history

In the years 1806 to 1808 the Kingdom of Bavaria was divided into 15 (state) districts, whose names were based on rivers. The Lower Main District was only established on February 20, 1817, after the Grand Duchy of Würzburg , the Principality of Aschaffenburg and some other areas (originally high penal offices and Hesse-Darmstadt and Baden areas) had fallen to Bavaria. Its capital became Würzburg , which although the administrative center now occupied a peripheral location in the kingdom. Some of the regional courts had already been established in 1814 and 1816. During the territorial reform initiated by King Ludwig I on November 29, 1837, it was renamed Lower Franconia and Aschaffenburg .
