history

middle Ages

The village belonged to the office of Schlüchtern , a fiefdom of the bishop of Würzburg . Initially owned by von Grumbach , the village was inherited by the von Trimberg lords in 1243 . In 1377 the Lords of Hanau (from 1429: County Hanau ) received it in exchange for Bütthard Castle . When Hanau was divided in 1456, Niederzell became part of the County of Hanau-Münzenberg .

Early modern age

After the Reformation, the property as a Würzburg fief led to tensions between the now Lutheran County of Hanau-Munzenberg , which was reformed from 1597 , and the Roman Catholic diocese of Würzburg. A long-term process before the Reich Chamber of Commerce lasted from 1571 to 1624 and ended with a restitution mandate from the Schlüchtern office in favor of Würzburg. 1628–1631 it was therefore occupied by Würzburg, in the course of the Thirty Years War from 1631 to 1637 again by Hanau and from 1637 again by Würzburg. In 1656 there was a comparison between Hanau and Würzburg, with Hanau receiving the office of Schlüchtern - and thus also Niederzell - and leaving Orb to the diocese for it .

With the death of the last Hanau count, Johann Reinhard III. , Niederzell fell in 1736 with the entire county of Hanau-Münzenberg to the Landgraviate of Hesse-Kassel , which in 1803 became the Electorate of Hesse .

Modern times

During the Napoleonic period, Niederzell was under French military administration from 1806, belonged to the Principality of Hanau from 1807 to 1810 and then from 1810 to 1813 to the Grand Duchy of Frankfurt , Hanau Department . Then it fell back to the Electorate of Hesse. After the administrative reform of the Electorate of Hesse in 1821, under which the Electorate of Hesse was divided into four provinces and 22 districts, Niederzell belonged to the district of Schlüchtern . In 1866 the electorate was annexed by Prussia after the Austro-Prussian War and became part of the federal state of Hesse after the Second World War . Niederzell accordingly changed the administrations to which it belonged.

As part of the regional reform in Hesse , Niederzell was incorporated into Schlüchtern on July 1, 1974 by state law . With the Hessian regional reform , the district of Schlüchtern was dissolved in 1974 and Niederzell has been in the Main-Kinzig district since then .
