history

middle Ages

The place was first mentioned in 1316 as Rimpach . The earliest mentions of Rimbach refer not only to Niederrimbach but also to Oberrimbach. In the 14th century the place belonged to the Hohenlohe-Brauneck rule of Lichtel and with this it came first to the Teutonic Order in 1324/25 , 1340/49 to the Bishopric of Würzburg and from there in 1399 to Rothenburg. Even before that, Rothenburg citizens and the Rothenburg hospital there owned individual estates in Oberrimbach. In 1316 a castle in Hohenlohe ownership was mentioned on site, which was destroyed in 1381. There may be parallels here with Lichtel.
