history

For the first time, Wombach was named Wonenbach in 1325 when the goods of Count Ludwig d. J. von Rieneck to the collegiate monastery St. Peter and Alexander in Aschaffenburg mentioned in a document. It is unclear whether Wombach was owned by the Archbishopric of Mainz or by the Counts of Rieneck . In 1339 Wombach was again in the possession of the von Rieneck family, now certainly as a fief of the Mainz archbishopric. The Counts of Rieneck had their Wombach property administered by followers.

In 1348 the nobleman Heinrich von Hohenlohe was the manager of the estate. In the 15th century the Mainz ore monastery pledged various places, including Wombach, to the Rieneckers, but was able to redeem the pledge in 1479. After the small castle was built in the neighboring town of Rodenbach am Main in 1531 , Rodenbach became the capital of the Mainz fiefdom. After the Count von Rieneck died out with Philip III. In 1559 the fiefdom fell back to the Archbishopric of Mainz, which in future shared ownership of Wombach and other villages with the Counts of Hanau .

In the future, Wombach formed a community with Rodenbach and was part of the Hanau'schen Amt Partenstein . There is still talk of a community in 1640, before the villages were separated again in the 18th century. In 1746 the Mainz Elector Philipp Christoph von Erthal enfeoffed the Rodenbacher Burglehen and the pending property in Wombach and Sackenbach. In 1814 Wombach was a result of the wars of liberation Bavarian .

In 1862 the district office Lohr am Main was formed, on whose administrative area Wombach was located. In 1939, as everywhere in the German Reich, the designation district was introduced. Wombach was now one of the 26 communities in the Lohr am Main district (later LOH license plate ). With the dissolution of the Lohr district in 1972, Wombach became part of the newly formed Main-Spessart district (later the MSP license plate ).

On January 1, 1972, Wombach am Main was incorporated into the city of Lohr am Main.

Today Wombach is a popular living area for new residents.
