history
History of the city of Freudenberg
middle Ages
In 1159, Freudenberg was first mentioned in a document as Lüllenseit . Between 1160 and 1200 the prince-bishopric of Würzburg , to which the place belongs, built Frouwedenberch Castle , the name of which is carried over to the settlement. In 1287, Freudenberg was first mentioned in a document as a city ( castrum et civitas = castle and city ). On September 9, 1295, the Würzburg prince-bishop confirmed the enfeoffment of the castle and town to the Count of Wertheim . In 1333, Emperor Ludwig the Bavarian granted Gelnhausen town charter to Wertheim. This is linked to the right to hold a weekly market and to carry out the lower jurisdiction itself. In 1362 the city was also granted customs rights by Emperor Charles IV . Fourteen years later, the city was given high jurisdiction by the emperor. Ecclesiastically, Freudenberg belonged to the diocese of Mainz at that time , but secularly to the Würzburg monastery . In 1423 the city became the seat of the Freudenberg Office , which, in addition to the city itself, also included Ebenheid, Boxtal and two courtyards.
Modern times
After the death of the last Count of Wertheim in 1556, the fiefdom reverted to the Duchy of Würzburg. After the Counts of Stolberg were initially entrusted, the town and castle passed to the Löwenstein-Wertheim rulership in 1581 . At the turn of the 17th century, the witch hunt also hit Freudenberg: 150 residents of the city were burned as witches and wizards by 1632. In 1612 the city reverted to the Prince Diocese of Würzburg . It was in the Frankish Reichskreis .
As part of the mediatization , Freudenberg came to the County of Löwenstein-Wertheim-Freudenberg in 1803 . But as early as 1806 the city became Baden with the Rhine Federation Act. Initially still belonging to the lordly office of Löwenstein-Wertheim-Freudenberg , with its dissolution in 1813 the city came to the office of Wertheim , which was opened up in 1938 in the Tauberbischofsheim district . The district reform in 1973 will eventually lead to membership of the new Tauber district , which since 1974 Main-Tauber-Kreis is. 1935 Freudenberg loses the city charter , which is the place in 1956 awarded again. In 1938, the synagogue was destroyed during the Night of the Reichspogrom , with the parish clerk Anton Beck hiding the Torah scroll on the town hall granary. During the Second World War , the first Main Bridge and the iron footbridge at the lock were destroyed by German soldiers on the night from Good Friday to Holy Saturday 1945. The second Main Bridge was built in 1950. Freudenberg has been a state-approved resort since 1968.

Freudenberg's districts and their history
 |
BoxtalBoxtal was first mentioned in 1181 as Bockeshol. In 1396 half of Boxtal was sold by the Lords of Riedern to the Counts of Wertheim . Since 1423 the village belonged to the Freudenberg office. In 1612 it fell with the entire office to the Prince Diocese of Würzburg and from then on shared the political and ecclesiastical fate of Freudenberg. In 1925 the Tremhof district was incorporated. One of the main attractions in Boxtal is probably the oldest German Lourdes Chapel - donated by Pastor Lorenz Englert. The chapel was consecrated on July 26, 1885. |
|
EbenheidEbenheid was first mentioned in a document in 1294 as Ebenothe. Since 1317 the Teutonic Order was the landlord; since 1423 the village belonged to the Freudenberg office. From 1545 the Counts of Wertheim were masters of Ebenheid. In 1612 the place fell to the Prince Diocese of Würzburg , with which it shared the history of Freudenberg from now on. |
 |
RauenbergIt is assumed that the hamlet of Wineden ("land won by clearing"), which was first mentioned in 1214, was the sub-settlement of the present-day town. Initially under various nobles (such as Konrad von Dürn and the Schenken von Prozelten), part of Wineden came into the hands of the Rüdt zu Collenberg (lords of the von Dürn family), namely the German master Konrad ( German Order ). This gave his brother Eberhard Rüdt von Collenberg on January 3, 1379 the village of Ruhenberg . At that time it was customary to dissolve or rename localities. In the 15th century Kurmainz took over the rule of Rauenberg, but it was still administered by the Rüdt as a fief. Also as Rauenberg since 15./16. Century had its own court and mayor, the Rüdt still signed as village lords. In 1576 Rauenberg belonged to the Miltenberg office and had twelve households. In 1635 Kurmainz moved into the fiefdom, as the male line of the Rüdt became extinct, and Rauenberg was subordinated to the Oberamt Miltenberg , from 1803 to the Amt Freudenberg. In 1813 the Freudenberg Office was dissolved and subordinated to the Wertheim Office, and thus Rauenberg was Baden for the first time. In 1925 the Dürrhof was incorporated. In 1936 Rauenberg was assigned to the Tauberbischofsheim district. In 1972 Rauenberg lost its independence and was merged with the city of Freudenberg. The landscape painter Franz Bronstert lived and worked partly in Rauenberg. |

WessentalIn a document dated December 28, 1309, Wessental was first mentioned as Wezingenthal ( Valley of Wezicco ). |
