Until the church is planted

Archaeological finds show that the region was already settled in the Neolithic period . The Wildenstein castle ruins and the moated castles of Sommerau and Oberaulenbach tell of a past steeped in history. Similar to the Rieneck capital Lohr am Main , Eschau was created as a planned extension of an existing settlement. Together with Wildenstein Castle and the Himmelthal Monastery founded by the Rieneckers in 1232 , Eschau formed the power base with the largest closed territory of the Counts of Rieneck in south-west Spessart. However, the Rieneckers did not succeed in expanding their territory during the disputes with the Archbishopric of Mainz between 1260 and 1271. Wildenstein Castle and Eschau remained an enclave in the Mainz area. In January 1271 the counts had to submit to the Archbishop of Mainz ( Kurmainz ) unconditionally at a meeting in Aschaffenburg . The market rights received Eschau under the Roman-German King Rudolf von Habsburg awarded with a certificate of 7 June 1285th The Wildenstein office was described in the last award document to the Rienecker in 1545 as follows: “the fortress Wildenstein, village Wildenstein, Heydebach this side of the Main (Kleinheubach) and Esche (Eschau) with tithes, church sentences etc .; the villages of Willensee (Wildensee), Hofstädten (Hofstetten); the hamlets of Heckbach (gone) and Ulnbach (Unteraulenbach) and the Zent zur Eiche half ”. Count Philip III died in 1559. von Rieneck as the last male member of his family. The brother-in-law of Philip III. von Rieneck, Count Georg I. von Erbach was now enfeoffed with the office of Wildenstein. Until the mediatization in 1806, the Counts of Erbach were the masters of Eschau.

The Himmelthal Monastery, a former Cistercian monastery, today part of the Elsenfeld market , was founded in 1232 by Count Ludwig II of Rieneck and his wife Adelheid von Henneberg. In 1568, the Archdiocese of Mainz abolished the extinct monastery and turned it into an archdiocese Kameralhof . This was given to the Jesuits in 1595 and given in 1626. With the abolition of the Jesuit order in 1773, the estate fell back to the Archbishopric of Mainz.

19th to 21st century

Until 1806, Eschau was the seat of the eponymous office of the Wildenstein rule of the Counts of Erbach .

In that year Eschau came to the Principality of Aschaffenburg of the Prince-Primate Karl Theodor von Dalberg as a result of mediatization and with this in 1810 to the Grand Duchy of Frankfurt .

From then on, Eschau was located in his department of Aschaffenburg and was the seat of the Districtsmairie Eschau, to which, after mediatization, the places Eschau, Hofstetten and Wildensee, as well as the baronial von Fechenbach possession Sommerau, belonged as Mairien. In 1812 the Mairie Eschau consisted of Eschau, Unteraulenbach and Wildensee and had 776 inhabitants with 117 fire places. Mayor and civil registrar was Johannes Haas. He was subordinate to three adjuncts : to Eschau Philipp Amend Junior, to Unteraulenbach Johann Ort and to Wildenstein Johann Wörth. The school teacher was then JJ Willenbücher.

In the autumn of 1813 Eschau fell to Austria and, as a result of the treaties of Paris, in the summer of 1814 to the Kingdom of Bavaria .

In the course of the administrative reforms in Bavaria, the municipal edict of 1818 created the independent municipalities of Eschau, Hobbach, Sommerau and Wildensee. There was a count in Eschau. von Erbach's lordship court until 1824 and again from 1841 to 1848. The last remnants of aristocratic jurisdiction were repealed in 1848.

In 1862 the district office of Obernburg was formed, on whose administrative area Eschau was located. As everywhere in the German Reich , the term district was introduced in 1939. Eschau was now one of the 35 communities in the district of Obernburg am Main . With the dissolution of the district of Obernburg, Eschau came to the newly formed district of Miltenberg on July 1, 1972 . With the commissioning of the Obernburg-Elsenfeld-Heimbuchenthal railway in January 1910, Eschau was connected to the Main Valley with the Eschau-Mönchberg train station and the Eschau-Sommerau stop .

During the First World War, 23 citizens of Eschau died on the battlefields of Europe.

During the Third Reich , four Jewish citizens, Gustav and Flora Wolf from Sommerau and Jendele Marx from Eschau, were deported and lost their lives in eastern Poland and in the Theresienstadt concentration camp . Lina Mosbacher from Eschau had moved to a Jewish retirement home in Frankfurt am Main in 1934; from there she was deported to Theresienstadt and murdered in Treblinka. Since May 28, 2015, a memorial plaque on the historic town hall has been commemorating the victims of the Nazi dictatorship. Other Jewish citizens had moved to other places and were able to save some of their lives by emigrating.

The Sommerau master tailor Adam Englert (born December 16, 1876), his wife Marcelle, née Tauty, was French, and was arrested. He was sent to the Dachau concentration camp on suspicion of espionage and a few days later to the Mauthausen concentration camp (Austria), prisoner number 725; there he was murdered on September 8, 1941. A memorial plaque from the Sommerau gymnastics and sports club on the cemetery in Sommerau next to the war memorial has been commemorating Adam Englert, who was a founding member in 1919, later chairman and then honorary member of the Sommerau gymnastics club for two years.

Religions

The district of Eschau with its hamlets Wildenstein and Unteraulenbach as well as the district of Wildensee are predominantly members of the Evangelical Lutheran denomination. In the district of Eschau is the seat of the Protestant rectory and the pastor.

Foundation of the parish of Eschau: Like Erlenbach, Eschau broke away from its ecclesiastical dependency on Wörth and Kleinwallstadt around 1180 and they formed their own parishes. At this time one can assume a first church. The oldest part of today's church (from pre-Reformation times) is the Gothic choir with the sacristy from 1476. In May 1744 the old nave of the church was demolished and replaced by a new one. The inauguration was on January 6, 1745.

Around the middle of the 16th century, the Counts of Rieneck joined the Reformation, and thus the population of the county became Protestant, as was customary at the time. Up until that time there was a neighboring Catholic parish in Eschau. Immediately before the Counts joined the Reformation or brought their subjects to the Reformation, there was a time when the Catholics of Sommerau were looked after by the Catholic Eschau pastor Johannes Geyer.

The residents of Sommerau with Oberaulenbach and Hobbach mostly belong to the Roman Catholic denomination. In the district of Sommerau is the seat of the Catholic rectory and the pastor.

Probably in 1330 the noble lords of Fechenbach founded their own parish in Sommerau , to which the branches Eichelsbach, Kinzbach and Hobbach belonged. The Synod of Kleinwallstadt around 1333 sealed the final separation from the mother parish Kleinwallstadt. Not only the time of construction of the first church, which supposedly existed as early as 1379, is in the dark. It is also unclear whether and where there was a church at all before the construction of the current old church at the cemetery in Sommerau. In any case, according to various sources, the old church dates back at least partially to the 14th century and could not only have been the “castle chapel” but also the first church that existed in 1379. The core of the nave is Gothic (14th century), while the ribbed vaulted choir is from the 15th-16th centuries. Century. On the west gable, clearly recognizable, an increase in the roof, probably made in 1733, to the height of the choir can be seen. Around 1900, under Ernst Ankenbrand, pastor from December 1898 to April 1902, and then under Nikolaus Schnall (1872–1948), pastor from June 1902 to May 1920, the plans to expand the old church began, but later in favor of a new building was abandoned. The new church building was decided in 1910 by the church administration under Pastor Nikolaus Schnall and planned in 1911 by architect Ludwig Becker from Mainz; he was already involved in planning the expansion of the old church. The master builder was August Schnatz (1872–1973) from Obernburg am Main. At the beginning of the First World War (1914–1918) construction was stopped in August 1914 and was not finished until the beginning of the 1920s. The inauguration by the Bamberg Auxiliary Bishop Adam Senger was on May 6th, 1923. Both the old and the new parish church are consecrated to St. Lawrence.
