history

The settlement was 329 m above sea level on both sides of the north , a north-western tributary of the Gilsa . It was owned by the Archbishopric of Mainz in the Mainz office of Jesberg and was first mentioned in a document in 1248 when the knight Ludwig von Linsingen was pledged from Mainz income from "Rumershusen". Very little is known about the history of the place before or after, but since the archbishopric acquired the tithe in "Romershusen" in 1257 in exchange with the monastery Haina , which is also mentioned as owner of goods in the place in 1288 , the place existed probably a long time before it was first mentioned in a document.

When the Mainz monastery administrator Kuno von Falkenstein (with the consent of Archbishop Gerlach ) in 1349 allowed Johann von Falkenberg called Gruszing (or Grüßing), from the Densberg branch of the von Falkenberg family , to build a new castle in Densberg and to use it Erbburgmann on the castle Densberg appointed, was featured in this Erbburglehens next to the village Densberg also the village Rommershausen.

It was not until more than a hundred years later, in 1458, that the place was mentioned again, but only as a desert: Hans von Urff , to whose family Densberg Castle and all accessories were pawned, carried it and with it the Rommershausen desert to the Hessian Landgrave Ludwig I. to fief.

Not far from the disappeared village, the Rommershäuser Hütte was built in the 16th century , and the settlement around the ironworks was merged in 1843 together with the "Heidenhaeuser" located about one kilometer to the northwest to form the new community of Schönstein.
