history

The progenitor of the line was Wilhelm von Hessen-Philippsthal , the second son of the paraged Landgrave Philip I of Hessen-Philippsthal , who received the small Paragium Philippsthal in 1685 and founded the Hessen-Philippsthal line. Castle Philippsthal had Philip I and in the following of his elder son Karl 1685-1735 on the basis of following the Reformation repealed hersfeldischen built monastery Kreuzberg. The younger son Wilhelm built the baroque Wilhelmsburg Palace in Barchfeld on the site of a previously demolished Boyneburg palace between 1690 and 1732 .

After the Electorate of Hesse , together with its Mediatfürstentümern by the Prussian annexation of 1866 had lost its independence, the two secondary lines Hessen-Philippsthal and Hesse-Philippsthal-Barchfeld 1880 were of Prussia from the Hessian Fideikommiss an annual pension of 300,000 marks and the castles of Rotenburg and Schonfeld (in Kassel), which was sold in 1906. Rotenburg was then sold in 1932 and Wilhelmsburg Castle in Barchfeld in 1938. Today the family has their seat at Augustenau Castle in Herleshausen , where they manage their possessions inherited from the main line Hessen-Philippsthal, which became extinct in 1925 .

The Hessen-Kassel branch lines Hessen-Philippsthal-Barchfeld and Hessen-Kassel-Rumpenheim are the only lines of the House of Hessen that still exist today.
