History
The monastery of St. Alban in Mainz received rights in Crumbach in the 14th and 15th century.
The farmers in the three villages were mostly part-time farmers and since the beginning of the 19th century they had workshops in which they produced parts for the new industries of Kassel. The Brothers Grimm visited the three villages in the 1820s, a drawing by Ludwig Emil Grimm from 1821 shows the late summer in Crumbach, another drawing the church of Vollmarshausen. Around 1850 many people were employed regularly in the industries of Kassel, in 1912 the Söhrebahn-rail as a connection to the town was built.
A new settlement (called "Die Siedlung") between the villages Crumbach and Ochsenhausen was planned in 1919 and realized partially in the late 1930s by the architect Hannsgeorg Oechler. The architecture combines elements of a garden town with some neoclassic citations. On 1 June 1941, merged the two communities Crumbach and Ochsenhausen to the new community of Lohfelden. In the area of the municipality, at the former airfield Kassel-Waldau stood the aircraft industry Fieseler, known for the construction of the Fieseler Storch. The factory was badly damaged in World War II and never rebuilt, while the village of Vollmarshausen remained completely undamaged.
