history

Handbag with initials, bead crochet around 1920 from Daxberg

The first settlements are around 2000–800 BC. Proven by burial mounds in the Daxberg area. The place was first mentioned in documents around 1265 in the necrology of the St. Peter and Alexander monastery in Aschaffenburg as "Dasbach" (probably in the direction of Schimborn on the Daxberger Bach, now Weibersbach ), later in 1554 as "Daxbergk", and in 1594 as "Taxberg "And finally in 1625 as" Daxberg ".

In 1633 there were six teams (families) and five hearths in the village. After the Thirty Years' War around 1650 only one Henrich Thieterich lived. Around 1674 there were again four houses with their owners.

The oldest proven street name is the Fickertskluft named after the court inventory (court administrator) "Wolf Fickert" mentioned in the Daxberger missal around 1674 . Over the years this was converted into Vikarskluft and most recently in 1972 by the Mömbris market in Vikarstrasse.

Around 1700 the inhabitants lived from the sale of their agricultural products (butter, eggs, cheese and fruit), which they carried and sold on foot to the weekly market in Aschaffenburg. Bead crocheting and cigar making in homework and factories were added later until 1970.

The Daxberger Terrain, which had belonged to the Archbishopric and later Electorate of Mainz since 982 , became part of the newly formed Principality of Aschaffenburg under the Prince Primate von Dalberg after the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss 1803 . In 1814 it fell to Bavaria as the previous department of the Grand Duchy of Frankfurt .

The municipality of Daxberg belonged to the Alzenau district office , which was formed on July 1, 1862. On January 1, 1939, this became the Alzenau district in Lower Franconia .

On May 12, 1944, the crash of a Boeing B-17 "Flying Fortress" near the town was named as the effect of the Second World War . On Easter Monday, April 2, 1945, the American army occupied the place.

The formerly independent municipality was incorporated into the Mömbris market in the newly formed district of Aschaffenburg on January 1, 1972 as part of the regional reform in Bavaria .

The locals in the area were often called "Doxbejsch Plagge", although the term Plagge may be derived from Plage.

Population development

One can speak of a steadily growing population development. In 1946 refugees and bombed out were taken in until they moved away around 1950.
