Mackenheim, Historic hamlet in Abtsteinach, Germany

Mackenheim consists of four large scattered agricultural farmsteads located in a high-lying side valley of the Mörlenbach region at 400 meters elevation.

In 773, Charlemagne gifted the territory of Mackenheim, part of the Mark Heppenheim administrative district, to the Imperial Abbey of Lorsch.

The settlement maintained its agricultural character through centuries, with 104 hectares of forest and 164 hectares of farmland recorded in 1961.

The K18 county road connects Mackenheim to Ober-Abtsteinach and Mörlenbach through winding mountain routes in the Odenwald region.

A sandstone railway viaduct from the former Überwald railway line stands at the lower end of the Mackenheim valley.
