Speßhart
Speßhart is Disposed hamlet in the district of Bad Rappenau .
According to Roman everyday ceramics found and a Roman calendar stone, Gewann Spessart , located northwest of Rappenau, was already settled in Roman times between 170 and 260 AD. A spring that arises there is favorable for settlement. According to the found ceramic remains, the modern settlement began probably in the 8th or 9th century.
By the high Middle Ages Speßhart developed into an estate with its own location marker. The estate was owned by the Worms Monastery . In the course of the settlement concentration in the late Middle Ages, the estate was bought on a pension basis in 1442/47 by the municipality of Rappenau from the benefactors of the St. Leonhard Altarpiece in the Wimpfener Liebfrauenkirche (Heinrich von Schemtz, Nicolaus Ramel, Jost Wacher and Lud [wig] Volprecht) acquired and converted to the commons . The demarcation of the place was lifted and the Rappenau demarcation was added. The Speßhart letter from 1442/47 reports on the transfer of ownership. From a letter from Reinhard “the scholar” of Gemmingen to Duke Friedrich von Württemberg from 1593 it can be seen that the development in Speßhart had already been removed at that time.
The place is occasionally also called Speceshart or Speteshart in the literature , although the local history researcher Reinhold Bührlen has mistakenly confused the property of the Barons of Gemmingen in the village of Spessart near Ettlingen with their property in Rappenau.
