history

local community

Today's municipality of Ahorns was once very splintered and in 1806 fell completely to Baden . The five current suburbs have belonged to the Adelsheim district office since 1924 at the latest and to the Buchen district office since 1936 .

On December 1, 1971, the Ahorn community was founded through the merger of the former communities of Eubigheim (including Obereubigheim), Buch am Ahorn and Hohenstadt. According to Buch, Schwarzenbrunn was incorporated as early as 1936. It was named after the maple forest of around 2000 hectares. On January 1, 1973, the hamlet of Neidelsbach was incorporated into the Hardheim community after a popular vote. On January 1st, 1975 Ahorn was united with the municipality of Berolzheim by the municipality reform law, at the same time Schillingstadt became part of the new municipality.

Since its foundation in 1973 the church the Main-Tauber-Kreis belongs (renamed on 1 January 1974, previously Tauber county ) to. Previously, the individual municipalities were assigned to the dissolved district of Buchen and were to be connected to the newly formed Neckar-Odenwald district with this. However, the distance to the district town of Mosbach of around 40 kilometers and the separation of the maple forest, which is linked to the orientation towards the Neckar , to which parts of the town of Lauda-Königshofen belong, spoke against this step and in favor of the more easily accessible Tauberbischofsheim as the new district town.
