Schmillinghausen Village Center

Schmillinghausen is a district of Bad Arolsen in the northern Hessian district of Waldeck-Frankenberg.
Schmillinghausen was probably founded during the second settlement period between 400 and 800 AD. The first documentary mention was in 1312, when Dietrich von Mederike ordered the chapel built by him at the "villa in Smedelinchusen" to be separated from its previous parish church in Külte and given its own plebanus. Herbsen and Hörle belonged to the parish Schmillinghausen. The lords of Mederike, who died out in the male line by 1405 at the latest, had property in Schmillinghausen until at least 1365, which they used as pledge. In 1357 they leased the mill of the Holy Cross in Schmillinghausen to the miller Johann.
In the course of the regional reform in Hesse, the community Schmillinghausen lost its independence on December 31, 1970 and was incorporated into the city of Arolsen.
