Eichfeld is a district of the town of Volkach in the Bavarian district of Kitzingen in Lower Franconia. Eichfeld was an independent municipality until the voluntary merger with Volkach on July 1, 1972. Before that, the Counts of Castell ruled the village for a long time , the village was part of their county. The counts also introduced the Reformation in Eichfeld in the 16th century, so that it is predominantly evangelical-Lutheran to this day.
Eichfeld is located away from the major tourist centers on the Volkacher Mainschleife, next to the church and a Renaissance cemetery portal there are only smaller monuments in the village.
Geographical location
Geography and natural structure
Eichfeld is located in the extreme south-east of the Volkach municipality. Further north is the Volkach district of Rimbach . The area of the city of Prichsenstadt begins in the northeast, west and south. The districts of Järkendorf (in the northeast), Stadelschwarzach (in the southeast) and Laub (in the south) are closest to Eichfeld. The southwest leads to the Volkach district of Dimbach . In the west, the Strehlhof belongs to the Rimbach district.
Closest, larger cities are Kitzingen with a distance of about 15 kilometers and Schweinfurt , which is about 23 kilometers away. The next big city is Würzburg, 27 kilometers away .
In terms of nature, Eichfeld is in the Steigerwald foreland of Neuses , which is part of the Iphofen-Gerolzhofener Steigerwald forland within the Main Franconian Plates .
Eichfeld is located in the north of the Main Franconian Basin between the Volkach and Schwarzach streams . The Main does not touch the Eichfeld district, but flows past some distance to the west. However, some smaller rivers originate in the Eichfeld district. In the northwest this is the Heiligenbach, as a tributary to the Sommerach . The Sadelsbach flows past the village in the east, towards the Schwarzach. The Schwarzach tributaries Marbach (in the south) and Seeflußgraben (in the southeast) also arise around Eichfeld.
Village structure
The Eichfeld district covers an area of 6.5 km². In the center is the Carolingian Haufenwegedorf with the Protestant parish church in the center, as well as the newer settlement, which adjoins the old village in the northwest. It was created in the 1960s. The village's sports field is also located there. Further to the north-west and west are a few unnamed emigrant farms .
The village corridors have uniform fields, only rows of trees can be found in the small valley cut of the Sadelsbach. The forest Röhrig lies between the districts of Dimbach and Eichfeld. In the extreme northeast the Eichelberg rises and in the extreme east the Fichtelberg. The half mile with the half mile lake begins at the boundary of Rimbach in the northwest .
history
Prehistory and early history (up to 906)
In contrast to the surrounding villages, no prehistoric finds were made in Eichfeld. In the more recent Hallstatt period, however, several settlements emerged in the vicinity . Some barrows were located near Eichfeld , in which the residents of that time were buried. During the La Tène period , there was an overlay of populations everywhere in the loop region of the Main: the Celts who moved in displaced the original population.
Around 50 BC, Elbe-Germanic - Suebic peoples advanced into the area around Eichfeld. It is unclear whether a village already existed where it is today. Over 600 years later, in the 6th century AD, the Germanic Franks conquered the region. They brought their first administrative structures with them and also pushed Christianization in what is now Main Franconia.
The settlement of Eichfeld probably took place in the course of this colonization in the 7th or 8th century as a clearing site . At that time, a Franconian Urgau, the Volkfeld , had already established itself as the king's property in the area. Eichfeld became part of this widespread property in the 9th century. However, the king soon began to dissolve this closed country. He gave entire areas to other rulers and thus ensured their loyalty.
Changing village lords (until around 1530)
Eichfeld was first mentioned in the year 906. Ludwig the child confirmed the donations made by his father Arnulf von Kärnten in a document . “Aachiveld” came to the Fulda Monastery in 889 together with many other places in the area . At this early point in time, the village will only have consisted of a royal, later Fulda, labor court and some serf houses. In terms of church, Eichfeld was then part of the original parish of Volkach, which had its seat on the Kirchberg.
In the shadow of the Fulda Abbey and the increasingly powerful Würzburg monastery , the Counts of Castell rose to become important feudal lords on the Mainschleife in the 11th century . Around 1200 they became tangible for the first time in Eichfeld. After Count Rupert II zu Castell was defeated by Hermann von Würzburg in a feud in 1230, the bishop was given the bailiff over Eichfeld. In the following years, however, he again loaned them to the Counts of Castel.
Throughout the entire Middle Ages, Eichfeld's manorial estate was severely split up and subjected to frequent changes of rule. In 1290 the Münsterschwarzach Abbey was awarded the bailiwick of Eichfeld. At the same time, other genders were wealthy in the village. In 1297 a court of the Würzburg Neumünster is proven, in 1376 the Zollner von der Hallburg had possessions there. In 1376 the lords of Althusen, in 1453 the Truchseß von Wildberg and the lords of Seinsheim were wealthy in Eichfeld.
During the German Peasant War , which broke out in 1525 due to a wave of price increases, the Eichfelder behaved cautiously. Although some joined the Volkacher Fähnlein , which plundered the aristocratic residences in the area, they only provided the fighters with food. When the uprising was suppressed in 1526 and the ringleaders were punished, not a single Eichfelder was among those executed.
During the religious wars (until 1662)
The time of several manors ended a short time later for Eichfeld. Count Wolfgang I zu Castell succeeded in adding Eichfeld to his county around 1530 , where it remained until 1806. The village had already renounced the distant Kirchberg parish in 1339 and had its own church, the Stephanuskirche. Wolfgang's successors introduced the Lutheran denomination for their estates soon after their father's death . A Protestant pastor was first recorded in Eichfeld in 1556.
A few years earlier, Eichfeld had suffered several looting. Count Georg II zu Castell had been an ally of Albrecht Alcibiades in the Margrave War , who lost the conflict. In June and October 1553, the county was therefore exposed to the passage of soldiers from the Würzburg monastery and the Duchy of Braunschweig. The Counter-Reformation under Bishop Julius Echter von Mespelbrunn , which began a short time later, only marginally affected the village: it was given a helmet for its church.
The subsequent witch hunt - many alleged witches were burned in nearby Gerolzhofen - only started slowly in Eichfeld. So the Schulz von Eichfeld showed the Count von Castell two Eichfeld women, who had indicated 25 more, as witches. Some suspects were brought for interrogation, none of them were executed. The Thirty Years War led to the collapse of village life. Eichfeld was already suffering from billeting in 1626. In 1631 most of the villagers fled to the fortified Volkach from the approaching, actually allied, Swedes.
Eichfeld, however, never fell completely deserted during the war, the Lutheran parish was provided from Prichsenstadt , but remained vacant at times. After the Peace of Westphalia there was a large influx of expelled Lutherans from other rulers, such as the monasteries of Bamberg, Mainz and Salzburg. Eichfeld had established itself as an “evangelical island” in the middle of the Catholic monastery of Würzburg and therefore attracted many exiles .
The county of Castell (until 1806)
With the expansion of his responsibilities, Eichfeld was part of the Rüdenhausen Central Court in 1662 and thus also legally excluded from the bishopric. The village was never denominationally divided into the 18th century, among other things the baker, the blacksmith and the village bathers belonged to the Catholic denomination at times. The parish was merged with the nearby Krautheim in 1648 .
Eichfeld suffered indirectly in the War of the Spanish Succession : The village became impoverished. In 1762 Prussian soldiers quartered themselves in the village during the Seven Years' War , and other armies followed over the next few years. The constant drafts led to an acute shortage of grain in 1769, which increased to a famine by 1772. Hailstorms and a mouse plague made the situation even worse. In 1772 alone 30 people died in Eichfeld.
On August 6, 1780, a fire shook the village in which a total of 21 buildings went up in flames. The catastrophe was followed by billeting in the coalition wars, followed by rinderpest in 1796 . With typhus raged in the village of another disease. Many young Eichfelder were given to other rulers for military service and so could not advance the reconstruction.
In Bavaria (until today)
With the mediatization introduced by Napoleon , the small secular dominions were dissolved in 1806 and incorporated into larger states. The Grafschaft Castell with Eichfeld first came to Electoral Palatinate Bavaria , before it became part of the Grand Duchy of Würzburg for a short time . In 1814 Eichfeld finally became a royal Bavarian rural community in the Volkach district court. The burdens of billeting continued, however, as over 400 soldiers were temporarily housed in Eichfeld. In 1808 the village had only 386 inhabitants.
The departure of the young population continued at first, between 1836 and 1842 36 Eichfelder left the village. The new destination of the emigrants was distant America . By expanding and paving the streets, the community tried to improve the economic situation between 1842 and 1879, and the village pastor Christian Englert set up a tree nursery in the church gardens. It was not until the Volkacher Main Bridge was built in 1892 that the prosperity of Eichfeld grew through grain exports.
The beginning of the 20th century in Eichfeld was marked by the new construction of the Stephanus Church. In 1902 Pastor Leonhard Biemüller succeeded in having the old nave demolished. In the First World War , Eichfeld had to provide a large contingent of soldiers. A total of 54 men served in the army, 14 villagers died. The global economic crisis completely destroyed the small fortunes of the Eichfelder, but no one had to go hungry any more.
In World War II, 21 soldiers died from Eichfeld. The Americans occupied the village on April 13, 1945. Previously, the municipal administration had handed over the place without a fight. In the first years after the war, many bombed out and refugees were taken in, but very few stayed in Eichfeld. At the same time, the mayors pushed the modernization with the connection to the long-distance water supply and the land consolidation .
In the 1960s, a building area was designated and the district road was extended towards Volkach. For this purpose, the rectory from 1683 was torn down in 1967 . The turn towards the city of Volkach reached its peak on July 1, 1972, when the village became part of the larger community. The evangelical Christians of Volkach were repared to Eichfeld in 1977, but in the same year they were given their independence as a parish.
Place name
The name of the place Eichfeld goes back to the natural occurrences in the area. In Old High German , "field" meant a landscape that, due to its simple continuity, stood in contrast to forest areas. Eichfeld probably bears the name because it was founded as a "free area in the old mixed oak forest". The name may also go back to a founder Acho. In any case, the village name indicates a late foundation in the 7th or 8th century AD. Eichfeld was probably a Carolingian clearing site .
In 906 the village was called "Aachiveld" and in 1230 "Villa Eichfelt" (village of Eichfelt). In 1496 “Effelt” prevailed. In 1581 the name "Eichuelt" appeared before " Gemein zu Eychfeldt" prevailed in 1664 . In the course of time, the name continued to wear off, so that the place is now called Eichfeld. The older villagers in particular still use the dialect of “Affelt” or the older term “Effelt”.
Administration and courts

Eichfeld was judicially subject to the following instances.
|
coat of arms
|
|
Blazon : “Three green oaks growing in silver; underneath a red paw cross. " |
| Reasons for the coat of arms: The coat of arms is based on the history of Eichfeld. The three green oaks can be traced back to the name of the village. The red cross on a silver background refers to the coat of arms of the former village lords, the Counts of Castell, which also has the colors silver and red. |
politics
From mayor to local spokesman
The Eichfelder could already elect a mayor in the early modern period . He and a few other villagers represented the place opposite the rule of the Counts of Castell. The town hall was on the edge of the fortified church, near Volkacher Strasse; it is now registered as an architectural monument. The first traditional mayor of the municipality of Eichfeld was Johann Conrad Höhn in 1789. After Eichfeld had become a Bavarian rural community , there were two mayors and five councilors .
After the Second World War, Fritz Prappacher became the municipality's first mayor in 1946. On July 1, 1972, the local council approved the incorporation into Volkach. Eichfeld was one of the first communities to join Volkach. First Mayor Fritz Ixmeier and Second Mayor Heinrich Kämpf resigned from their offices, the local law remained in force until December 31, 1972. In 1989, the Eichfelder elected Heinrich Göllner as their local spokesman , who takes part in the city council meetings in an advisory capacity. The acting local spokesman is Helmut Hartner.
Population development
In the early 18th century, the consequences of the Thirty Years' War in Eichfeld could be read from the number of inhabitants. By the end of the century, the population increased by more than half, mainly due to immigration. Above all religious refugees came to Eichfeld. The general population development in the 19th century led to further influx, so that the population remained stable over 400. With over 750 residents, the peak was not reached until the 1940s, when many displaced persons from the former German areas were accepted into the community.

Culture and sights
Architectural monuments
Stephanuskirche and Kirchenburg
The church in Eichfeld goes back to a Romanesque predecessor building in the same place. First of all, the parishioners had to wander to the distant original parish on the Volkacher Kirchberg every Sunday before they became the first branch to gain independence in 1339 . In 1556 the Reformation was introduced. The Thirty Years' War interrupted parish life: the pastors supplied their parish from Prichsenstadt during the war. The parish church was rebuilt in 1902.
The classic hall building has an old Julius Echter tower, which probably goes back to counter-Reformation efforts in the 16th century. The nave was built in the neo-Gothic style at the beginning of the 20th century, while the Gothic choir was retained. It has tracery windows. The oldest furnishing element is the 15th century sacrament house. Many other liturgical devices came into the church during the course of the new building.
The new building from 1902 largely destroyed the fortified church in Eichfeld. Originally the church was surrounded by tightly built church alleys , which provided space for the villagers' supplies. Only a few remains have survived there today. A gaden still has an inscription and dates to the year 1788. The old cemetery, on the edge of the church fortifications, has been relocated, some inscriptions from the 16th century have been preserved.
Cemetery portal
Another structural feature is the cemetery portal made of sandstone in Renaissance shapes . It ends with a head, which is supposed to represent the head of the stonemason. The Castell rule is symbolized by the coat of arms on the left, while the coat of arms of the Limpurg taverns is emblazoned on the left. Several inscriptions with psalms indicate the place of the burial place, which can still be entered through the portal today. The initiator for the construction of the magnificent gate was Count Georg II. Zu Castell , who wanted to use the portal to commemorate his wife, who had recently died. The old resting place was dissolved in 1588 and the cemetery moved to the outskirts. In the course of the Reformation, the burials in Eichfeld grew steadily, as Lutherans from the surrounding communities were now also buried in the village.
Private houses and small monuments
In addition to the monuments mentioned, Eichfeld has also preserved smaller sights. After the great fire of 1780, many buildings had to be rebuilt, so that many of these monuments were created in the 19th century. The oldest monument is a residential building at No. 25 Volkacher Strasse. It dates from the 18th century and, in addition to an expansive gable roof, features a firedock truss .
Nowadays privately used properties were used in earlier times for catering or administration of the village. The old town hall on the edge of the old fortified church is a plastered quarry stone house with a gable roof. It originated in the 19th century. The old sacristy door of the church has been preserved at the basement entrance of the building . In the first half of the 19th century, the old village inn Zum Weißen Roß was built with a half-hipped roof , the brewery building and the drilled window frames.
In the Herrengasse there is an old pedestrian gate next to a quarry stone house . It dates back to 1832 and was decorated with a face stone. There is also a 19th century tavern boom in Volkacher Straße. With its three golden crowns, it indicates the former Zur Krone inn. A stone cross made of sandstone outside of Eichfeld, in the Röhrig forest, on the way to Dimbach, shows some damage. The reason for the settlement is unknown.

Soil monuments
A total of five archaeological monuments are known in the Eichfeld district. The underground remains of the previous buildings of the Stephanuskirche including the foundations of the Gaden and the former fortified church in today's town center have been classified as a ground monument. In the north of the settlement there are some underground remains of a trench from prehistoric times.
To the west-south-west of the church, in the Röhrig forest (forest section III, 3a.4b), eight prehistoric burial mounds from the Hallstatt period were located; these can also be found in the north-west of the village. In a similar direction from the village, traces of a prehistoric settlement have been excavated. All ground monuments have been classified by the Bavarian State Office for Monument Preservation .
Regular events
Several regular events shape the course of the year in Eichfeld. In the night from April 30th to May 1st, the Eichfelder celebrate the May Festival, during which the maypole , a birch, is set up on the edge of the sports field. The focal point of the festival calendar is the parish fair. In 1481 it was moved from June to the second Sunday in October (Sunday after Burkardi ). Today it is celebrated every year on the first weekend in September.
Economy and Infrastructure
economy
For a long time, Eichfeld was only economically dependent on the small farmers in the village. Around the place were fields with grain and vegetables, which the population operated in subsistence farming . In the 18th century, in addition to the native varieties, the potato also became increasingly popular as an agricultural product. The oak fields continued to suffer from famine after poor harvests or drafts.
At the end of the century, Pastor Englert tried to encourage his fellow citizens to grow fruit by setting up a tree nursery in the community gardens. However, the cleric failed to achieve the desired goal because the cultivation of fruit in the village was not sustainable. According to an overview from September 28, 1887, Eichfeld exported 300 kilograms of fruit. The export of field crops, especially grain, via Volkach continued to increase after 1892.
In 1908 Nikolaus Hofmann, born in Eichfeld, founded the Deutsche Patronen-Centrale Frankonia Eichfeld. With the move to Würzburg the success finally came. In 1968, a central warehouse and administration were opened in Rottendorf near Würzburg. Today Frankonia Handels GmbH & Co. KG is 100% owned by the Otto Group.
Even today, the residents of Eichfeld mostly live from the sale of various crops. Many residents commute to Volkach or to Würzburg, which is further away. After several restaurants were found in the village in the 17th century, there is only one café on Volkacher Straße today . A winery, a hairdressing salon and a specialist retailer for alarm systems complete the economic life in Eichfeld.
traffic
For a long time, Eichfeld was insignificant in terms of traffic. It lies between the places Prichsenstadt and Volkach, which both belonged to different rulers in the Middle Ages and early modern times . Already at that time a local road ran through Eichfeld, but it was only of secondary importance for trade. In the 19th century this road was converted into a country road and later a district road and in the 1960s it was expanded to its current width.
Today the connecting road is developed as the state road St 2260. It runs from the northwest, coming from Volkach, as Volkacher Straße through the village to Laub and Prichsenstadt. The district road KT 37 leads from the west to Eichfeld. It comes from Rimbach as Lülsfelder Straße and connects the two districts with each other. Järkendorfer Strasse in the northeast of Eichfeld is also of major importance for traffic.
Eichfeld's only bus stop is on Volkacher Strasse. It is approached by the VGN line 8115 ( Castell - Münsterschwarzach - Dettelbach ). In addition, the city of Volkach has set up a citizens' bus that stops in Eichfeld twice a week. The tourist main loop shuttle does not stop at Eichfeld, a cycle path that branches off from the main Main cycle path has ended in Eichfeld since 2013.
The Franconian Marienweg runs through the village .
education
The old school was one of the focal points of village life. The tradition of a first schoolmaster dates back to the 16th century . As part of the fortified church, the school was located in the middle of the village and was attended by all the boys. In 1800 school entry was set at the age of five, compulsory schooling ended at the age of twelve. In 1896 the community built a new school building in the west of the village, and in 1966 the school was closed. The children were taught in Prichsenstadt until 1972, before Eichfeld was assigned to the Volkach school district.

After losing the elementary school, Eichfeld now only has a Protestant kindergarten . Basic education is provided by the Volkach elementary school. Elementary and middle schools in nearby Volkach were combined under this name. Schoolchildren can complete the qualifying secondary school leaving certificate and, via the so-called M-branch , the secondary school leaving certificate.
The higher education also takes place in Volkach. A girls' secondary school is located there. In the Volkach district of Gaibach there is the Franken-Landschulheim Schloss Gaibach, a grammar school with secondary school and boarding school. The Steigerwald-Landschulheim in Wiesentheid is also close to Eichfeld. In addition, the pupils can visit the private monastery high school in Münsterschwarzach.
Associations and associations
Due to the small size of the village, there are only three clubs in Eichfeld. The most important is the fire department . A fire house in the village was mentioned as early as 1650, but the actual establishment of a volunteer fire brigade did not take place until 1874. In 1876, the Eichfeld fire brigade owned a hand pressure syringe and a house right next to the school was converted into a fire station. It was not until 1936 that a motorized syringe could be purchased. In the course of the village renewal in the 1960s, a new fire station with a hose tower was built in 1961 . In 1982 the volunteer fire brigade was re-established in the village. Today there is also a youth guard. Eichfeld owns a portable pump vehicle (TSF) and a fire service trailer (FwA-SA). The fire brigade is headed by the commander Klaus Stapf.
The local trombone choir is connected to the Protestant parish. It was re-established in 1979 on the initiative of Pastor Heinrich Thum and is part of the Steigerwald district in the Association of Protestant Trombone Choirs in Bavaria .
The Eichfeld sports club SV Eichfeld 1973 was founded for athletic training. It was given a sports field in the northwest of the village as early as the 1960s. The club offers soccer, tennis and volleyball.
Personalities
Several personalities worked in Eichfeld who were very significant for the history of the place. In particular, the pastors and village teachers promoted the development of the small village. With Niklas Brobst von Effelt (* after 1450 in Eichfeld; † around 1506 in Volkach), however, the later Volkach town clerk was also born in Eichfeld. He wrote the Volkacher Salbuch and thus codified the jurisprudence in the Würzburg official city. The work became a legal standard work.
The Eichfeld local pastor Johann Lorenz Göbel (* 1622 in Schweinfurt , † 1689 in Eichfeld) took over the parish in 1645. The village was almost uninhabited after the Thirty Years War and the clergyman had to reorganize the municipal administration. He supported the recruitment of new residents and created a new death register . At first Göbel lived in fortified Prichsenstadt before moving to Eichfeld in 1649. The pastor married twice and fathered a total of 17 children, but only a few of them reached adulthood.
His successor Leonhard Biemüller, Protestant local pastor from 1897 to 1913, initiated the construction of the church in 1902. Before that, he had to join the congregation because his predecessor, Georg Deininger, was a supporter of Catholic apostolic teaching.
The village teacher Martin Seubelt (* 1846 in Westheim, † 1920 in Eichfeld) received recognition from the royal Bavarian government in 1898 for his achievements. He had set up a credit association in the village. Because of his merits, a street was renamed Seubeltstrasse.
