The village of Frohnhofen , sometimes also Fronhofen , is part of the Mömbris market in the Aschaffenburg district in Bavaria ( Lower Franconia ).

geography

Frohnhofen is to the left of the river Kahl in the middle Kahlgrund between Strötzbach and Mömbris, below the Bauersberg . It has grown together structurally with both places. On the opposite side of the valley is the Mensengesäß .

Surname

The name Frohnhofen consists of the Middle High German words frô , which means lord and hof . Loosely translated it means manor house . The same root of the name is also in the nearby Frohnbügel .

history

middle Ages

In the Middle Ages , Frohnhofen belonged to the Mömbris court , which in turn was part of the Alzenau free court . The free court was directly imperial , but the empire pledged or lent the area again and again. So the rulers changed, including the lords and later counts of Hanau , the lords of Randenburg and the lords of Eppstein .

Modern times

In 1500 , the Roman-German King Maximilian I enfeoffed the Archbishop of Mainz and the Count of Hanau-Munzenberg together with the Freigericht, which they now administered as a condominium . Since ecclesiastical jurisdiction remained with the Archbishops of Mainz at the time of the condominium , the Reformation - in contrast to the County of Hanau-Münzenberg - could not prevail here. Frohnhofen remained Roman Catholic .

In 1609 Frohnhofen was owned by the noble Echter von Mespelbrunn family as an after fief . Frohnhofen passed from them to the Counts of Ingelheim in 1686 .

With Count Johann Reinhard III. the last male representative of the Hanau family died in 1736. The Landgrave of Hesse-Kassel was the heir of the Hanau-Münzenberg part of the state by virtue of a treaty . Whether his legacy also extended to Hanau's share in the condominium was heavily disputed in the following years between Kurmainz and Hessen-Kassel. The dispute ended in a compromise, the "party recession" of 1740, which provided for a real division of the condominium. However, it took until 1748 for the treaty to be implemented. Frohnhofen thereby fell to Kurmainz.

In 1761 Frohnhofen became its own district (today it is completely within the Mömbris district) and was divided into a number of corridors:

  • Wiesenborn
  • small forest
  • Strötzbacher Won
  • Lower ground
  • Mühlberg ( on the Kahl where the mill is )
  • On the island
  • On Karlesberger Weg
  • Fund raised
  • Upper ground

The Reichsdeputationshauptschluss of 1803 struck Frohnhofen to the Landgraviate of Hessen-Darmstadt , which however only kept it for 13 years. In 1816 the now Grand Duchy of Hesse ceded the office to the Kingdom of Bavaria . Frohnhofen has been Bavarian since then.

Over the years, the village has grown together structurally with Strötzbach and Mömbris. Frohnhofen is not a separate part of the municipality. The inhabitants are included in both Strötzbach and Mömbris. The place name Strötzbach was on the place name sign at the Kahltalzentrum until 2013; it has been replaced by one labeled Markt Mömbris.
