Historically, Gössenheim had its first documentary mention in 788. On 18 January that year, Count Manto and his brother Megingoz donated their holdings in Veringewe (Werngau), Heselere (Heßlar), Tüngide (Thüngen), Binzufeld (Binsfeld), Haholtesheim (Halsheim), Steti (Stetten), Büthult (Büchold) and Gysenheim (Gössenheim) to the Fulda Abbey. Already by Charlemagne’s time Gössenheim must have been a kingly estate and not at all an unimportant place.
