history
Odenhausen was first mentioned in writing in 1255.
In 1906 the foundations of the residential tower of a former castle complex were exposed north of the church and then backfilled. The square tower had a side length of about 9 m, the walls were about 1.6 m thick. Further foundations were found later, but today there are no visible remains of the wall.
The builders of the residential tower built in the 11th or 12th century are unknown. The earliest owners of the complex were the Counts of Gleiberg . Later it came into the possession of the Merenberg family . In the middle of the 13th century, Wittekind von Merenberg's mother lived in the facility. After her death in 1255, Wittekind's brother Konrad was given the fortified farm by pledging. Konrad's son Hartrad donated half of the complex to the local parish in 1271. But since Konrad von Merenberg had bequeathed his goods to the branch of the Teutonic Order in Marburg at the time of the pledge around 1255 , there were inheritance disputes. In 1271 one sixth of the complex remained in the possession of the Grafschaft Isenburg , two sixths belonged to the Teutonic Order and the rest of the church. It is not known when the residential tower was abandoned and destroyed.
The community of Odenhausen, which belonged to the district of Wetzlar , was integrated on December 31, 1971 in the course of the regional reform in Hesse on a voluntary basis into the then community - since 1974 city - Lollar.
