history

middle Ages

The oldest surviving documentary mention of the place comes from 1144. The Schlüchtern monastery awarded an estate in the village at that time . Seidenroth belonged to the office of Steinau of the rule and later County of Hanau , from 1458: County of Hanau-Münzenberg .

The remains of the castle built in the 14th century on the western edge of Seidenroth are no longer visible today. In 1443 a castle wall is mentioned. A Landwehr passed the village and ran from the Bellinger Warte to the Seidenröther Warte and beyond.

Modern times

The County of Hanau-Münzenberg initially joined the Lutheran denomination during the Reformation , and was reformed from 1597 . After the death of the last Hanau count, Johann Reinhard III. , the Landgraviate of Hessen-Kassel inherited the County of Hanau-Munzenberg. In 1803 the Landgraviate became the Electorate of Hesse . During the Napoleonic period, the Steinau office - and with it Seidenroth - was under French military administration from 1806, belonged to the Principality of Hanau from 1807 to 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, during which the Electorate of Hesse was divided into four provinces and 22 districts, Seidenroth belonged to the district of Schlüchtern . In 1866 the electorate was annexed by Prussia after the Austro-Prussian War and after the Second World War the village became part of the newly formed state of Hesse. In the run-up to the Hessian territorial reform on December 1, 1969 , the previously independent municipality became a district of the city of Steinau, today "Steinau an der Straße". For Seidenroth one was local district with the town council and mayor set up.
