history

Until the founding of the forerunner churches

The "Schlossbuckel" belonging to Ebersbach and the Sulzbach district of Soden was already settled before the turn of the century, as the finds there show. The first systematic archaeological excavations carried out in 2008 and 2009, carried out by the Archaeological Spessart Project together with the Leidersbach community, the Sulzbach market and the local history associations, provide evidence of at least three-phase use of the Altenburg through finds and excavation evidence . Small finds support a use at the time of the Michelsberg culture , a dated wall-ditch system speaks for a use in Celtic times and a built-over second wall (which is still visible today) is placed via indirect conclusions in the time before the 12th century . Substantial parts were destroyed or reshaped through quarries and other uses in the 19th and 20th centuries. The complex is now designated as a ground monument .

The origins of the places themselves took place in the Middle Ages : Based on comparisons with other places with the same origin of the place names, it can be concluded that the communities Ebersbach, Leidersbach and Roßbach , which end with brook , were probably created in the Carolingian period at the end of the 8th century. Ebersbach was first mentioned in a document from 1183, Leidersbach and Roßbach from 1200 and Volkersbrunn from 1248.

Already at this time the villages belonged to the Archbishopric Mainz ( Vizedomamt Aschaffenburg ). When the archbishopric was dissolved by the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss 1803, the villages fell to the newly formed Principality of Aschaffenburg , with which they were annexed to Bavaria in 1814 . In the course of the administrative reforms in Bavaria, the precursor communities of today's Leidersbach emerged with the community edict of 1818 .

Administrative history

In 1862 the district office of Obernburg was formed, on whose administrative area Leidersbach was located. As everywhere in the German Reich , the term district was introduced in 1939. Leidersbach was then one of the 35 communities in the district of Obernburg am Main . With the dissolution of the district of Obernburg, Leidersbach came to the newly formed district of Miltenberg on July 1, 1972 .

Religions

The community of Leidersbach is predominantly Roman Catholic. Each district has its own Catholic church.

Incorporations

On January 1, 1972, the previously independent communities of Leidersbach, Ebersbach, Roßbach and Volkersbrunn were merged to form the new unitary community of Leidersbach.

Oddities

Long before home tailoring came to the “Grund” (Sacco Valley), the people of Leidersbach tried to use broom bindings . In the long winter months, when the field work stopped, brooms were tied and baskets were woven, which were then sold in the surrounding towns and cities. In the valley, in which there were many fruit trees, the harvest (apple, pear, plum) was pitted, cut, strung on strings and hung under the eaves to dry. In autumn there was a smell of fresh apple cider in the whole valley, because in almost every cellar the cider matured in barrels to make cider. The dried fruit " Hutzel " was eaten with potatoes and pastries, but it was also sold in the Frankfurt area. So it came to the local name Hutzel founder and Besenbinder .
