history

Schmachtenberg (Schmaichberg) in the Spessart map by Paul Pfinzing from 1594 (north is on the right)

The village of Schmachtenberg was first mentioned in a document in 1298 and at that time belonged to the Klingenberg taverns . That year it was sold to the Teutonic Order .

In church terms, Schmachtenberg was a branch of the parish of St. Michaelis in Grubingen until the beginning of the 17th century . This period ended when the village of Grubingen went under during the plague . From around 1630 Schmachtenberg belonged to the church of Klingenberg and from 1740 to the parish of Röllbach.

In the 700 years from 1298 there were no other special events that were historically documented. The forest was the main source of income for the community. Until after the Second World War , Schmachtenberg was still completely dominated by agriculture .

On May 1, 1978, the previously independent community was incorporated into Mönchberg. In 1997 Schmachtenberg was enlarged by a new building area. The place has a lively club life and currently has about 400 inhabitants.
