history
The oldest surviving mention of Steinfurth comes from 914 and can be found in a deed of gift from King Konrad I to the church in Weilburg . Since the Middle Ages, Steinfurth was largely owned by the Löw von Steinfurth family , who named themselves after the place. The Löwschen Castle, a family mansion from the early 19th century, has been preserved in the town center.
In 1806 Steinfurth fell to the Grand Duchy of Hesse through the Rhine Confederation Act and was located here in the Principality of Upper Hesse (from 1816: Province of Upper Hesse ). The lower jurisdiction remained with the landlords and was exercised by their " Patrimonial Steinfurt". This restriction of state sovereignty naturally disturbed the Grand Duchy.
During the administrative reform between 1820 and 1822, the Grand Duchy succeeded in further integrating Steinfurth into the state structures. With this administrative reform, jurisdiction and administration were also separated at the lower level . For the previously perceived in the offices of management tasks District districts created for the first-instance jurisdiction district courts . In 1822, Steinfurth was effectively incorporated into the Butzbach district, as the Löw von Steinfurth refrained from exercising police rights themselves. The jurisprudence was now carried out by the "Grand Ducal Hessian Regional Court of the Barons of Löw" in Friedberg. It was only as a result of the March Revolution of 1848 that the special civil rights were finally abolished with the “Law on the Relationships of Classes and Noble Court Lords” of April 15, 1848.
As part of the regional reform in Hesse , the municipality of Steinfurth was incorporated into the city of Bad Nauheim on August 1, 1972 by virtue of state law . A local district with a local advisory board and mayor was set up for Steinfurth . The number of inhabitants has more than doubled to around 3000 since the Second World War.
