history

Partenstein (seen from Bartenstein castle ruins)

Until the church is planted

The village of Partenstein emerged as a village at the foot of Bartenstein Castle, built around 1180 by the Counts of Rieneck . It was the administrative seat of the Partenstein office of the same name . This had changing masters: first the Counts of Rieneck , since about 1277 the Archbishops of Mainz and the Lords and Counts of Hanau together, from 1684 only the Archbishopric. The castle had already been destroyed in the Thirty Years' War in 1626 . In the 16th and 17th centuries, forest glass was produced in the forests around Partenstein . Other important branches of industry up to the 19th century were wood trading and wood processing.

Administrative history

In 1784, like Wiesen, Ruppertshütten and Frammersbach, Partenstein belonged to the District Bailiwick of Frammersbach in the administration and winery Lohr in the Oberamt Orb and Lohr of the Electorate of Mainz. With the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss, Partenstein came to the newly formed principality of Aschaffenburg in 1803. At the time of the Grand Duchy of Frankfurt, Partenstein was in the administrative area of ​​the Districtsmairie Frammersbach in the department of Aschaffenburg. In 1812 Partenstein had 115 fireplaces and 696 souls (residents). Maire was Johann Mehrlich; The pastor was Johann Wilhelm Müller; the Catholic school teacher was called Franz Amberg and the Lutheran Jacob Diel.

Through the Treaties of Paris, Partenstein came to the Kingdom of Bavaria in 1814 , where from October 1 it was on the territory of the third-class district court of Frammersbach, which was created on that day. In the course of the administrative reforms in Bavaria, today's municipality was created with the municipal edict of 1818 .

On November 22, 1823, the Frammersbach Regional Court was dissolved and its area moved to the Lohr Regional Court. In 1862 the district office Lohr am Main was formed, on whose administrative area Partenstein was located. In 1939, as everywhere in the German Reich, the designation district was introduced. Partenstein was one of the 26 communities in the Lohr am Main district . With the dissolution of the Lohr am Main district, Partenstein came to the newly formed Mittelmain district on July 1, 1972, which was given its final name Main-Spessart district ten months later .

19th and 20th centuries

With the construction of the Ludwigs-West-Bahn , today: Main-Spessart-Bahn , which began operating in the Spessart in 1854, industrialization and mining began on a larger scale. This included the extraction of barite (barite), which was mined in 14 pits from 1840 onwards. In 1948 dismantling was stopped after the machine house of the last shaft still in operation (Marienschacht) was destroyed by a lightning strike. From 1939 to the 1980s, the Schantz shoe factory produced at a location near the train station; the buildings are still preserved.

During the time of National Socialism , after a complaint in January 1942 against Fritz Seyboth (1907–1974), pastor and member of the NSDAP local group Partenstein, criminal proceedings were initiated for holding an allegedly solemn church service on a weekday (by Gauleiter Otto Hellmuth , supported by SS Brigade Leader and Police Major Benno Martin ), which was discontinued after a warning from Seyboth. As an unpopular theologian, Seyboth was drafted into army service in 1943.

The history of the place is presented in the European Partenstein Cultural Trail .

Religions

Due to the influence of the Lutheran county of Hanau-Münzenberg , which was reformed from 1597 , Partenstein is still one of the few predominantly Protestant communities in the Bavarian Spessart.

badges and flags

The coat of arms was approved on January 28, 1969.

Blazon : "In red over golden bricks in four rows, two diagonally crossed silver halberds."

The halberds, which used to be called Parten, and the stones speak for the place name. The colors red and gold are taken from the coat of arms of the Counts of Rieneck and the Counts of Hanau, which were of great importance for the history of the place. The Counts of Rieneck have been recorded in Partenstein since 1233 until their extinction in 1559, the Counts of Hanau since 1339. The colors silver and red are reminiscent of the sovereignty of the Electorate of Mainz.

The coat of arms was designed by the heraldist Karl Haas from Kronach.

The municipality's flag has white, red and yellow stripes.

Parish partnership

Attractions

Erich tunnel with mouth hole, lorry track and shelter
  • Evangelical parish church , built in 1830/31, based on plans by Johann Philipp Mattlener , a student of Friedrich Weinbrenner .
  • Catholic parish church of St. John the Baptist , built in 1836 based on the Protestant church, probably also based on a design by Philipp Mattlener.
  • Ruins of the castle of the Counts of Rieneck , after the destruction in 1633 only a 20 m high wall remained at the end of the 20th century, until ongoing excavations and wall renovations began.
  • The war memorial in the center and the fountain garden, which is also located here.
  • Local history museum "Ahler Kråm"
  • Circular hiking trail to the facilities of the former barite mining in Schnepfental: A sandstone slab path, on which the wheel tracks of the barite transport wagons are still clearly visible, leads to the so-called bunker (loading area, in operation 1946–1948); there end the tracks on which the material from the higher-lying Erich tunnel with Loren was brought here. The mouth hole, lorry track and shelter (information boards; facility restored in 1992) are the surviving relics of the transport tunnel, which was driven in 1922 from the Marienschacht (formerly Erichschacht, built in 1904) above. From him, who had a winding tower, a machine house and a workshop, only a few foundations can be seen. The documentation trail leads across the Hirtleswiese, where the barite was washed before 1922 (wide view over the town and castle) to the starting point.
  • Two buildings have been preserved from what were once three mills on the Lohrbach. Only a plaque with a reference to the owner from 1825 reminds of the lower mill. The middle mill - a half-timbered building on the bridge below the castle - is privately owned; There is also a memorial plaque made of sandstone with a reference to a miller Johannes from 1824. The Obere Mühle - also a restored half-timbered house in private ownership - can be dated to the 16th century. It was originally a grain mill and has been converted into a barite mill. Barite was washed there after 1922, when there was the Erichstollen and the shortened connection route into the valley. After 1948 the mill became inoperable. The mill wheel was removed in the late 1950s. In 2011 it was rebuilt as an innovative small power station.
