In 1418 Heilgershausen is mentioned again in the treaty of Johann von Wittgenstein and Godebert von Hatzfeld . After the seizure of Dotzlar and the payment of 300 florins , Godebert von Hatzfeld renounces the previously seized villages of Araff and Heilgershausen with all their shares and accessories. In 1439 the village was finally assigned to the Sayn-Wittgenstein family . At this time the place is already desolate.
