Mönchberg

Mönchberg is a market community in the Miltenberg district in the Regierungsbezirk of Lower Franconia (Unterfranken) in Bavaria, Germany.

Mönchberg borders in the west on Klingenberg and Erlenbach (with the outlying centres of Mechenhard and Streit), in the north on Elsenfeld and Eschau, in the east on Collenberg (on the Main) and in the south on Röllbach.

Until after the Second World War, Schmachtenberg's economy was wholly agriculturally based, and in 1978, the formerly self-administering community was amalgamated with Mönchberg.

Because it has been recognized as a climatic spa (Luftkurort) and because of its location in the Spessart, Mönchberg is a popular destination for hikers and tourists.

The council is made up of 14 council members with seats apportioned thus (2020 election): The community's arms might be described thus: Per pale, dexter argent a pikestaff issuant from base sable bladed azure and tasselled Or, sinister gules in chief a crown Or, in base a wheel spoked of six of the first.
