Karlesberg

The Antonius spring at the place of the former village

Karlesberg (historically also called Carlsberg ) is the deserted village in the Lower Franconian district of Aschaffenburg in Bavaria . It is located in the area of ​​today's market town Mömbris . Karlsberg fell in the 19th century. In various older statistics, the former settlement is listed as a separate district of Mömbris.

geography

The village was in the middle of Kahlgrund , about 350 meters from today's new Mömbris cemetery, between the villages of Rappach and Frohnhofen below the Bauersberg (308 m). The desert lies on the district of Mömbris. Today there is the Antoniusquelle , a red sandstone fountain.

history

middle Ages

The exact time of origin of Karlesberg is unclear, as there are no documents that prove the foundation. It is generally assumed that it was founded during the Franconian conquest (8th to 10th century) or at the time of the Hohenstaufen (12th / 13th century). The name of the village comes either from Karl , a synonym for a free man under the direct rule of the king in the Middle Ages, or from Kar-l , a name for a swamp or a wet meadow. In the Middle Ages , Karlesberg 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 .

Early modern age

In 1500 belehnte the Roman-German King Maximilian I. the Archbishop of Mainz and the Counts of Hanau-Münzenberg together with the free court that she as Kondominat managed. 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. Karlesberg remained Roman Catholic . Before 1633, Karlesberg, which was still settled at the beginning of the 17th century, became orphaned for the first time as a result of the Thirty Years' War and the plague and became a desert.

Belgian immigrants

Karlesberg was revived at the end of the 17th century by Walloon immigrants from today's Dour in Hainaut not far from the city of Mons . Their descendants settled in the neighboring villages in the following centuries and can still be found there after the abandonment of Karlesberg.

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. Karlesberg fell to Kurmainz. The Reichsdeputationshauptschluss of 1803 struck Karlesberg to the Landgraviate of Hessen-Darmstadt , which however only kept it for 13 years. In 1816 the now Grand Duchy of Hesse ceded the office to the Kingdom of Bavaria . Since then Karlesberg has been on Bavarian territory.

From the village to the desert

Most of the documented mentions of the village date from the 17th to the 19th century. From the 18th century it is also certain that it was a village and not just a single farm. For 1820 it is documented that Karlesberg was a milking place where cattle were milked and watered and where milkers and shepherds also had their homes. At least one inhabited building is shown on a land map from 1846, even if there is no longer any mention of a town. Numerous descendants of the Walloon immigrants already lived in Mömbris, Rappach , surrounding villages or had migrated to America.

The last evidence for the existence of the settled place comes from the year 1858. The residents probably emigrated because a good livelihood could not be achieved from the available arable land. Between 1870 and 1913 an existing Karlesberg house was relocated to Mömbris and served there as a schnapps distillery. Around 1945, a meadow owner on the Bauersberg demolished the last remaining wall. The street Karlesberg in Fronhofen is named after the desert, the Wallonenstraße in Rappach after the immigrants who settled the village from the 17th to the 19th century. At the former location of the settlement there is now a well, the Antonius spring.
