middle Ages
The oldest surviving mention of Großwelzheim can be found in the Lorsch Codex in a document from the year 772, which records a donation to the Lorsch Monastery . Another donation dates from the year 786. However, no distinction has yet been made between Groß- and Klein-Welzheim . At that time the place was called Walinesheim .
Großwelzheim belonged to the Hörstein 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. Großwelzheim remained Roman Catholic .
When Count Johann Reinhard III. The last male representative of the House of Hanau died in 1736, the Landgrave of Hesse-Kassel was the heir to the County of Hanau-Munzenberg on the basis of an inheritance contract . Whether the legacy extended to Hanau's share in the condominium was hotly debated in the years that followed 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 contract to be implemented. Großwelzheim fell to Kurmainz.
The Reichsdeputationshauptschluss of 1803 struck the Hörstein court of the Landgraviate of Hesse-Darmstadt , which only kept it for 13 years. In 1816 the Grand Duchy ceded the office to the Kingdom of Bavaria . Großwelzheim has been Bavarian since then.
The community of Großwelzheim belonged to the Alzenau district office , which was formed on July 1, 1862. On January 1, 1939, this became part of the Alzenau district in Lower Franconia . With its dissolution, Großwelzheim came to the newly formed district of Aschaffenburg on July 1, 1972 .
On July 1, 1975, Großwelzheim was combined with Dettingen am Main to form the new municipality of Karlstein am Main as part of the regional reform in Bavaria .
Nuclear facilities
On November 13, 1960, the Kahl nuclear power plant , which is entirely within the Großwelzheimer district, was the first German nuclear power plant to go into operation; the neighboring community of Kahl am Main was only the inspiration for the name. The plant was shut down on November 25, 1985 - after 25 years of operation. The dismantling began in 1988 and was only completed in 2010 - also after 25 years. The Großwelzheim superheated steam reactor , which had been completely dismantled since 1998 , the Dettingen combined oil / coal power plant , and the Karlstein research reactor with two smaller research reactors were also located on the same site . The close connection between the community and the nuclear facilities found expression in the atomic symbol in the community coat of arms .
