early history

open brook is an establishment from the time after the Frankish handing hurrying of 561. The place name hasfor this time a typical ending up - brook and stands in connection with the family name Ovo. From that 6. or 7. Century is south the oldest local centre at the forest route a Frankish row cemetery received.

Among many inhabitants two circulatefurther theories about the origin of the place name. The one say the fact that open brook therefore has its name that here the Main formed in former times a ford and therefore in the winter did not freeze over (open brook --> Open brook). The second main theory means,that open brook its name due to its formerly large furnace in the proximity of the brook has (furnace at the brook --> OF (f) enBach). Over the years an additional “f” would thus have in-crept.
