history
The remains of a Neolithic settlement were discovered near Burgerroth . Later, people settled in the northeast and southwest, both settlements are now classified as archaeological monuments. The present village was not settled until the Middle Ages , perhaps it was a late expansion site. According to legend, around 1220 the veil of St. Kunigunde got caught in an old linden tree near the village. A chapel was built here.
Burgerroth itself only got its own house of worship in the 15th century. The church was dedicated to St. Andrew. In the course of the Counter Reformation , the Würzburg prince-bishop Julius Echter von Mespelbrunn tried to bring Burgerroth back to the Catholic faith by renovating the old church. The village is still predominantly Catholic today. Burgerroth has been a district of Aub since 1976.
Attractions
The most important architectural monuments in the district of Burgerroth is the so-called Kundigunden Chapel . It was built around 1220 and used as a pilgrimage church to St. Kunigunde. At the same time, the villages of Buch, Burgerroth and Niedersteinach used it. The chapel still has the late Romanesque character of the construction period. In 1614, Prince-Bishop Julius Echter von Mespelbrunn had the chapel redesigned; these changes were not reversed until 1960.
Next to the chapel, the so-called Kunigunden stone has been preserved, on which, according to legend , the saint is said to have kneeled. The prints can still be found here today. The so-called Kunigunden linden tree is classified as a natural monument .
The Catholic St. Andrew's Church was built as a classical building in the first half of the 19th century. However, the church goes back to a previous building that was in the same place. There are many wayside shrines around the village, most of which date back to the 18th century. They refer to the popular piety of the population. In the village itself there are still some old houses, the former school was built in 1791.
