geography

The Kirchdorf Eichelsbach lies at 329  m above sea level. NN at Kreisstraße 26 (MIL 26) on a ridge between Hofstetten and Sommerau . Eichelsbach is directly connected to the Main Valley via a local road to Elsenfeld. The Franconian Marienweg leads through the Eichelsbacher corridor, with its field chapel, in which the Mother of God of Fatima ( Fátima in Portugal ) is venerated .

Surname

The name Eichelsbach is derived from the Eichelsbach stream of the same name , which flows into the Neuer Graben in Hofstetten.

history

Archaeological finds show that the region was already settled in the Neolithic period . The area around Eschau , Sommerau and Eichelsbach was settled more than 5000 years ago, as evidenced by ceramic (Bronze Age) grave finds northwest of Sommerau near Eichelsbach and in the Eschau district towards Mönchberg . From pre-Franconian times there was probably no continuous settlement. For the period around 1600–700 BC A relatively dense settlement can be documented by barrows near Eichelsbach.

The Spessart has an eventful history. At first it was an imperial forest and mainly served hunting. As a result, the Archbishops of Mainz were the sovereigns for many centuries . Only from the 12th and 13th centuries did they tolerate the settlement of the Spessart. The Spessart was always ruled from outside. It was ruled by the Archdiocese of Mainz (→ History of the Diocese of Mainz ), the Bishopric Würzburg and some smaller lordships, such as the Counts of Rieneck

In ancient times the village belonged to the Counts of Rieneck. In 1234, Count Ludwig II of Rieneck gave it, along with other properties, to the nearby Himmelthal Monastery . After the Jesuit order was abolished in 1773, the village of Eichelsbach became part of the ore monastery of Mainz.

Of great importance for the early history of Eichelsbach is the so-called Mainzer Koppelfutterverzeichnis (around / after 1250), a tax list for grazing rights granted by the rulers, which reflects the settlement conditions in the area in the middle of the 13th century. Eichelsbach is called "Egilsbach" there.

In 1862 the district office of Obernburg was formed, on whose administrative area Eichelsbach was located. As everywhere in the German Reich , the term district was introduced in 1939. Eichelsbach was now one of the 35 communities in the district of Obernburg am Main (license plate OBB ). On July 1, 1971, the previously independent municipality of Eichelsbach was incorporated into Elsenfeld. With the dissolution of the district of Obernburg, Eichelsbach came to the newly formed district of Miltenberg in 1972 (license plate number MIL ).

Culture

In Eichelsbach there is the sports club FC Eichelsbach , which was founded on June 1, 1955, the music club Widerhall Eichelsbach and a volunteer fire brigade. The Eichelsbach Fruit and Horticultural Association was founded on January 16, 1939 to build a fruit storage cellar for the Eichelsbach residents.
