history

middle Ages

In the Middle Ages , Stötzbach belonged to the Mömbris court , which in turn was part of the Alzenau free court . The free court was directly imperial , but the empire pledged or lent the area again and again. So the rulers changed, including the lords and later counts of Hanau , the lords of Randenburg and the lords of Eppstein .

Modern times

In 1500 , the Roman-German King Maximilian I enfeoffed the Archbishop of Mainz and the Count of Hanau-Munzenberg together with the Freigericht, which they now administered as a condominium . Since ecclesiastical jurisdiction remained with the Archbishops of Mainz at the time of the condominium , the Reformation - in contrast to the County of Hanau-Münzenberg - could not prevail here. Stötzbach remained Roman Catholic .

With Count Johann Reinhard III. the last male representative of the Hanau family died in 1736. The Landgrave of Hesse-Kassel was the heir of the Hanau-Münzenberg part of the state by virtue of a treaty . Whether his legacy also extended to Hanau's share in the condominium was heavily disputed in the following years between Kurmainz and Hessen-Kassel. The dispute ended in a compromise, the "party recession" of 1740, which provided for a real division of the condominium. However, it took until 1748 for the treaty to be implemented. Stötzbach fell to Kurmainz.

According to the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss 1803 Strötzbach became part of the newly formed Principality of Aschaffenburg of the Prince-Primate von Dalberg, with which it finally fell to Bavaria in 1814 (at that time a department of the Grand Duchy of Frankfurt).

On July 1, 1862, the Alzenau District Office was formed, on whose administrative area Stötzbach was located. In 1939, as everywhere in the German Reich, the designation district was introduced. Stötzbach was now part of the Alzenau district in Lower Franconia (license plate ALZ ). With the dissolution of the Alzenau district in 1972, Stötzbach moved to the newly formed Aschaffenburg district (license plate AB ).

Worth seeing

Strötzbacher mill

Strötzbacher double mill

On the rocky foothills of the Daunert (334 m), a double mill with two undershot water wheels was built in 1650 on a natural fall from the Kahl . The village of Strötzbach has its origins in this area. The two mills were used by the neighboring farmers, but were shut down in 1970. Today the building with interior fittings, the weirs , the mill stream and the water wheels are still there, so that a mill museum was housed in the Strötzbacher mill, which can be visited by appointment.

Pesthellchen

The Pesthellchen

There is a small chapel in the village , the Pesthellchen . It is dedicated to St. Barbara and is said to owe its origin to the plague epidemics of the 17th century. The survivors of the Fronhofen farm built a chapel on their homestead out of gratitude. The chapel was demolished after the courtyard fell apart at the beginning of the 18th century and rebuilt at the entrance to Kreuzgasse. In 1977 the Hellchenhäuschen moved again: The municipality of Mömbris acquired the site of the Alte Schmiede on Dellersweg. The chapel was dismantled and rebuilt at the new location. In 1992 a 300 year old bell found its new place in the little church.
