Foreword Forest Office Bischbrunn: Administrative history: The Forest Office Bischbrunn has its roots already in the 17th/18th century. For the area of the Spessart, a Oberförster was responsible at that time, to whom individual precinct-försters were subordinated. Bischbrunn belonged to these districts. However, after these areas came to the Kingdom of Bavaria at the beginning of the 19th century, a fundamental reorganization of the entire forestry service took place on 22.12.1821. Among other things, the Bischbrunn Forestry Office was created, but its seat was in city tents. To it belonged the districts Altenbuch, Krausenbach, Rohrbrunn, Torhaus Aurora and the municipal districts Collenberg and Michelrieth. The changes in the ruling conditions after the revolution of 1848 necessitated a new forest organisation, which came into force on 1.7.1853. The Bischbrunn Forestry Office now became the Stadtprozelten Forestry Office. With renewed reorganisation of the forestry in Bavaria, own forestry offices were created from the former hunting grounds with the execution order of 23.6.1885. The Bischbrunn forestry office was established with its external staff in the Aurora and Zwieselmühle gatehouse. After the first dissolution of the forestry office Marktheidenfeld (see Reperotrium 5.1.-58) its places Kreuzwertheim, Röttbach, Ober- und Unterwittbach, Wiebelsbach, Rettersheim, Trennfeld, Altfeld Michelrieth, Kredenbach, Esselbach, Glasofen, Marienbrunn, Hafenlohr and Windheim were placed under the administration of the forestry office Bischbrunn. This forestry office existed until the forest reform of 1973. 1974 it was finally dissolved and its area of responsibility was subordinated to the forestry office of Marktheidenfeld, whereby the forestry office of Marktheidenfeld, re-established in 1973, for a short time (until 1.3.1975) even bore the name "Forstamt Bischbrunn mit dem Sitz in Marktheidenfeld" (see chronicle of the forestry office of Marktheidenfeld 1885 - 1985). Only with the final renaming in forestry office Marktheidenfeld there was no more forestry office Bischbrunn. A large part of the Spessart Game Park also belonged to his territory, which was created as early as the 18th century for the hunting care of the authorities and was only finally abolished around 1945. Its care and administration, which were not unproblematic, were the responsibility of the forestry office. Inventory formation: Some of the existing older files were already begun in the administration of the Bischbrunn district before the establishment of the forestry office and then continued at the forestry office. However, they all end in 1974. Hardly any files were kept at the forestry office in Marktheidenfeld. A file repertory has been preserved for the older files. All files available here, which were completed before the introduction of the standard file plan of the forest administration (1953), were assigned to this old file plan. The more recent transactions have been adapted to the unit file plan. to the State Archives: The files were largely taken over by the State Archives from the Marktheidenfeld Forestry Office in 2005. Of course, earlier smaller file duties were incorporated. Instructions for use: The files were divided into two groups, those which could be assigned to the older file plan and those which could be assigned to the unit file plan. In the case of research, the finding aids of the forestry office (ä.O.) Stadtprozelten with its associated districts and those of the forestry office Marktheidenfeld should be consulted in any case. In the registers, only the locations were taken into account to a large extent. Many keywords result from the headings of the file plans, which are in each case prebound.
