history

The oldest surviving mention of the village comes from the year 1331. As early as 1396 it is described as desolate. The village belonged to the Schlüchtern monastery . The village was owned by the Hohelin family, who in 1396 left the usufruct of the desert to the pastor of Brückenau . There is evidence that from 1496 to 1567 the desert was a fief of the Schlüchtern monastery to the Hohelin family. They sold the fiefdom in 1567 to Count Philipp Ludwig I. von Hanau-Münzenberg . In the county of Hanau-Münzenberg, the district of the desert was assigned to the Schlüchtern office.

With the death of the last Hanau count, Johann Reinhard III. , the area of ​​the deserted Neuendorf fell in 1736 with the entire county of Hanau-Munzenberg to the Landgraviate of Hessen-Kassel , which in 1803 became the Electorate of Hesse .

During the Napoleonic period, the Neuendorf desert area was under French military administration from 1806, belonged to the Principality of Hanau from 1807–1810 and then from 1810 to 1813 to the Grand Duchy of Frankfurt , Department of Hanau . Then it fell back to the Electorate of Hesse. After the administrative reform of the Electorate of Hesse in 1821, during which the Electorate of Hesse was divided into four provinces and 22 districts, the Neuendorf desert area belonged to the Schlüchtern district . In 1866 the electorate was annexed by Prussia after the Austro-Prussian War and after the Second World War it became part of the federal state of Hesse , where the Neuendorf desert area is now part of the town of Steinau an der Strasse.
