history

The Dörnsenbach on the upper reaches was not always just the border brook of the districts Hofstädten and Oberwestern. In 1810 he separated the historical areas of two earlier states in the Rhine Confederation . On the right side was the territory of the Grand Duchy of Hesse , to which the town of Hofstädten in the Alzenau district in the Starkenburg province belonged. On the left was the Grand Duchy of Frankfurt with the village of Oberwestern in the department of Aschaffenburg . There are also a number of historical boundary stones on this borderline along the stream.
