The Schneppenbach is created between Geiselbach and Hofstädten on Staatsstraße 2306 , through the confluence of two small source streams. One of them rises near the Geiselbach spring area north of the road on the Ziegelberg (380 m). The other arises in a reed meadow. The Schneppenbach flows southeast to Hofstädten, where it takes up the stream from the Strüthgrund . Immediately after the village, the Schneppenbach runs past a war memorial . In Schneppenbach the Weizenbach and the Bach from the Rohrgrund flow to him . On the eastern edge of the village, the Schneppenbach flows into the Westerbach .

history

Landmarks

A boundary stone on the Schneppenbach separated the historical areas of the Grand Duchy of Hesse and the Grand Duchy of Frankfurt

Between the villages of Höfstädten and Schneppenbach, the Schneppenbach did not always just pass the boundary of the districts. In 1810 it crossed the historical border between two earlier states in the Rhine Confederation . The headwaters of the stream lay in the territory of the Grand Duchy of Hesse , to which the town of Hofstädten in the Alzenau district in the Starkenburg province belonged. The estuary was with the village Schneppenbach in the Grand Duchy of Frankfurt in the department of Aschaffenburg . There are also a number of historical boundary stones on this borderline along the stream.
