Frammersbach is a market community in the Main-Spessart district in the Regierungsbezirk of Lower Franconia (Unterfranken) in Bavaria, Germany.

In the early modern period, people from Frammersbach achieved international renown as drivers of wagons on the most important trans-European trade routes.

On all other sides, the village is surrounded by the Heinrichsthaler Forst [de] (located in the neighbouring Aschaffenburg district).

Through the 8th century, this was gradually expanded into a Zehnthof (tithe court) and fortified by an earthen rampart.

[3][4] A window on village life is found in the Sechserbuch[6] – a book mainly about Frammersbach's Feldgeschworene, the traditional boundary keepers who decided where the community’s limits were and who were charged with marking them – which describes the state of affairs in a Spessart community in the waning years of the Middle Ages and the onset of the modern era, in particular the records of the decisions of the village court between 1572 and 1764.

In that early modern period — beginning in the 15th century — carters from Frammersbach dominated the long distance trade on two of the most important European routes: from Nuremberg to Antwerp and from Leipzig to Frankfurt (following the Via Regia).

[7] During the Thirty Years' War, the village was sacked by Swedish troops and was temporarily completely depopulated in 1635.

[4] In 1803, with the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss, the former Amt of the Archbishopric of Mainz passed, along with the village, to Prince Primate Karl von Dalberg's newly formed Principality of Aschaffenburg (1803–10), with which in 1814 it passed to the Kingdom of Bavaria under the terms of the Treaties of Paris, having previously been part of the Grand Duchy of Frankfurt (1810-4).

[4] In the 20th century, home tailoring became an important industry in Frammersbach, as did a clothing factory owned by Alfons Müller-Wipperfürth [de].

The community’s arms might be described thus: Per pale argent a waggoner vert and gules in chief a wheel of the first spoked of six and in base three closets Or.

In both areas was an Eselsweg (“ass’s way”) and in each was a village with a greater than average number of people working in goods transport, Frammersbach in the Spessart and Reischdorf (now called Rusová) in the Ore Mountains.
