Viereth lies in the northeast outliers of the Steigerwald (forest) and right on the Main’s south bank.

In 1803, in the course of Secularization and the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss, the Prince-Bishopric of Bamberg was dissolved as a sovereign state and annexed to the Kingdom of Bavaria.

The Prince-Bishopric of Würzburg was likewise abolished in 1803, and here arose once again for a short time the sovereign Duchy of Franconia.

In 1807, as a result of a new administrative order, western Viereth and the parish of Trunstadt were assigned to the Archbishopric of Bamberg, meaning that the western Vierethers became the Bavarian Crown’s subjects only four years after their neighbours living east of the brook.

Trunstadt belonged to the Counts Voit von Rieneck and only passed to Bavaria with the Act of the Confederation of the Rhine in 1806.

The community council is made up of 16 members, listed here by party or voter community affiliation, and also with the number of seats that each holds: In 1999, municipal tax revenue, converted to euros, amounted to €1,486,000 of which business taxes (net) amounted to €265,000.

According to official statistics, there were 6 workers on the social welfare contribution rolls working in agriculture or forestry in 1998, 309 in producing businesses, and in trade and transport 64.
