Niedernhausen (formerly Waldhausen) was in the judicial district of the district of Oberramstadt . The centering was divided into so-called "rice car," each of which a top magistrate board that the Zentgrafen were subordinated. This district had to provide a freight wagon ( rice wagon ) including draft animals and servants for campaigns. Niedernhausen belonged to the "Großbieberauer Reiswagen", to which Waldhausen consists of the places Niedernhausen, Billings , Meßbach and Nonrod as well as the villages Rodau , Wersau and Steinau belonged. The entire district of Oberramstadt was assigned to the Lichtenberg office . This classification existed until the beginning of the 19th century.

»Niedernhausen (L. Bez. Reinheim) luth, Filialdorf; is at the foot of the Lichtenberger Berg on the Fischbach and 1 1 ⁄ 4 St. from Reinheim. There are 54 houses, 421 inhabitants, which apart from 1 Reform. are Lutheran, and 1 grinding and cutting mill. - In 1398 Eberhard, Count von Katzenellenbogen was enfeoffed with this village by the Count Palatine Ruprecht. The Reinheim calves had a Hubengericht here, which was a Spanish fiefdom. "

The following list gives an overview of the territories in which Niedernhausen was located and the administrative units to which it was subordinate:

In 1436 a St. Jost chapel was built on the south-eastern outskirts (in the forest), in 1818 the remains were demolished. In 1890 today's Protestant parish church was built in neo-Gothic style , the "John the Baptist" church. The old school house was built in 1841. Today it is the seat of the local government.
