history

The place was first mentioned in 1197 as "Cappel" and has been known by its current name since 1585 at the latest, albeit with a different spelling (Spiscappell, Spißcappel, Spiescappel, Spieskappel).

Of the Spieskappel monastery , which existed from 1143 to 1497, only the basilica remains, which is now used as a Protestant church .

On January 1, 1974, in the course of the regional reform in Hesse, the two large municipalities of Frielendorf and Grenzebach (which had formed on January 31, 1971 from the municipalities of Leimsfeld, Ober Grenzebach and Schönborn) with the previously independent municipalities of Allendorf, Großropperhausen, Leuderode, were joined by state law , Spieskappel and Verna to turn new major community Frielendorf together . The seat of the municipal administration became Frielendorf. Local districts were created for all formerly independent communities .
