Hainstadt

Near Hainstadt are preserved the remains of a Roman settlement. It is, however, questionable whether there was continuous settlement here between the time when this was built and the 12th century, when Hainstadt had its first documentary mention. When Gottfried of Eppstein sold Electoral Mainz the Amt of Steinheim with all the places belonging thereto in 1425, the Electors and Archbishops of Mainz took over as the new landlords. In 1532, the compulsory labour that Hainstadt people would ordinarily have to have done was cast aside in favour of payments in money.

When the Auheimer Mark (an old cadastral unit) was partitioned in 1786, Hainstadt was given part of the Markwald (common forest). After Electoral Mainz's Secularization, the Oberamt of Steinheim passed in 1803 to the Landgraviate of Hesse-Darmstadt. In 1882, the Hanau-Eberbach railway with a railway station in Hainstadt was opened.

On 1 January 1977, in the course of municipal reform in Hesse, Hainstadt was merged with the neighbouring community of Klein-Krotzenburg under the name Hainburg.

Klein-Krotzenburg

Cutzenburch had its first documentary mention in 1175 in a legal battle between the Seligenstadt Abbey and Saint Peter's Monastery in Mainz. The Seligenstadt Abbey at this time had extensive landholdings in Krotzenburg. Already by this time, the Prince-Elector-Archbishop of Mainz was the landlord in Klein-Krotzenburg.

During the Thirty Years' War, the populace suffered mightily. In 1632 alone, 90 inhabitants died of the Plague. By the war's end, everyone had fled the village.

In 1736, a chapel was built on the Liebfrauenheide (heath), which soon became a pilgrimage site. After Electoral Mainz's Secularization, the Oberamt of Steinheim passed in 1803 to the Landgraviate of Hesse-Darmstadt, bringing Klein-Krotzenburg with it.

On 1 January 1977, in the course of municipal reform in Hesse, Klein-Krotzenburg was merged with the neighbouring community of Hainstadt under the name Hainburg.
