Meielsheim

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The place was south-east of today's Mühlheim before Lammerspiel. There was a mill, the mill. The oldest surviving mention of the village comes from February 8, 793 as Meginoluesheim . The name Meginolf refers to a Franconian first name. In the Middle Ages the name changed to Meielsheim. Meielsheim was mentioned for the last time in a document in 1425 and in 1438/44 it was referred to as "wüst" in the Frankfurt Castle Law Register. The residents were probably forced to give up the village and move to Mühlheim as a result of the general agricultural depression.
