Bahra is a district of the city of Mellrichstadt in the Lower Franconian district of Rhön-Grabfeld ( Bavaria ).
Geographical location
The village is located in the Lower Franconian part of the Grabfeld on the border with Thuringia . The Bahra stream of the same name flows through the village and is a tributary of the Streu (Franconian Saale) .
history
The place Bahra was first mentioned in history in 1115. At that time it belonged to the Grafschaft Grafschaft Henneberg and was given to the Fulda monastery . A church was built in the 14th century, and the tower was raised in 1717. Since 1404 Bahra was owned by the Lords of Bibra . Ecclesiastically it belonged to the parish Mellrichstadt , whose main town belonged to the Hochstift Würzburg . After the introduction of the Reformation, the Lords of Bibra canceled their parish membership in the Catholic Mellrichstadt after 1555 and transferred the pastoral care to the Lutheran preacher in Hendungen in Henneberg , who now also received the duties that had flowed to Mellrichstadt up to that point.
After the Counts of Henneberg died out in 1583, the parish of Hendungen came under the joint administration of the Ernestine and Albertine Wettins . When Hendungen was exchanged with some other places at the Hochstift Würzburg due to the Schleusinger Treaty in 1586, the Counter-Reformation began there immediately . Thereupon the gentlemen of Bibra withdrew the place Bahra from Hendungen and instead made it into the branch of Rappershausen in 1591 , which was in the Saxon office of Römhild . The taxes that had previously flowed to the pastor in Hendungen went to Rappershausen from then on. In 1598 there was therefore a lawsuit before the Reich Chamber of Commerce, although Hendungen “did not obtain a favorable judgment”. On February 15, 1637, Philipp Albrecht Truchseß von Wetzhausen zu Sternberg acquired the place Bahra from Hans Kaspar von Bibra zu Höchheim , Rudolph von Hanstein and Georg Rudolph Mellen zu Haina . From the year 1675 a teacher in Bahra can be proven; A village regulation is known from 1689.
With the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss of 1803, the mediatization of imperial direct classes began on a larger scale. With the Rhine Confederation Act of 1806, direct imperial rule over Bahra was also abolished and incorporated into the Grand Duchy of Würzburg . With the dissolution of the Rhine Confederation in 1814, the existence of the Grand Duchy of Würzburg also ended. By resolution of the Congress of Vienna , most of it fell to the Kingdom of Bavaria . In the course of the administrative reforms in Bavaria, today's municipality was created with the municipal edict of 1818 . From 1817 the place belonged to the Lower Main District , which was renamed Lower Franconia and Aschaffenburg (later just Lower Franconia) in 1838 . Bahra has been part of the Free State of Bavaria since 1918 .
On April 1, 1973, Bahra was incorporated into the city of Mellrichstadt, after the Bahra elementary school had previously been affiliated to the ev. Association School Mellrichstadt in 1965.
Religions
The Protestant community in the village belongs to the Mühlfeld parish in the Evangelical Lutheran Dean's Office in Bad Neustadt an der Saale .
