history

middle Ages

In the Middle Ages , Molkenberg belonged to the Mömbris court , which in turn was part of the Alzenau free court . The free court was directly imperial , but the empire pledged or lent the area again and again. So the rulers changed, including the lords and later counts of Hanau , the lords of Randenburg and the lords of Eppstein .

Modern times

In 1500 , the Roman-German King Maximilian I enfeoffed the Archbishop of Mainz and the Count of Hanau-Munzenberg together with the Freigericht, which they now administered as a condominium . Since ecclesiastical jurisdiction remained with the Archbishops of Mainz at the time of the condominium , the Reformation - in contrast to the County of Hanau-Münzenberg - could not prevail here. Molkenberg remained Roman Catholic .

With Count Johann Reinhard III. the last male representative of the Hanau family died in 1736. The Landgrave of Hesse-Kassel was the heir of the Hanau-Münzenberg part of the state by virtue of a treaty . Whether his legacy also extended to Hanau's share in the condominium was heavily disputed in the following years between Kurmainz and Hessen-Kassel. The dispute ended in a compromise, the "party recession" of 1740, which provided for a real division of the condominium. However, it took until 1748 for the treaty to be implemented. Molkenberg fell to Kurmainz.

The Reichsdeputationshauptschluss of 1803 struck Molkenberg to the Landgraviate of Hessen-Darmstadt , which only kept it for 13 years. In 1816 the now Grand Duchy of Hesse ceded the office to the Kingdom of Bavaria . Molkenberg has been Bavarian since then. In 1818 it became a part of Mömbris.

On July 1, 1862, the Alzenau district office was formed, on whose administrative territory Molkenberg was located. In 1939, as everywhere in the German Reich, the designation district was introduced. Molkenberg now belonged to the Alzenau district in Lower Franconia (license plate ALZ ). With the dissolution of the Alzenau district in 1972, Molkenberg moved to the newly formed Aschaffenburg district (license plate AB ).
