The Messbach estate belongs to the municipality of Dörzbach in the administrative district of Künzelsau in northern Württemberg.

In 1845, Meßbach was made so-called "Fideikommiss" to prevent the splitting up of the inheritance and thus of a family's possessions and property. The Fideikommiss (translated from the Latin to "leave in trust [hands]") is an institution of inheritance and property law, according to which the assets of a family, mostly real estate, should be preserved forever by foundation and only one family member alone, the entail owner who held the usufruct.
