District
From time immemorial, there have been the districts of Nilkheim, Leider and Aschaffenburg in the major bend of the Main. The latter was limited to the small area of the western bridgehead of the Main Bridge; today this area belongs to the district unfortunately. The historical district of the submerged village of Nilkheim includes the Schönbusch Park and borders in the north on Stockstadt , in the west on Großostheim (both in the district of Aschaffenburg ) and in the south on Niedernberg in the district of Miltenberg . In the south-east, in the middle of the Main, the border with the Obernau district (city of Aschaffenburg) runs. In the east and north, the border to the region of Leider (city of Aschaffenburg) runs roughly on the line Flughalle - Maze - Schlösschen - Jägerhof. On May 17, 1818, the historic district of Nilkheim with the Schönbusch and the Nilkeimer Hof as components that had previously been incorporated into the municipal police district was assigned to the newly founded magistrate of the city of Aschaffenburg for administration.
The fact that the modern Nilkheim is now predominantly in the Nahe district and only to a small extent in the former Nilkheim district is due to the fact that in 1933 near the Schönbusch railway station, at the same time near a main water line and a medium-voltage overhead line on urban premises near a garbage dump on the edge of the district unfortunately the so-called Großostheimer Siedlung - originally a barracks settlement - was built by the city of Aschaffenburg. This homeless settlement was supplemented by the city of Aschaffenburg with single, semi-detached and terraced houses as well as a school in the prewar period to create a small district of its own. In the period after the Second World War , a number of additional settlement expansions (mainly through the activities of non-profit housing associations), the construction of the Catholic parish church of St. Kilian and finally the name change from "Großostheimer Siedlung" or "Siedlung im Blauen" to Nilkheimer Siedlung and finally in Nilkheim in 1950. The name Nilkheim was chosen based on the names "Hofgut Nilkheim" and "Nilkheimer Kapelle", which in turn can be traced back to the place Nilkheim, which perished in the Markgräflerkrieg and the Thirty Years War .
In Aschaffenburg today a distinction is made between the area of Leider, which covers almost the entire area northeast of the port railway and the port area, and the district of Leider, the Kleine Schönbuschallee laid out by Elector Emerich Joseph in 1766 and the one laid out in 1780 by Elector Friedrich Karl Joseph and Grosse Schönbuschallee, which was developed as a road, was separated from the greater part of its boundary. In the 18th century, between the two above-mentioned avenues, there was an avenue field, which had been kept free of higher vegetation and through which there was a line of sight between Schönbusch Park and the entire upper town of Aschaffenburg. The avenue field was used as a parade ground in the 19th century and up to the First World War , and in the following years it was mainly built with allotment gardens and sports facilities. It cannot be clearly assigned to either of the two neighboring districts. Simultaneously with the main canalization and the port expansion, from July 1914 the extensive tracks of a shunting yard were built north along the Großer Schönbuschallee by the Royal Bavarian State Railways. With this, the greater part of the Leiderer Feldflur was finally separated from the village of Leider.
The district of Nilkheim not only encompasses the largest part of the district of the submerged village of Nilkheim, but also the part (see above) of the district that has been separated from the district of Leider. A part of the historical district of Nilkheim, the Nilkheimer Huben , was added to the district of Großostheim after the fall of the village of Nilkheim and was administered by a Hubenschultheiß residing in Großostheim. In the course of the municipal reform in 1978, the part of the Nilkheimer Huben was incorporated into the area of the city of Aschaffenburg, which lies east of the AB 16 district road. Thus the district of Nilkheim also contains a hallway called Großostheim. The Nilkheimer and Großostheimer corridor of the Nilkheim district is used, apart from Schönbusch Park and Nilkheimer Park, mainly for industrial and commercial purposes. Unfortunately, the district of Nilkheim is used as a residential area and with the industrial area Nilkheim I or Nikheim-Ost, commercially.
