history

To the west of Mangelsbach, the remains of a Roman tower were located that belonged to the Neckar-Odenwald-Limes .

The hamlet (die) Mangelsbach belonging to the district of Würzberg takes its name from the Mangelsbach that rises here and flows eastwards. As the easternmost border point of the Mark Michelstadt , Mangelsbach was named Bramaha in the years 819 and 1012 , the two courtyards in the northern area date from this time. The outlying farms were spared during the Thirty Years War, while the neighboring Eulbach fell into desolation as a result of arson and the plague.

The northern homestead Haus Walther was built in 1757 by the gatekeeper Hans Georg Gaul, who had been dismissed from the count's duties, without authorization and without permission. Despite violent disputes with the landowner, Count Franz I. zu Erbach-Erbach , the house was retained and later expanded into an agricultural property. The oldest residential building still in existence today dates from around 1790.

In 1829 the hamlet is known as Mengelbach . In 1927 Mangelsbach was incorporated into the neighboring village of Würzberg to the south. Mangelsbach came to Michelstadt on February 1, 1972, when Würzberg voluntarily joined the city of Michelstadt on the occasion of the regional reform in Hesse .

Cultural monuments

The old residential building of a former Hofreite, a small, one-story half-timbered house, can be dated to around 1790 and, together with the well-preserved pigsty with oven and toilet, has been placed under monument protection.

Transport and infrastructure

Mangelsbach is located near the federal highway 47 , the Nibelungenstraße , which leads from the core city of Michelstadt in the west to Amorbach in the east. To the west of Eulbach , the district road K 45 branches off the main road to the south in the direction of Würzberg and takes the short spur road from the hamlet of Mangelsbach from the east at the edge of the forest in front of Würzberg .
