Zellhausen, Historic village district in Mainhausen, Germany

Zellhausen is a district of Mainhausen in the Offenbach district of Hesse, situated about 115 meters above sea level. The settlement spreads across rural countryside with local infrastructure and transportation links to larger cities.

The village first appeared in written records as Cellhusen in 1238. It gained independence from serfdom in 1791 after paying 250 Gulden to authorities.

The Zellkirche outside the village recalls early Christian missionary work in the region. It shapes the landscape today and connects visitors to this spiritual heritage.

The Odenwaldbahn railway connects the area to larger cities like Hanau and Frankfurt. Visitors should check local schedules to plan good access to the region.

During World War II, the area contained a secret military airfield called Einsatzhafen Zellhausen. This hidden history left traces in the landscape that are difficult to spot today.
