history

middle Ages

The oldest surviving mention of Hintersteinau comes from the year 950. The church patronage lay with the Schlüchtern monastery , with the oldest surviving evidence from 1167. Initially in the possession of the von Grumbach , the lords of Trimberg inherited the village in 1243 as part of the Schlüchtern court (later: Amt Schlüchtern ), a fiefdom of the Bishop of Würzburg . In 1377 the Lords of Hanau (from 1429: County Hanau ) received it in exchange for Bütthard Castle . When Hanau was divided in 1456, Hintersteinau became part of the County of Hanau-Münzenberg .

Early modern age

The County of Hanau-Münzenberg initially joined the Lutheran denomination during the Reformation , and was reformed from 1597 . The property as a Würzburg fief therefore led to tensions between the evangelical county Hanau-Münzenberg and the Roman Catholic diocese of Würzburg. A long-term process before the Reich Chamber of Commerce lasted from 1571 to 1624 and ended with a restitution mandate from the Schlüchtern office in favor of Würzburg. 1628–1631 it was therefore occupied by Würzburg, in the course of the Thirty Years War from 1631 to 1637 again by Hanau and from 1637 again by Würzburg. In 1656 there was a comparison between Hanau and Würzburg, with Hanau receiving the office of Schlüchtern - and thus also Hohenzell - and leaving Orb to the diocese for it .

With the death of the last Hanau count, Johann Reinhard III. , Hintersteinau fell in 1736 with the entire county of Hanau-Munzenberg to the Landgraviate of Hessen-Kassel , which in 1803 became the Electorate of Hesse .

From 1699 there is a record of the local school . The first school building was built in 1785.

Modern times

During the Napoleonic period, Hintersteinau 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 . Then it fell back to the Electorate of Hesse. After the administrative reform of the Electorate of Hesse in 1821, during which the Electorate of Hesse was divided into four provinces and 22 districts, Hintersteinau belonged to the district of Schlüchtern . In 1866 the electorate was annexed by Prussia after the Austro-Prussian War and became part of the federal state of Hesse after the Second World War .

On July 1, 1974, Hintersteinau was incorporated into the town of Steinau, today "Steinau an der Straße", in the course of the regional reform in Hesse . At the same time, the district of Schlüchtern was dissolved and Hintersteinau has since been located with the town of Steinau in the newly created Main-Kinzig district .
