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 .

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 .
