history

The core of the exercise of power in the area was Aub Castle . The Aub office was formed from its accessories as part of the territorialization . This was owned by Hohenlohe . After their extinction, an inheritance arose around 1390 . Half went to the von Weinsberg family . Half of them came into the possession of the Counts of Königstein through marriage . This Königstein share came to Würzburg in 1521 under Conrad II von Thüngen . A quarter of the office belonged to Truchseß von Baldersheim and came to Würzburg in 1602 as a settled fiefdom . The last quarter belonged to the Rosenberg. This share came to Würzburg in 1632 and to the Electoral Palatinate ( Oberamt Boxberg ) in 1649 with the Peace of Westphalia . In 1668 it was assigned to the Teutonic Order .
