history

The place was first mentioned in a document in 1231. Since about 1124/1149 there was already a double monastery of the Premonstratensians in Immichenhain , which was converted into an Augustinian choir monastery around or soon after 1286 . In 1355, Graf was John I of Ziegenhain the monastery Immichenhain be at the monastery situated village, called the grove, with all the rights and accessories, but excluding the high and low jurisdiction . The monastery then remained the dominant landowner on site until it was secularized by Landgrave Philip I of Hesse in 1527.

In 1538 , Landgrave Philipp enfeoffed his chamberlain and secret councilor Konrad Diede zum Fürstenstein with half of the former monastery property Immichenhain including accessories, d. H. the farms of Volkershof and Niederberf . The other half was used to finance court and state administration and parish costs . This fiefdom was renewed and expanded in 1544: it now comprised the monastery property including the building yard, the village of Immichenhain with the local Weinzapf, the Volkershof as well as income from Leimbach , Neukirchen , Riebelsdorf , Holzburg and the tithe to Niederberf. The Diede zum Fürstenstein family, ennobled in 1596 , remained in the possession of the estate and village of Immichenhain until the death of Wilhelm Christoph Diede zum Fürstenstein in December 1807. In the former monastery church, today's Protestant parish church of Immichenhain, there are five grave slabs or epitaphs of Diede zum Fürstenstein.

In 1807, Jérôme Bonaparte , King of Westphalia by his brother's grace , moved in Immichenhain as a fallen fiefdom and gave it, together with the castle and lordship of Fürstenstein , as a hereditary man fief to his favorite Pierre Alexandre le Camus , with the title of Count von Fürstenstein. When the Kingdom of Westphalia was dissolved, this property fell back to the Electorate of Hesse-Kassel as a settled fiefdom .
