history

The district consists of Hallburg Castle and an adjacent manor. The castle, which was first mentioned in the sources in 1230, was initially owned by the Lords of Castell . The building served the counts as a customs castle on the Main. With the Atonement Treaty of 1230, however, they had to cede the castle to the diocese of Würzburg. After several changes of ownership, the Zollner von der Hallburg received the area as a fief. They could hold it until the 17th century.

In 1634, the Counts of Stadion owned the castle and the district, followed by the Counts of Stauffenberg, who lived in the buildings until 1803. With the mediatization , the Counts of Schönborn became owners of the castle. From then on, the Hallburg district was co-administered from Gaibach, and the estate was created. The Hallburg was assigned with its district to the Volkach Regional Court , in 1955 it was separated from Gaibach and the first district to be added to Volkach.
