geography
location
Schlüchtern is located in the eastern Main-Kinzig district at an altitude of 207 m above sea level , about 30 km southwest of Fulda at the southwest end of the ridge belonging to the Vorder- and Kuppenrhön . The narrower region is called the Bergwinkel because this is where the foothills of the Brückenauer Kuppenrhön meet in the east, the Sandstone Spessart in the south and the south of the Lower Vogelsberg in the west. The valley in which Schlüchtern is located is known as the Schlüchtern basin. The Kinzig flows through the city, which rises in Sinntal- Sterbfritz and flows into the Main in Hanau . Schlüchtern and the region are therefore in the Kinzig valley.

history
Prehistory and early history / antiquity
The assumption that a Celtic settlement existed in the Schlüchtern area arose when various excavations were discovered during excavations for new buildings. These finds include skeletons, wall remains that suggest a protective wall of an earlier settlement, reliefs of some grave monuments and various shards. The finds were brought to the Humboldt University in Berlin, where they will be examined.
Not only in Schlüchtern, but also in other cities in the Bergwinkel area, there were first signs of settlement very early. Especially in the low mountain ranges Spessart, Vogelsberg and Rhön, which enclose the Bergwinkel, early settlement could be proven by finds of graves. In some cities in this area, such as Dirlammen and Hosenfeld, many so-called barrows were found, most of which date from the Bronze Age. In Fulda, too, the settlement of the cathedral hill in the first century AD by Germanic tribes has been proven. These finds suggest that the early settlement of the Teutons and Celts in the mountain corner was not uncommon. A so-called “sensational find” was also made in Lahnau, about an hour away. During the construction of a 3.6 hectare industrial area that was once planned, shards were found that can be traced back to Roman times.
Before the turn of the ages, several Celtic-Germanic population groups settled mainly in what is now northern and central Hesse. This is indicated by the legacies of human activity in the ground. Tools, jewelery, remains of settlements and graves were found around this area, all of which indicate Celtic-Germanic handicrafts.
The Germanic Chatti , the ancestors of today's Hessians , later developed from these ethnic groups .
middle Ages
According to the linguist and historian Ernst Erich Metzner , the name Schlüchtern goes back to the event or Walstatt name " Sluhti " or " Sluht-warim " (roughly equivalent to "residents / residents / guardians of the battle or the battlefield") back. There are references to a monastery settlement that already existed around 750 , a few years after the foundation of the Fulda monastery by Bonifatius 744. The oldest written mention of the monastery contains a document from the year 993. The center of the place was the Schlüchtern monastery . To the west of the old town is a three-storey building with hump-cornered cuboids, probably the last evidence of a moated castle located at this point . The building was changed several times in the early modern period . Originally located outside the city wall , it was later incorporated into them.
The place was originally an imperial property that was assigned to the monastery. Later it was a fief of the Diocese of Würzburg to the Counts of Rieneck , who ceded it to Hanau in 1316 . The landlord was the abbot of the Schlüchtern monastery. The city was the suburb of the Schlüchtern office of the same name , the most northeastern office of the rule and - since 1429 - County Hanau , since 1458: County Hanau-Münzenberg . Schlüchtern was on the “ Via Regia ” trade route, which was important in the Middle Ages and early modern times , from Frankfurt am Main to Leipzig . In the late Middle Ages, the Schlüchtern monastery increasingly came under the influence of the lords and later counts of Hanau. In 1457 it finally came under the patronage of Hanau.
In 1167 the churches of Elm, Kressenbach and Hintersteinau belonged to the parish church of Schlüchtern, which was in the diocese of Würzburg and was under the patronage of Maria . Here, as in the wider sphere that was patronage the monastery Schlüchtern to.

- Sluohderin (993)
- Sluohcterin (993) - spelling corrected according to recent research
- Sluohterin (999)
- Sludgeist (1003)

Early modern age
The County of Hanau-Münzenberg initially joined the Lutheran denomination during the Reformation . The fact that the abbot of the Schlüchtern monastery, Petrus Lotichius , who had ruled since 1534, played a decisive role here, and turned to humanism and the Reformation. From 1540 he converted the monastery into an educational facility for the next generation of the church. From this a Latin school developed , which in turn is the predecessor of today's Ulrich-von-Hutten-Gymnasium . Philipp Melanchthon advised him about the school and also visited him. As a first step, in 1544 he sent seven of his best students to study theology at the Philipps University of Marburg . He had well-trained pastors committed to Lutheran teaching for the parishes in and around Schlüchtern. The Reformation also put the monastery in a precarious position vis-à-vis the responsible bishop of Würzburg . The sovereignty took advantage of this, at that time the guardianship for Count Philip III , who was still underage . von Hanau-Munzenberg , which itself supported the Reformation. It granted the monastery protection against Würzburg and at the same time expanded its rule in and around Schlüchtern.
From 1597 Count Philipp Ludwig II pursued a decidedly reformed church policy and made use of his right as sovereign to determine the denomination of his subjects, the Jus reformandi . He enforced this version of the Reformation as binding for the County of Hanau-Munzenberg.
Niederzell and the monastery courtyards Drasenberg, Gomfritz (formerly Gumberts), Reith and Röhrigs were part of the parish of Schlüchtern.
The Hutzelmühle in front of the Krämertor, the Hildebrandmühle, the Klostermühle in the courtyard area of the monastery, the Klöbersmühle at the Untertor and the Riedscheider Mühle at the southern exit of the town were located in the area of the city boundary. They were all on mill ditches that were derived from the Kinzig.
With the death of the last Hanau count, Johann Reinhard III. , Schlüchtern fell in 1736 with the entire county of Hanau-Münzenberg to the Landgraviate of Hessen-Kassel , from which the Electorate of Hesse emerged in 1803 .
Modern times
During the Napoleonic period, Schlüchtern 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, which divided the Electorate of Hesse into four provinces and 22 districts, Schlüchtern became the administrative seat of the district of the same name . In 1866 the electorate was annexed by Prussia after the Austro-Prussian War .
The owners of the Schlüchtern and Steinau soap factories, classified as Jewish under the Nuremberg Laws , were robbed of their factories and their homeland under National Socialism .
After the Second World War it became part of the state of Hesse . Schlüchtern changed the administrations to which it belonged accordingly.
On June 10, 1949, the “European Health Care” working group was established in Schlüchterner Schlösschen as a section within a “European Academy” (General Secretary of the academy aiming to “create the foundations for a union of the peoples of Europe on a federal basis” was the lawyer Maximilian Karl Graf Trauttmansdorff , President was Karl Geiler ).
Schlüchtern has been a recognized climatic health resort since 1966 . With the regional reform in Hesse , the district of Schlüchtern became part of the newly created Main-Kinzig district on July 1, 1974. Schlüchtern lost its function as the seat of an independent district administration.
Incorporations
In the course of the regional reform in Hesse on December 1, 1969, the previously independent municipalities Ahlersbach, Breitenbach, Elm, Gundhelm, Herolz, Hohenzell, Hutten, Klosterhöfe and Vollmerz were incorporated on a voluntary basis.

This was of great importance in long-distance traffic until 1914. It formed the head of a hairpin with which the trains between ( Berlin -) Fulda and Frankfurt overcame the ridge of the thistle lawn. Since this operation was very obstructive with increasing traffic, the Schlüchtern tunnel was laid under the thistle lawn from 1909 and inaugurated on May 1, 1914.
