Albersdorf is a district of Ebern in the Haßberge district of Lower Franconia .

geography

Albersdorf is about ten kilometers west of Ebern, nestled between the Hart and Steinert hills.

history

Albersdorf was settled between the years 800 and 900.

The place was first mentioned in 1231 in written records sent to Hermann von Raueneck by the Bishop of Würzburg . The name Albersdorf probably comes from "Adalbold" a man who lived in Albersdorf. The name Adalbold includes the characteristics noble and bold.

Former manor

Former manor

In 1576, Hans Fuchs zu Gleisenau acquired the former manor. On June 8, 1709, Prince-Bishop Johann Philipp von Greiffenclau zu Vollraths bought the Albersdorf manor as a station between Würzburg and his private property in Gereuth . In the following years the existing buildings were demolished and the main house and farm buildings were rebuilt. In 1815 the property passed to the Jewish banking family Jakob von Hirsch . In 1859 the brothers Adrian and Karl Prieger bought their Franconian property from the Hirsch bank. From 1917 the new owner was the factory owner August Bauer from Selbitz. A year later, the wood merchant Johann Georg Bäuerle from Ölsnitz bought the property. The city of Leipzig bought the property in 1920, which it then sold again in 1930 to the Geiger family, who came from the Leipzig area. The then independent municipality of Albersdorf was the last buyer in the history of the former manor in 1950. The property has been privately owned since 1952.

church

Catholic branch church St. Michael

Prince-Bishop Johann Philipp von Greiffenclau had the Catholic branch church of St. Michael built as a castle church between 1714 and 1716. On September 27, 1717 she consecrated Johann Bernard, Auxiliary Bishop of Würzburg, to Saint Michael / Archangel Michael.

The planning and execution of the late baroque church building - with a length of 23 meters and a width of 10 meters - comes from Joseph Greissing . It is a hall building with a retracted choir and west tower with sandstone sections. The three-tiered bell tower with a height of 28 meters is considered imposing with its elegant dome on what is known as an octagonal lantern.

Interior view of the Albersdorf Church

The four-column main altar with round gable pieces and canopy crowns has the Greiffenclau coat of arms below the symbol of the Holy Trinity. The altarpiece depicts the Assumption of the Virgin Mary. The side altars on the sloping corners of the nave are made with cones stuccoed with shells and also have the Greifenclau coat of arms. Inside there are painted wooden figures depicting St. Jakob and St. Gangolf (?).

The tower roof had to be replaced as early as 1872 due to structural defects, the current tower hood and lantern date from this time. In 1958 the worn sandstone floor slabs were replaced and one year later the roof was also extensively renovated. In the course of these measures, the communion benches and the pulpit were removed and the church stalls were replaced by the Schuhman company from Jesserndorf .

In 1961, the then independent municipality of Albersdorf initiated the renovation of the outer facade and, in 1968, the addition of a sacristy. In 1995, one of the two bells was exchanged and another was purchased, and in the course of this, the electric bell was modernized. The two new bells were consecrated on June 25, 1995 by Auxiliary Bishop Helmut Bauer .

During the last major interior renovation, the church also got a new people's altar , which was also consecrated by the Würzburg auxiliary bishop Helmut Bauer on October 1, 2005.
