history

middle Ages

The village belonged to the Counts of Rieneck . Probably through the marriage of Ulrich I von Hanau (* 1255/60; † 1305/06) with Countess Elisabeth von Rieneck (approx. * 1260; † around 1300) around 1280 it came into the possession of the Lords of Hanau as a dowry . They pledged it to the Schlüchtern monastery in 1324 , with the oldest surviving mention of the place as Kempfenborn . It was then part of the rule and from 1429 the county of Hanau , from 1458 the county of Hanau-Münzenberg . In the Hanau rulership it belonged first to the Schwarzenfels office , later to the Lohrhaupten office . Coin finds prove Kempfenbrunn as a transit point of an old trade route. The village had had its own church since at least the 13th century .

Modern times

The Reformation was introduced in the middle of the 16th century , initially according to the Lutheran confession . In 1597, Count Philipp Ludwig II of Hanau-Münzenberg carried out a "second Reformation" in his territory: the county was now reformed . Kempfenbrunn and Lohrhaupten formed a common parish until 1701, which was assigned to the "class" ( dean's office ) Schlüchtern . The parish was then independent until 1801. From 1801 to 1834 it was again a branch of the parish of Lohrhaupten, then again a separate parish in the " Meerholz " class . The villages of Mosborn and Flörsbach were included as branches .

There were numerous mills in the village (Obermühle, Mittelmühle and Untermühle), which were supplied by an operating ditch derived from the Flörsbach.

After the death of the last Hanau count, Johann Reinhard III. , The village and office fell in 1736 - together with the entire county of Hanau-Munzenberg - to the Landgraviate of Hessen-Kassel , which in 1803 became the Electorate of Hesse . Here the Lohrhaupten office was dissolved with the administrative reform of the Electorate of Hesse in 1821, and Kempfenbrunn became part of the newly formed Gelnhausen district . In 1866 the electorate was annexed by Prussia after the German-Austrian War and Kempfenbrunn came to the state of Hesse after the Second World War .

In the course of the regional reform in Hesse , Kempfenbrunn formed the new municipality of Flörsbachtal together with the municipality of Flörsbach and Mosborn on April 1, 1972. The district of Gelnhausen was incorporated into the newly formed Main-Kinzig district in 1974 . Local districts were not formed.
