History and economy

The village of Habichsthal emerged from the founding of a glassworks in the late Middle Ages. The place was first mentioned by name in the founding deed of the parish Wiesthal from 1477 next to the villages Breydenstein ( Neuhütten ), Heygerbruch ( Heigenbrücken ) and Wiesthal.

As a parish founded preceded by a long development, it is very likely that it is in the four places mentioned above to the four kurmainzischen Spessart acted glass works that already in 1339 in Spessarter forester Weistum were called and of which 1,432 in kind as long ago as hut interest demands became, which indicates agriculture and thus settlement activity. The last private glassworks in the Habichsthal district was given up around 1720 by order of the Mainz electors.

Up until this time the glassmaking trade was the main source of income for the Habichsthal people. After the private huts were closed, the now growing population had to subsist on agriculture alone. The barren soil brought little income and so there was poverty in the remote Spessart village. In 1801, 23 houses and 21 barns fell victim to a major fire, well over half of the village, which made the misery even worse.

The opening of the Wiesthal railway station at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries did not improve, which made it possible to commute to Lohr , Aschaffenburg or Frankfurt .

In the 1970s and 1980s Habichsthal developed into a tourist destination. Initially mainly members of the miners' union from the Ruhr area , later people from all parts of Germany came and come to relax in numerous guest houses and private pensions with far more than 150 beds, which still characterizes the place today.

In 1862 the district office of Aschaffenburg was formed, on whose administrative area Habichsthal was located. However, on January 1, 1880, Habichsthal came to the Lohr am Main district office on the occasion of the reform of the layout of the Bavarian district offices . As everywhere in the German Reich , the term district was introduced in 1939. Habichsthal was now one of the 26 communities in the Lohr am Main district (license plate LOH ). With the dissolution of the Lohr district, Habichsthal came to the newly formed Main-Spessart district in 1972 (license plate KAR , MSP from 1979 ).

On January 1, 1975 Habichsthal was incorporated into the Frammersbach market.
