history

Border stone at the Rabengrundkopf. It separated the historical areas of the Grand Duchy of Hesse and the Grand Duchy of Frankfurt

The border between Alzenau and Mömbris did not always run across the Rabengrundkopf . There are a number of well-preserved, old boundary stones from 1810. They separated the historical areas of two earlier states in the Rhine Confederation . On one side was the territory of the Grand Duchy of Hesse , to which the town of Hörstein in the Alzenau district in the Starkenburg province belonged. On the other side was the Grand Duchy of Frankfurt with the village of Hohl in the Aschaffenburg department .
