history

The oldest surviving mention of Müttersholz comes from 817, when it was mentioned in a document from Emperor Ludwig the Pious .

It had belonged to the Lichtenberg rule since the end of the 13th century . The Lords of Lichtenberg probably bought the village from those of Ötingen . In the lordship of Lichtenberg it was only formally assigned to the Wolfisheim office because it was passed on as a fief to the von Rathsamhausen family . In the period that followed, the Wolfisheim office - and with it also feudal lordship over Müttersholz - came to the County of Hanau-Lichtenberg in 1480 and to the Landgraviate of Hesse-Darmstadt in 1736 . Even at this time it is still mentioned as part of the Wolfisheim office.

With the reunion policy of France under King Louis XIV. Müttersholz also came under French sovereignty, with the upheaval started by the French Revolution it became French. At that time Müttersholz had about 500 inhabitants.
