Gundernhausen (German pronunciation: [ɡʊndɐnˈhaʊ̯zn̩], in local dialect: Gunnehause) is a town in the municipality of Roßdorf in the district of Darmstadt-Dieburg, in Hesse, Germany. The town is located approximately five kilometers south-west of Dieburg and few kilometers west of Groß-Zimmern in the historic region Bachgau. In the opposite direction, it lies north-east and close by to Roßdorf, the other town comprising the municipality, and approximately ten kilometers east of Darmstadt. The surrounding area around Gundernhausen consists almost entirely of farmland, including several farms. Further up north is the southern end of the Oberwald forest. While most of inhabited area has an elevation of 150 – 160 meters, the southern part of the town is situated on a small hill called Stetteritz, an elevated area rising up to around 55m above the rest of the village. Archeological findings suggest that the area of Gundernhausen has been inhabited for over a millennium. Partly because of the name ...hausen, it is presumed that the settlement was first established in the 8th or 9th century. The first mention of the full town name Gunthershusen can be found in a document of the Abbey of Fulda from the year 1250. These historic documents reference the town with various similar names that changed over the centuries.
