history

middle Ages

In 1309 the place was first mentioned as Wetzingintal . In 1424 there was another documentary mention as Wetzental , which is probably due to a personal name. Wessental originally belonged to the tenth in Bürgstadt . In 1309, Count Konrad von Vaihingen sold his Wessental property to the Bronnbach monastery . In 1342 the place was lent by the German Order of the Procelten.

Modern times

In the 16th century, Wessental was loaned to the Rüdt von Collenberg by the diocese of Mainz . In 1659 the place fell home to the diocese of Mainz and was henceforth part of the Alt Miltenberg.

From 1813 to 1938 Boxtal belonged to the office and later district office of Wertheim, then from 1938 to the Tauberbischofsheim district , which in turn became part of the newly formed Main-Tauber district on January 1, 1973 .

Wessental was incorporated into the city of Freudenberg on January 1, 1972 together with Boxtal and Ebenheid.
