All attempts of Frankfurt, to prevent this have failed. Although the claims were on the Frankfurt nineteen villages of the Office confirmed after a process lasting over a hundred years of Supreme Court, however, had neither Frankfurt nor the realm of the power to enforce the judgment. So the city was finally a on a comparison: 1481 was Hanau on his claim to the villages Bornheim, Hausen and Oberrad, the three villages - and hence Bornheim - came finally to the city of Frankfurt and Hanau received the remaining Bornheimer mountain exclusive. Bornheim thus retired from the Bornheimer mountain, the "capital" function for the Bornheimer mountain then took over mountains. Then 1484, King Frederick III. the villages Bornheim, Hausen and Oberrad the Council to Frankfurt as fiefs. Land in Bornheim had the German monastery in Sachsenhausen, the rogues of mountains and the Knights of Heusenstamm. 1476 to 1477 the field attachment Bornheimer Landwehr was built.
