Mümling-Grumbach is a district of Hochst in southern Hesse Odenwaldkreis with a population of 1,300.
history
The earliest mention of the place name Crumbach can be found in a document from 1305. On September 29th of the same year Otto von Crumbach and his sons Heinrich and Arreus and their heirs sold their bailiwick in the village of Höchst and the associated villages with all goods and rights.
Whether the Crumbach named in the document is the village of Mümling-Grumbach is controversial. However, a document from 1314 speaks for Mümling-Grumbach as the seat of Mr. von Crumbach. Otto von Crumbach died at that time. On January 5th, 1314, his sons Heinrich and Arreus sold their bailiwick in Hoeste with all the associated villages to the Höchst monastery for 250 pounds of Heller. The sale is confirmed in a document dated March 11, 1314.
It lists all the places belonging to the bailiwick of Otto von Crumbach. They are Höchst , Crumbach, Ober-Höchst, Dusenbach , Pfirschbach , Annelsbach and Hummetroth . The bailiwick therefore formed a closed district around Höchst. To exclude from this self-contained bailiwick Mümling-Grumbach as the seat of Otto von Crumbach and to replace it with Franconian-Crumbach in the Gersprenztal would contradict the meaning of the document. Mümling-Grumbach was certainly the center of the bailiwick of Heinrich von Crumbach named after him.
Until 1806 the place belonged to the lordship of Breuberg .
On December 31, 1971, Mümling-Grumbach voluntarily joined the large community of Höchst in the Odenwald on the occasion of the regional reform in Hesse .
badges and flags
coat of arms
Blazon : shield divided by silver and blue, on the right two red bars, in the widened left field a rising golden hind with a silver arrow placed over it and pointing downwards.
The coat of arms of the municipality of Mümling-Grumbach was approved by the Hessian Ministry of the Interior on December 23, 1968 . It was designed by the Bad Nauheim heraldist Heinz Ritt .
Hind and arrow are a symbol of St. Aegidius , the patron saint of the mountain church. The two red bars on silver are the coat of arms of the Breuberg rule , to which the place once belonged.
flag
The flag was approved for the municipality together with the coat of arms on December 23, 1968 by the Hessian Ministry of the Interior and is described as follows:
"The municipal coat of arms is placed on the red and yellow flag in the upper third at the intersection."
Culture and sights
Mountain church
This church was built in the 14th century; the two coats of arms of the Duborn and Weinsbergers on the Gothic entrance portal are stone witnesses to this. The tower is definitely more than 100 years older - a mighty square defense tower . The spire is from the 19th century. A matron relief is walled up inside the church . It was originally located in the cemetery wall and may have been dragged here from a Roman settlement in Mümlingtal. A cast can be seen at the nearby Roman Villa Haselburg .
Sports
The largest club was KSV Mümling-Grumbach with its football, table tennis and singing divisions. In 2003 the individual departments were spun off into three independent associations.
With over 400 members, the Turnverein 1894 Mümling-Grumbach eV is one of the largest clubs. Over 100 children and young people belong to it. A wide range of recreational sports (no ball sports) for all ages and genders is offered in numerous branches.
Puppet stage
The puppet theater founded by Ina Schimmel in 1977 is now relatively well known in the Odenwald .
