 "Stoddenstat" was donated to Fulda Abbey by Henry II, Holy Roman Emperor.This lasted until 1309, when Stockstadt was given to the Archbishopric of Mainz.In the Middle Ages the surrounding forests belonged to the Dreieich Royal Hunting Forest ("Wildbann Dreieich"), which also had one of its 30 "Wildhuben" (farming estates whose owners were charged with guarding the king’s hunting rights) in Stockstadt.
