= = = Kleinkahl = = =

Kleinkahl is a community in the Aschaffenburg district in the "Regierungsbezirk" of Lower Franconia ("Unterfranken") in Bavaria, Germany, and a member of the "Verwaltungsgemeinschaft" (municipal association) of Schöllkrippen. Kleinkahl has around 1,800 inhabitants.

Kleinkahl lies in the region known as "Bavarian Lower Main" ("Bayerischer Untermain") in the "Mittelgebirge" Spessart. The municipal territory is located at the northern border of the district of Aschaffenburg and at the border between Bavaria and Hesse. It lies in the Kahlgrund, the valley of the river Kahl, a tributary of the Main. At Kleinkahl, the Kleine Kahl flows into the Kahl.

Kleinkahl has eight "Ortsteile": Edelbach, Kahlmühle, Großkahl, Glashütte, Wesemichhof, Großlaudenbach, Kleinkahl and Kleinlaudenbach. The community has the following five "Gemarkungen" (traditional rural cadastral areas): Edelbach, Großkahl, Großlaudenbach, Kleinkahl, Kleinlaudenbach.

Kleinkahl borders on (clockwise from the north): Biebergemünd (Hesse), the unincorporated areas and , Schöllkrippen and Westerngrund.

Part of the current municipal area lay within the Archbishopric of Mainz and in 1803, it was secularized. The rest lay within Krombach over which the Counts of Schönborn held sway and passed with mediatization in 1806 to the Principality of Aschaffenburg, with which it passed in 1814 to the Kingdom of Bavaria. In the course of administrative reform in Bavaria, the current community came into being with the "Gemeindeedikt" (“Municipal Edict”) of 1818.

On 1 July 1972, the communities Kleinkahl, Großlaudenbach and Kleinlaudenbach were merged to form the new municipality Kleinkahl. On 1 January 1976, Edelbach became a part of Kleinkahl.

Within the municipal area, there were 1,608 inhabitants in 1970, 1,582 in 1987 and 1,842 in 2000.

The council is made up of 13 council members, counting the part-time mayor.

The mayor is Angelika Krebs (Wählergemeinschaft).

The community's arms might be described thus: A pallet wavy per pallet wavy argent and azure, dexter gules a glass of the last, sinister a castle with three towers embattled gules.

The parted wavy pallet refers to the community's geographical location of the river Kahl, which runs through the community. Since municipal reform in 1970 the community has been made up of five constituent communities, Kleinkahl and Kleinlaudenbach on the Kahl's left bank, and Großkahl and Großlaudenbach on the Kahl's right bank. Edelbach lies somewhat farther away. The river, which rises some two or three kilometres upstream, was in the Middle Ages a political boundary. The glass on the dexter (armsbearer's right, viewer's left) side is a so-called "Spechter" and refers to the local glass production since the Middle Ages. The tinctures argent and gules (silver and red) are those of Electoral Mainz, to which the area belonged until 1803. The sinister (armsbearer's left, viewer's right) side shows the arms borne by the family Ulner of Dieburg, an aristocratic family known to have been in the municipal area from the 15th to the 17th century. The Ulner coat of arms was incorporated into the community's arms not only for this family's history here, but rather also to recall the Counts of Rieneck and Schönberg.

The arms have been borne since 18 October 1985.

Municipal tax revenue in 1999 amounted to €674,000 (converted), of which €8,000 (net) was business taxes.

According to official statistics, there were 160 workers on the social welfare contribution rolls working in producing businesses, and in trade and transport 0. In other areas, 27 workers on the social welfare contribution rolls are employed, and 667 such workers work from home. There are two processing businesses. Three businesses are in construction, and furthermore, in 1999, there were 28 agricultural operations with a working area of 563 ha, of which 162 ha was cropland and 399 ha was meadowland.

As of 1999, Kleinkahl had a kindergarten with 75 places.

= = = Kleinostheim = = =

Kleinostheim is a community in the Aschaffenburg district in the "Regierungsbezirk" of Lower Franconia ("Unterfranken") in Bavaria, Germany.

The community of Kleinostheim is about 40 kilometers east southeast of Frankfurt am Main about a half hour drive from it.

Kleinostheim lies upstream from Frankfurt on the Main river. It is at the western edge of the Spessart range near Aschaffenburg. Like the nearby city of Mainz to the west, the 50th parallel north goes through the community.

Kleinostheim's four "Ortsteile" are Kleinostheim, Waldstadt, Industriegebiet West and Wingert. The later three, however, are not officially recognized.

Owing to the favourable transport connections over an important north-south railway link and the Autobahnen A 3 and A 45, and because it lies on the Rhine-Danube waterway and in the middle of the Frankfurt Rhine Main Region, the community offers many advantages as a location. Kleinostheim benefits from lying near prosperous cities such as Frankfurt, Offenbach and Aschaffenburg by serving as a commuter town. Since the 1960s, the community's population has more than doubled from 4,000 to over 8,000.

Kleinostheim was most likely founded in the 6th century as Ossenheim by the Franks, and in 975, it had its first documentary mention. For almost a thousand years it was ecclesiastically and politically tightly bound with Saints Peter's and Alexander's Monastery in Aschaffenburg.

On 21 January 1945, the community suffered the most dreadful day in its history. In an air raid, more than 500 buildings were either damaged or utterly destroyed, and 61 people were killed. Commemorating this is a memorial site, renovated in 1995, at the graveyard.

In 1951, the third Saint Lawrence's Church ("Laurentiuskirche") in the Catholic parish's over 1000-year history was consecrated. Nearby, in 1955, so was Saint Mark's Church ("Markuskirche") for the new Evangelical parish.

In 1814, Kleinostheim passed to Bavaria, having belonged before that, since the 10th century, to the Electorate of Mainz.

The council is made up of 20 council members, not counting the mayor.

The community's arms might be described thus: Gules a base wavy argent, above which an oaktree with five leaves Or between a wheel spoked of six and a spade blade in pale of the second.

Kleinostheim lies between the Main and the Spessart, which is well known for its oaks. This is symbolized by the oaktree in the arms. The wavy base refers to the community's geographical location between the Main and the Spessart. Kleinostheim is a very old community with an agricultural history going back more than twenty centuries. Standing for this is the spade blade, which was actually an archaeological find from Celtic times. The Wheel of Mainz and the tinctures gules and argent (red and silver) are taken from the arms borne by the Electorate of Mainz and recalls the community's former allegiance to this state.

The arms were conferred on 5 June 1975.

= = = Krombach, Bavaria = = =

Krombach is a community in the Aschaffenburg district in the "Regierungsbezirk" of Lower Franconia ("Unterfranken") in Bavaria, Germany and a member of the "Verwaltungsgemeinschaft" (Administrative Community) of Schöllkrippen.

The community lies in the Bavarian Lower Main ("Bayerischer Untermain"). It has only one "Gemarkung" (traditional rural cadastral area), also called Krombach.

The hegemony of the Counts of Schönborn was mediatized in 1806 at the behest of the Principality of Aschaffenburg, with which it passed in 1814 (by this time it had become a department of the Grand Duchy of Frankfurt) to Bavaria. In the course of administrative reform in Bavaria, the current community came into being with the "Gemeindeedikt" (“Municipal Edict”) of 1818. The hereditary court at Krombach was abolished in 1849.

Within municipal limits, 1,501 inhabitants were counted in 1970, 1,772 in 1987, and 2,178 in 2000.

The council is made up of 15 council members, counting the part-time mayor.

The mayor is Reiner Rosenberger (CSU), who in 2002 succeeded Hellmuth Nees (CSU). Mayor Rosenberger was reelected in 2008.

The community’s arms might be described thus: Gules a lion passant Or with a tail forked crowned azure, the base dancetty of three argent, the lion’s gambes on the points of the partition, the chief barry of four of the first and second.

The official German blazon reads: .

The community of Krombach was for the most part under the ownership of the Counts of Rieneck, and it was the seat of a court. The Counts died out in 1559 and the community’s ownership passed to the Archbishopric of Mainz. In 1666, the court was acquired by the family of the Barons – later Counts – of Schönborn. The community became the hub of the Counts’ holdings in the upper Kahl valley. The lion, drawn from the Counts’ arms, recalls the time when they held sway. The barry (that is, horizontally striped) chief was taken from the arms borne by the earlier lords, the Counts of Rieneck. The tinctures gules and argent (red and silver) stem from the arms borne by Electoral Mainz, to which the community also once belonged.

The community has borne the arms since 8 June 1967.

Municipal tax revenue in 1999 amounted to €871,000, of which €124,000 (net, converted) was business tax revenue.

According to official statistics, there were 78 workers on the social welfare contribution rolls working in producing businesses in 1998, and in trade and transport 78. There were 748 such workers working from home. Nobody is employed in processing businesses. Six businesses are in construction, and furthermore, in 1999, there were 29 agricultural operations with a working area of 490 ha, of which 264 ha was cropland and 214 ha was meadowland.

In 1999, the following institutions were to be found in the community:

= = = Laufach = = =

Laufach is a community in the Aschaffenburg district in the "Regierungsbezirk" of Lower Franconia ("Unterfranken") in Bavaria, Germany.

The community lies in northwest Bavaria east of Aschaffenburg. Laufach lies in the heart of the Vorspessart (range) and stretches through its outlying centre of Hain into the High Spessart. The community's elevation ranges from 170 to 500 m above sea level.

Laufach's "Ortsteile" are Frohnhofen (898 inhabitants), Hain (1,177 inhabitants) and Laufach (3,204 inhabitants).

In 1084, Laufach, which was originally known as Laufahe, had its first documentary mention in an obituary from Saints Peter and Alexander collegiate church in Aschaffenburg. Laufach's name came from the stream on which it was built. Over the years, the community's name has changed many times, from Laufache in 1182, to Loifahe in 1191, to Loupha in 1348, to Lauffach around 1528 and 1624 before settling on Laufach in the early 19th century.

The Laufach valley was settled under the protection of the Counts of Rieneck, who already held the "Vogtei" (position of "Vogt") from the Archbishopric of Mainz and the collegiate church in Aschaffenburg. On the Rieneck free court in 1380 – where "Schöffen" (roughly “lay jurists”) from Laufach were specifically mentioned – settlers sat as free citizens.

In the mid-14th century, glassmakers were brought into service in the Spessart with special incentives. Since they had to leave the forest from Martinmas (11 November) until Easter, they sought winter dwellings in Hain and Laufach. Many of these workers settled here owing to family ties. Already by 1469, there was a mine near the "Weyber" palace ("Schloss Weyber", "Weyberhöfe"). In "Unserer lieber Frauen Teil", presumably part of the "Liebesgrund", copper was mined. After the Thirty Years' War, ores were mined and smelted.

In the mid-18th century, in the area of today's sporting ground, a hammer mill was built. The building of a railway in the years 1850 to 1854 had a very positive effect on the community's industrial development. With the railway station, an important transport link with Aschaffenburg and the whole Lower Main was created. In the course of time, the ironworks became an integrated industry in which both the mining and the processing were done, yielding a finished product.

Even trades and crafts were important to Laufach quite early on. From earlier craft businesses grew highly productive operations.

In 1866, shortly after the Austro-Prussian War broke out, the engagements near Frohnhofen between Prussia and troops of the German Confederation took place during the Campaign of the Main ("Mainfeldzug").

In 1984, the community of Laufach celebrated 900 years of existence.

Frohnhofen and the outlying centre of Hain developed into purely residential areas in which most inhabitants earned their income in the industrial and commercial businesses in Laufach, Aschaffenburg and the surrounding area. Laufach's economy underwent a shift from agriculture to industry.

To further foster commercial-industrial growth, the Laufach-Ost commercial area was developed, covering an eight-hectare area between Laufach and Hain. Another such area was developed in 2001 on a four-hectare area between Laufach and Frohnhofen.

There are a Catholic church and an Evangelical church in the core municipality. Until 1184 the people of the Laufach valley had to go to the Aschaffenburg Mother of God parish for church services, then from 1184 to 1250 to Bessenbach, and then from 1250 to 1810 to Sailauf.

On 28 November 1810, Laufach, together with Hain, was raised to a double parish. In 1812, a bigger church was built, which then stood on the Kirchberg until 1962. In 1964, on the same spot, a new church building was consecrated to Saint Thomas More.

In 1995, Saint Peter's Evangelical Church ("Petruskirche") celebrated its 90th birthday.

Before the Thirty Years' War began in 1618, Laufach was a village with 76 "Unterthanen" (a word that usually means “subjects” in German, but in this case it means “men or families”) – all together 300 inhabitants. After the disastrous war, according to a description of properties from 1651, there were 12 men and 33 “hearth places” (houses). Through an energetic promotional effort by the Elector of Mainz, the depopulated Spessart was newly settled with soldiers, craftsmen and foreigners. The old family names had disappeared and new ones made their appearance. In 1668, Laufach had 72 households and 105 inhabitants.

Until Napoleonic times, Laufach belonged to Electoral Mainz. From 1803 to 1810 it belonged to the Principality of Aschaffenburg, then passing until 1813 to the Grand Duchy of Frankfurt. Since 1814, Laufach has been on Bavarian soil. At that time, Laufach and Frohnhofen counted all together 115 houses with 161 households and 1,451 inhabitants. The inflow of those driven from their homelands by the Second World War brought the population up to 2,552 in 1950. In 1967 there were more than 3,000 inhabitants in Laufach, among them 56 foreigners. With municipal reform in 1978 and the attendant amalgamation of the community of Hain im Spessart, the population rose to 4,545 all told, 2,995 from Laufach, 687 from Frohnhofen and 863 from Hain. In mid-2001, 5,267 persons were living in Laufach, among them 580 foreigners from 42 different nations.

The council is made up of 20 council members, counting the full-time mayor, Valentin Weber (Freie Wähler).

The community's arms might be described thus: Gules a sprig of three oakleaves Or, in base a sledge and a cross-peen hammer in saltire argent.

The oakleaves shown in the arms refer to Laufach's location in the Spessart, which is rich in oaks. The crossed tools in the base are symbolic of the old iron mines and ironworks.

The arms were conferred on 19 September 1969.

The former community of Hain once bore its own arms.

Laufach can be reached via the "Bundesstraße" 26, by rail (Laufach station on the Aschaffenburg-Würzburg line, served by the Regionalbahn) and on the nearby A 3.

Laufach is located at one end of the Spessart Ramp of the Main-Spessart railway.

= = = Mainaschaff = = =

Mainaschaff is a community in the Aschaffenburg district in the "Regierungsbezirk" of Lower Franconia ("Unterfranken") in Bavaria, Germany. It has a population of around 8,700.

The community lies near the boundary with Hesse, to the west just outside Aschaffenburg. It is located on the Main’s right bank, and on the small river Aschaff, which empties here into the Main. This confluence gave the community its name.

In 1184, Mainaschaff had its first documentary mention as a holding in Pope Lucius III’s privilege for the Kollegiatsstift at Aschaffenburg. In the early 12th century, the small village, which was made up mainly of farms, belonged to the "Stift" of St. Peter and Alexander in Aschaffenburg. The inhabitants, who made their living mostly by growing fruit and fishing, had to pay ongoing tribute to the "Stift", and also perform compulsory labour for it.

Only in 1872 did Mainaschaff become a self-administering community.

The council is made up of 20 council members, not counting the mayor.

The community’s arms might be described thus: A pall reversed wavy argent, dexter barry of six Or and gules, sinister gules a demi-wheel of the first divided palewise the rim towards sinister, the base azure.

The pall reversed (that is, upside-down Y-shape) symbolizes the forks of the rivers Main and Aschaff, which, in a way, also makes the arms canting, as the community’s name is drawn from a fusion of these two rivers’ names. The stripes on the dexter (armsbearer’s right, viewer’s left) side come from the arms formerly borne by the Counts of Rieneck, to whom parts of the community historically belonged. The halved wheel comes from the Electorate of Mainz’s coat of arms, the community having belonged to this state until 1803. The tinctures azure (blue) in the escutcheon’s base and argent (silver) in the pall reversed are Bavaria’s colours, which have flown over Mainaschaff since 1816.

The arms were conferred on Mainaschaff on 28 August 1968.

Mainaschaff is home to the "Puppenschiff" marionette theatre.

Also found in the community is the "Maintalhalle" (“Main Valley Hall”) in which cultural and sporting events take place. The hall is known for its musical productions by the Aschaffenburg district "Fachakademie für Sozialpädagogik" (“Professional Academy for Social Work”) and the Edelweiß Mainaschaff singing club.

The "Kapellenberg", a big hill formerly serving as a vineyard from the 14th century onwards, with a chapel and a statue of Mary, is said to have been a pilgrimage site for the last hundred years, and is still the destination of many processions. Public institutions (a playground and others) have also made it into a well known outing destination. On this hill is found the entrance to an old grotto that nevertheless was never open to the public until this century. Winegrowing began on the hill once again in 2005.

The "Mainparksee", a now 240 000 m² lake which came out of building work on the new Autobahn in the 1950s from a so-called "Baggersee" (a lake arising from an old quarry), offers a long-term camping ground and bathing. Since 2005, one of Germany’s biggest sauna areas has been located on the lands at the Mainparksee. It has been open to the public as a recreation area.

= = = Mespelbrunn = = =

Mespelbrunn is a community in the Aschaffenburg district in the "Regierungsbezirk" of Lower Franconia ("Unterfranken") in Bavaria, Germany and a member of the "Verwaltungsgemeinschaft" (municipal association) of Mespelbrunn, whose seat is in Heimbuchenthal.

It is the site of Mespelbrunn Castle, one of the most famous landmarks of the Spessart region, and of the "Wallfahrtskirche Hessenthal", for more than 700 years the destination of a Christian pilgrimage.

The community lies in the Spessart hill range, a "Mittelgebirge". Most of the houses are located in the valley of the Elsava, but the municipal territory extends into the wooded hills, especially to the east.

The community was formed out of the former municipalities of Hessenthal and Mespelbrunn. Today, it has three "Ortsteile" (, Mespelbrunn and "Schloss Mespelbrunn") on two "Gemarkungen" (cadastral areas), Hessenthal and Mespelbrunn.
