History The first mention can be found in a document from 1103. The history of the village is directly related to the Lords of Isenburg. Around 1100, Reinbold and Gerlach built the Isenburg in the area of a manor of the Fulda Abbey as the ancestral castle of the Lords of Isenburg. Soon after the castle was built, the first residents settled in the valley and built their houses around the castle hill. Isenburg was a castle village and had special rights such as the status of a free town. However, a town was never founded, as the location of the town did not offer any opportunities for expansion. At the beginning of the 14th century, Isenburg was fortified. The fortifications, which extended over a large area around the castle and valley, not only protected the town, but also served as an advanced security point for the castle. The town fortifications consisted of a wall with four gates. Two gates - the "Alte Porz" and the "Schildpforte"

The museum provides information about the history of the castle and county of Hartenstein. Exciting exhibits tell of the Saxon prince kidnapping.
