history

The village was first mentioned in a document in 1384. Meßbach (formerly Waldhausen) was in the judicial district of the district of Oberramstadt . The centering was divided into so-called "rice car," each of which a top magistrate board that the Zentgrafen were subordinated. This district had to provide a freight wagon ( rice wagon ) including draft animals and servants for campaigns. Meßbach belonged to the "Großbieberauer Reiswagen", to which Waldhausen consists of the places Niedernhausen , Billings , Meßbach and Nonrod as well as the villages Rodau , Wersau and Steinau . The entire district of Oberramstadt was assigned to the Lichtenberg office . This classification existed until the beginning of the 19th century. In 1806 the places Billings , Meßbach and Nonrod are mentioned as villages of the community Waldhausen.

The statistical-topographical-historical description of the Grand Duchy of Hesse reports on Messbach in 1829:

»Messbach (L. Bez. Reinheim) luth Filialdorf; is 2 St von Reinheim, and has 11 houses and 78 inhabitants, who are Lutheran except for 6 Catholics. A rock cave on a high mountain near this village is not unintressing. In 1648 the place was completely uninhabited. "

The old school was built in 1905 and is now privately owned.

Until the voluntary merger with the communities of Steinau , Lichtenberg , Nonrod , Billings and Niedernhausen to form the Fischbachtal community on December 31, 1971, as part of the regional reform in Hesse, Meßbach was an independent community. For each of the earlier municipalities, a local district with a local advisory board and local councilor was set up in accordance with the Hessian municipal code. The municipal administration got its seat in the district of Niedernhausen.
