The Dreifrankenstein stands at the geographical point where the three Franconian administrative districts of Upper, Middle and Lower Franconia clash. Since this boundary point has shifted in the course of the territorial reform of 1972, there are now two Dreifrankensteine.
At this point is the old Dreifrankenstein, which was set in 1892.
The new Dreifrankenstein (set 1979) is located about 7 km as the crow flies southwest of Heuchelheim.

When Franconia was incorporated into Bavaria in 1806, the new rulers divided Franconia into the administrative districts of Obermain, Untermain and Rezatkreis. The name Franconia should disappear from the map for all time. When the displeasure of the Franconian population grew more and more, the administrative districts were renamed in the current districts of Upper, Middle and Lower Franconia in 1837.
