history

The settlement was in the original Wichdorf district and existed before the city of Niedenstein was founded. A branch of the von Wichdorf family named themselves after the village and one of them appears in 1266 as a witness in a document issued in Niedenstein. The place was subsequently probably Accessories one landgräflich-Hessian castle seat on the castle Niedenstein : 1277 the brothers Hugo, Heinrich and Johann contributed Hess of weighting village their castle headquarters Niedenstein along with all accessories, including a part of Schwosbach, the Landgrave Henry I to and received it back as a fief . The share in the castle held by Konrad II von Elben had probably already become a Hessian fief.

In addition, however, Kurmainz had at least part of the tithe in the village and enfeoffed his own vassals with it. At first these were the Wackermaul from Wichdorf, cousins ​​of Hess. When this sex died out in the male line with the death of Widekind Wackermaul in 1346, Archbishop Heinrich III. this tithe and the lower jurisdiction in Schwosbach to the Lords of Dalwigk . This loan was renewed again and again until 1801.

Part of the village of Schwosbach changed hands in 1373 from the Hess von Wichdorf family. Initially, Otto Heß von Wichdorf sold his stake in Niedenstein Castle and the lands belonging to his castle in Wichdorf, Hausen , Emserberg and on Sengelsberg when he stabbed his Niedensteiner Vogt Jost von Urff in a dispute in 1367 and therefore fled the country ( evidently Schwosbach) to Curth Hess von Wichdorf, who sold these goods to his uncle Simon von Homberg the Elder as early as 1373 . Ä. wiederkäuflich sold. In 1384 this pledge was transferred to Simon's son Albrecht von Homberg. In 1427 Albrecht's son Simon von Homberg the Elder died. J. as the last of his line and Landgrave Ludwig I gave the Homberg share in the Niedenstein Castle and thus also in the Schwosbach location, which was designated as deserted by 1421 at the latest, as a fief to Reinhard von Dalwigk . Only six years later, in December 1434, Landgrave Dalwigk gave Niedensteiner Burg- und Mannlehen, which he had abandoned, along with all associated goods to Hermann Hund . The dogs were enfeoffed with it until their sex died out in 1655; then the fiefdom passed to their heirs, the lords of Buttlar .
