About this picture

The district of Miltenberg is a district in the west of the Bavarian administrative district of Lower Franconia in the Bavarian Lower Main region .

geography

location

The Miltenberg district has a share of the Odenwald in the south and west and the Spessart in the northeast . Both low mountain ranges determine almost the entire district area and are separated by the main valley . The Main reaches the district east of Faulbach , where it forms the border with Baden-Württemberg as far as Freudenberg or Kirschfurt . To the west of Freudenberg, the Main flows directly into the district area to the west, turns north at Miltenberg and leaves the district north of Niedernberg and Sulzbach in the direction of Aschaffenburg . The landscape on the Main is called the Lower Main Plain.

The highest elevations within the district in the Spessart are in the Altenbucher Forst the Querberg with 567 meters, the neighboring goiterbill with 550 meters and the Agneshöhe with 513 meters in the district of Eschau , near the district border to Aschaffenburg, not far from the Geishöhe . The Pfaffenberg , 432 meters, with its transmitter (municipality of Bessenbach ), forms the direct border to the neighboring district of Aschaffenburg. The city of Aschaffenburg has around 480 hectares of forest with the well-known Hohe-Wart-Haus as an area outside the Brandenburg region .

The highest point in the Odenwald district is Der Kolli bei Kirchzell -Breitbach, which at 547 meters forms the border with the state of Baden-Württemberg . About 500 meters to the west, a 1.3 meter high boundary stone has marked the triangle where the borders of Baden , Bavaria and Hesse meet since 1837 . A good 4 kilometers north is the town of Breitenbuch , which represents the “roof of the Miltenberg district”, because at 512 meters above sea level it is the highest town in the district.

All cities in the district - except Amorbach - are located in the Main Valley, which has developed into an industrial, traffic and commercial axis in today's district since the end of the 19th century.

Neighboring areas

The district borders clockwise in the north, starting with the district of Aschaffenburg , the independent city of Aschaffenburg and the district of Main-Spessart (all in Bavaria), the Main-Tauber and Neckar-Odenwald districts (both in Baden-Württemberg ) as well to the Odenwaldkreis and the Darmstadt-Dieburg district (both in Hesse ).

history

Regional courts

Before 1800, the area of ​​today's Miltenberg district belonged mainly to the ore monastery of Mainz . In 1803 the southern part came to the Principality of Leiningen , with which it was incorporated into the Grand Duchy of Baden in 1806. From 1810 this area belonged to the Grand Duchy of Hesse-Darmstadt and finally came to the Kingdom of Bavaria in 1816 . The northern part was part of the Principality of Aschaffenburg from 1803 and of the Grand Duchy of Frankfurt from 1810 and became part of Bavaria in 1814 . The Bavarian state then established the regional courts of Obernburg and Klingenberg . In the south of today's district there were the so-called power courts Miltenberg, Kleinheubach and Amorbach. All courts belonged to the Lower Main District , which was renamed Lower Franconia from 1838 . In 1848 the Miltenberg Regional Court was formed from the previous Miltenberg and Kleinheubach courts, and the Amorbach Regional Court from the regional court of the same name.

District Offices

Administrative area of ​​the Miltenberg district office around 1880

The Miltenberg district office was re-established in 1862 through the merger of the older district courts Amorbach and Miltenberg. Likewise, the regional courts of Klingenberg am Main and Obernburg am Main have been merged to form the Obernburg am Main district office.

On the occasion of the reform of the layout of the Bavarian district offices, the Miltenberg district office received the municipality of Großheubach from the Obernburg district office on January 1, 1880 .

On April 1, 1931, the Marktheidenfeld district office handed over the communities of Fechenbach and Reistenhausen to the Miltenberg district office.

Counties

On January 1, 1939, the designation district was introduced as everywhere else in the German Reich . The district offices became the Miltenberg and Obernburg am Main districts.

Miltenberg district

As part of the regional reform in Bavaria , the district of Obernburg am Main became a new district on July 1, 1972 without the places Wenigumstadt and Pflaumheim, which are now districts of Großostheim , district of Aschaffenburg , with the district of Miltenberg and the Stadtprozelten area of the previous district of Marktheidenfeld Miltenberg united.

coat of arms

Blazon
“Under the shield head with the Bavarian diamonds in red, a silver wave pole; in front of it a six-spoke silver wheel; behind three silver tips ”.
History of the coat of arms
By merging the districts of Miltenberg and Obernburg am Main, today's district of Miltenberg was created. Until secularization, the district area belonged for the most part to the Electorate of Mainz, which is indicated by the “ Mainz wheel ” in the coat of arms. It was also part of the coats of arms of the old districts of Miltenberg (see above) and Obernburg. The vertical wave pole represents the geographical location of the district on the Main. The river runs in the district from east to north. The silver tips in red (the " Franconian rake ") indicate that it belongs to Franconia . The diamonds stand for Bavaria.
The coat of arms was awarded on May 25, 1977.

Old district coat of arms from 1963–1977

Old county coat of arms

Blazon
"Divided by a horizontal silver wave bar, above a silver six-spoke wheel in red, below in green symbolized tools in silver"
History of the coat of arms
The old coat of arms consists of a combination of the river Main (the silver wave beam), the wheel from the coat of arms of the Electorate of Mainz and some hand tools from the stonemasonry profession . The district extends along the course of the Main and the main industries at the time the coat of arms was valid were sandstone processing, agriculture and forestry and forest use. Agriculture and forestry are represented by the color green in the lower part of the coat of arms. A large part of the district used to belong to the Kurstaat Mainz, such as the offices of Miltenberg, Amorbach, Klingenberg and Großheubach.
The coat of arms was awarded on October 2, 1963.

Economy and Infrastructure

Several well-known companies have their headquarters in the Miltenberg district, including WIKA , Gries Deco Holding , Reis Robotics , Cordenka , Daniel Hechter Paris . In 2017 the company Oswald Elektromotoren in Miltenberg received the German Environment Prize. Thanks to the ICO at Erlenbach, Alcon in Großwallstadt and Mikrotechnik in Bürgstadt, the Miltenberg district is one of the most important chemical locations in Bavaria. Due to the historical and economic ties, the Miltenberg district, together with the city and district of Aschaffenburg, is the Bavarian part of the Frankfurt-Rhine-Main metropolitan region.

The localities on the Main (plus Großostheim in the Aschaffenburg district ) have come together as an association for the purpose of joint economic and tourism promotion under the umbrella term "Churfranken" . These places and many of their businesses are marketed jointly under this non-historical concept of art. The umbrella brands Spessart-Mainland and Odenwald are responsible for destination marketing.

traffic

In 1876 ​​the Bavarian State Railways first built a line from Aschaffenburg up the Main via Obernburg - Klingenberg to Miltenberg. In 1880 this was extended into the Odenwald as far as Amorbach and in 1899 continued to the pilgrimage site of Walldürn in Baden. Railway construction in the Main Valley reached Stadtprozelten in 1906 and the Baden town of Wertheim in 1912. Railway traffic has been operated by the DB company Westfrankenbahn since 2005 . In response to a position paper from the Miltenberg District Assembly in July 2017, the Bavarian Railway Company wrote to District Administrator Scherf at the beginning of September 2017 that the aim was to electrify the railway line from Miltenberg to Aschaffenburg.

A branch line ran for 16.8 kilometers, since January 1910, from Obernburg-Elsenfeld station through the Elsava valley into the Spessart to Heimbuchenthal. Passenger traffic on the Obernburg-Elsenfeld-Heimbuchenthal railway was stopped in May 1968.

From 1911/12 the Aschaffenburg - Höchst railway line (in the Odenwald) passed through Mömlingen (Obernburg district), which had a train station on this railway line. In 1974 this line was discontinued.

The main traffic artery of the district is the B 469 , which connects the district to the Rhine-Main area as a feeder road to the A 3 . Other federal highways that run through the district are the B 47 and the B 426 .

As a link between the Rhine and Danube rivers, the Main is important for European inland shipping .

A Main ferry connects Stadtprozelten with the Baden Mondfeld . There is a bridge over the Main between Kirschfurt and the town of Freudenberg (Baden) . Other Main bridges within the district: Großheubach / Miltenberg North - Miltenberg / Bürgstadt, Miltenberg North - Miltenberg, Großheubach - Kleinheubach, Klingenberg - Klingenberg / Trennfurt , Elsenfeld - Obernburg, Kleinwallstadt / Sulzbach - Großwallstadt / Niedernberg.

In the Mainbullau district of Miltenberg there is an airfield for sport planes and gliders .

Renewable energy

2013 was in the county municipality Eichenbuhl a wind farm with five wind turbines of the type Nordex N117 / 2400 built. Each of the turbines has a nominal output of 2.4 MW, a hub height of 141 meters and a rotor diameter of 117 meters. As a result, they are designed as so-called low-wind systems especially for inland locations. The wind farm was partially financed through a special public participation fund. This is intended to maintain the added value of the plants in the region through the financial participation of local citizens and thus strengthen the local economy. A standard energy capacity of around 30 million kilowatt hours is calculated per year .

Population development

While the northern part (the former district of Obernburg) is still relatively urban (270 inhabitants per km²), the southern and eastern areas of the district (former district of Miltenberg and former areas of the district of Marktheidenfeld) are like the rest of the area, Main-Tauber- The district and the Main-Spessart district are very sparsely populated with around 115 inhabitants per km². This situation will worsen even further, since z. In Kirchzell, for example, the population is expected to decrease from 2200 to 1400 to 1500 by 2040, while in the north around Niedernberg / Großwallstadt / Mömlingen the losses from Leidersbach / Eschau / Mönchberg can be absorbed.

From 1988 to 2008 the Miltenberg district grew by over 14,000 inhabitants or around 12 percent. Since 2003 the trend has been declining after a high of approx. 131,500 inhabitants. In the period from 1988 to 2018, the population of the district rose from 115,526 to 128,756 by 13,230 inhabitants or by 11.5%.

The rich parish church lost more and more influence to its branch churches in Röllfeld and Klingenberg after the town was abandoned around 1630 . The church was demolished in 1778, the cemetery can still be recognized by the wall that was renovated in 1979.
