history

Neolithic

The area of ​​today's district of Kilianstädten was settled more than 7000 years ago during the Neolithic Age, namely by members of the earliest farming society in Central Europe, the linear ceramicists named after their decorations on ceramic vessels with a band pattern of angular, spiral or undulating lines . In the area of ​​Neuer Weg / bypass L3008, for example, indications of at least 18 longhouses built by the linear ceramists were found. Of particular scientific importance in 2006 was the discovery of the Kilianstädten massacre , in which at least 26 Neolithic children and adults were killed by blunt violence and arrow injuries and then carelessly deposited in a mass grave .

middle Ages

The oldest surviving documentary mention of the village comes from the year 839. Since the Middle Ages , Kilianstädten has belonged to the territory of the rulership and later County of Hanau , from 1458: County of Hanau-Münzenberg , and here to the office of Büchertal . The oldest documentary evidence of membership in Hanau dates from 1326.

In 1302 a priest was named for the first time. The patronage lay with the Lords of Reinberg as the Isenburg fiefdoms . The latter were also the owners of the court in Kilianstädten and were later replaced in this function by those of Auerochs . In the 16th century the patronage was disputed between Reinberg and Brauneck. Before the Reformation, the central church authority was the Archdeaconate of the Provost of St. Maria ad Gradus in Mainz, Landkapitel Roßdorf .

Modern times

In the middle of the 16th century, the Reformation took hold in the county of Hanau-Münzenberg, initially in its Lutheran form. In a "second Reformation", the denomination of the County of Hanau-Munzenberg was changed again: From 1597 Count Philipp Ludwig II pursued a decidedly reformed church policy. He made use of the Jus reformandi , his right as sovereign to determine the denomination of his subjects, and enforced this largely as binding for the county, also in Kilian cities. The higher church authority was now the consistory in Hanau , the middle authority of the pastors of Windecken .

After the death of the last Hanau count, Johann Reinhard III. , In 1736, Landgrave Friedrich I of Hessen-Kassel inherited the County of Hanau-Münzenberg and with it the office of Büchertal and Kilianstädten on the basis of an inheritance contract from 1643. In 1803 the Landgraviate of Hesse-Kassel was elevated to the status of the Electorate of Hesse . During the Napoleonic period, the office of Büchertal was under French military administration from 1806, belonged to the Principality of Hanau from 1807–1810 and then from 1810 to 1813 to the Grand Duchy of Frankfurt , Department of Hanau . Then it fell back to the Electorate of Hesse. After the administrative reform of the Electorate of Hesse in 1821, under which the Electorate of Hesse was divided into four provinces and 22 districts, the office of Büchertal was added to the newly formed district of Hanau .

In the course of the regional reform in Hesse , the community of Schöneck was created on December 31, 1970 through the voluntary amalgamation of the previously independent communities of Büdesheim, Kilianstädten and Oberdorfelden. For Kilianstädten, as for all formerly independent communities of Schöneck, a local district with a local advisory council and local councilor was formed according to the Hessian municipal code.
