history

The small hamlet has been documented since 1535. In 1543 four people are named for the hamlet. That remained almost constant until around 1800. In 1787 the hamlet belonged to the Bieberstein office of the prince abbey of Fulda . To this day, Steens has its own trademark . With the Napoleonic Wars from 1803 to 1806 the short-lived Principality of Nassau-Oranien-Fulda came about, was subordinate to the military administration in the Principality of Fulda from 1806 to 1810, came to the Grand Duchy of Frankfurt , Department of Fulda in the District of Bieberstein, from 1810 to 1813 , and became a municipality in 1812 assigned and incorporated by parents. In 1816 it became the Electorate of Hesse . In 1822 the district court of Fulda is responsible.

On July 1, 1850, the hamlet of Elters was spun off again and again independent. In 1867 the place was classified as Prussian and as part of the province of Hessen-Nassau in the administrative district of Kassel in the district of Fulda. In 1885 it was inhabited by 43 people, in 1961 only 32 people were deported. In 1900 Elters and Steens, although still legally independent, were united in a common mayor's district . Elters had to contribute 120 Reichsmarks and Steens 18 Reichsmarks for the annual salary of the joint mayor .

In the course of the beginning of the Hessian regional reform in 1968, the place was again incorporated into Elters as a district and came with this in 1971 in the newly formed large community of Hofbieber, without being considered a district.

The hamlet is located in equal parts southwest and northeast of the county road, divided into four courtyard groups.

The hamlet also includes the Lothar-Mai-Haus about 300 meters south-southeast, 40 meters higher than Steens, located on the edge of the forest and accessible via the street of the same name in Steens. Today it is a mountain hotel. Erected at the beginning of the 1950s as Lothar-Mai-Hütte for the namesake, the then head of the Federal Railway Repair Works in Fulda , it was acquired and expanded in 1991 by the Rabenseifner brothers. In 1999 a hotel complex was added.

Several high-altitude and circular hiking trails through the nature park can be hiked from Steens via a forest parking lot in the direction of Elters. The premium hiking trail of the Hochrhöner leads past the hamlet to the west.
