history

There is some confusion about the year of the first document about Marienhausen, which names February 2, 1302 as the date. The year is calculated according to the so-called "Trier style", i. H. a new year did not begin until the Annunciation on March 25th. So the first documentary mention according to our era begins in 1303. In the document, a Heinrich , son of an Egman from Marienhausen (Egmans de Mergerinhusin), renounced goods belonging to the Rommersdorf Abbey . Salentin III became the landlord. von Isenburg (1303-1344). On March 5, 1311 Salentin carried the Archbishop of Trier Baldwin of Luxembourg (1307-1354) fief to Marienhausen. Kurtrier thereby acquired rights in this place, in which it was not yet wealthy. In 1346 Salentin IV von Isenburg (1319-1364) was forced to pawn Marienhausen due to a dispute with Archbishop Balduin. After Archbishop Baldwin's defeat in the Grenzau feud (1347), Salentin IV succeeded in repurchasing the property. A court for Marienhausen is mentioned for the first time in the garnishment deed of 1346; it was not until 1719 that the powers of the Marienhausen court were restricted.

After the death of the childless Count Ernst von Isenburg-Grenzau in 1664, this Isenburg line became extinct . Marienhausen was incorporated into the Electoral State of Trier with the rule of Herschbach, where the place remained until the secularization in 1803. Marienhausen belonged to the Herschbach office, the village community itself is mentioned in the Marienhausen court case in 1536 under the term “neighbors”, which always acted collectively without leaders emerging. At the latest in the 18th century the office of mayor was added, first attested in 1739. Economically, Marienhausen was characterized by agriculture, there was also a mill in town. In the course of the coalition wars, the French troops with 14,000 men reached Marienhausen on September 17, 1795, since then the front Westerwald was occupied. The Rhine had been the French state border since 1797, and the Electorate of Trier now only consisted of a small remainder on the right bank of the Rhine. Due to the Reichsdeputation Hauptschluss , the office of Herschbach and thus also Marienhausen came to the Principality of Nassau-Weilburg in 1803 and to the Duchy of Nassau due to the Rhine Confederation Act in 1806 .

Even after the reorganization of the territories by the Congress of Vienna (1815), Marienhausen remained with the Duchy of Nassau, the border with Prussia ran west of the place. Marienhausen now belonged to the office of Selters, in which the office of Herschbach was absorbed. The administration of the community was now incumbent on a mayor appointed by the state government . In 1848 a new municipal code was introduced in Nassau which provided for an elected mayor. In 1866 the Duchy of Nassau was incorporated into the Prussian state, Marienhausen now belonged to the newly formed Unterwesterwaldkreis with its seat in Montabaur within the administrative district of Wiesbaden .

Since 1970 Marienhausen has belonged to the Dierdorf Association and thus to the Neuwied district.

The Catholic Church of the Birth of Mary was built from 1922 to 1924 and renovated in 1997. The school was completed in 1929, the school was closed in 1972 and after renovation and expansion in 2002 it houses the village community center, the community office and the volunteer fire department.
