history

Until the church is planted

A stone ax found in Burgsinn from the late Neolithic (around 2000 BC) is the oldest evidence of human presence in the local area. The Sinngau ("Sinnahgeuue") is mentioned in a document from the Fulda monastery from 812. The first written evidence of the existence of the place, the then Würzburg village of Sinna, dates back to 1001. During the time of the tribal duchies, the place belonged to the Duchy of Franconia . 1303 speaks of castle men of the "Gotzo, Aplo et Her (mannus) de Sinn" as occupying the border fortress of Sinna. In 1334 Emperor Ludwig the Bavarian granted "the village of Synne" market rights for "forever" . In 1338 Dietz von Thüngen became the hereditary castle man and lord of the castle and town of Sinna. In 1405, Dietz von Thüngen's son Wilhelm acquired the Burgsinn rulership and everything that went with it for 10,000 guilders .

In 1808 Burgsinn came to the Wolfsmünster District Commissariat of the Grand Duchy of Würzburg as an enclaved Thüngen patrimonial place. Heinrich Alsheimer and Friedrich Heilmann were mayor for the Lutzische line of the barons of Thüngen. Georg Köhler and Johann Schmitt were the mayors of the Andreasische Linie. The school teacher was Johann Dünkel. Back then, weekly messengers from Bugsinn to Würzburg and from Würzburg to Burgsinn went on Mondays. In Würzburg they stopped at the Golden Ship.

coat of arms

Coat of arms of the Voit von Rieneck family based on Siebmacher's coat of arms book

	Blazon : "A red ram's horn on a golden background."

The Widderhorn can neither be taken from the coat of arms of the Barons of Thüngen nor that of the Counts of Rieneck , although both families are closely connected to the history of Burgsinn. While with the extinction of the Rothenfels line of the Rieneckers in 1333 half of the Burgsinn Castle, which the Counts of Rieneck had as a fief, fell back to Würzburg and in 1405 the Barons of Thüngen bought the entire castle of Würzburg, the Voit von Rieneck , which for a long time Vögte zu Rieneck held a part of the tithe and the court of middle sense until the 15th century. When Kurmainz carried out the execution against the Thüngen in 1630, the court in Burgsinn was held in the Rieneck cellar - the Counts of Rieneck had already died out in the first half of the 16th century. After the reinstatement of the Thüngen in Burgsinn in 1697, the community was expressly assured, along with various other agreements, that “their old village seal” would be retained. What kind of this seal was and what time it came from is not stated, but since the Voit von Rieneck had a ram in their coat of arms, it is almost certain that the coat of arms of Burgsinn was the reduced coat of arms of the Voit von Rieneck is.
