history

Until the church is planted

Oberaltenbuch (previously belonging to the Kartause Grünau ) was mediatized in 1806 in the Principality of Aschaffenburg . Unteraltenbuch ( belonging to Hochstift Mainz ) went in the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss to the Principality of Aschaffenburg of the Prince Primate von Dalberg . Since the treaties of Paris in 1814, Upper and Lower Old Books have belonged to Bavaria . In the course of the administrative reforms in Bavaria, the municipal edict of 1818 created the municipalities of Ober- and Unteraltenbuch. It was not until 1938 that Ober- and Unteraltenbuch combined to form the political municipality of Altenbuch.

Administrative history

In 1862 the district office of Marktheidenfeld was formed, on whose administrative territory the two communities were located. On April 1, 1938, Ober- and Unteraltenbuch were merged to form the political municipality of Altenbuch. In 1939, as everywhere in the German Reich, the designation district was introduced. Altenbuch was now one of the 47 communities in the Marktheidenfeld district . With the dissolution of the Marktheidenfeld district, Altenbuch moved to the newly formed Miltenberg district on July 1, 1972 .

Incorporations

On January 1, 2008, Kropfbrunn was incorporated into the Bischbrunn community .

religion

Altenbuch used to belong to the Catholic parish of Dorfprozelten and only became its own parish around 1760. The Church of St. Wolfgang was built in the Baroque style in 1770 and has been rebuilt and expanded several times. It has a four-part bronze bell ringing from the renowned Otto bell foundry in Bremen.
