history

From the Middle Ages to the Congress of Vienna in 1815, Steinbach belonged to the Würzburg Monastery , a fiefdom to the County of Rieneck and, after the Voit von Rieneck died out, to the Lords of Hutten (Stolzenberg line) through marriage .

The place has shared the history of Lohr am Main since 1815.

On January 1, 1972, Steinbach was incorporated into the city of Lohr am Main.

Jewish community

A small Jewish religious community seems to have existed in Steinbach for about 300 years. For the first time in 1595 a Samuel Judt is mentioned as a house owner. In the 19th century the community comprised ten to eleven households. It was not until 1870 that it began to shrink rapidly, probably due to the proximity of the new Jewish community in Lohr. In 1896 the last member of the Steinbach Jewish community was incorporated into the Lohrer Kehille .

economy

Several companies in the construction industry (glass, wood, concrete, sand, gravel) and service companies are based in Steinbach.

There are two inns and a few holiday apartments.

Attractions

  • The baroque church of St. Josef (1719–1721) is stylistically reminiscent of Balthasar Neumann buildings, but cannot be attributed to him, but possibly to Joseph Greissing . The single-nave hall church has three axes with a protruding tower. The west facade as well as pilasters and cornices are made of red sandstone; Incidentally, the nave is plastered white. The eye-catcher of the portal is the statue of Johannes von Nepomuk , surrounded by 16 family coats of arms of the building owner couple Franz Ludwig von Hutten and Johanna Juliana von Bicken. The interior is three-bay with barrel vaults and a three-sided choir closure; it is structured by pilasters. The furnishings are also baroque. The three-story high altar is decorated with sculptures of angels, above the baby Jesus between Mary and Joseph; above God the Father hovers in a halo. The altarpieces on the side altars show a St. Christopher (left) and a crucifixion (right). There is a small green area in front of the church.
Steinbach Castle
  • Opposite the church is Steinbach Castle . The older wing dates from the 16th century and housed the nobles of the von Rieneck and von Hutten families. The younger baroque building, designed by Balthasar Neumann, had Prince-Bishop Christoph Franz von Hutten built in 1725–1728 . The palace and park are privately owned by the von Hutten family and cannot be visited. In the summer season, however, the inner courtyard is opened for events - especially for an annual garden fair. In addition, the family has been running a company selling Scandinavian wooden houses in Germany since 1996.
