history

middle Ages

The oldest surviving mention of Wallroth comes from the year 1167 as " Wesilhilderode ". According to a note in the Schlüchtern repertory, Wesselrode is a desolate predecessor settlement, in the place of which Wallroth was built. The village belonged to the Schlüchtern monastery and thus in the late Middle Ages to the sphere of influence of the Hanau rule (from 1429: Hanau county ). The Schlüchtern monastery finally came under their patronage in 1457 (from 1458: County Hanau-Münzenberg ). There Wallroth was assigned to the office of Schlüchtern .

In 1481 the church of Wallroth was first mentioned, which was under the patronage of Saint Anthony . It belonged to the parish of Hintersteinau

Early modern age

The County of Hanau-Münzenberg initially joined the Lutheran denomination during the Reformation , and was reformed from 1597 . In 1719 the parish of Wallroth was given an independent parish, which is part of the Schlüchtern dean's office and has branches in Breitenbach and Kressenbach .

With the death of the last Hanau count, Johann Reinhard III. , Wallroth fell in 1736 with the entire county of Hanau-Münzenberg to the Landgraviate of Hessen-Kassel , which in 1803 became the Electorate of Hesse .

Modern times

During the Napoleonic period, Wallroth was under French military administration from 1806, belonged to the Principality of Hanau from 1807 to 1810 and then from 1810 to 1813 to the Grand Duchy of Frankfurt , Department of Hanau . Then it fell back to the Electorate of Hesse. After the administrative reform of the Electorate of Hesse in 1821, during which the Electorate of Hesse was divided into four provinces and 22 districts, Wallroth belonged to the district of Schlüchtern . In 1866 the electorate was annexed by Prussia after the Austro-Prussian War and became part of the federal state of Hesse after the Second World War . Wallroth accordingly changed the administrations to which it belonged. The formerly independent municipality Wall Roth was the municipal reform in Hesse on 31 December 1971 in the city Schlüchtern incorporated . With the Hessian regional reform , the district of Schlüchtern was dissolved in 1974 and Wallroth has been in the Main-Kinzig district since then .
