The independent Evangelical Lutheran Church in Hesse was a Lutheran church of old denominations founded in 1877 by some pastors and parishes in the then Grand Duchy of Hesse (Darmstadt) . The members of this Free Church rejected the introduction of the then intended administrative union in the constitution of the Uniate Hessian regional church . Later some congregations in Kurhessen also joined the new church.

The best-known members of the SelK were the members of the count houses Erbach-Fürstenau and Erbach-Erbach . At that time, Count Alfred zu Erbach-Fürstenau resigned from the Union together with his pastor, Pastor Christian Müller.

The Independent Evangelical Lutheran Church in Hesse merged with other Lutheran churches in 1945 to form the (Old) Independent Evangelical Lutheran Church in Germany , which in turn became part of today's Independent Evangelical Lutheran Church (SELK) based in Hanover in 1972 .
