history

Place name

The name Weibersbrunn goes back to the source of the Weibersbach , where the place was founded. In 1713 the village was entered on maps as am Weibersbron . The Middle High German basic word brunne means source . The meaning of the determiner probably goes back to the name Wibert .

Until the church is planted

The place Weibersbrunn was founded in 1706 as the location of a new operation of the Kurmainzische Spiegelmanufaktur , which already had glassworks in Lohr and Rechtenbach . In 1717 the "Weibersbrunner Spiegelhütte" was built. In 1746 the workers of the hut applied for the construction of their own parish church or at least a chapel.

Weibersbrunn became widely known through the manufacture of baroque goblets and goblets made of glass, and the “ moon glass ”, semi-circular pane glass that was later produced here , made the place internationally famous.

Administrative history

The Electoral Mainz area in the Hochspessart was added to the Principality of Aschaffenburg in 1803 and part of the Grand Duchy of Frankfurt in 1810 . Weibersbrunn was there in 1812 with the glassworks, stone mill and the post, hunter's and forester's houses in the hamlet of Rohrbrunn as a mairie with a total of 96 fireplaces and 459 inhabitants in the area of ​​the Rothenbuch district mairie of the Aschaffenburg department. Maire, Zöllner and Accisor was Georg Adam Rung. His adjuncts were called Balthasar and Jacob Roth. The school teacher was Alois Stahl and the smelter's name was Amrhein. In 1814, Weibersbrunn came to Bavaria with the District Fairie Rothenbuch via Austria , where it was on the territory of the regional court of the older order Rothenbuch. In the course of the administrative reforms in Bavaria, today's municipality was created with the municipal edict of 1818 .

On July 1, 1862, the District Office of Aschaffenburg was formed from the district courts of the older order Rothenbuch and Aschaffenburg , on whose administrative area Weibersbrunn was located. In 1939, as everywhere in the German Reich, the designation district was introduced. Weibersbrunn was now one of the 33 communities in the old district of Aschaffenburg . On July 1, 1972, this merged with the Alzenau district in Lower Franconia to form the new Aschaffenburg district.

20th and 21st centuries

From May 1, 1978 to December 31, 1979, Weibersbrunn belonged to the Waldaschaff administrative community . The other member communities Waldaschaff and Rothenbuch were still connected until December 31, 1993; on January 1, 1994, the administrative community was dissolved.

In 2006 the community celebrated the 300th anniversary with a big festival.

coat of arms

Blazon : Divided; at the top split by red and black, in front a six-spoke silver wheel, behind a silver mirror in a gold frame; below, a bricked silver fountain with an open fountain gate over rippled blue water.

History of the coat of arms: The coat of arms shows the six-spoke silver wheel (Mainzer Rad) of the Archbishopric of Mainz, to which the municipality belonged until the end of the old empire in 1803. A mirror can be seen in the second quarter. It symbolizes the mirror manufactories that were established in the municipality in 1698 in the former glassworks in Rechtenbach and Lohr am Main. Archbishop Lothar Franz von Schönborn had recruited French glassmakers for this. Their factories produced flat glass for mirrors. The glass production was stopped between 1801 and 1803 in Rechtenbach and Lohr am Main, in Weibersbrunn not until 1864. The fountain stands for the local name part “brunn”.

The municipality has had the coat of arms since June 14, 1971.
