history

Reinstädt was first mentioned in a document from 1083 to February 16, 1084 in the Mainz deed I 365.

Very little is known about the castle, which once belonged to the bower . It existed as a noble residence as early as the 10th century. In 1083 nobles were named after the place. They testified several documents in legal transactions. The construction of the bower did not begin until 1408. The church construction was finished in 1447. After that, the owners of the property often changed up to the fiefdom of the Ernestines . The medieval residential tower was unused for a long time , then it became a granary and material store for agriculture and forestry. Today the premises serve culture and the community.

The bower, the former fortified church and the cemetery with the graves as well as the houses of the village still form a historical ensemble and thus shape the landscape.
