history

In the 15th century, the Electors of Mainz brought in the first glassmakers from Bohemia and Flanders . In 1636 the name of the master of a glassworks in this region appeared for the first time, Heinrich Fleckenstein from the glassworks in Wollersbuch. In 1639 another smelter was named, Jacob Fleckenstein . An account book from 1652 shows that Heinrich and Jacob were brothers. In 1664, the two place names Heinrichs Grundt andt Jacobs thael were mentioned for the first time as location names. Since the Jakobsthal glassworks mainly produced glass buttons , it was popularly known as the Knöpphütte . In 1648 the master glassmaker had this name registered.

As part of the Archbishopric of Mainz, Jakobsthal fell to the newly formed Principality of Aschaffenburg in the secularization of 1803, owned by the Prince Primate von Dalberg. After that, Jakobsthal was in the Rothenbuch district fair of the Aschaffenburg department in the Grand Duchy of Frankfurt. In 1812 it had 35 fireplaces and 203 residents.
