history
middle Ages
Kurzenhausen was bought from the landgrave in Alsace by the Lords of Lichtenberg in 1332 and assigned to their office in Brumath . It was an imperial fief. Although it was bought in 1332, the first loan to Lichtenberg did not take place until 1347 when King Charles took office, which was generally due for a new loan .
Anna von Lichtenberg (* 1442; † 1474), one of Ludwig V's two heirs, married Count Philip I the Elder of Hanau-Babenhausen (* 1417; † 1480) in 1458, who had a small secondary school from the County of Hanau had received in order to be able to marry her. The county of Hanau-Lichtenberg came into being through the marriage . After the death of the last Lichtenberger, Count Jakob, one of Anna's uncle, Philip I d. Ä. In 1480 half of the Lichtenberg rule, the other half went to his brother-in-law, Simon IV. Wecker von Zweibrücken-Bitsch . The Brumath office was initially a condominium between Hanau-Lichtenberg and Zweibrücken-Bitsch. Under the government of Count Philip III. From Hanau-Lichtenberg there was then a real division: The Brumath office came entirely to Zweibrücken-Bitsch. In contrast, the Willstätt office , which also came from the Lichtenberg legacy and was a condominium between the two houses, was transferred entirely to the County of Hanau-Lichtenberg.
Modern times
However, there was another succession in 1570, which also brought the Brumath office and thus the village of Kurzenhausen to the County of Hanau-Lichtenberg: Count Jakob von Zweibrücken-Bitsch (* 1510; † 1570) and his brother Simon V. Wecker , who had died in 1540, left behind only one daughter each as heiress. Count Jakob's daughter, Margarethe (* 1540; † 1569), was married to Philipp V von Hanau-Lichtenberg (* 1541; † 1599). The legacy resulting from this constellation also included the second half of the former rule of Lichtenberg, which was not already ruled by Hanau-Lichtenberg, and included the office of Brumath with Kurzenhausen. In 1570, the ruling Count of Hanau-Lichtenberg carried out the Reformation in Kurzenhausen as well , in the Lutheran version.
As a result of France's reunification policy , the Brumath office and the village of Kurzenhausen also fell under French sovereignty in 1680.
1736 died with Count Johann Reinhard III. the last male representative of the Hanau family. Due to the marriage of his only daughter, Charlotte (* 1700; † 1726), with the Hereditary Prince Ludwig (VIII.) (* 1691; † 1768) of Hesse-Darmstadt , he inherited the county of Hanau-Lichtenberg. In the course of the French Revolution , the part of the County of Hanau-Lichtenberg on the left bank of the Rhine - and with it Kurzenhausen - fell to France.
Until January 10, 1955 the village was called "Kurtzenhausen".

Attractions
- The town's church dates back to 1784, when the nave was built. The village remained purely Lutheran until 1785 even after the "Reunion" . Then the required number of seven Roman Catholic families was reached, so that the Church should have become a Simultaneum . The Roman Catholic mass only took place four times a year, and that was in the open air. In 1804 an altar was set up in the cemetery next to the church. It wasn't until 1843 that the church became a regular Simultaneum, which still exists today.
