history

Territorial Affiliation

The oldest surviving mention of the place comes from the year 1339. He belonged to the office of Bieber . In 1333 Ulrich II succeeded in obtaining half of the office from Kurmainz as a fief . The Bieber office - and with it Lanzingen - became a condominium , initially between the Counts of Rieneck and the Lords of Hanau , then, when Count Philipp III. von Rieneck, the last male member of his family, died on September 3, 1559, between Kurmainz and the County of Hanau-Munzenberg , with the Hanau half being a fief of Kurmainz. The village belonged to the parish of Bieber and was parish after Bieber during the Reformation . The residents became Lutheran . In 1684 the Mainz half - also as a fiefdom of Mainz - fell completely to the County of Hanau in exchange for the Hanau half of the Partenstein office , which was also shared with Mainz .

1736 died with Count Johann Reinhard III. the last Count of Hanau and the county of Hanau-Munzenberg fell to the Landgraviate of Hesse-Kassel . In 1821 there was a fundamental administrative reform in the former Landgraviate, now known as the “ Electorate of Hesse ”. The office of Bieber was added to the newly formed district of Gelnhausen . On October 1, 1971, Lanzingen became part of the municipality of Bieber as part of the regional reform in Hesse , which in turn merged with Biebergemünd on July 1, 1974. On the same day, the district of Gelnhausen became part of the Main-Kinzig district .

The area of ​​the former municipality of Lanzingen was 2.29 km².
