history

The place owes its existence to the river, because there was a ford here . The oldest mention of the place dates back to the year 852 with the place name Wegefurte . The place has been called Unter-Wegfurth since 1531 .

Unter-Wegfurth belonged to the Schlitz rule . Here, the Schlitzer ordinances from the 18th century, together with parts of the Fulda law, were considered particular law . The Common Law applied only to the extent these special regulations did not contain provisions for a fact. This special right retained its validity during the affiliation to the Grand Duchy of Hesse in the 19th century. In judicial practice, however, the ordinances were only rarely applied. The particular law was replaced on January 1, 1900 by the civil code that was uniformly valid throughout the German Empire .

On December 31, 1971, Unter-Wegfurth was incorporated into the town of Schlitz as part of the regional reform in Hesse .
