history

middle Ages

The oldest surviving written mention of Neuengronau, as Nuwengruouwe , dates back to 1295. Neuengronau belonged to the Altengronau court , which came to the Hanau rulership in 1333 as an imperial fief from an inheritance from the Rieneck family. The Schwarzenfels Office of the County of Hanau emerged from the court in the 15th century ; from 1459: County of Hanau-Münzenberg . In 1453 the seat of the court was moved to Schwarzenfels . In 1339 the chefs took over the village, in 1347 von Hutten . The Fulda monastery also had rights in Neuengronau, but pledged these to those of Thüngen in 1351 .

Historical forms of names

In documents that have been preserved, Neuengronau was mentioned under the following names (the year of mention in brackets):

Nuwengruouwe (1295)
Nova Gruna (1323)
Neuengrunauwe (1396)

Modern times

In 1643 the Schwarzenfels office - and thus Neuengronau - was handed over to the Landgraviate of Hessen-Kassel as a pledge for the repayment of debts, along with other securities , and was intended to guarantee Hanau's debts in connection with the liberation of the city of Hanau from the siege by imperial troops 1636 across from Hessen-Kassel. The Counts of Hanau were no longer able to redeem this pledge from Hessen-Kassel. In the following period the office was administered like landgrave property, even after Hessen-Kassel in 1736, after the death of the last Hanau count, Johann Reinhard III. , inherited the entire county of Hanau-Munzenberg.

In 1803 the Landgraviate became the Electorate of Hesse . After the administrative reform of the Electorate of Hesse in 1821, by which the Electorate of Hesse was divided into four provinces and 22 districts, the place came to the district of Schlüchtern .

Neuengronau was an independent municipality until November 30, 1969. At that time it became a district of Altengronau on a voluntary basis as part of the regional reform in Hesse . On July 1, 1974, the Altengronau community was incorporated into the previously newly formed Sinntal community by virtue of state law and became part of the Main-Kinzig district through the dissolution of the Schlüchtern district . For Altengronau and Neuengronau, as for the other districts, a local district with a local advisory board and local councilor was formed.

Watermill

The water mill Spielmühle existed in the local area . It was shut down between 1920 and 1930. It was fed by a company ditch that branched off from the Lederhosebach .

The parish of Neuengronau - the oldest surviving mention dates from 1396 - has an eventful history. In the middle of the 15th century it was a daughter parish of Ramholz . The County of Hanau-Münzenberg initially joined the Lutheran denomination during the Reformation , and was reformed from 1597 . Altengronau, which was only independent between 1602 and the end of the Thirty Years' War , also belonged to the parish of Neuengronau . Jossa was also parish . At times Zeitlofs and Weißenbach also belonged to it. In the 17th century, both the church and the rectory fell into disrepair . Today's parish looks after both Altengronau and Neuengronau.
