Burgholzhausen vor der Höhe is a quarter of the city of Friedrichsdorf at the foothills of the Taunus mountain range, approx.
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.
Alongside the village's population lived on the processing of loam from their own quarries to produce pavers, oven- and wall-tiles.
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.
The biggest sports club in the suburb is the TV 1893 e. V. Burgholzhausen with its divisions for aikido, football, athletics, table tennis, gymnastics and volleyball.
