Christoph Sauer, a citizen of Hausgereut, who involuntarily fought under Napoleon in Russia, is said to have planted the first linden tree here in 1812, in memory of that memorable time. This is how the landmark of Hausgereut came about. The tree has been registered as a natural monument since 1955. The ailing linden tree unfortunately had to be felled in 1998. Two years later, the current linden tree was planted, donated by Elsbeth Kirstein and Andreas Groß. According to the Hausgereut writer Karoline Hetz, there was a place with many linden trees near the little church. A so-called "linden square" existed in many villages. This was the meeting point for the villagers. In the vicinity is the inn "Dorflinde", which got its name from the linden tree.

The St. Nicholas Chapel in Hausgereut, a district of Rheinau in Baden-Württemberg, is one of the oldest preserved choir tower churches in the Hanauerland region. It was built between 1288 and 1289 on the site of an older chapel. Originally, it was dedicated to Saints Nicholas, James, and Mary Magdalene, but later St. Nicholas remained the sole patron saint of the church. The chapel was built because the residents of Hausgereut and Holzhausen had to travel long distances to the church in Kork at the time. With the construction of the chapel, Hausgereut received its own parish and became ecclesiastically independent. Particularly significant are the medieval wall paintings in the choir. The frescoes depict scenes from the life of Saint Nicholas as well as the symbols of the four evangelists. After the introduction of the Reformation in the Hanauerland in 1545, the chapel was only used as a mortuary chapel and gradually fell into disrepair. It was not until the 20th century that it was extensively restored, although

The Protestant church in Rheinbischofsheim, also called the „Hanauer Dom“, is the most striking building in the town of Rheinau-Rheinbischofsheim in Baden-Württemberg. The current neo-Gothic church was built between 1873 and 1876 and belongs to the Protestant parish of Rheinau. Due to its unusually large construction for a comparatively small town, it is regionally referred to as the „Cathedral of the Hanauerland“. A church in Rheinbischofsheim was first documented in 1371. Earlier buildings were destroyed and rebuilt several times throughout history, including during the Thirty Years' War. The current church is characterized by its high dome, spacious interior, and neo-Gothic elements.

Diersheim is a district of Rheinau in Hanauerland on the Upper Rhine and belongs to the older settlements in the region. Diersheim was first mentioned in the Middle Ages (around the 12th century). The place was under changing rule for a long time, including the Lords of Lichtenberg and later the County of Hanau-Lichtenberg. Like many places in the region, Diersheim became Protestant in the course of the Reformation. Due to its location near the Rhine, the place was repeatedly affected by wars between France and the German Empire, which led to destruction and reconstruction. Agriculture shaped the lives of the population for centuries. In 1974, Diersheim was incorporated into Rheinau as part of the municipal reform.
