Zellhausen, Historic village district in Mainhausen, Germany

Zellhausen occupies a position at 115 meters above sea level within the municipal boundaries of Mainhausen in the Offenbach district of Hesse.

The settlement first appeared in records as Cellhusen in 1238 and gained independence from serfdom in 1791 by paying 250 Gulden to authorities.

The Zellkirche, located outside the village boundaries, functioned as a missionary station for Irish and Scottish religious activities in the 7th century.

The Odenwaldbahn railway provides transportation connections from Zellhausen to major cities including Hanau and Frankfurt.

During World War II, the area contained a secret military airfield spanning 1.4 cubic kilometers, known as Einsatzhafen Zellhausen.
