history
The real history of Hofstädt begins with the settlement of the Kahlgrund by the Franks around 700 to 800 AD. The oldest visible signs are two (Irish / Scottish) stone crosses at the crossroads between Hofstädten and Omersbach (between them a wayside shrine from 1607).
In the Middle Ages and in the early modern period, Hofstädten belonged to the Seligenstadt Monastery , which in turn was subordinate to Kurmainz . In 1802, troops of the Landgraviate of Hessen-Darmstadt occupied the monastery, and on April 1, 1803, with the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss , it officially fell to Hessen-Darmstadt. Hofstädten belonged to the Landgraviate for the following years and from 1806 to the Grand Duchy of Hesse . On January 30, 1816, the Grand Duchy and the Kingdom of Bavaria signed a treaty that agreed to the exchange of a number of territories: Hofstädten came to Bavaria.
The municipality of Hofstädten 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, Hofstädten came to the newly formed district of Aschaffenburg on July 1, 1972 .
