The ten districts of Aschaffenburg are Damm, Gailbach, Leider, Nilkheim, Obernau, Obernauer Kolonie, Österreicher Kolonie, Schweinheim, Stadtmitte and Strietwald. The area has been inhabited as early as the Stone Age. The earliest known people to settle here were the Alamanni tribe.
The town of Aschaffenburg must have been founded as early as AD 989, as it was recorded that a stone bridge across the Main was built there during that year. In 1810, it was merged into the Grand Duchy of Frankfurt, but four years later, transferred to the Kingdom of Bavaria.
