The neighbouring communities are (from the north, clockwise): Bessenbach, the unincorporated areas and , Heimbuchenthal, Leidersbach and the unincorpoared area . The latter two are located in the neighbouring district of Miltenberg. |
The foundation of the villages Hessenthal and Neudorf (after 1939: Mespelbrunn) was the result of settlement activities in the Spessart by the Archbishops of Mainz and the Counts of Rieneck, respectively. Between the two villages ran the territorial border between these lords. |
The pilgrimage to Hessenthal (see church below) goes back at least to 1293. It was established by Mainz as a response to the Rienecks' foundation of "Kloster Himmelthal". In the Middle Ages, the Elsava valley and Hessenthal were located on the juncture of two important long distance trade routes, the "Via Publica" through the Spessart to the Main crossing at Lengfurt (today a part of Triefenstein) and the early-medieval "Salzweg" from Worms. |
The west-east route from Aschaffenburg to Würzburg gained in importance in the 18th century, resulting in the establishment by Mainz of a fortified road through the Spessart and an overland mail station at Hessenthal around 1800. It prospered until a new route from Lohr to Aschaffenburg via Hain (now part of Laufach) was established. In 1854, the Ludwig Western Railway was built, shifting transit traffic to the railway. |
The inn that served as mail station ("Zur Post") was visited in 1826 by Wilhelm Hauff and is one of several possible inspirations for the inn in his novella "Das Wirtshaus im Spessart", later to become a successful film ("The Spessart Inn"). |
The council is made up of 14 council members, not counting the mayor. |
The community’s arms might be described thus: Gules the castle portal of Mespelbrunn argent surmounted above the lintel by an inescutcheon azure a bend of the second surmounted by three annulets of the third, from base issuant into the gateway arch a hazel twig growing palewise with two leaves and one nut of the second. |
The arms were conferred in 1986 and show the castle entrance of the family Echter with their family coat of arms in the inescutcheon. The hazel twig stands for Hessenthal, whose name was once "Haseltal" ("Hazeldale"). The tinctures gules and argent (red and silver) are taken from the arms borne by the Electorate of Mainz. |
Mespelbrunn earns its livelihood above all from tourism, and is known for Mespelbrunn Castle ("Wasserschloss Mespelbrunn"), expanded beginning in 1551 by the Echter family. In Mespelbrunn and at the moated castle, several scenes of the 1950s German classic film "The Spessart Inn" were shot. |
A further point of interest is the three-naved "", a pilgrimage church, in the "Ortsteil" of Hessenthal featuring: |
The chapel, which was where the pietà was originally kept, is located around 1 kilometer northwest of the "Wallfahrtskirche" close to an intersection of two ancient roads: the "Salzweg" from Worms and the Via Publica from Brussels to Prague (the local stretch connected Aschaffenburg to Würzburg). The current structure dates from 1670 and has been largely unchanged since then. |
= = = IROC XXVII = = = |
The 27th season of the Crown Royal International Race of Champions began on Friday, February 14, 2003 at Daytona International Speedway. The roster included 12 drivers from five separate racing leagues. The first race saw Mark Martin tie an IROC record 11 career wins, tying him with Al Unser, Jr. and Dale Earnhardt. Rookie Kurt Busch won in only his second start in race 2 after finishing second at Daytona. At Chicagoland, Mike Bliss became the first driver representing the Craftsman Truck Series to win a race in IROC competition. Jimmie Johnson won the final race of the year for his first career IROC victory. Busch clinched the title with his fourth-place showing in the race, as Mark Martin and Mike Bliss, his closest competitors, finished fifth and tenth, respectively. |
The roster of drivers and final points standings were as follows: |
= = = Rothenbuch = = = |
Rothenbuch is a community in the Aschaffenburg district in the "Regierungsbezirk" of Lower Franconia ("Unterfranken") in Bavaria, Germany. It has a population of around 1,700. |
Rothenbuch lies in the region "Bayerischer Untermain" (Bavarian Lower Main), in Germany's largest consecutive broadleaf woodland, the Spessart. Rothenbuch is located between the Frankfurt Rhine Main Region, centred on Frankfurt, and the Würzburg region. The nearest international airport is Frankfurt Airport and the nearest InterCityExpress stop is the railway station at Aschaffenburg. |
In 1318, Rothenbuch had its first documentary mention in the words "zuo den Rodenboychen" when the Archbishop of Mainz, Peter of Aspelt and the Bishop of Würzburg, Gottfried III of Hohenlohe, concluded an agreement here dealing with cooperation on security questions. |
In 1342, building work began on what was initially likely a hunting lodge at the source of the Hafenlohr. In the German Peasants' War in 1525, this "Schloss" (castle) in Rothenbuch was heavily damaged or destroyed. In 1566, it was not only rebuilt but also expanded on Elector of Mainz Daniel Brendel von Homburg’s orders. |
A first drawing of Rothenbuch is to be found on the oldest extant map of the Spessart, the so-called "Pfinzigkarte" from 1594. |
Rothenbuch achieved its greatest political importance when the "Amtskellerei Rothenbuch", a financial and administrative authority for 14 places in the High Spessart, was established. In 1782, Rothenbuch was declared the seat of the "Amtsvogtei". |
The Electoral Mainz "Amt" passed along with this under the 1803 "Reichsdeputationshauptschluss" to the newly formed Principality of Aschaffenburg, with which it passed in 1814 (by this time it had become a department of the Grand Duchy of Frankfurt) to the Kingdom of Bavaria. |
On 3 June 1814, Rothenbuch became the seat of a Royal Bavarian Court. In 1879, the Court was dissolved and Rothenbuch was incorporated into the "Bezirksamt" and later District ("Landkreis") of Lohr. In 1972, this district was abolished and Rothenbuch was grouped into the current Aschaffenburg district. From 1977 to 1993, Rothenbuch formed a "Verwaltungsgemeinschaft" (municipal association) with Waldaschaff and Weibersbrunn. On 1 January 1994, Rothenbuch regained its municipal autonomy. |
Within the municipal area, 993 inhabitants were counted in 1900, 1,476 in 1950 and 1,975 in 2007. |
Municipal tax revenue in 2007 amounted to €1,000,000, of which business taxes (net) made up €155,000. The community's per capita debt amounted to 0. |
According to official statistics, there were 47 workers on the social welfare contribution rolls working in agriculture and forestry in 1998. In producing businesses this was 118, and in trade and transport 25. In other areas, 48 workers on the social welfare contribution rolls were employed, and 665 such workers worked from home. There was one processing business. Five businesses were in construction (2 in the industry itself and 3 others in related fields), and furthermore, there are 2 agricultural operations with a meadowland area of 157 ha. |
The statistics for 2003 show that there were 543 workers commuting to jobs elsewhere, whereas 111 commuted to jobs in the community. |
The council is made up of 13 council members, counting the full-time mayor. |
Elections in March 2014: |
Since 2002, the mayor has been Gerhard Aulenbach (SPD). At the municipal elections on 2 March 2008, he was confirmed in office with 97.5% of the vote. |
The community's arms might be described thus: Party per fess, Or dexter a beech eradicated and sinister a stag's attires gules, gules a wheel spoked of six argent. |
The Wheel of Mainz refers to the slightly less than 500 years in which Rothenbuch belonged to the Archbishopric of Mainz. The beechtree and the hart's antlers symbolize the forest and the hunt respectively. |
The castle had its first mention in an extant document from 3 July 1318. Found today on the site is a former hunting castle that was built to Daniel Brendel von Homburg's plans in 1567. The four-winged complex features a rectangular inner courtyard with a polygonal stair tower in the north wing. That the castle formerly had a moat can be clearly seen in the two access bridges. At the castle rises the Hafenlohr, which once filled the moat and also the nearby ponds that teemed with fish. The castle served as a central administrative seat in the Spessart and was for more than two centuries the lawcourt for 14 surrounding communities. Since 1994, the building has been used as a hotel. Since 2017 the castle no longer a hotel, but is used by the French company Châteauform' as an event venue for business meetings, corporate retreats and conferences. |
The "Historic Christmas Market" is held on the first weekend in Advent, with more than 15,000 visitors. |
Rothenbuch lies 7 km from Autobahn A 3 (Weibersbrunn interchange). "Bundesstraße" 26 from Aschaffenburg to Würzburg runs by 3 km from the community. Rothenbuch is served by buses from Aschaffenburg and Lohr. |
In 1999, the following institutions were in the community: |
= = = Sailauf = = = |
Sailauf is a municipality in the Aschaffenburg district in the "Regierungsbezirk" of Lower Franconia ("Unterfranken") in Bavaria, Germany. It has a population of around 3,600. |
The community lies in the area of the Spessart (range) known as "Vorspessart" near Aschaffenburg. It is located on the Sailaufbach, a tributary of the Laufach. |
Sailauf has two "Ortsteile": |
In addition the hamlet is part of Sailauf. It consists of an industrial area near the Bundesautobahn 3 and the "". Moreover, the municipal territory includes 19 small exclaves to the northeast (see map) surrounded by the Sailaufer Forst. |
Sailauf borders on (from the north, clockwise): Blankenbach, Sommerkahl, the unincorporated area , Laufach, Bessenbach and Hösbach. |
Sailauf is among the "Vorspessart's" oldest settlements. As early as 1089, the original parish church in the upper Aschaff valley stood here. |
In 1189, the lordly estate of "Sigilovf(e)", meaning "glistening brook", and out of whose name arose the placename Sailauf, had its first documentary mention. In the 13th century, Sailauf was for a short time ruled by the Counts of Rieneck, who built the castle "Landesere" on the nearby . In 1265, the Archbishop of Mainz, built the hunting lodge "castrum vivarium", which was later renamed "Weyberhof". When the Plague raged in Europe in 1349, the "Vorspessart" was all but emptied of people. Newcomers later came to Sailauf from the Steigerwald. In 1552, "Schloss Weyberhof" was destroyed. |
In the Thirty Years' War (1618–1648), Sailauf was almost completely destroyed. In 1789, Saint Vitus's Church ("Sankt-Vitus-Kirche") was built above Sailauf, believed to be the fourth church built on this spot. In 1803, lordship of Mainz over the "Vorspessart" came to an end and in 1814, Aschaffenburg and its surrounding area passed to the Kingdom of Bavaria. |

= = = Methylene bridge = = = |
In organic chemistry, a methylene bridge, methylene spacer, or methanediyl group is any part of a molecule with formula --; namely, a carbon atom bound to two hydrogen atoms and connected by single bonds to two other distinct atoms in the rest of the molecule. It is the repeating unit in the skeleton of the unbranched alkanes. |
A methylene bridge can also act as a bidentate ligand joining two metals in a coordination compound, such as titanium and aluminum in Tebbe's reagent. |
A methylene bridge is often called a methylene group or simply methylene, as in "methylene chloride" (dichloromethane ). However, the term methylene group (or "methylidene") properly applies to the group when it is connected to the rest of the molecule by a double bond, giving it chemical properties very distinct from those of a bridging group. |
Compounds possessing a methylene bridge located between two strong electron withdrawing groups (such as nitro, carbonyl or nitrile groups) are sometimes called active methylene compounds. Treatment of these with strong bases can form enolates or carbanions, which are often used in organic synthesis. Examples include the Knoevenagel condensation and the malonic ester synthesis. |
Examples of compounds which contain methylene bridges include: |

= = = Nylon Pink = = = |
Nylon Pink is a travel & fashion magazine and former rock band, calling itself the "only all-Asian American female band in the United States." |
The band was formed in 2008 and based in Hollywood, California, started primarily by Kaila Yu and Katt Lee, and initially comprised Kaila Yu on the lead vocals, Katt Lee (aka Kitt E. Katt) on bass, Theresa Houston on guitar, TJ McDonnell on the drums and DJ Shy (Karen Jin Beck) on the turntables. DJ Shy became an honorary member and joined the group only occasionally. Genn became the rhythm guitarist, with Kiki Wongo joining as lead guitarist and Deb on the drums. The group became a quintet and, more recently, become a three-member band compromising Kiki Wongo as lead guitar and vocals, Katt Lee as bassist, and Yuki Ito (aka YukiBomb) as keyboardist and background vocals. Also, Jamie Scoles has been the drummer of Nylon Pink, and is as such in many of their videos. |
Their style has been described as "Hello Kitty on Acid" and Katy Perry crossed with Shiny Toy Guns with a Harajuku edge. A jewelry and fashion line inspired by their music is known as "Hello Drama," which was founded by Kaila Yu. |
LA Weekly called Nylon Pink one of Los Angeles's “sexiest, glitziest bands”, and Reverb Nation hailed them as the “2011 Artist on the Verge”. They earned a nomination for “Pop Artist of the Year” at the LA Music Awards. |
Nylon Pink has appeared in photospreads for publications such as FHM Spain, FHM Singapore and FHM Malaysia. |
They have toured in Thailand, China and South America. |

= = = Wikipedian in residence = = = |
A Wikipedian in residence or Wikimedian in residence (WiR) is a Wikipedia editor, a Wikipedian (or Wikimedian), who accepts a placement with an institution, typically an art gallery, library, archive, or museum (aka GLAM cultural institutions), learned society, or institute of higher education (such as a university) to facilitate Wikipedia entries related to that institution's mission, encourage and assist it to release material under open licences, and to develop the relationship between the host institution and the Wikimedia community. A Wikipedian in residence generally helps to coordinate Wikipedia-related outreach events between the GLAM and the general public such as editathons. |
Institutions that have hosted a Wikipedian in residence include large institutions like the National Library of Wales, British Museum, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, the British Library, the Smithsonian Institution, the Royal Society of Chemistry, Columbia University, the University of Toronto, the National Library of Norway, and the Federal Archives of Switzerland and smaller venues like the Derby Museum and Art Gallery and The New Art Gallery Walsall in the UK; the Palace of Versailles in France; the Museu Picasso in Spain; and the Children's Museum of Indianapolis, the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library, and the National Archives and Records Administration in the United States. |
In 2010, Australian Liam Wyatt became the first Wikipedian in residence when he volunteered at the British Museum for a period of five weeks. He noted the need for Wikipedia to strengthen partnerships with museums to create the most up-to-date and accurate information, saying "we are doing the same thing for the same reason, for the same people, in the same medium. Let's do it together." The Children's Museum of Indianapolis became involved with the program after Wikipedian Lori Phillips volunteered for a GLAM event in 2010, becoming the second Wikipedian in residence. The third, Benoît Evellin, spent six months at the Palace of Versailles in Versailles, France. The Museu Picasso in Barcelona, Spain and the Derby Museum and Art Gallery in Derby, England were also early adopters of the idea. |
In 2010, the Smithsonian Institution expressed interest in the idea, which led to the hiring of Sarah Stierch in July as Wikipedian in residence. The following year, the National Archives and Records Administration followed suit and hired Dominic McDevitt-Parks, a student from Simmons College, who was pursuing a master's degree in history and archives management, to work at its Archives II location in College Park, Maryland. McDevitt-Parks had been editing Wikipedia since 2004 and was hired for this position by David Ferriero. |
In July 2011 Wikimedia UK engaged Andy Mabbett, an editor since 2003, as an "outreach ambassador" in residence at the Bristol-based wildlife charity Wildscreen, working on the ARKive project. Since then Mabbett has been a Wikipedian in residence at other organisations such as the New Art Gallery Walsall and the Royal Society of Chemistry. |
In January 2013, the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library became the first presidential library to hire a Wikipedian in residence, when they hired Michael Barera, a master's student at the University of Michigan. |
In September 2013, the National Archives and Records Administration became the first organisation to employ a permanent full-time Wikipedian in residence when it hired Dominic McDevitt-Parks to join its Office of Innovation in that capacity. |
In March 2014, Harvard University posted a job listing seeking applicants to be their Wikipedian in residence at the Houghton Library. |
