History

Fellen was part of the County of Rieneck, which the Counts of Nostitz had sold to those of Colloredo-Mansfeld in 1803. In 1806, it was mediatized within the Principality of Aschaffenburg, with which it passed in 1814, with the odd small exception, to Bavaria. In the course of administrative reform in Bavaria, the current community came into being with the Gemeindeedikt (“Municipal Edict”) of 1818.
