history

Until the 19th century

Heimbuchenthal was first mentioned in a document in 1282. In 1495 the place was first mentioned as the seat of the court. The former Vogteiamt (until 1782) fell to the newly formed Principality of Aschaffenburg during the secularization and in 1810 to the Grand Duchy of Frankfurt .

Heimbuchenthal was there in 1812 as Mairie together with the Höllhammer, another iron hammer and the Heimath Höfe on the area of ​​the Districtsmairie Rothenbuch of the Aschaffenburg department and had 623 inhabitants. Maire was Lorenz Bachmann. His adjuncts were called Johann Kries and Johann Spieler. The salt factor was Andreas player. The schoolteacher's name was Adam Hornung, the pastor Laurenz Rudolf and the chaplain Johann Lammert. There was also a benefit in Mespelbrunn under Franz Freiherrn von Speth, which was administered by Peter Franz Hofmann. At the same time Heimbuchenthal, with the exception of the Höllhammer, the Höllenhof, the palace and the Jägerhaus Mespelbrunn, which belonged to the Graeflich Ingelheim Patrimonial Office Unterhausen, was part of the Rothenbuch District Bailiwick.

In 1814 Heimbuchenthal came to Bavaria with the Districtsmairie Rothenbuch and from October 1, 1814 was on the administrative territory of the second class (older) Rothenbuch regional court, from which the Aschaffenburg district office was formed on July 1, 1862 by merging with the older Aschaffenburg regional court .

20th century

In 1939, as everywhere in the German Reich, the designation district was introduced. Heimbuchenthal was now one of the 33 communities in the old district of Aschaffenburg . On July 1, 1972, this merged with the Alzenau district in Lower Franconia to form the new Aschaffenburg district.

In 1982, a big 700th anniversary celebration was celebrated, during which some tourist facilities were inaugurated.

coat of arms

Blazon : "A silver wave bar in red, above three silver beech leaves on crossed stems, below a silver cogwheel growing out of the lower edge of the shield." Coat of arms history: The beech leaves in the coat of arms refer to the geographical location in the Hochspessart and are a "talking" symbol for the place name. The wave bar symbolizes the location of the municipality in the Elsava valley. The combination of the corrugated beam with the gearwheel also points to the hammer mill operated in the Höllhammer district in the 18th and 19th centuries . The colors silver and red are the colors of the Electorate of Mainz , which ruled Heimbuchenthal until 1803. The Electoral Mainz office in the municipality comprised eight places and gave it a certain independence. Coat of arms since September 1981.

The Höllhammer located at the southern end of the district

The hamlet of Höllhammer with the former iron hammer is located about four kilometers south in the Elsava valley . Was first mentioned in the 13th century a castle Mulen , as well as the seat of a forester, a Forsthube . In 1535 the mansion had already collapsed and the Counts of Ingelheim , who already had their seat in the nearby Mespelbrunn Castle , had an estate built there, which was named Höllenhof after the nearby Höllschlucht gorge . The first iron hammer, driven by a mill, was built around 1700 and was named Höllhammer after the estate. The iron hammer, meanwhile taken over by Georg Ludwig Rexroth in 1795, was considered to be the “first and most efficient hammer mill” in the Principality of Aschaffenburg at the beginning of the 19th century . Around 1830 around 100 people lived on the Höllhammer and the specially built school was attended by up to 30 children. In 1829 the owner of the Höllhammer, Georg Ludwig Rexroth, manufactured and delivered the iron links of the Bamberg Chain Bridge. In 1851 the Hell Tower was torn down below Heimbuchenthal. Its stones were used to build the road through the Elsava valley. Production continued until 1891, after which the site was converted back into an estate. You can see the servant's house with the bell tower, the manor house and the school. The buildings are inhabited except for the blacksmiths. There is an old Rexroth family cemetery in the forest .
