 Most of the villages of the upper Kahlgrund then passed to the Principality of Aschaffenburg.Geiselbach, on the other hand, as a Seligenstadt Monastery holding, passed into ownership of the Landgrave of Hesse, who moved the Vogtei administration from Geiselbach to Seligenstadt.In 1811, the three villages were united with the Grand Ducal Hessian "Amt" in Alzenau, which itself became Bavarian in 1816.
