Mosbach

Mosbach was a town in the Odenwald near the Neckar and Elz rivers. It gained imperial free city rights in 1241 and still held them in 1337.

Mosbach passed to the Electoral Palatinate in 1362. After King Rupert died in 1410, the partition of his lands made it the seat of Count Palatine Otto I. His line acquired Neumarkt, but ended with Otto II’s childless death in 1499, when Mosbach returned to the Electoral Palatinate. It was assigned to Baden after 1806.
