history

middle Ages

The village of Holzhausen was in the Lichtenau district of the Lichtenberg rule . It was a fiefdom of the Bishop of Strasbourg , with the first loan probably taking place in 1274. In 1335, the middle and younger lines of the House of Lichtenberg divided the country. The office of Lichtenau - and thus Holzhausen - fell to Ludwig III. von Lichtenberg , who founded the younger line of the house.

Anna von Lichtenberg (* 1442; † 1474) was the daughter of Ludwig V von Lichtenberg (* 1417; † 1474), one of two heirs with claims to the rule of Lichtenberg . In 1458 she married Count Philip I the Elder of Hanau-Babenhausen (* 1417, † 1480), who had received a small secondary school from the holdings of the County of Hanau in order to be able to marry her. The county of Hanau-Lichtenberg came into being through the marriage . After the death of the last Lichtenberger, Jakob von Lichtenberg , an uncle of Anna, Philipp I. d. Ä. 1480 half of the Lichtenberg rule. The other half went to his brother-in-law, Simon IV. Wecker von Zweibrücken-Bitsch . The office Lichtenau belonged to the part of Lichtenberg that the descendants of Philipp and Anna inherited.

Early modern age

Count Philip IV of Hanau-Lichtenberg (1514–1590), after taking office in 1538, consistently carried out the Reformation in his county, which now became Lutheran . In 1590 the village had about 70 inhabitants.

In 1618 Count Johann Reinhard I von Hanau-Lichtenberg sold the tithe from Holzhausen (and Hausgereut ) to a Samuel Hugwart from Strasbourg . After the Thirty Years' War there was a legal dispute about it that lasted until 1683. During the Thirty Years' War and the wars of the late 17th and 18th centuries, the village was largely spared, as it was not on one of the major thoroughfares. In 1670 only one farm had been given up.

After the death of the last Hanau count, Johann Reinhard III. , In 1736 the inheritance - and with it the office of Lichtenau with Holzhausen - fell to the son of his only daughter, Charlotte von Hanau-Lichtenberg , Landgrave Ludwig (IX.) Von Hessen-Darmstadt . Up until 1785, Holzhausen and Hausgereut formed their own judicial district, which was dissolved because Hausgereut and Rheinbischofsheim merged. In 1790 the village had 250 inhabitants.

Modern times

With the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss , the office and Holzhausen were assigned to the newly formed Electorate of Baden in 1803 . At the transition from Holzhausen to Baden, the village had 241 inhabitants. After the end of Napoleonic rule, the village owed 10,083 guilders .

On April 1, 1974, Holzhausen was incorporated into Rheinbischofsheim . On January 1, 1975, Rheinbischofsheim and Freistett were united to Rheinau.
