Until the founding of the forerunner churches

Ober- and Unteraltertheim were first mentioned in a document from the year 775. Today's municipality was formerly part of the Grafschaft Castell, which was part of the Franconian Empire from 1500 . In 1806 Unter- and Oberaltertheim were mediatized in favor of Bavaria. The places were left in 1810 (border purification) to the Grand Duchy of Würzburg of Archduke Ferdinand of Tuscany, with whom they finally fell to Bavaria in 1814 . In the course of the administrative reforms in Bavaria, the municipalities came into being with the municipal edict of 1818 .

coat of arms

Blazon : “Square of red and silver; in 1 and 4 a silver heraldic rose with golden studs. "

Founding of the coat of arms: The municipalities of Oberaltertheim, Steinbach bei Würzburg and Unteraltertheim, which have merged in the new municipality of Altertheim, once belonged to the domain of the Counts of Wertheim; after their extinction (1556), this area passed to the Count's House of Castell. Castell's coat of arms shows the so-called crossing of red and silver; the silver heraldic rose is the badge of the Counts of Wertheim. In the present form, the union of these two symbols has served as the coat of arms of the municipality of Oberaltertheim since 1967. The newly formed Altertheim community has adopted this coat of arms in its unchanged form.

Alliance Waldsassengau

Since November 20, 2014 Altertheim has been organized together with twelve other communities in the Alliance Waldsassengau . The association serves the intercommunal cooperation.
