From the 10th century

Homburg was first mentioned towards the end of the 10th century under the name "Hohenburg". The city lay on the old high roads of the Middle Ages. The Handelsstrasse, later Poststrasse, connected Frankfurt am Main and Würzburg. Nobles and citizens received feudal estates from the castle. 1303 20 vassals were named in the feudal book who owned a castle property. In 1332 Emperor Ludwig granted city rights and a weekly market. In 1336 the citizen Gernot Irrmut, mayor of Wertheim , acquired a castle loan that lay between the chapel and Horand's apartment (it was sold again in 1402). In 1366, Bishop Albrecht sold the city to Emperor Charles IV , who again granted Homburg city ​​rights . The place belonged to the Bohemian Crown for 29 years . In 1395 Homburg came into the possession of the Würzburg Monastery , which the city gave as a fief to the Counts of Wertheim . Their fiefs were the lords of Hohenburg. Due to the proximity to the Ordensburg Henneburg near Prozelten, Collenburg and Wertheim in Bohemian fiefdom, the area came under the influence of the Teutonic Order. The Horand von Homburg were still at the castle in 1431. 1561–1568, the Homburg was replaced by the still existing half-timbered building under the owner of Gebsattel . In 1602, Prince-Bishop Julius was the real lord of Homburg, and in 1614 he had the tithe barn built. In 1831 the castle stood empty without being used. In 1869 the community bought it for social purposes. From 1900 it was completely renovated, in 1998 artists and a scientist moved there.

The Office of Homburg am Main was founded in the 15th century and became part of the Kingdom of Bavaria in 1802 and the Grand Duchy of Würzburg in 1806 . Homburg finally became Bavarian in 1815. In 1818, with the municipal edict, the municipality of Homburg am Main was established, which renounced its city rights and received market rights .

In the course of the regional reform in Bavaria on May 1, 1978, the Homburg am Main market was dissolved and merged with Lengfurt , Trennfeld and Rettersheim to form the Triefenstein market.
