A “Description of the "Huben" and Crops of the Estate of Fürth” (curiam Furde) – a "Hube" being a plot of land big enough to feed one household, similar to a hide in the word's original meaning – from 1023 shows the development that was brought about by this donation and the subsequent clearing and reclamation of the land by Lorsch monks: Fürth was spoken of as "principalis curia", or the “first estate”, or "Fürstenhof". Thus, Fürth was Lorsch's most important administrative and fiscal centre in the Odenwald. There followed a precise statement of the crops of the lands in the various centres. Besides Fürth itself, these are the places named in connection with this: Kolmbach, Nieder-Brombach, Fahrenbach, Krumbach, Ober-Brombach, Weschnitz, Alt(en)lechtern and Kröckelbach (in ascending order of size of "Huben") as holdings subject to interest, further Steinbach as a holding subject to tithing and Erlenbach as a holding subject to meadowland tithing. In Fürth itself, Weschnitz and Fahrenbach a mill is mentioned. Further, owing to incoming crops it was suggested that the corresponding handicraft products be available: 12 bolts ("Bahnen") of fine shirt linen, 8 barrels, 8 measuring instruments, 1 mortar, 40 serving dishes, in the one year a pan, in the other a kettle.
