The place Gorxheim was first mentioned in 1486 in connection with a copper mine located there . Originally owned by the Lorsch Monastery , the lands were transferred to Kurmainz in 1232 , to the Electoral Palatinate in 1463 and back to Mainz in 1623. The jurisdiction and sovereign administration were exercised by the Abtsteinach district . In 1803 the valley came to the Landgraviate of Hesse-Darmstadt, which later became the Grand Duchy of Hesse . Here it belonged to the district of Lindenfels and later to the districts of Lindenfels and Heppenheim , which was renamed in 1938 to today's Bergstrasse district.
