Pillory in Strümpfelbrunn

The existence of Strümpfelbrunn can be traced back to 1342 as Strüphilburnen as the main town of the Zwingenberg rule . In 1521, Emperor Charles V granted the town the privilege of holding a fair. The name of the Alte Marktstrasse still reminds of this right.

After the Thirty Years War ten of 26 houses had burned down. From the maximum of 73 Jews in 27 families in 1860, the number decreased to five Jewish families in November 1938, at the time of the Reichspogromnacht . These emigrated or were murdered in extermination camps .

On January 1, 1973, Strümpfelbrunn and four other communities formed the new community of Waldbrunn.
