history

The place where Dornheim is today was already settled in prehistoric times. So they dug up several cord ceramic vessels. Further finds were made in the Keilholz corridor and on the Hausberg. There four barrows from the Hallstatt period were discovered . The long history of the settlement is also evidenced by the finds of some Roman provincial vessels in the middle of today's location.

In 741, Dornheim was first mentioned in the sources as "villa Tornhaim", although the village had already existed for some time at that time. The parish church of St. Remigius was one of the places of worship that the newly founded diocese of Würzburg was equipped with in 741. The church was one of the four own churches in Iffgau . It can be assumed that the Franks continued to settle in Dornheim.

In 816 Dornheim was mentioned a second time as a "villa" (village). The village was part of the basic equipment of the Benedictine monastery Megingaudshausen , from which the Münsterschwarzach Abbey later emerged. In 822 the donation to the monastery was confirmed. The owner changed hands in the 9th century. A certain Ezzelo gave his property in “ Kurnaha ” and Dornheim to the Fulda monastery .

Another mention was made in a papal document from 1182. Pope Lucius III. handed over property to the nuns of St. Theodor in Bamberg, among others in Dornheim. In the Middle Ages the village lords changed frequently, between 1300 and 1400 the Counts of Castell , the Lords of Hohenlohe , the Ebrach Monastery and the Fuchs von Dornheim owned some goods in the village.

In 1435 Dornheim came under the influence of the Lords of Schwarzenberg . In 1462 the troops of Prince-Bishop Johann III besieged . von Grumbach the village during a feud with the Margrave of Ansbach, Albrecht Achilles, and burned down the fortified churchyard of the village. Around the year 1723 the village was called "Dornau". At that time, the gentlemen from Limpurg-Speckfeld , the Iphöfer Spital and the gentlemen von Hutten had ten rights in the village.

With the mediatization , the village came to Bavaria in 1806. The gentlemen von Schwarzenberg only exercised the right of patronage. At the end of the Second World War , the old town center was completely destroyed and in addition to 20 soldiers, two villagers also died. The village was rebuilt in the post-war period . Dornheim has been part of the newly created large community of Iphofen since 1972.
