history
8-12 century
In 799 the abbess of the Milz Monastery , Emhilt, gave goods to the Fulda Monastery for "Irminolteshusum" (= near the houses of Irminolt). The place was mentioned for the first time in this document. Poppo III lived in the 12th century. (* before 1131; † 1160) von Henneberg in the castle and took the name of the place of residence in his name. Poppo III. von Irmelshausen thus became the founder of the Hennbergisch-Popon branch line of the Lords of Irmelshausen . Around 1199 this name expired again, as the children and grandchildren of Poppo III. named after other headquarters as Lords of Lichtenberg and Lords of Sternberg . The affiliation of the place Irmelshausen is not clear. While Poppos III. second son Poppo V. († 1199) presumably chooses Irmelshausen as ancestral seat, his son Heinrich II named himself after the castle Sternberg . Poppos V's younger brother Gotebold IV († after 1187), on the other hand, referred to himself as “von Lichtenberg” (1168–1176) and “von Irmelshausen- Habesberg ” (1169).
13-14 century
Gotebold IV von Irmelshausen-Habesberg died around 1186. He presumably had a daughter who married the noble free Adalberg von Hildenburg . Since he called himself Lichtenberg after the rule in 1212 , she probably brought Lichtenberg and Irmelshausen into this marriage. Through the marriage of Adalberg's daughter Adelheid with Count Otto II von Botenlauben, the son of the famous minstrel Otto von Botenlauben , in 1228 , the property came to the Hennbergisch-Goteboldische branch line of the Count von Botenlauben . Count Otto II. Of Botenlauben was in 1228 with the approval of Adelaide's many of the extended hilde burg goods to the Bishopric of Würzburg to fief . Shortly before the Botenlauben line died out in 1251, she sold all of her property. From the inheritance of the Counts of Botenlauben, Irmelshausen came to Otto's nephew Hermann I von Henneberg (* 1224, † 1290) with other Lower Franconian goods as Würzburgisches Stiftslehen .
In 1249 he formed the "Neue Herrschaft Henneberg" ( Care Coburg ) from his territories , which fell to the Electorate of Brandenburg after the Henneberg-Coburg line died out in 1291 through the marriage of Hermann's daughter Jutta . With the marriage of Jutta's granddaughter Jutta von Brandenburg with the son of Prince Count Berthold VII von Henneberg-Schleusingen, Heinrich VIII, the Coburg foster family came to the dowry of the duchy of Henneberg-Schleusingen in 1312. When Prince Count Heinrich VIII died in 1347, the property of the House of Henneberg-Schleusingen was divided between his widow and Heinrich's younger brother Johann I , and Jutta was again awarded the new rule. With Jutta's death in 1353, the New Rule was divided among three of her daughters, Elisabeth , Katharina and Sophie, as heirs.
15-18 century
Through the marriage of the heiress of Sternberg and Irmelshausen, Countess Elisabeth von Henneberg-Schleusingen († 1389) with Count Eberhard II of Württemberg , the places came to him, who sold it with other properties to the Bishopric of Würzburg in 1354 pledged the lords of Bibra .
In 1466 the Irmelshausen branch was separated from the Mendhausen parish and became an independent parish. Five years later, a new church dedicated to St. Jacob was built. In 1511 Valentin von Bibra was enfeoffed with patronage. It only went out in 1974 with the death of his descendant Sigismund von Bibra. The Reformation was introduced by Baron von Bibra in Irmelshausen around 1540 .
In 1514 the Irmelshausen moated castle was enlarged. Under Hans von Bibra, three new wings were built in 1556–61, the so-called. "Hansenbau". A short time later, Irmelshausen belonged to the "Bernhardinischen tribe" of the lords of Bibra under the progenitor Bernhard von Bibra (1562-1609). His son Hanns Christoph von Bibra (1602–1636) was the founder of the Lutheran line Irmelshausen, which was later divided into the 1st older branch with two branches and the 2nd younger branch. From the 16th to the 18th century, the Lords of Bibra were part of the imperial knighthood in the knightly canton of Rhön-Werra of the Franconian knightly circle because of the possession of Gleimershausen (today part of the municipality of Rhönblick ), Irmelshausen and Aubstadt .
19th and 20th centuries
With the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss of 1803, the mediatization of imperial direct classes began on a larger scale. The Irmelshausen manor was abolished as part of the domain of the Barons of Bibra together with the neighboring villages of Höchheim and Aubstadt by the Rhine Confederation Act of 1806 and incorporated into the Grand Duchy of Würzburg .
With the dissolution of the Rhine Confederation in 1814 and the resolution of the Congress of Vienna , most of the Grand Duchy of Würzburg fell to the Kingdom of Bavaria . From 1817 Irmelshausen belonged to the Lower Main District , which was renamed Lower Franconia and Aschaffenburg (later just Lower Franconia) in 1838 . In legal terms, Irmelshausen belonged to the Königshofen Regional Court and from 1862 to the Königshofen District Office in Grabfeld. Since 1918 this has been in the Free State of Bavaria . The Königshofen district office was renamed the Königshofen district in Grabfeld in 1939 .
As part of the regional reform on July 1, 1972, the previous districts of Königshofen im Grabfeld and Mellrichstadt were incorporated into the Bad Neustadt an der Saale district. On May 1, 1973 it was renamed the Rhön-Grabfeld district . On January 1, 1978 Irmelshausen was incorporated into Höchheim . The castle in Irmelshausen is still in the hands of the von Bibra family.

In 1710, the Irmelshausen “Weiberkitz”, which is still celebrated every three years on Shrove Tuesday, can be documented for the first time. According to tradition, the women are allowed to celebrate the festival because they saved an Irmelshäuser Zentschöffen on the way back from court day in Königshofen from a snowdrift from certain death.
