History
Ehringshausen had its first documentary mention in 802 in a donation document in the Lorsch codex. According to this document, Inric gave the Lorsch Monastery a fortified yard in the Barcdorfer Mark in the Lahngau. Barcdorf lay near today's Ehringshausen on the Dill's right bank. Whether it can be regarded as Ehringshausen's direct forerunner is, however, unclear.
The oldest centre in the community is, however, not the namesake centre, but rather Breitenbach, which had its first documentary mention in 778.
