Geography
Location
Hafenlohr lies in the Würzburg Region, roughly 3 km from Marktheidenfeld. It is located on the confluence of the rivers Hafenlohr and Main.
The community has the following Gemarkungen (traditional rural cadastral areas): Hafenlohr, Windheim, Fürstlich Löwenstein'scher Park.
History
Hafenlohr was mentioned first in 1324 but its origins (and those of Windheim just to the northwest) probably go back to around the year 1000.[2] It was a centre of the pottery industry. The area was property of the Kloster Neustadt since the late 8th century.[2] From the mid-12th century it belonged to the Counts of Rieneck until their male line died out in 1333 and the property reverted to the Hochstift of the Bishop of Würzburg.[2]
As part of the Oberamt of Rothenfels of the Prince-Bishopric of Würzburg, Hafenlohr passed at Secularization to the Counts of Löwenstein-Wertheim. By mediatization in 1806 it passed to the Principality of Aschaffenburg, with which it passed in 1814 to Bavaria. In the course of administrative reform in Bavaria, the current community came into being with the Gemeindeedikt (“Municipal Edict”) of 1818.
