Map of Mainberg (Schonungen)
background
Two things shaped Mainberg through the centuries: the castle, which is picturesquely situated above the Main, and the viticulture, which can be documented for the first time in the 13th century. In modern times the castle was owned by the Schweinfurt industrialist families Sattler (1822-1901) and Sachs (1915-1955) as well as the industrialist Alexander Erbslöh (1901-1915) from Barmen.

First mentioned in a document in 1245, Meyenberg Castle was owned by the Count of Henneberg. The complex, which was expanded into a castle, was given its present-day appearance from 1480 by Countess Margarete, a born Duchess of Braunschweig-Lüneburg (coat of arms in the upper courtyard), with the three mighty stepped gables. The princely court of Margarete (died 1509) represented a heyday for the castle.
