history

In 1957 a hatchet from the Neolithic was recovered during construction work .

Rodenbach belonged to the Partenstein office in the Middle Ages and the early modern period . This had changing masters: First the Counts of Rieneck , since 1277 the Archbishops of Mainz and the Lords and Counts of Hanau together, from 1684 only the Archbishopric. As with Wombach, the first documentary evidence is a Mainz document dated June 3, 1325, in which the vila Rodenbach is marked as Rieneck's fiefdom of Mainz, which Rieneck is allowed to sell to the Aschaffenburg monastery .

As part of the Archbishopric of Mainz, Rodenbach fell to the newly formed Principality of Aschaffenburg in the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss 1803 , with which (now a department of the Grand Duchy of Frankfurt ) it came to Bavaria in 1814 .

In 1862 the district office Lohr am Main was formed, on whose administrative area Rodenbach was located. In 1939, as everywhere in the German Reich, the designation district was introduced. Rodenbach was now one of the 26 communities in the Lohr am Main district (later LOH license plate ). With the dissolution of the Lohr district in 1972, Rodenbach came to the newly formed Main-Spessart district (license plate KAR , MSP from 1979 ).

The residents lived from pasture farming and the cultivation and processing of flax and hemp. Linen weavers and wool weavers began their activities and the products were traded as far as Frankfurt and Cologne . With the industrialization of these trades the possibility of earning a living dwindled. When the Ludwigs-West-Bahn (today: Main-Spessart-Bahn ) was built from the middle of the 19th century , many turned to this new way of making money.

On January 1, 1972, Rodenbach am Main was incorporated into the town of Lohr am Main.

On May 11, 1990, a German Armed Forces transport aircraft of the Transall type crashed near Rodenbach. All ten inmates died in this accident.

Rienecker Schlösschen

The main building of the palace complex

The originally Rieneck castle, an estate owned by the sovereigns and usually lent , was destroyed in the peasants' war. Count Philip III. von Rieneck and his wife, Margarete von Erbach , rebuilt the estate in 1531. After the Rieneckers died out in 1559, the manor fell back to the rulership, at that time a condominium between the Archdiocese of Mainz and the county of Hanau-Münzenberg . After 1559 it came into different hands. In 1612, Bamberg Prince-Bishop Philipp Valentin Voit von Rieneck , who was in office from 1653 until his death in 1672, was born there. After the line of the Voit von Rieneck with the Prince Bishop's youngest brother named Adam Dietrich (1639–1676) died out, the heir Philipp Heinrich Voit von Rieneck (1654–1711) sold the estate in 1690. It finally fell with the death of Acquirer Johann Franz Schnell returned to Kurmainz in 1704 and thus with the expiry of the "Mannlehen". Further use by the widow was tolerated until her death in 1726.

A little later, however, the Elector and Archbishop of Mainz Lothar Franz von Schönborn immediately lent the property to the Lohr bailiff Philipp Christoph von und zu Erthal , who converted the estate into a summer palace ( Rodenbach Castle ) for his family by 1731 . For his already ailing wife Maria Eva it was probably a place of special relaxation. Above the building entrance, the joint marriage coat of arms with the year 1731 still reminds of Philipp Christoph and his wife: with the Erthal family coat of arms and the family coat of arms of his wife, who was born in Bettendorf. In any case, the Rodenbacher Schlösschen can be particularly well connected with the local work of Philipp Christoph von und zu Erthal, which is only outshone by the Erthaler Hof in Mainz. After the Erthal family died out in 1805, the property passed to the Lords of Dalberg . In 1929 the municipality of Rodenbach was able to buy the property.

Filial church St. Rochus

In 1736/1738 St. Rochus was built as a branch church in Rodenbach and the pastoral care of Capuchins from Lohr was taken over. After the Capuchin monastery in Lohr closed in 1820, Rodenbach received its own chaplain and in 1826 its own cemetery . In 1831 a parish of its own was established and a rectory was built.
