Territorial history

In the Holy Roman Empire , the village initially belonged to the Kaichen Free Court . Since 1269, the Teutonic Order acquired goods and rights in the place. Since 1424 the "Deutschordenhof" can be proven by documents. In the early 18th century the courtyard was converted into the Teutonic Order Castle in Kloppenheim . Since the beginning of the 18th century, Kloppenheim was the seat of a German order commander in the Ballei Franken . In 1719 the order was able to acquire sovereign rights over the place from the Burggrafschaft Friedberg and remove the place from the free court. In 1809 Kloppenheim fell to the Grand Duchy of Hesse .
