middle Ages

The oldest surviving documentary mention of the village comes from February 3, 1333 as a middle synonym . "Siemina" was already called around the year 1000. Which of the three Seemen locations is meant remains open.

In the Middle Ages and early modern times, the village belonged to the Ortenberg Office , a condominium that was formed by three rulers from among the members of the Wetterau Counts' Association .

Early modern age

Mittel-Seemen was one of the areas in which the Solms land law of 1571 was accepted under customary law , but only in part . This applied in particular to the areas of guardianship law , inheritance and matrimonial property law . Moreover, the applied Common Law . It was not until January 1, 1900, when the Civil Code , which was uniformly valid throughout the German Reich , that the old particular law was suspended .

In 1601 there was a real division of the condominium, with the village of Mittel-Seemen of the County of Stolberg-Roßla and its "Amt Ortenberg" being added.

In 1724 the parish was founded. During the renovation of the church in 1960, old frescoes were uncovered. A school was built opposite the church in 1787 . In 1970 the single-class elementary school was closed.
