This page contains Notgeld banknotes that were issued in 1923 by the municipalities of Aschaffenburg. Aschaffenburg is a city in the German state Bavaria. It is located on the right bank of the river Main and its confluence with the narrow Aschaff river, near the foot of the Spessart. Aschaffenburg's population is about 66,800.
History of Aschaffenburg
Aschaffenburg, called in the Middle Ages Ascapha or Ascaphaburg, was originally a Roman settlement. Roman legions had their station here, and on the ruins of their castrum the Frankish mayors of the palace built a castle. Saint Boniface erected a chapel to Saint Martin, and founded a Benedictine monastery. A stone bridge over the Main was built by Archbishop Willigis in 989. In 1292 a synod was held here, and in 1474 an imperial diet, preliminary to that of Vienna, in which the concordat was decided which has therefore sometimes called the Aschaffenburg Concordat.
The town suffered greatly during the Thirty Years' War, being held in turn by the various belligerents. In 1842-1849, King Ludwig I of Bavaria built himself to the west of the town a country house, Pompejanum, so called from its being an imitation of the house of Castor and Pollux at Pompeii. In 1866 the Prussians inflicted a severe defeat on the Austrians in the neighbourhood during the Austro-Prussian War.
The principality of Aschaffenburg, deriving its name from the city, comprehended an area of 1694 km². It formed part of the electorate of the Archbishop of Mainz, and in 1803 was made over to the chancellor, Archbishop Charles of Dalberg. In 1806 it was annexed to the grand duchy of Frankfurt; and in 1814 was transferred to Bavaria, in virtue of a treaty concluded between that power and Austria. Within Unterfranken, it now forms a part of the Bundesland of Bavaria.
