With around 2500 inhabitants, Aufenau is the largest district of Wächtersbach in the Main-Kinzig district in Hesse, along with the core town , and one of its five valley communities with Hesseldorf , Neudorf (Wächtersbach) and Weilers . Three other districts Wittgenborn , Waldensberg and Leisenwald are on the Spielberger Platte .

Geographical location

The street village of Aufenau is located about one kilometer southeast of the core town of Wächtersbach on the left, the southern side of the Kinzig valley , on the edge of an extensive Kinzigaue and at the foot of the Spessart , adjacent to the south , opposite the Untere Vogelsberg . State road 3216 runs through the town from west to east . In the west it represents the connection to the federal highway 276 , which leads to the " Eiserner Hand " (crossroads at the confluence of the Aubache coming from Bad Orb into the Kinzig) and on to Wirtheim . In the east, the state road leads to Bad Soden-Salmünster . The district road K 886 connects the place in the north with Kinzighausen and Neudorf and the district road 887 leads over the Aufenauer Berg to Bad Orb .

history

Place name

The place is first mentioned in the year 886 as hovwenowa , around 1167 for the first time verifiably documented as vuenowe , in a list of possessions of the Schlüchtern monastery in a document Herold von Hochheim , the bishop of Würzburg (1165–1171). Another documentary mention was made in 1376 in a fiefdom repetitorium of the Schlüchtern monastery as Latinized ubena .

In 1534 it was named as Auffenaw in a feudal deed . From the beginning of the 17th century, Aufenau almost exclusively in its current form.

The name Aufenau designated probably originally one on a Au nearby farm. There are different interpretations of the name, most likely the Old High German name Hov-wenowa means that it was a farm in the meadows of the Kinzig, according to other sources, Uffenuffa is the short form for "Hof des Uffo". Since the German landscape was heavily forested until the 16th century and settlements along rivers and on natural plateaus near the rivers were common, this assumption that it is a collection of farms in a floodplain may well be correct.

Middle Ages to modern times

The court of Aufenau, to which Aufenau, Neudorf, Hain bei Wächtersbach, which was later burned down in the Thirty Years War and which belonged to Kinzighausen Castle, was originally an imperial estate that came to the Lords of Lißberg . In 1365 it was owned as a fief by the forest masters von Gelnhausen in the knight canton of Middle Rhine .

The forest masters from Gelnhausen were ministerials who were unfree in the service of the emperor and the clergy in the imperial city of Gelnhausen . Their seat was Schloss Kinzighausen on an island in the Kinzig, not far from Aufenau, usually called the Blue Wonder . Obviously, the lords of Kinzighausen had achieved considerable prosperity because they supported the construction of the Marienkirche and used it as their own burial place .

From the 16th century onwards there were repeated disputes with the neighboring Counts of Ysenburg in Wächtersbach , who were steadily gaining in power and influence, and who were a thorn in the side of the wealthy ministerials south of the Kinzig.

Like Count Anton von Ysenburg , Friedrich von Forstmeister converted to the Lutheran faith in 1544. “His two brothers remained Catholic”. This also meant that the “right of patronage over the church in Aufenau was shared between the Catholic and Protestant line of forest masters. As subjects , the Aufenau followed the respective landlords in faith. Some of them remained Catholic or became Protestant with Mr. Friedrich von Forstmeister. This strict denominational separation of the village continued into the 20th century.

After the Thirty Years' War, in 1649, the Lutheran Johann von Forstmeister sold his part of the rights to the Aufenau Church to his Catholic relative Lukas Heinrich von Forstmeister. The resulting church dispute in Aufenau , about the use of the church and the free exercise of religion, dragged on for three decades and was carried into the imperial estates . The comparison drawn on November 23, 1683 regulated the relationship between the two churches in great detail, in 30 individual points. Through an even division of the parish property, shared use of the choir and nave of the church, temporal allocation of times of worship for the denominations and finally separate keys for each of the parties ”. a lasting, peaceful settlement was achieved in a simultaneous church . The few Wächtersbach Catholics also used the church in Aufenau for centuries, until their own church was built at the beginning of the 20th century.

Aufenau lay on the former Reichsstrasse , the Via Regia , which led from Frankfurt am Main to Leipzig (and on to Kiev ). It was one of the most important connections to Central Germany from the Middle Ages to modern times . Remnants of this street can only be made out with a local guide or can be found in front of the museum in Steinau .

During the Thirty Years War , Aufenau was repeatedly the victim of looting and occupation. Towards the end of the war, in 1646, the residents of Aufenau tried to defend themselves against repeated attacks, but nothing is known about their success.

In 1781 the lords of Forstmeister Aufenau sold it to Kurmainz , which united it with the electoral state in 1787.

From 1764, the road from Frankfurt to Fulda , which ran through Aufenau, was one of the first roads in Hessen to be converted into a road . In Aufenau, the route around the church was changed and a corresponding, still very well-preserved retaining wall was specially built to enable the route that is still in force today. For this purpose, the churchyard near the church at that time was removed, the hill behind the church was cut and a retaining wall made of masonry was built. The street was now led directly past the church instead of through today's Marienstraße. The enormous width of the street for the time was considered a sensation. The country road also contributed to a noticeable development of Aufenau.

In 1807, Aufenau was assigned to the Kingdom of Westphalia under Jérôme Bonaparte by the Peace of Tilsit . On the retreat from the Battle of the Nations near Leipzig , at the end of October 1813, French units flooded Aufenau. They brought in typhus and looted the church and various courtyards.

Since the Peace of Paris in 1814, Aufenau and the neighboring Bad Orb belonged to the Kingdom of Bavaria . In 1866, Aufenau was annexed by the Kingdom of Prussia and incorporated into the province of Hessen-Nassau and the district of Gelnhausen as a result of the German War lost for Bavaria .

First and Second World War

The First World War did not leave Aufenau without a trace. Due to the scarcity of raw materials in the empire, the bells of the church were picked up, only a small bell was left behind for services, etc. In the autumn of 1918, the Spanish flu in Aufenau claimed many lives.

Between the world wars, Hauptstraße (today's Frankfurter and Leipziger Straße) became part of Reichsstraße 40 and was therefore the most important street between Fulda and Frankfurt for over 50 years.

Towards the end of World War II came Aufenau its proximity to the Kinzig Valley Railway and the military installations, such as the barracks of the anti-tank section 9 in Gelnhausen and the airbase Rothenbergen more and more into the sight of Allied fighter-bomber attacks . Despite the prohibition under the Hague Land Warfare Regulations , farmers were also taken under gunfire during the harvest. On March 27, 1945, American low-flying planes set fire to a house and a barn, severely damaging the house and destroying the barn. The advancing western front reached Aufenau on Easter 1945. The 3rd US Army under General Patton advanced from Hanau with the main thrust in Vogelsberg and met the remnants of the 7th Army under General Hans von Obstfelder , which fought heavy defensive battles with the Americans in the Main-Kinzig and Vogelsberg area in March and April . After the last tank battle on the Spielberger Platte , the American artillery attacked Aufenau on Holy Saturday and badly damaged the place. Advancing armored reconnaissance vehicles were shot at by entrenched German soldiers on Easter Sunday morning, after which heavy artillery fire was set on Aufenau. It is thanks to some of the villagers, through their courageous efforts, that the remaining German soldiers, without offering any further resistance, withdrew overnight and the place was then occupied by the Americans without a fight.

After the occupation, soldiers of the US Air Force, who inspected the air bases in Rothenbergen and Gelnhausen, were billeted in Aufenau.

Development since the Second World War

After the end of the Second World War, 316 displaced persons were housed in Aufenau, of which 252 found a permanent home in Aufenau. With the economic miracle of the 1950s, the route from Fulda to Frankfurt became more and more important and the road layout was expanded further and further. Until the construction of the A 66 , the B 40 through Aufenau became the most important connection from the Rhine-Main area to East Hesse.

On the occasion of the regional reform in Hesse , the municipality of Aufenau joined the city of Wächtersbach on April 1, 1971.

The first German soft cheese factory in Aufenau

The story of research into soft cheese in Germany begins with Justus von Liebig (1803–1873). From 1836 onwards, Liebig, who was teaching at the University of Giessen, began researching the fermentation of soft cheese. The language teacher from French-speaking Switzerland and his friend Professor Nicolaus Adnot (1798–1869), who “found a new home in Germany” , also taught there in Giessen . Adnot got to know the rural Aufenau through Justus von Liebig. In 1863 he acquired the former seat of the family of the forest masters von Gelnhausen and settled there. The place seemed to him, "... after similar failed attempts in other places ...", due to the expected good milk quality, very suitable for his plans to start a soft cheese production.

In the former noble residence of the von Forstmeister, whom Adnot named "Villa Blumenau", he built a cheese dairy. The cheese products made here: “Fromage de Brie” (at that time the designations of origin such as “Brie” were not yet strictly protected), “Blauschimmel” or “Neufchateller” soon enjoyed a good reputation. Aufenau was the first place in Germany to have produced soft cheese since 1863.

Professor Adnot was married to Carolina, b. Cloette. He died on June 3, 1869 and, like his wife later and other members of the family, was buried in the old Aufenauer cemetery. After Adnot's death, on June 21, 1869, the dairy was transferred to his son-in-law and previous authorized signatory, the businessman Johann Gottfried Reinhardt.

Reinhardt continued the production until after the death of Adnot's widow Carolina (September 19, 1877) and sold it on December 11, 1878 to the Wächtersbach merchant Louis Prinz. When he took over, Prinz paid 15,000 marks for the secret of cheese production alone. With his son Heinrich Prinz as authorized signatory, “the company flourished under the name Erste Deutsche Weichkäserei, Nic. Adnot successor, founded in 1863 on powerful “.

The Villa Blumenau had to be expanded, "at times 20 to 30 people were employed", who took care of the entire production cycle from the milk reception to the individual processing steps, to the manufacture of mats and trays for storage, and the weaving of baskets for packaging. The cheese has been presented at national and international exhibitions since 1879 and has won high awards, including gold medals. It was exported as far as Sweden and Italy; local sales were partly carried out via “cheese women” who brought the cheese to customers in “baskets and neighborhoods”. At times, the company processed up to 5,000 liters of milk a day together with the subsidiary in Bad Soden-Salmünster (until 1913). The product range included: Brie, Neufchateller, breakfast cheese, Caprera (Camembert with blue mold), Gervais and butter. The brie was made in cakes weighing up to 3 kg and sent in wicker baskets.

In 1883, father Louis and son Hermann Prinz also got involved in Saxony by taking over the teaching dairy and French cheese dairy Heinrichsthal . Another production site was added later in Gensungen near Kassel . After the death of Louis Prinz, the business was passed to his son Carl Prinz and son-in-law Johann Heinrich Kautz. It then stayed with the Kautz family until it was leased to the large MoHa dairy in Frankfurt.

The milk catchment area for the Aufenau cheese dairy initially comprised 20 villages in the southern Vogelsberg. A new division in the Third Reich reduced the number of supplying towns to only 4, corresponding to a milk volume of 2000 liters a day. After the war, the milk volume fell to less than 600 liters and gradually made production unprofitable. "The company stopped production in 1955".

religion

Aufenau has a Roman Catholic Church and an Evangelical Lutheran Church. Members of other religious communities, in particular Protestants, Muslims, Jehovah's Witnesses and followers of Christian sects (Nazarenes) must visit the facilities in Wächtersbach, Bad Orb or Bad Soden-Salmünster.

politics

Local advisory board

There is a local district for Aufenau according to the Hessian municipal code . Since the local elections there has been a majority of the CDU in the seven-member local council . The current mayor is Hans Mitzinger (CDU), his deputy is Benno Waigand (CDU).

coat of arms

On November 16, 1965, the municipality of Aufenau in what was then the district of Gelnhausen , administrative district of Wiesbaden , was awarded a coat of arms with the following blazon : In blue, a golden double hook, raised by a golden eagle's head, topped with golden shingles and a golden cross at the top right.

meaning

It is the coat of arms of Mr. Forstmeister von Gelnhausen , which was to be adopted as the municipal coat of arms by resolution of October 10, 1964, in order to express the close ties between the municipality and the Forstmeister family.

The eagle's head is on the one hand an allusion to the occurrence of sea ​​eagles , which were to be found in the Kinzigaue until the early modern era, on the other hand the eagle is a symbol of aristocratic power. The double hook is a symbol of the wolf fishing , a common hunting device until the 19th century when trapping wolves, in the dense forests of the area and elsewhere. The order cross is likely to indicate participation in a crusade, but this has not yet been confirmed as there is hardly any information about it. The eight longitudinal shingles distributed over the shield surface most likely represent the individual possessions of the forest masters von Gelnhausen up to 1503, according to other sources they represent the descendants of the family.

Culture and sights

Museums

Ludwig Nüdling Museum

Ludwig Nüdling , a local poet from the Rhön (publisher, among other things, of the first communion pamphlet "Communion Bell" ), was the Catholic community leader in Aufenau between 1907 and 1919. During this time he wrote a number of poems and eucharistic texts that were published all over Germany. Pastor i. R. Monsignor Franz Koska built up the collection over the years and thus founded the Nüdling Museum, which has found its home in the old rectory of the Catholic community next to the church.

Buildings

Church of the "Sorrowful Mother of God" (Marienkirche)

In 1167, a basilica in Aufenau ("basilica in uvenowe") is mentioned for the first time. Today, a late Gothic hall from the 15th century stands on the site of the former basilica .

The retracted choir of the church forms a triangle . No documents are known about the building history. There is also no documentation of the baroque changes of the 18th and 19th centuries. The Church is consecrated to the Sorrowful Mother of God . In 1891 an extensive church renovation took place in the style of historicism . A sacrament chapel was built on the north side , today's sacristy . The nave has a coffered flat ceiling , the extra-long choir is vaulted . The slightly laterally offset tower, on a square floor plan, provides space for a baroque entrance portal. The double onion spire of the tower dates from 1755, when the church was extensively rebuilt after a fire (1750).

The particularly valuable pieces of interior furnishings include:

  • The late Gothic altarpiece from the Middle Rhine school from around 1470 in the form of a triptych shows the coronation of the Mother of God Mary on the holiday side (with the wings open). It was "exemplary restored" in the early 1990s.
  • A Ratzmann organ completed in 1881
  • Two epitaphs from the family of Mr. Forstmeister von Gelnhausen, in the SW corner of the nave.

Villa Blumenau

The Villa Blumenau, located on the mountain slope above the Catholic Church, is an old historical building. It was originally the seat of the court of the noble family of forest masters von Gelnhausen. Later, after 1544, it became the residence of the Protestant branch of the family, while the Catholic branch resided in the "Blue Wonder" in Kinzighausen. "After the Lutheran forest masters died out in 1747" it became an official and administrative building. In 1766, an agent of Catherine the Great , who recruited Germans willing to resettle, had his seat there. With the beginning of the Bavarian period, in 1814, it was a Bavarian customs post .

When it was rebuilt in 1716, the building essentially got "its current shape". The name "Villa Blumenau" was given to the building in 1863 by Professor Nicolaus Adnot when he founded his soft cheese factory in this building on the hillside. The name “Käsberg” quickly made the rounds among the locals, and it has remained. Adnot's subsequent owner of the building, Louis Prinz, increased it "... before the turn of the century to its present size" for the purposes of his growing cheese factory.

There was an extensive garden area around the building. In 1959, “the Evangelical Lutheran parish of Aufenau” acquired part of it and built its community center with a church, parsonage and community rooms on it.

Other structures

  • Elementary school Aufenau - The school building from 1910 corresponds structurally to the requirements of the time for denominational separation. The two entrances, depending on the denomination, and a village teacher's apartment are still clearly visible today. The ultra-modern extension was built on the layout of the former stables. At that time it was customary for teachers to additionally support themselves with their own livestock. At the same time, the stables also served as toilets for the students. The school is located at the starting point of the old "Fuhrmannshohle" (also Fuhrmann Hohl), which leads over the ridge to the southwest. This ravine is most likely part of the old Frankfurt-Leipzig trade route.
  • Way of the Cross around Aufenau with portraits of Mary (information in the Catholic parish office)
  • Former Jewish cemetery on Münchener Strasse.

societies

Aufenau has various associations , clubs and groups that meet regularly. Until a few years ago, a notch was also held , the highlight of the summer events.

Regular events

Aufenauer notch

Every year on the second weekend in August, the Aufenauer Kerb takes place, one of the most popular folk festivals in the area with more than 10,000 visitors. Traditionally, the Kerb takes place in the marquee on the fairground next to the Kinzig. Well-known bands from the region will start playing on Friday evening. On Saturday, the notch decorated by the residents Aufenaus is notched tree down on a procession through the village and set up by the notch guys at the fairground. Loosening the ropes is the task of the newly admitted member (young boy). On Monday morning, work in the local companies in Aufenau generally rests, the workforce then meets on the curb for traditional corrugated meat . The conclusion is the "burial" of the curb on the notch Monday at a place chosen by the kerbboys, where it must be dug up again the following year.

Kinzigtal totally

Every year the clubs near Kinzigtal host a large number of smaller festivals, supply and entertainment stands along the route through the town. Aufenau is transformed into a party mile over a distance of 2.5 km. The booths of the volunteer fire brigade at the fire station and the Kneipp club Eberborn e. V. in the town center.

Motocross

After world championship races in 1998 and 2004, international motocross races for the German championship and the Motocross Hessencup in various categories take place regularly on the popular site of the MSC-Aufenau 1964 e. V. takes place in the DMV. For this purpose, the area, which is located away from the motorway, has been extensively redesigned and offers two entrances to the paddock and parking spaces for team vehicles and campers. Motorists consider the route to be extremely demanding.

Economy and Infrastructure

education

Besides the city center, Aufenau is the only district of Wächtersbach that has its own elementary school. In the city center of Wächtersbach there is also a cooperative comprehensive school , the Friedrich-August-Genth School. Like all other districts, Aufenau is connected to the school center in downtown Wächtersbach by bus.

Public facilities

kindergarten

Between 1995 and 2005 the infrastructure in the district was extensively renovated. The town planners tried to add a 'core' to the place through traffic management measures in the elementary school and kindergarten area. The "Löwenzahn" kindergarten is located right next to the representative building of the primary school. It has a total of 75 places. The children are cared for in three groups. Two of these are kindergarten groups (Ü3) and one daycare group (U3).

Aufenau cultural center

The Aufenau cultural center, which was later built on the site of the former Raiffeisenmarkt in Marienstraße, became necessary due to the very limited capacity of the old community center. The architecture, which was developed by the planning office Erich Korn, fits the new building ideally into the existing structure and, together with the old mayor's house of Aufenau (today's club house), results in a very appealing overall composition of modern, regionally adapted architecture. The interior division enables a wide range of uses, the interior fittings are handicapped and especially senior-friendly and can be adapted to various requirements by means of movable partition walls. Although it is located in an inner-town location with built-up areas, there are still sufficient parking spaces in the immediate vicinity. The Aufenau cultural center is a prime example of the construction of modern community halls and is very popular with the entire population in Aufenau.

Volunteer firefighter

The Aufenau volunteer fire brigade has its own base in the center of the village . It was founded on December 10, 1932, and entered in the register of associations on April 28, 1934 under No. 10 of the Bad Orb District Court . One of the first practical tests for the new weir was the great castle fire in Wächtersbach in 1939. "... in 1963 the volunteer fire brigade was able to take over the pump house from the community ...".

On June 18, 1971, the Aufenau volunteer fire department founded a youth fire department . The youth fire brigade repeatedly took first places at city championships in the 1990s. In 1997/1998, the active members of the association expanded the fire station themselves . Joint exercises with the Wächtersbach, Wittgenborn, Waldensberg and Leisenwald fire departments take place several times a year.

Kneipp facility

For some years now, Aufenau has had the possibility of using hydrotherapeutic treatments with a publicly accessible Kneipp facility . The facility is very popular from spring to the frosty season and also attracts visitors from outside. The water supply of the facility is of course provided by the existing spring water from Eberborn above Aufenau . The city of Wächtersbach has given the maintenance of the facility to the Kneippverein Eberborn e. V. transferred.

tourism

Aufenau is a state-approved resort . In addition to a hotel and several guest houses, the place has a number of privately offered guest rooms and thus offers the discerning as well as the price-conscious guest pleasant accommodation options. Accommodation in Aufenau is very popular with spa guests and wellness guests due to its proximity to the spa towns of Bad Orb and Bad Soden-Salmünster with their spa facilities. Aufenau also has its own Kneipp facility for cold water applications and is conveniently located for long hikes and has Nordic walking trails of various levels of difficulty. The national long-distance cycle route R3 is only a few hundred meters away from Aufenau , and the entire Kinzig Valley can be traveled on it. The Vogelsberger Südbahnradweg also leads past Aufenau. Furthermore, circular hiking trails in the Spessart Nature Park and the donkey trail, which is very popular with mountain bikers, are easy to reach. The lower Vogelsberg also invites you to go on bike tours. During the Kinzigtal total event, Aufenau is transformed into a party mile where various clubs offer events. Every year around 250,000 visitors visit this largest street festival in Hesse. Thanks to its central location between the start of the route at the Kinzig spring in Sterbfritz and the Kinzig estuary in Hanau , Aufenau is the ideal starting point for tours in both directions. Links to the annual event below in the link area.

Commercial and industrial

Specialist trade, light industry, craft and service providers are located in Aufenau. The trade in motor vehicles is particularly well represented. Due to the pull of the neighboring community of Wächtersbach, the retail trade was difficult to establish, but Aufenau is still known for the good facilities at specialist retailers from gardening supplies to industrial technology.

Aufenau has had an attractive commercial area on the outskirts since 1995 that attracts smaller companies. The city of Wächtersbach provided attractive land here, where trade and light industry can set up.

With the department store Zöller, Aufenau has one of the last classic colonial and general goods dealers of the early 20th century, which is still in operation today in almost unchanged form. The retailer with family tradition has an eventful history behind it.

Agriculture

Agriculture, which shaped the town until the 1960s, experienced a radical change after the regional reform. Today a few full-time farms in the areas of pig fattening, suckler cow husbandry and milk production serve the regional market. The majority of the strongly represented agriculture are subsistence farms and hobbyists. Due to the difficult topological conditions, the denomination of the acquisition areas and the small size, a cost-covering cultivation of the areas is difficult, especially oilseeds and grains of high quality are difficult to grow. In particular, the soils on the slopes of the Spessart are difficult to cultivate due to the weathered red sandstone. The management of short rotation plantations on retention areas and the cultivation of miscanthus and afforestation for the production of bioenergy could in future supplement the currently predominant production of green fodder. For this purpose, a private operating company will build a corresponding biomass cogeneration plant in Wächtersbach in the near future.

traffic

Streets

Aufenau is located on the former federal road 40 (today state road L 3216) and connects Bad Orb with the Kinzig valley directly via county road 887 . Located between the Bad Orb / Wächtersbach and Bad Soden-Salmünster junctions, the nearby A 66 can be reached very quickly to the west at the Eiserne Hand junction or to the east in Bad Soden-Salmünster. The A 66 connects Frankfurt with Fulda and, through its connection to the A 7, represents the most important traffic connection in the Rhine-Main area with East and Northeast Hesse as well as Thuringia and Bavaria .

Bike paths

Aufenau is on the Hessian long -distance cycle route R3 , the Rhein-Main-Kinzig-Radweg , which leads across Hesse, from Rüdesheim via Eltville (with 2 variants), on via Frankfurt and Gelnhausen to Fulda. Aufenau is also connected to the Vogelsberger Südbahnradweg .

Personalities

Personalities associated with Aufenau

  • Johann Forstmeister von Gelnhausen , received the fiefdom of Aufenau in 1365, with Neudorf, Hain near Wächtersbach and Kinzighausen. The von Gelnhausen forester family remained in the possession of Aufenau until 1782.
  • Louis Prinz (1835–1904), Wächtersbacher merchant , acquired the cheese dairy in Aufenau, which was formerly founded by Nikolaus Adnot. He expanded it and at the turn of the century, with up to 30 employees and a large range of quality soft cheeses, brought it to great bloom, with many national and international prices. He also expanded the business with a subsidiary in Bad Soden Salmünster and a dairy in Heinrichsthal near Radeberg in Saxony , today's Heinrichsthaler Milchwerke .
  • Ludwig Nüdling (1874–1947) the Catholic priest and local poet worked from 1907 to 1919 as a pastor in Aufenau. This time was a particularly fruitful period in Nüdling's poetic and literary work. His The Sacrifice of Abraham was staged by Pastor Alfons Lins in neighboring Bad Orb and performed several times. A Nüdlingstraße in the village and the Nüdling Museum, in the old rectory of the Catholic community, are a reminder of him.

Trivia

  • The main street is divided into two sections: Leipziger Straße begins in the center of the village, behind the church and runs eastwards, while Frankfurter Straße, also starting at the church, runs westwards. Due to this fact, one speaks of the so-called "Unterdorf" (the area of ​​Frankfurter Strasse) and the "Oberdorf" (the area of ​​Leipziger Strasse). In the past, there were always smaller taunts between the two halves of the village.
  • During the regional reform, Aufenau had to give up its status as an independent municipality. At that time an attempt was made to become a district of Bad Orb, but this was sniffly rejected by the Orber mayor. It was only very reluctantly that they were incorporated into Wächtersbach and even today Aufenau is inferior to the other parts of the city. Despite the high population, Aufenau z. B. neither through a general practitioner nor through a pharmacy.
  • On the Aufenauer Berg , over which the A66 runs, in the forest near Bad Orb, the historical border to Kurmainz can be made out in the form of boundary stones. The north-western border of the Kingdom of Bavaria ran here until 1866 . The "Orber Grenzsteinweg" , a designated hiking trail, leads along this former rule border , which today (invisibly) separates the districts of Bad Orb and Wächtersbach.
