Former border of the Hrafen von Rieneck and the Elector of Mainz

The "Hockenruhe", located on the east bank of the Aubach, only became part of the Wiesthal community in 1884. Before that, the hamlet belonged to the Frammersbach community and parish and was called "Wiesthal auf der Ruhe". The reason for this goes back to the 13th century, when the Counts of Rieneck and the Archbishopric of Mainz fought for supremacy in the Spessart between 1260 and 1271. The conflict ended in defeat for Rieneck.

After 1300, the Counts of Rieneck built villages along the Aubach, the western border of the county, in order to secure this border (Frammersbach 1317, Wiesen 1339). Shortly afterwards, Mainz settled glassmakers on the west bank of the Aubach, who were to colonize the area for Mainz. In 1325, Ludwig the Younger of Rieneck sold a farm called "Wysintau" (probably Wiesthal) to the monastery of St. Peter and Alexander in Aschaffenburg. In 1333, there was apparently a division between Rieneck and Mainz, whereupon Wiesthal on the Ruhe came to Rieneck. It is also possible, however, that Mainz established a counter-foundation on the west bank of the Aubach.

The period from 1389 to 1559 was used to preserve and secure the area remaining to the Rieneckers. In 1477, Mainz elevated Wiesthal to a parish, which was probably related to the fact that Mainz wanted to consolidate its ecclesiastical and sovereign organization in the border area with Rieneck. Wiesthal on the Ruhe belonged to the Frammersbach tithe and to the Lohr winery, into which twelve and a half malters of tithe oats from the Wüsendhal on the Ruhe, on the Rieneck side, fell in 1558. When Philipp III of Rieneck was childless in 1559 died, this meant the end of the County of Rieneck. Wiesthal on the Ruhe fell back to the feudal lord Mainz.
