history
Frickenhausen was first mentioned in a document around the year 800. The place belonged partly to the monastery office Wechterswinkel and to the office Mellrichstadt . The mayor was provided by the Wechterswinkel monastery and the history of the place is closely linked to the monastery. A sign of this is the so-called “nuns path”, which is now a popular hiking trail between the two places. On the mountain cone Bilstein, which lies north of Frickenhausen, there was once a castle with two moats, the remains of which can still be found today. The castle belonged to the Counts of Henneberg and the Counts of Bilstein . In 1954 a Marienkapelle was built on the Bilstein .
In 1803 Frickenhausen was secularized in favor of Bavaria . In the Peace of Pressburg in 1805 the place was given to Archduke Ferdinand of Tuscany to form the Grand Duchy of Würzburg , with which it finally fell to Bavaria in 1814 . In the course of the administrative reforms in Bavaria, today's municipality was created with the municipal edict of 1818 . From 1817 the place belonged to the Lower Main District , which was renamed Lower Franconia and Aschaffenburg (later just Lower Franconia) in 1838 .
On January 1, 1972, Frickenhausen was incorporated into the city of Mellrichstadt.
