kassel to the County of Hanau-Münzenberg from the liberation of the city of Hanau by troops of the Landgraviate in 1636. The pledge was no longer released. 1736, after the death of the last Hanau count, Johann Reinhard III. , the entire county of Hanau-Munzenberg fell to Hesse-Kassel, but was for 50 years as a secondary school for younger princes of the House of Hesse-Kassel, first for Wilhelm (VIII.) 1736–1751, then for Wilhelm (IX.) 1760– 1786, used. During this time, Hainchen remained outside of this secondary school with the Landgraviate of Hessen-Kassel. It was not until 1786 that the Naumburg winery was reintegrated into the now Hesse-Kassel county of Hanau. In 1803 the Landgraviate of Hesse-Kassel was elevated to the status of the Electorate of Hesse . During the Napoleonic period, Hainchen was under French military administration from 1806, belonged to the Principality of Hanau from 1807 to 1810 , and then from 1810 to 1813 to the Grand Duchy of Frankfurt , Department of Hanau . Hainchen then fell to the Grand Duchy of Hesse and was incorporated into the Ortenberg office, which was opened in the district of Nidda in 1821 , and from 1832: Nidda district. Due to the revolution of 1848, Hainchen belonged to the Nidda administrative district for a short time until 1852 , and then to the Büdingen district . As part of the regional reform in Hesse , Hainchen came to Limeshain as a district on December 31, 1971. On August 1, 1972, the district of Büdingen was part of the Wetterau district.
