The community lies in the Mittelgebirge Spessart and has one Gemarkung (traditional rural cadastral area), also named Wiesen.


History


The former Electoral Mainz Amt was secularized at Prince Primate von Dalberg’s behest in 1803 and made part of his newly formed Principality of Aschaffenburg, with which the Amt passed in 1814 (by this time it had become a department of the Grand Duchy of Frankfurt) to the Kingdom of Bavaria. In the course of administrative reform in Bavaria, the current community came into being with the Gemeindeedikt ("Municipal Edict") of 1818.

Within community limits in 1970, 1,053 inhabitants were counted, in 1987 1,050, in 2000 1,152 and in 2018 1033.

Coat of arms


The community’s arms might be described thus: Gules in base a demi-wheel spoked of six argent, the rim to base, above which a stag’s attires Or reaching into chief, between them a scallop shell of the second, the hinge towards chief.

The community of Wiesen historically belonged to the Counts of Rieneck until they died out in 1559, whereupon it passed to the Archbishopric of Mainz, which built a hunting castle here in the Spessart. In the arms, the hart’s antlers and the half Wheel of Mainz recall the Electoral state to which the community belonged. The scallop is a symbol of Saint James. It refers to the parish church, which is consecrated to him. The tinctures gules and Or (red and gold) recall the Counts of Rieneck. They were closely associated with the community.

The community has borne the arms since 22 July 1985.


Education


Wiesen has one Kindergarten.[5]
