The oldest parish founding in the Spessart that we know of today is documented with the consecration of the church in Lohrhaupten in 1057. Its origins are linked to the strategic importance of Lohrhaupten for the monastery of St. Peter and Alexander in Aschaffenburg and for the archbishopric of Mainz, to which the parish was subordinate.

As the northern outpost of the Spessart forest, Lohrhaupten was an important element in securing power in this region. On the one hand, it served as a fortification opposite the Fulda monastery, and on the other, the place, which initially only included a few farms, was to serve as a rest area on the important supra-regional trade route of the Birkenhainer Straße.

The church of St. Matthew in Lohrhaupten was re-consecrated in 1057. It is therefore the oldest known parish in the entire Spessart. It was determined that all existing and new places would be subordinate to this parish. This included today's Frammersbach. Since there was no church there, the believers had to make the arduous journey to the church in Lohr-haupten. This route was over 10 kilometers long one way and probably ran through the forest area still known today as "Haurain". Some of the names there today still indicate this. It was not until over 300 years later, in 1416, that Frammersbach received its own parish rights.
