Deanery Volkach
The Volkach deanery is a former deanery of the Roman Catholic diocese of Würzburg . The ecclesiastical district existed from 1811 to 1975.
history
In its early days, the diocese of Würzburg consisted of a few parishes with a large number of branch villages . These original parishes lost their importance during the Middle Ages, because more and more of the former branches became their own parishes. This made a more complicated organization of the diocese necessary. Ten parishes were merged into so-called deaneries. In the 12th century, so-called archdeaconates were established , who administered one or more deanery districts.
The parish of Volkach was assigned to the Archdiaconate Gerolzhofen for a long time , while the places in the area belonged partly to the Archidiaconate Dettelbach and the Archdiaconate Iphofen . In 1584 the archdeaconates were dissolved and the diocese was divided into deacons by Julius Echter von Mespelbrunn . Although the name of the district changed more frequently in the following years, Volkach was always assigned to the administrative district in Gerolzhofen during the Middle Ages and the early modern period.
With the secularization initiated by Napoleon in 1803, the Würzburg monastery was dissolved as a spiritual territory and established exclusively as a diocese of the Roman Catholic Church. In 1811, therefore, the administrative units of the diocese were redistributed. Now the deanery Volkach was created from parishes of the archdeaconate Dettelbach, Gerolzhofen and Iphofen. The dean was elected by the pastors of the deanery and confirmed by the government .
In 1905 the number of deaneries was adapted to the district offices . As a result of the Second World War and the refugees from the former German areas in Eastern Europe, the number of Roman Catholic parishes in the originally confessionally mixed Main Franconia rose sharply. With the dissolution of the Dettelbach deanery on January 1, 1955, the Volkach deanery was enlarged again. It was not until 1975 that the administrative district was dissolved, and the parishes were divided between the deaneries of Kitzingen , Schweinfurt-Süd and Würzburg on the right of the Main .
