Modern times

The Reformation was gradually introduced in the county of Hanau-Münzenberg in the middle of the 16th century . In Oberdorfelden, this initially happened in the Lutheran sense. In a "second Reformation", the denomination of the County of Hanau-Munzenberg was changed again: From 1597 Count Philipp Ludwig II pursued a decidedly reformed church policy. He made use of Jus reformandi , his right as sovereign to determine the denomination of his subjects, and made this largely binding for the County of Hanau-Munzenberg.

After the death of the last Hanau count, Johann Reinhard III. , In 1736, Landgrave Friedrich I of Hessen-Kassel inherited the County of Hanau-Münzenberg and with it the office of Büchertal and Oberdorfelden on the basis of an inheritance contract from 1643. In 1803 the Landgraviate of Hesse-Kassel was elevated to the status of the Electorate of Hesse . During the Napoleonic period, the office of Büchertal 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, under which the Electorate of Hesse was divided into four provinces and 22 districts, the office of Büchertal was added to the newly formed district of Hanau . With the annexation of Kurhessen by the Kingdom of Prussia after the lost war of 1866 , Oberdorfelden also became Prussian.

In the course of the regional reform in Hesse , the municipality of Schöneck (Hanau district) was created on December 31, 1970 through the voluntary merger of the previously independent municipalities of Büdesheim, Kilianstädten and Oberdorfelden. The district of Hanau, in turn, became part of the Main-Kinzig district in 1974. For Oberdorfelden, as for all the formerly independent communities of Schöneck, a local district with a local advisory board and mayor was formed according to the Hessian municipal code.
