history
middle Ages
The oldest surviving written mention of the place comes from the year 1356. Heubach belonged to the Altengronau court , which came to the Hanau rulership in 1333 as an imperial loan from an inheritance from the Rieneck family. The Schwarzenfels Office of the County of Hanau emerged from the court in the 15th century ; from 1459: County of Hanau-Münzenberg .
Modern times
In 1643 the Schwarzenfels office - and thus also Heubach - was handed over to the Landgraviate of Hessen-Kassel as a pledge, along with other securities . It was supposed to vouch for Hanau's debts that arose in connection with the liberation of the city of Hanau from the siege by imperial troops in 1636 against Hessen-Kassel. The Counts of Hanau were no longer able to redeem this pledge from Hessen-Kassel. In the following period the office was administered like landgrave property, even after Hessen-Kassel in 1736, after the death of the last Hanau count, Johann Reinhard III. , inherited the entire county of Hanau-Munzenberg.
In the Electorate of Hesse , Heubach belonged to the district of Schlüchtern after the administrative reform of 1821 .
Reorganization
On the occasion of the Hessian regional reform , the municipality of Heubach was incorporated into the neighboring municipality of Uttrichshausen on December 31, 1971 . On August 1, 1972 Uttrichshausen was incorporated into the municipality of Kalbach.

Attractions
The former state synagogue in Heubach is a well-preserved and superbly restored structure of this type. It is a cultural monument according to the Hessian Monument Protection Act and was awarded the Hessian Monument Protection Prize. Today it is used as a museum and as an event location and is looked after by a development association. Pastor Johanna Rau received the Obermayer German Jewish History Award for her services to the rescue and renovation of the former synagogue . In terms of secular buildings, a farmhouse of the "single-roof courtyard" type is worth seeing. The door arch to the cellar vault bears the year "1615". Intended for implementation in the Hessenpark, the cultural monument was lovingly restored by the owner on site, and traces of fire from the Thirty Years' War were also discovered.
