Until the 19th century

The location in the Main valley has given the community its name, Mainleus means settlement of the Slavic clan of the Lubis am Main. Rafting across the Main had its heyday in the 19th century. As part of the Prussian principality of Bayreuth since 1792, Mainleus was part of the Franconian Empire from 1500 . It fell to France in the Peace of Tilsit in 1807, which left it to Bavaria in 1810.

20th century

In 1908 the Kulmbacher spinning mill set up a branch in Mainleus. This was expanded as early as 1912. With more workers moving in, living space became scarce. The Kulmbacher spinning mill under the leadership of Privy Councilor Fritz Hornschuch began with the construction of a three hectare residential colony for the workers, which is called Hornschuchshausen. By the beginning of the Second World War, a total of 51 houses for around 300 residents had been built. The ensemble is still inhabited.

The air raids at the end of the Second World War were primarily directed against the so-called war-decisive industry, which also included the ball bearing industry in Schweinfurt . This industry was moved to relatively safe areas. That is why the United Ball Bearing Factory in Schweinfurt was housed in the Mainleus spinning mill building in 1943 under the name “Ostwerk”.

In 1943 the Ostwerk built six barracks with various housing units for the forced laborers .
