history

The Rothenbuch winery emerged from the Vizedomamt Aschaffenburg as an independent entity . Rothenbuch was one of the older places in the Hoch Spessart and was in a secluded location in the woods of the Spessart. From the 14th century, other places in the area developed from glassworks, and independent administrative structures formed after a time. The most important newly created place was the parish of Wiesthal (1st half of the 14th century). In the next century Neuhütten , Habichsthal , Heigenbrücken and Krommenthal were added . Heinrichsthal and Jakobsthal were added in the late 17th century.

The highest official in Rothenbuch before the formation of the office was initially the Kurmainzische forester responsible for the Spessart, who had his seat in the castle in Rothenbuch. In 1485, his service description also contained the obligation to supervise the subjects of the Spessart villages for the first time. From the last quarter of the 16th century, the documents refer to a Rothenbuch office. In 1686 the two offices of Rothenbuch and Heimbuchenthal were merged into the Rothenbuch and Heimbuchenthal winery (from 1687: Rothenbuch winery). In 1691 the solution from the Vizedomamt Aschaffenburg took place. This was reversed as early as 1704 and the winery was again subordinated to the Vizedom.

The administrative reform of 1772 resulted in the Rothenbuch District Bailiwick. This was expanded to include the towns of Hain im Spessart , Laufach and Waldaschaff . The seat of the magistrate was Hain. In 1782 this seat was moved back to Rothenbuch. At the same time, the Rothenbuch and Kaltenberg wineries were merged into one Rothenbuch and Kaltenberg winery.

As a result of the secularization of the archbishopric in 1803, the district bailiwick of Rothenbuch came to the Principality of Aschaffenburg , then belonged to the Grand Duchy of Frankfurt and fell to the Kingdom of Bavaria in 1814 .
