The Swedes occupied the village of Rembrücken in 1631 during the Thirty Years War and destroyed it. King Gustav II Adolf confiscated the office of Steinheim as spoils of war and equipped the later Hanau Counts Heinrich Ludwig von Hanau-Münzenberg (1609–1632) and Jakob Johann von Hanau-Münzenberg (1612–1636), who were allied with him, with it.

Church building

The church of Rembrücken is under the patronage of Maria . Since 1477 it was a branch church of the parish church of Weiskirchen . In 1756 the chapel was consecrated “ Mariä Sacrifice ” and in 1925 it was replaced by a new building. The parish is part of the diocese of Mainz .

Rembrücker Altar

The “Rembrücker Altar”, which was dismantled in the old chapel “Mariä Sacrifice” and created before 1590, was rediscovered in 2008 in the Cathedral and Diocesan Museum in Mainz . It is believed that the altar was donated by the Lords of Heusenstamm for the church of the Patershausen monastery. After the Swedes brought the altar to a storage facility in Steinheim am Main during the Thirty Years War , it stayed there after the war. Later he was temporarily taken to the chapel of Heusenstamm Castle . When this was demolished, it found its place in the "Old Chapel", newly built in 1756 in Rembrücken. The altar was damaged by bombs during World War II on February 1, 1942. Disassembled into at least 23 parts, however, it could be put back together again by 2010. A thorough restoration by a stonemason in Heusenstamm in 2011 enabled a display in the "House of City History" for the 800th anniversary of the city of Heusenstamm.
