Lohrhaupten is a district of the municipality of Flörsbachtal in East Hesse's Main-Kinzig district.
Lohrhaupten is 347 m above sea level, 15 km southeast of Bad Orb. The bedrock here is the red sandstone of the Spessart. Lohrhaupten is located on the historic long-distance trade route Birkenhainer Straße. The nearby "Bayrische Schanz" is an old customs house on this street. Not far from the village is the Hermannskoppe, at 567 m the highest elevation in the Hessian Spessart.
The Lohrbach, the upper reaches of the Lohr, which flows into the Main in Lohr am Main, has its source in Lohrhaupten.
The oldest surviving mention of Lohrhaupten dates back to 1057. The parish documented here is therefore the oldest documented in the Spessart.Source: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lohrhaupten
