history

middle Ages

In the Middle Ages , Rappach belonged to the Mömbris court , which in turn was part of the Alzenau free court . The free court was directly imperial , but the empire pledged or lent the area again and again. So the rulers changed, including the lords and later counts of Hanau , the lords of Randenburg and the lords of Eppstein .

Modern times

In 1500 , the Roman-German King Maximilian I enfeoffed the Archbishop of Mainz and the Count of Hanau-Munzenberg together with the Freigericht, which they now administered as a condominium . Since ecclesiastical jurisdiction remained with the Archbishops of Mainz at the time of the condominium , the Reformation - in contrast to the County of Hanau-Münzenberg - could not prevail here. Rappach remained a Roman Catholic .

With Count Johann Reinhard III. the last male representative of the Hanau family died in 1736. The Landgrave of Hesse-Kassel was the heir of the Hanau-Münzenberg part of the state by virtue of a treaty . Whether his legacy also extended to Hanau's share in the condominium was heavily disputed in the following years between Kurmainz and Hessen-Kassel. The dispute ended in a compromise, the "party recession" of 1740, which provided for a real division of the condominium. However, it took until 1748 for the treaty to be implemented. As a result, Rappach fell to Kurmainz.

According to the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss 1803, Rappach became part of the newly formed Principality of Aschaffenburg of the Prince Primate von Dalberg, with which it finally fell to Bavaria in 1814 (then a department of the Grand Duchy of Frankfurt).

On July 1, 1862, the Alzenau district office was formed, on whose administrative territory Rappach lay. In 1939, as everywhere in the German Reich, the designation district was introduced. Rappach was now part of the Alzenau district in Lower Franconia (license plate ALZ ). With the dissolution of the Alzenau district in 1972, Rappach came into the newly formed Aschaffenburg district (license plate AB ).
