Gorxheimertal

Gorxheimertal is a municipality in the Bergstraße district in Hesse, Germany.

The nearest big town is Weinheim, and the way there also marks the division between the Odenwald and the Hessisches Ried (part of the Upper Rhine valley), as well as the boundary between Hesse and Baden-Württemberg.

Through the community’s namesake Gorxheim valley – it is called the Gorxheimertal in German – flows the Grundelbach.

About 900, Unter-Flockenbach had its first documentary mention as a Waldhufendorf ("forest village"), followed by Trösel’s in 1071 as an offenes Reihen-Hufendorf (a similar concept).

In 1803, the valley became part of the Grand Duchy of Hesse, where it was administered within the Abtsteinach region (Bezirk).
