Burgholzhausen vor der Höhe is a quarter of the city of Friedrichsdorf at the foothills of the Taunus mountain range, approx. 20 km (12 mi) north of Frankfurt am Main.
The village was first mentioned in "letter of protection" by the archbishop Siegfried II. von Eppstein as "castra Holzhusin" back in 1222. In 1537 the "Eppsteiner Weistum" (a list of properties owned by the Lords of Eppstein) lists "Holtzhusen" as a village with 51 farmsteads and a fortification consisting of a double trench and two gates. From the Middle Ages to the German Mediatisation Holzhausen - as it was called then - was a "Reichsdorf" (village of the empire) with a 2/3 status of imperial immediacy, but apart from that was subordinated to a multitude of lords. After the introduction of the rule "Cuius regio, eius religio" by the "Peace of Augsburg" treaty this led to a convoluted separation of religious affiliations. Starting with the 16th century flax weaving mills became the main economic base for Burgholzhausen. Alongside the village's population lived on the processing of loam from their own quarries to produce pavers, oven- and wall-tiles. Later on in the 17th century fruit growing was introduced. In 1716 a catholic church of baroque style was erected. In the 17th century the Earls of Ingelheim owned the village. In 1741 the village became part of the Landgraviate of Hessen-Kassel. Because of this a legal case was heard at the Imperial Chamber Court. The Landgrave of Hesse-Cassel - William VIII - based his title and the alleged purchase of the village in 1595 by the Earl of Stolberg-Königstein. With the extinction of the family line of the Earl of Hanau-Münzenberg due to the death of Johann Reinhard III. of Hanau in 1736, who was the last heir of the Stolberg family line, William VIII argued to be the rightful inheritor of the village. The Imperial Chamber Court awarded a compensation payment to Baron Franz Adolph Dietrich von Ingelheim and confirmed the reign over the village to William VIII, Landgrave of Hesse-Cassel. As a result, Holzhausen became part of the Office of Rodheim At the time of the German Mediatisation in 1803 Burgholzhausen was one of the few last free villages of Holy Roman Empire. Between 1806 and 1810 Burgholzhausen was occupied by French troops and then became part of the Grand Duchy of Hesse. In 1832 Burgholzhausen became part of the district Friedberg. On 19 July 1939 Holzhausen was officially renamed to Burgholzhausen. After the World War II, the township grew considerably due to the influx of refugees. As part of the local government reform in 1972 Burgholzhausen became a suburb of Friedrichsdorf and now belongs to the district Hochtaunuskreis.
