The history of the town of Büdingen is connected to the noble family of Isenburg [sometimes spelled Ysenburg].

Büdingen has a significant history related to the migration to the Volga German colonies. It served as a gathering place for many colonist families who were immigrating, particularly in 1766.

During the spring and summer of 1766, several hundred colonist marriages were conducted in St. Mary's Lutheran Church in Büdingen. Those marriages have been published in the book by Mai & Marquardt (see Sources).

From 1637 to 1806, Buchenau was part of Hessen-Darmstadt.

Excavations in 1851 revealed that a settlement in the area of Brensbach had existed since the Middle Bronze Age (around 3,500 years ago). There is also evidence from the Iron Age dating around 450 BC when Celtic tribes settled large parts of Central Europe. The Romans also occupied the Odenwald area.

The earliest written mention of this place (noted as Brendisbach) dates to 1223. The line of the Lords of Brensbach, after whom the village took its name, died out in 1414.

This Breitenbrunn is located in the former Kreis of Erbach which Karl Stumpp identifies as the region of from which this family came.
