Middle Ages and Early Modern Times

The oldest surviving mention of the village comes from 1282. In the following period, the Lords of Eppstein awarded Messenhausen to various noble families. After their extinction, the property came to Kurmainz . The Lords of Frankenstein held the Messenhäuser Höfe from Kurmainz as a fiefdom for centuries. In Messenhausen, the Mainz land law was a particular law . The common law also applied, as far as the Mainz land law did not contain special regulations for a matter. This special rights retained its validity and throughout the 19th century during the affiliation of the territory of the Grand Duchy of Hesse and was until 1 January 1900 by the same across the whole German Reich current Civil Code replaced.

Early modern age

In 1806, with the establishment of the Rhine Confederation and due to the Rhine Confederation Act , state sovereignty over all knightly property in the area of ​​the Grand Duchy of Hesse fell to the Grand Duchy, including the property of the Lords of Frankenstein and the messehouses courtyards . However, the rights of the Herren von Frankenstein as owner of the patrimonial court were retained.

In 1821 there was an administrative reform in the Grand Duchy. With it, jurisdiction and administration were also separated at the lowest level . District administrative districts were created for their previous administrative tasks and district courts were created for the first instance jurisdiction. The district district responsible for Messenhausen was the district of Langen , but the Lords of Frankenstein continued to exercise jurisdiction. The agreement between the state and patrimonial rule in this regard still dragged on. It was not until 1822 that the first instance jurisdiction was transferred to the Langen Regional Court .

In 1821, Messenhausen became part of the Ober-Roden mayor , but it kept its own municipal budget until 1957. On March 1, 1958, the place Ober-Roden joined.
