Seulberger Mark
The Seulberger Mark or Erlenbacher Mark was a medieval market cooperative for forest use in the Taunus , which existed until the beginning of the 19th century. The Seulberger Mark extended south of the Limes section between Saalburg and the Lochmühle and west of the Erlenbach . The area was 7,016 acres .
history
The organization of the Seulberger Mark corresponded to that of the neighboring Hohen Mark . Märkerding was every Sunday Laetare in the floodplain between Seulberg and Ober-Eschbach. Forest messengers were the Counts of Hanau and later the Landgraves of Hesse-Homburg . The border between the two brands was the Rotlaufweg .
The Seulberger Mark included Obererlenbach , Niedererlenbach , Seulberg , Köppern , Holzhausen , Petterweil and Dillingen . After Dillingen had fallen desolately in the 15th or 16th century , its market rights were transferred to Friedrichsdorf .
With the partition contract of August 14, 1802, the Seulberger Mark was dissolved and the rights to use the forest were transferred to the communities . Each village received an equal share. However, the Landgrave received 1/8 of the area, Ober-Erlenbach 40 acres more than one village and Friedrichsdorf ¾ of the share of a village.
Boundary markings
The borders of the Seulberger Mark were marked with boundary stones . These bore the inscription SEM, the year of installation and a number.
After the real division in 1803, the newly created borders were marked with forest paths and boundary stones. These structures have been preserved to this day. The boundary stones from 1803 have a largely uniform structure. They bear the abbreviation of the rule on the front and back, including that of the place and a number. The year had struck the side. There were also three-sided stones for the corner points where several borders met. In later years stones were partially replaced. These differ by the year and possibly by the rule. The abbreviations of the places were:
| Abbreviation | stands for | annotation |

| F NE | Frankfurt - Nieder-Erlenbach | Later GH NE (Grand Duchy of Hesse - Nieder-Erlenbach) |

The boundary stones are located on the edge of the forest paths that were created between the now separated forest pieces. These are the
- Nieder-Erlenbach / Petterweil border aisle: The 1.2 km long border path begins at Saunickels Wardrobe and leads to the southwest
- Seulberg / Obererlenbach border lane: the 2.9 km long border path begins in Dillingen and leads north-west
- Border aisle Friedrichsdorf / Köppern, Petterweil / Köppern and Niedererlenbach / Köppern: This 3.7 km long dead straight path runs parallel to the Köpperner valley
- Border aisle Nieder-Erlenbach / Ober-Erlenbach and Petterweil / Ober-Erlenbach: This 3.4 km long dead straight path runs from Dillingen to the west
