The origins of the Patershausen estate, located in the forest between Heusenstamm and Dietzenbach, are shrouded in mystery. What is certain is that it was once a Benedictine monastery. The Lorsch Codex mentions a donation from Irminrat von Rumpenheim in 806, which gave property from Auheim and Bellingen to the Lorsch monastery. Based on its location, Bellingen is thought to be near Heusenstamm and is last mentioned in the Lorsch property register in 815. It is assumed that it became a deserted village, i.e. the village was abandoned by its inhabitants. The reasons for this could be the founding of the village of Renigishausen and possibly the village of Heissenstein.

The Benedictines managed the Patershausen monastery: they cleared the land, made the soil fertile, built the monastery buildings and the church "Beatae Et Perpetue Virginis Marie". As a branch church, the Patershausen monastery was responsible for the villages of Heusenstamm, Renigishausen, Obertshausen and probably also Richolfshausen; the mother church was Dietzenbach. In addition to the Patershausen branch, this also included Ippingshausen, Hartingshofen and Messenhausen.

The monastery existed until the first half of the 13th century, when it was bought and dissolved by Ulrich I of Hagen-Münzenberg. In 1252, Ulrich II bequeathed it to his sister Lucardis, who was now the first abbess to lead the Cistercian monastery "Corona Virginum". Having become wealthy through donations, the monastery housed over 50 nuns in its heyday around 1300 and received income from around 50 farms and estates and over 200 villages. The Reformation brought about its dissolution in 1556.

Abbess Benedikta was the “boss” of the Patershausen monastery.
