history
Parishes and parishes
Historically, the deanery area belonged mainly to the Archbishopric of Mainz and is therefore strongly Catholic. In this almost closed territory, however, there were also Protestant islands in the peripheral areas, due to other sovereigns. These include the now Bavarian part of the former Grafschaft Wertheim of the Princes Löwenstein with the communities of Kreuzwertheim , Michelrieth and Schollbrunn . It is remarkable that the Steinmark parish became Protestant during the Counter Reformation. The community of Röttbach was between the two evangelical villages Michelrieth and Kreuzwertheim and was pledged to the Counts of Wertheim and thus became evangelical. Since Röttbach belonged to the Mainz monastery, the community was successfully brought back to the Catholic faith. By order of Count Wolf Ernst zu Löwenstein, Steinmark became Protestant on February 21, 1617. The property of the Counts of Erbach , which came from the Rieneck inheritance, with the communities of Kleinheubach , Eschau and Hofstetten can also look back on Protestant traditions that go back to the time of the Reformation. The former abbey church in Amorbach became the Protestant court church of the princes of Leiningen in 1803 .
Aschaffenburg was founded in 1830 as a daughter church of Billingshausen and was raised to an independent parish on April 7, 1839. In 1949 the parish of Obernburg was established. Erlenbach , Goldbach and Schöllkrippen followed in 1952 and Kahl am Main in 1956 .
Dean's office
In the Grand Duchy of Frankfurt , an inspection was established in Kreuzwertheim in 1812 with the parishes of Aufenau, Eschau, Hasloch, Kreuzwertheim, Michelrieth, Mittelinn and Partenstein. From 1814 a Bavarian deanery continued to run the parishes. Afterwards there were numerous restructuring with the exchange of parishes of neighboring deaneries. In 1859/61, after its establishment, the Amorbach parish was added, Miltenberg in 1922 , Alzenau in 1928 and Hofstetten in 1929 as an independent parish. On December 18, 1884, Eschau von Würzburg was added. The Aschaffenburg dean's office was created in 1933 by changing its name from the then dean Kreuzwertheim. The associated parishes were Aschaffenburg, Alzenau, Amorbach, Hasloch, Hofstetten, Kleinheubach, Kreuzwertheim, Michelrieth and Miltenberg.
