history

Until the church is planted

The place was mentioned for the first time in the year 772 in a deed of donation of the cleric Alwalah in the deed book of the Fulda monastery, but it was already 400 BC. Celtic settlements near Bergtheim. As part of the Hochstift Würzburg , which belonged to the Franconian Empire , Bergtheim was secularized in 1803 in favor of Bavaria and in the Peace of Pressburg in 1805 left to Archduke Ferdinand of Tuscany to form the Grand Duchy of Würzburg , with which it finally fell to Bavaria in 1814. In the course of the administrative reforms in Bavaria, today's municipality was created with the municipal edict of 1818. In 1400 the decisive battle took place near Bergtheim, in which the knights of the Würzburg bishop defeated the Würzburg citizens and thus destroyed the independence of the city of Würzburg.

Dipbach

The first written mention of the Dipbach part of the community comes from the year 1282, when Bishop Berthold II of Sternberg zu Würzburg pledged the village of Dipbach to Wolff von Grumbach . It can be assumed that Dipbach came into being at the time of the Frankish conquest . The place name may have originated from the combination of Diepold and Bach.

Sacrificial tree

Sacrificial tree was mentioned for the first time in 1160 in a document in which a certain Rupert gave a farm and a field in Sacrificial Tree to St. Stephen's monastery for his Lord Sefried. The place name is probably derived from "sacrifice ban", which means something like sacrificial district. The place name could refer to a Germanic cult site, perhaps on the nearby Eichelberg.

21st century

Bergtheim achieved a nationwide sensation through the election of the new mayor in April 2008, in which Konrad Schlier (CSU) competed against Robert Kremling (Free Christian Voting Association). The count resulted in a majority of one vote in favor of Kremling, whereupon Schlier demanded a review of the ballot papers. It revealed that one of the votes for Kremling was indeed invalid. Because of the tie, the lot had to decide, which ultimately decided in favor of Schlier. Further confusion was caused by the fact that the local election officer also carried the surname Schlier, which led to heavy accusations against him among Kremling followers, even though the candidate and election officer are not related. At the end of 2008, the case even made it into the ZDF program “Menschen 2008”, in which both mayoral candidates and the local election officer were present.
