Miltenberg is an administrative district in Bavaria, Germany. It is bounded by (from the north and clockwise) the city of Aschaffenburg, the districts of Aschaffenburg and Main-Spessart, and the states of Baden-Württemberg (districts of Main-Tauber and Neckar-Odenwald) and Hesse (districts of Odenwaldkreis and Darmstadt-Dieburg). ==History== During the Middle Ages there was continuous fighting between the Archbishops of Mainz and the Counts of Rieneck. Both attempted to rule the region and erected castles in the Spessart hills. Later other tiny counties became involved in these fights as well. During the 13th century the cities along the Main River emerged. Due to the trade on the river their wealth grew, and this became a very prosperous region. Prosperity ended abruptly in the Thirty Years' War, when the area was devastated and depopulated. In 1803 the clerical states of Germany were dissolved, among them the bishopric principality of Mainz. Until 1816 the state of Bavaria managed to annex the entire region. The district of Miltenberg was established in 1972 by merging the former districts of Miltenberg and Obernburg. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Miltenberg (district)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
