Mosbach is a district of the municipality of Schaafheim in the Darmstadt-Dieburg district in southern Hesse .
geography
Mosbach is located in the Bergstrasse-Odenwald Nature Park . It is 5 km south of Schaafheim and borders the neighboring towns of Radheim and Wenigumstadt (district of Großostheim ). The latter is already in Bavaria .
history
The oldest surviving document that mentions Mosbach comes from 828 and names Einhard as the exhibitor. Mosbach, then still called Machesbach , was the seat of a nunnery. At the beginning of the 13th century, the Order of St. John came to the Bachgau community through a donation from the Counts of Wertheim ; Through further donations and purchases, the Johanniter became the sole masters of the village. Above the old St. John's Church, an extensive religious settlement was built, which was also the seat of a religious convent. For more than six centuries, the fate of Mosbach was determined by the Johannites. The property of the order was secularized in 1806. Mosbach, which, along with the former Electoral Mainz part of the Bachgau, had belonged to the Mainz Obererzstift for centuries, came to the Principality of Aschaffenburg in 1803 with the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss and in 1810 to the Grand Duchy of Frankfurt . After the end of the Grand Duchy it was transferred to the Kingdom of Bavaria on June 26, 1814 as a result of the Paris Treaties . On January 29, 1817, an exchange of territory resulted in the Grand Duchy of Hesse together with Radheim and Dorndiel .
In Mosbach, the Mainz land law was considered to be a particular law and the common law beyond that, insofar as the Mainz land law did not contain special provisions for a matter. This special rights retained its validity and throughout the 19th century during the affiliation of the area to the Grand Duchy of Hesse and was only on January 1, 1900 by the same across the whole German Reich current Civil Code replaced.
The statistical-topographical-historical description of the Grand Duchy of Hesse reports on Mosbach in 1829:
»Moßbach (L. Bez. Dieburg) cath. Parish village; is located on the Welzbach on a gentle hill, 3 St. from Dieburg and 1 3 ⁄ 4 St. from Umstadt. The place consists of 88 houses and has 591 inhabitants, up to 25 Luth. are Catholic, and among these 42 farmers and 34 artisans. Here you can find the Commendehof with around 800 acres of arable and meadow land, 2 grinding mills and 1 paint factory. The place has 4 markets a year. - Moßbach, whose name probably originated from Macho, was called Machesbach in the Carolingian times. Around the year 827 there was a nunnery here, presumably from the order of the Benedictines. In the possession of this monastery, the Order of St. John appears in 1312, called the Order of Malta since 1530. When the convent of the nuns ended is unknown, but the buildings were still standing in 1564. - A Johanniter Ordens-Commendehaus was built here, the origin of which is shown quite clearly in a document from 1218, in which Count Boppo von Wertheim gave the Order of St. John the patronage of the Parish of Moßbach during a crusade. The possessions of the order gradually increased in Moßbach, and around 1253 and 1255 Moßbach appeared as a member of the main commendation of Frankfurt. Since 1400 the members Frankfurt, Moßbach, Gelnhausen and Rüdigheim were united in a commende under the Ballei Wetterau. This commende was called Frankfurt and Mosbach; The Comthur used to live permanently at Moßbach, and later alternately at Frankfurt. - The Order of St. John, first a spiritual, then a secular order, founded at the beginning of the Crusades and mainly to defend the Church against the unbelievers, received large estates throughout almost all of Europe. The affairs of the Order were directed by the Chapter, which consisted of 8 Ballivi Conventuali . The whole was divided into 8 tongues (districts). The lands of the districts were divided into priories, these into balleien and these again into commenden (commenthureien). - In 1781, the Comthur Freiherr von Rottberg built what is now the beautiful Hof- und Commende-Haus. In 1806 and 1807 the German Johanniter goods were generally confiscated and in 1819 the last Comthur, Baron von Pfürdt zu Blumberg, died. The place had its nobles who have named themselves by him. Mosbach was Tilly's headquarters in 1622. The town was swapped from Baiern to Hesse in 1817, and in 1818 it was converted to the Dieburger Landkapitel. "
Mosbach has completely given up its former rural structure and is now a pure residential community.

Culture and sights
Buildings
To the north of Mosbach on the Mosbacher district on the border to the Schaafheimer district is the Wartturm , a defense tower built in 1492 by the Archbishop of Mainz Berthold von Henneberg on the old Bachgauer Landwehr . He secured the transition from the so-called Schiffweg to the Kurmainzer area. The watch tower is located on the 216 m high Binselberg. The tower itself is 22 m high. In 1992 it was restored and made mountable again. In 2008 the municipality of Schaafheim fundamentally redesigned the area around the tower. From the watch tower you have a wonderful view of the Bachgau.
The Catholic Church of St. John Baptist is also worth seeing . This was built around 1250 by the Johanniter.
