The archaeological find of the Diadem von Windhausen suggests that it was settled in the Bronze Age . The oldest known written mention of Windhausen was in 1302 under the name Winthusen .

The statistical-topographical-historical description of the Grand Duchy of Hesse reports on Windhausen in 1830:

On December 31, 1971, in the course of the regional reform in Hesse, the previously independent municipalities of Ermenrod, Groß-Felda, Kestrich, Köddingen, Stumpertenrod, Windhausen and Zeilbach were merged to form the new large municipality of Feldatal.

Courts since 1803

In the Landgraviate of Hesse-Darmstadt , the judicial system was reorganized in an executive order of December 9, 1803. The “Hofgericht Gießen” was set up as a court of second instance for the province of Upper Hesse . The jurisdiction of the first instance was carried out by the offices or landlords and thus the Ulrichstein office was responsible for Windhausen. The court court was the second instance court for normal civil disputes, and the first instance for civil family law cases and criminal cases. The second instance for the patrimonial courts were the civil law firms. The superior court of appeal in Darmstadt was superordinate .

With the founding of the Grand Duchy of Hesse in 1806, this function was retained, while the tasks of the first instance 1821–1822 were transferred to the newly created regional and city courts as part of the separation of jurisdiction and administration. Windhausen a lot in the judicial district of the " Alsfeld Regional Court ". By order of the Grand Ducal Hessian Ministry of the Interior and Justice, Windhausen was assigned to the district of the newly established Ulrichstein District Court on December 1, 1838 .

On the occasion of the introduction of the Courts Constitution Act with effect from October 1, 1879, as a result of which the previous grand ducal Hessian regional courts were replaced by local courts in the same place, while the newly created regional courts now functioned as higher courts, the name was changed to "Ulrichstein Local Court" and allocation to the district of the regional court of Giessen .

In 1943 the Ulrichstein District Court lost its independence and became a branch of the Schotten District Court . With effect from July 1, 1968, the local court of Schotten was dissolved, and Windhausen came to the judicial district of the local court of Alsfeld . The superordinate instances are now, the regional court Gießen , the higher regional court Frankfurt am Main and the federal court as last instance.
