Aus Wikipedia. Nicht dargestellt. Auszug: Marktheidenfeld is a town in the Main-Spessart district in the Regierungsbezirk of Lower Franconia (Unterfranken) in Bavaria, Germany and the seat (but not a member) of the Verwaltungsgemeinschaft (Administrative Community) of Marktheidenfeld. The town lies 24 km west of Wrzburg at the Mainviereck (Main Square) on the eastern side of the Spessart (range), geologically on the seam between the Spessart red sandstone area and the Muschelkalk area of the Frnkische Platte (a flat, mostly agricultural region), which between the Main Square and the Maindreieck (Main Triangle) is known as the Marktheidenfelder Platte.

From 1632 to 1634, after the Swedes' victories in the Thirty Years' War, the town was once again Protestant, albeit for only a short time, for the town soon passed to the Princely Electorate (Hochstift) of Wrzburg.
