In the Thirty Years War , only one farmer survived the atrocities of war.

Steinau was in the judicial district of the district of Oberramstadt . The centering was divided into so-called "rice car," each of which a top magistrate board that the Zentgrafen were subordinated. This district had to provide a freight wagon ( rice wagon ) including draft animals and servants for campaigns. Steinau belonged to the "Großbieberauer Reiswagen", to which Waldhausen consists of the places Niedernhausen , Billings , Meßbach and Nonrod as well as the villages Rodau , Wersau and Steinau. The entire district of Oberramstadt was assigned to the Lichtenberg office . This classification existed until the beginning of the 19th century.

From 1821 to 1909 the village belonged to the mayor's office of Neunkirchen and was then again an independent municipality. Ecclesiastically, the place has belonged to the parish of Neunkirchen since 1877 . A flour mill and an oil mill were in operation until the Second World War . The school was built in 1901.

»Steinau (L. Bez. Reinheim) Lutheran Filialdorf; is 2 1 ⁄ 4  St. from Reinheim in a high valley at the foot of the Neunkircher Höhe, and has 20 houses and 143 souls that are except 1 Catholic Lutheran. There are 2 grinding mills with which 1 oil mill is connected. - Steinau was pledged in 1347 by Erkinger von Rodenstein to Wilhelm II, Count von Katzenellenbogen. This pledge was never redeemed. "
