history

( Roman past of the Holzhausen area)

Holzhausen belonged to the Counts of Katzenelnbogen within the spell fences . Outside of this it was four-lordly. After the Katzenelnbogen family died out in 1479, the katzenelnbogic part fell to the Landgraves of Hesse . These introduced the Reformation in 1527.

After the death of Philip the Magnanimous in 1567, Holzhausen first fell to Hessen-Rheinfels and, after the line there died out in 1583, to Hessen-Kassel .

During the Thirty Years' War the area was occupied by Hessen-Darmstadt in the meantime , but came back to Hessen-Kassel in 1647/1648. Until 1806 it belonged to this.

Then the Niedergrafschaft Katzenelnbogen was under French occupation and administration for 7 years ( pays réservé , 1806–1813) and thus also Holzhausen.

In 1813 it came back to Hessen-Kassel at short notice and was added to the Duchy of Nassau as a result of an exchange deal after the Congress of Vienna in 1815 and 1816.

Holzhausen came to the Duchy of Nassau in 1816 and belonged to the office of Nastätten . After the German War in 1866, the Kingdom of Prussia annexed the Duchy of Nassau and thus also Holzhausen. From then on, Holzhausen belonged to the Prussian province of Hessen-Nassau .

After the First World War , Holzhausen was occupied until the French withdrew in 1929. At the end of the Second World War , on March 28, 1945, American troops moved into Holzhausen at 10:00 a.m. Holzhausen then came into the French zone of occupation and in 1946 became part of the newly formed state of Rhineland-Palatinate .

Holzhausen belonged to the Unterlahnkreis until 1969 and from then on to the Rhein-Lahn-Kreis and there to the association community Nastätten .

mayor

Around 1250, a certain Helwig is named for Holzhausen an der Haide , who held the office of mayor in Holzhausen . Then it was not until the 17th century that mayors of the municipality were known. Around 1694 Cornelius Bereß was named mayor, around 1711 Johann Jacob Fuhr was named in the same position.
