The Klingbach was not always a purely Hessian brook. After the reorganization of the borders in this area as a result of the Congress of Vienna , it flowed partly on Bavarian soil from 1814 to 1868. From its source to the southeast of Salmünster , the Klingbach ran on what was then Bavarian territory. During this time he left the Kingdom of Bavaria ( District Office Gemünden am Main ) and reached the Electorate of Hesse (Office Salmünster). After the military defeat in the German War , Bavaria had to surrender the administrative area of ​​the old Orb district court to Hessen-Nassau .
