history
middle Ages
Mittelhausen was a fiefdom of the Bishops of Metz and was assigned to their office in Brumath by the Lords of Lichtenberg . Around 1330 there was a first, in 1335 a second division of the country between the three lines of the House of Lichtenberg . Mittelhausen fell half to Johann II von Lichtenberg , from the older line of the house, and half to the descendants of Johann III, who died early . von Lichtenberg , who established the middle line of the house. In 1378 they sold half of the village to Ulrich von Finstingen. The half sold was obviously bought back at a later date, because the place is later entirely owned by the Lords of Lichtenberg.
Anna von Lichtenberg (* 1442; † 1474), one of Ludwig V's two heirs, married Count Philip I the Elder of Hanau-Babenhausen (* 1417; † 1480) in 1458, who had a small secondary school from the County of Hanau had received in order to be able to marry her. The county of Hanau-Lichtenberg came into being through the marriage . After the death of the last Lichtenberger, Count Jakob, one of Anna's uncle, Philip I d. Ä. In 1480 half of the Lichtenberg rule, the other half went to his brother-in-law, Simon IV. Wecker von Zweibrücken-Bitsch . The Brumath office was initially a condominium between Hanau-Lichtenberg and Zweibrücken-Bitsch. Under the government of Count Philip III. From Hanau-Lichtenberg there was then a real division: The Brumath office came entirely to Zweibrücken-Bitsch. In contrast, the Willstätt office , which also came from the Lichtenberg legacy and was a condominium between the two houses, was transferred entirely to the County of Hanau-Lichtenberg.
Modern times
However, there was another inheritance in 1570, which also brought the office of Brumath and thus the village of Mittelhausen to the County of Hanau-Lichtenberg: Count Jakob von Zweibrücken-Bitsch (* 1510; † 1570) and his brother Simon V. Wecker , who had died in 1540, left behind only one daughter each as heiress. Count Jakob's daughter, Margarethe (* 1540; † 1569), was married to Philipp V von Hanau-Lichtenberg (* 1541; † 1599). The legacy resulting from this constellation also included the second half of the former rule of Lichtenberg, which was not already ruled by Hanau-Lichtenberg, and included the office of Brumath with Mittelhausen. In 1570, the ruling Count of Hanau-Lichtenberg also carried out the Reformation in Mittelhausen , in the Lutheran version.
Due to France's reunification policy , the Brumath office and the village of Mittelhausen also fell under French sovereignty in 1680.
1736 died with Count Johann Reinhard III. the last male representative of the Hanau family. Due to the marriage of his only daughter, Charlotte (* 1700; † 1726), with the Hereditary Prince Ludwig (VIII.) (* 1691; † 1768) of Hesse-Darmstadt , he inherited the county of Hanau-Lichtenberg. In the course of the French Revolution , the left bank of the Hanau-Lichtenberg county - and thus Mittelhausen - fell to France.
On January 1, 2016, the community of Mittelhausen formed the Commune nouvelle Wingersheim les Quatre Bans with Gingsheim , Hohatzenheim and Wingersheim . She was a member of the Communauté de communes du Pays de la Zorn .
