The current place name “Karlstein am Main” goes back to an old boundary stone on the former district boundary between the districts of Dettingen and Großwelzheim on the banks of the Main. It is mentioned under the Latin name “lapis Caroli” in various early documents and maps, for the first time around 900 AD in the Aschaffenburg forest description. According to legend, Charlemagne is said to have crossed the Main at this point during his stays at the Seligenstadt monastery in order to go on hunting trips in the Spessart.

The Karlstein was considered lost for a long time. In 2010, based on a tip from Edwin Hussi, Mayor Winfried Bruder discovered a boundary stone on the boundary between Dettingen and Großwelzheim, to the left of federal highway 8 in the direction of Kahl, that corresponds to the boundary description from 1699.
