history

Local history

Beginnings

On October 8, 777, a "Eltingis fountain" was mentioned; This fountain refers to today's donkey fountain , which is located near Hammelburg . The mention took place in the context of a border definition of goods that the monastery Fulda had acquired. Among the 21 names mentioned in the document there is, in addition to Counts Heimann and Nidhart and the royal vassals Finold and Gunthram, an Elting. The certificate is the oldest document in the Main Franconian area that is written in Old High German (in addition to the Latin that was customary at the time).

Another documentary mention of a nobleman named "Elting" took place in 838. Wortwin and Richard von Maßbach are said to have owned goods in Eltingshausen between 1164 and 1170 ; In 1216, Count Poppo III pledged. his income from the Ebenhausen office and thus also from the associated Eltingshausen to the Würzburg monastery .

The oldest existing and therefore verifiable mention of Eltingshausen is a Bodenlaubensche document from 1234, in which, according to Monumenta Boica 37 267, an Albertus de Eltingishusen is mentioned as a witness. This refutes the previously common assumption that Eltingshausen was founded in 1286 by Heinrich von und zu Eltingshausen. The place name developed from "Eltingishusen" (= "the houses of Elting"), whereby the ending "-husen" indicates clearing by aristocrats, in the case of Eltingshausen from the Elting family who live in the area of ​​the place.

middle Ages

According Monumenta Boica 37,300 were Albertus de Eltingishusen and his family a gift from Otto von Botenlauben , the owner of the present Kissinger Bad district Reiterswiesen situated castle Botenlauben , to the Bishopric of Würzburg, sold as the Count Castle Bodenlaube to the diocese. Dietrich von Bodenlauben is named for the year 1291 as a fiefdom holder of a property in Eltingshausen.

In 1274 the Ebenhausen, and with it Eltingshausen, came into the possession of Count Hermann II. Henneberg-Aschacher Linie and passed in 1315 after being sold by Heinrich VI. von Henneberg-Aschach to his cousin Heinrich V. von Henneberg-Hartenberg.

Eltingshausen was also mentioned several times in the following years, for example in 1303 when, on the one hand, a Hube in Eltingshausen from Eberhard von Maßbach went to the Frauenroth monastery and, on the other hand, the Botenlaubener feudal men Berthold, Dietrich II. And Marquart von Botenlauben in Eltingshausen basic interest of Received 36 schillings. In 1353 Eltingshausen came to the Würzburg Office of Ebenhausen. The lack of corresponding sources suggests that the Eltingshausen family died out in 1465 with Hans von und zu Eltingshausen; the family property went to the Würzburg monastery.

The citizens of Eltingshausen were victims of bad harvests several times, namely in 1219 by a harsh winter, 1275 by continuous rain, 1306 (hard winter), in the years 1312, 1313, 1346, 1347 and 1348 by drought. In addition, there were plague epidemics in Eltingshausen in 1275, 1313, 1356, 1363, 1425, 1426 and 1437.

There are several signs of the existence of an important traffic route in Eltingshausen such as the enfeoffment of an Apelius von Eltingshausen with customs and administration (in 1333 by Bishop Hermann II. Hummel von Lichtenberg ) and the enfeoffment of Endres von Eltingshausen with the customs of the place (im Year 1374 by Gerhard von Schwarzburg ). Based on the remains of sections of the route, it can be assumed that the road ran past Ebenhausen, Oerlenbach and Terzenbrunn to Kissingen.

Several points of relationship with the Frauenroth Abbey are documented for the 14th century. So Berthold Blümlein got back the family property that had previously been sold to the monastery and undertook to deliver two pounds of Heller and four Malter grain annually. When, after Blümlein's death, his widow could no longer meet her tax obligations, the property returned to the monastery. In the years 1363 and 1370 the goods of two citizens of Eltingshausen went to the monastery.

Another mention of the place comes from the year 1455, when Georg von Henneberg bought goods in Eltingshausen from Eberhard zu Eckertsberg.

Eltingshausen at the beginning of modern times

As part of the peasant uprising of 1525 , Eltingshausen joined the "Bildhäuser Haufen"; the name Seyfried has been passed down from the participating farmers from Eltingshausen. The "Bildhäuser Haufen" failed on June 4, 1525 in Meiningen . His captain Hans Schnabel was extradited by the Eltingshausen council. Eltingshausen was saved from destruction by paying 16  florins . In addition, every housemate had to pay 2.5 florins for three years as compensation for the destruction during the uprising. The peasants were robbed of their cattle; Seyfried and six other farmers were executed during the raid by Prince-Bishop Konrad II von Thüngen .

There are no records of the possible effects of the Second Margrave War in 1552 on Eltingshausen.

From 1552 to 1573 Eltingshausen became Protestant under pastor Jörg Müller, like the other places in the parish of Ebenhausen, as part of the Reformation , which prompted Prince-Bishop Julius Echter von Mespelbrunn to undertake the Counter-Reformation . In all likelihood Eltingshausen belonged to the Catholic faith again at the beginning of the Thirty Years War . During the Bohemian-Palatinate War (1618–1623), the first phase of the Thirty Years' War, the office of Ebenhausen and with it Eltingshausen under Prince-Bishop Johann Gottfried I of Aschhausen were obliged to supply the army, which led to a great emergency among the population led. Eltingshausen was plundered several times to cover advertising costs and the maintenance of the troops. on January 22nd, 1632 the Eltingshausen family flew to Kissingen in front of the approaching Swedes. Compared to the surrounding areas, the damage in Eltingshausen was limited despite multiple looting.

In 1584, after the death of Prince Georg Ernst von Henneberg, Prince Georg Ernst von Henneberg, the last Henneberg, passed to the Bishopric of Würzburg in 1584, including Eltingshausen. Furthermore, the consecration of new altars by Prince-Bishop Julius Echter von Mespelbrunn in Eltingshausen, Hain and Rottershausen is documented from 1585 .

Between 1650 and 1855 the development of Eltingshausen reached a level of development that was to last until a few decades ago.

The town's first schoolhouse was built right next to the old linden tree, probably around the same time as in the neighboring villages of Rottershausen (in 1670) and Oerlenbach (in 1692). Before that, the children had mainly been prepared for their later work on their parents' farm and in the fields. In addition to teaching, the schoolmaster also worked as a sexton ; in addition, the local pastor (until 1919) also worked as a local school inspector.

In the course of the 18th century , the Ebenhausen office, which was combined with the Bodenlauben office in 1670, regulated the appointment of officials such as the mayor , the schoolmaster, the farmer (village master), the community treasurer , field sworns for markings, boundary stones and in Eltingshausen as well Similar things, corridors for the observance of law and order, the shepherd with responsibility for the community cattle, the farm servant, the beggar bailiff to curb begging, the fire inspector with responsibility for fire places and chimneys. This committee met at its meetings, for example, in the village inn, as there was no town hall for this in Eltingshausen.

Another crop failure occurred in 1739 and 1745 (winter, storms, drought), 1770 and 1816. The recurring, energy-sapping catastrophes led to the emigration of some residents to North and East Germany as well as America and Russia.

In 1745 the St. Martin Church was built ; the ceiling frescoes and the altar panel were painted by the painter Johann Andreas Herrlein . In 1824 the church tower was supplemented by a belfry; In 1947/1949 the church was expanded. Nevertheless, the population of Eltingshausen had to attend the service in Ebenhausen as long as the place belonged to the parish of Ebenhausen, which only had a single pastor and a single chaplain. This situation only changed when Eltingshausen became an independent parish in 1855.

Also in 1745, Prince-Bishop Adam Friedrich von Seinsheim began, at the suggestion of the Würzburg captain and engineer Müller, with the construction of a road that ran past Eltingshausen and was supposed to connect Würzburg with Saxony. A route similar to that of the planned Chaussee had already had a route since the 11th century, which in the 13th century was regarded as part of a "Rome pilgrimage route" but received so little attention in the 16th and 17th centuries that it was "on the Main Franconian road map" Franconia ”from 1578/79 is not shown. The route laid out under Prince Bishop Seinsheim was the forerunner of the later B 19 federal road .

During the Seven Years' War from 1759 to 1762 troop movements also took place in the Eltingshausen area. The same applies to the year 1792 as part of the First Coalition War ; In addition, Eltingshausen had to contribute to the war costs in 1796. There is no information about possible fighting in Eltingshausen during the coalition war. In the course of the other coalition wars, Caspar Beck from Eltingshausen was also drafted; his army fought in Russia in 1809 and 1812 . It can be assumed that reports of looting in the neighboring towns also apply to Eltingshausen.

The lack of funds after the coalition wars also had an impact on the expansion of the road network around Eltingshausen and led - among other things, due to frequent changes of government - to a standstill in this area from 1794. Until 1814, under the grand ducal building director Heinrich von Bechmann, only the existing road network was renovated. A few years later, under von Bechmann, the construction of a road - today's Bundesstraße 286 - near Eltingshausen began. This was connected to Kissingen in 1816 under the direction of the royal hydraulic and road construction engineer Schierlinger via a country road running through Oerlenbach and Arnshausen .

Bavarian Kingdom

In 1802 the office of Ebenhausen was dissolved; in 1814 Eltingshausen went with the Würzburg monastery to the Bavarian Kingdom. The farmers were obliged to pay taxes. For the purpose of their collections, a new tithe barn was built in Eltingshausen around the end of the 17th to the middle of the 18th century.

On May 24, 1844, a heavy fire broke out in Eltingshausen from the fork in the local road to Rottershausen up to the upper curve and destroyed 12 houses and 16 barns. As part of the reconstruction work, the local road was widened.

In the 1850s, the no longer needed tithe barn was replaced by a yard; After the barn was partially demolished, its stones were used to build houses.

In 1855, the Eltingshausen parish was established on the basis of a foundation established in 1829. The foundation goes back to Johann Georg Kanz, who was born on January 10, 1752 in Eltingshausen as the son of a teacher and at the end of his life made his fortune available for the purpose of establishing a parish. Kanz's housekeeper added 1,500 guilders to this fortune in her will. Johann Georg Karch, who died of pulmonary consumption on January 29, 1826 at the age of 34, also made his fortune available; His uncle, HH Pastor Alois Karch, who was born in Eltingshausen on February 4, 1799, provided the foundation for an anniversary, a silver standing crucifix and a chalice, as well as a donation of 100 guilders for the side altars.

During the German War of 1866 the 4th JD was stationed near Eltingshausen. During the fighting, the able-bodied youth and the population fled, but were able to return on July 13, 1866. After the war Eltingshausen had eight casualties. In October of that year, the Bavarian King Ludwig II also made a stop in Eltingshausen.

After, on the one hand, the territory of the place had grown and, on the other hand, Prince Bishop Adam Friedrich von Seinsheim had introduced compulsory schooling in Franconia from the age of six (which also included the establishment of an elementary school teacher seminar to ensure the qualification of the teachers), the increasing number of pupils required the year 1869 the construction of the "old school house".

Also in 1869, Eltingshausen was connected to the rail network that had been in development in Mainfranken since 1851 in the form of the “ Ludwigs-West-Bahn ” through the planning of a train station in nearby Oerlenbach. This should take place in the form of a merger of three possible implementation options. The construction of a railway line from Schweinfurt via Oerlenbach to Kissingen was planned; an additional route should lead from Oerlenbach via Münnerstadt and Neustadt to Meiningen. However, the project, the cost of which was set at 6,641,000 marks, failed because Oerlenbach did not want to provide any land, so the planned train station was now in Ebenhausen and the planned rail link to Meiningen was canceled. Difficulties arose during the construction work when, among other things, the construction of the section near Terzenbrunn turned out to be more difficult than expected, which led to the bankruptcy of the construction company. In addition, a construction worker involved in the construction was stabbed to death; Another construction worker from Oerlenbach by the name of Josef Kuhn was killed near the Terzenbrunn by slipping earth. Despite all the difficulties, the construction work was delayed only three weeks, so that the new railway line was opened on September 15, 1871. The construction work led to the settlement of numerous workers from Old Bavaria and the Upper Palatinate, for whom a bakery and two grocery stores were also opened in the village.

Eight men were killed in Eltingshausen during the Franco-Prussian War of 1870/71. The civilian population in Eltingshausen was not harmed, as no fighting took place here.

The situation of the farmers improved in the second half of the 19th century with the establishment of cooperatives and the purchase of machines such as a cleaning mill for grain in 1864, a hand threshing machine in 1872 and the first steam threshing machine.

Before a technical water supply was set up in Eltingshausen, the residents of the village drew their water from three wells in the village, one of which was in front of the Max Karch estate, another at the Kaspar Ziegler estate (now Rosenstrasse) and the third in front of the new school. The residents at the exit of Brünngasse took their water from the "Wetterichsbrünn" and a well located 200 meters to the north of this; a sixth fountain "s klee Brünnle" was on Friedhofsweg 200 meters from the cemetery. The water supply in the village, which has always been difficult, came to a head in 1896 so that the drinking water had to be procured from the Terzenbrunn and the cattle had to be supplied with water from the Franconian Saale . For a longer-term solution to the situation, the drawing of water from the local well was regulated in 1903; further wells were also created in the village.

A renewed increase in the number of pupils was mastered from 1907 to 1910 initially through departmental teaching; in 1910 an assistant teacher was finally hired; west of the church, the so-called "second school" was built in 1912 on the site of a former farm (construction costs: 20,090 marks). Over the next few decades the number of students fluctuated several times; between 1923 and 1934 there was no assistant teacher in town.

First World War and Weimar Republic

The First World War initially sparked enthusiasm in Eltingshausen, but this was soon followed by disillusionment. The order to deliver two church bells for melting down and processing into war goods contributed to the uncertainty. 14 men from Eltingshausen died in the fighting. Most of the returning soldiers came back to Eltingshausen immediately after the end of the war. The field work was done by 15 French prisoners of war during the war, who were also able to return to their homeland after the war.

After the war, life in the village gradually returned to normal. So opened new stores, especially grocery stores and grocery stores. Many shops and factories in the region up to Schweinfurt offered work for the Eltingshausen residents. The working conditions were not always easy and the jobs were unsafe, but a certain livelihood was possible. A sign of the upswing was the increasing number of bicycles, motorcycles and cars in the town.

On the basis of a corresponding contract concluded by Mayor Karch on October 29, 1921, Eltingshaus was connected to the power supply in 1922, which was expanded over the next few years to include street lighting.

In an effort to stabilize the local water supply, the municipal administration decided in 1928 to build a water line to three wells, which were located on Rottershäuser Weg 300 meters outside the village. A Munich company was commissioned to carry out the project. After 30,000 RM had already been built in, the project had to be discontinued because the three wells turned out to be insufficient for a reliable water supply. In the years 1936/37 the connection to the "Zweckverband zur Wasserversorgungs der Rhön-Maintal-Gruppe" followed. For this purpose, 14 hillside springs were set at the foot of the Kreuzberg in the Kellerbachtal and a pipeline was laid to Eltingshausen. At the Hörith, a height in the northwest of Eltingshausen, an elevated tank was inaugurated on November 14, 1937, the pressure of which had to be increased by a pump over time due to the development of higher-lying areas and its capacity in the 1960s from 1,000 m³ was increased to 3,000 m³.

In May 1960, an architecture firm was commissioned to build a local sewer system in order to prevent diseases and epidemics from the existing sewage supply in the ditches. Eltingshausen joined the “Obere Werntalgemeinden” sewage association to improve the implementation of the project, and its plans extended to Oerlenbach. From 1963 to 1966, the underground pipes were laid that lead the wastewater via Oerlenbach to the fully biological sewage treatment plant in Geldersheim .

National Socialism and World War II

The first signs of the Nazi era in Eltingshausen were the founding of Hitler Youth associations and adult organizations in 1933, although their activities in the town were limited. The beginnings of euphoria at the beginning of the Second World War gave way to mourning when the first person from Eltingshausen, 19-year-old Ludwig Markert, died in the war. The local men who were called up, whose labor was lacking in the fields during the war, were makeshiftly replaced by farm workers from Poland. Because of the air war in the Rhineland and the Saar area , numerous families living there were housed in Eltingshausen during the war.

On August 17, 1943, the first attack on Schweinfurt, which housed the ball bearing industry important to the war effort, could be felt as far as Eltingshausen. Another attack on Schweinfurt also killed three men from Eltingshausen who had found work in Schweinfurt. Eltingshausen itself was endangered several times, for example when a hit bomber flew over the town but was able to make an emergency landing in Elfershausen . In April 1944, an enemy plane dropped bombs over Eltingshausen, which landed in the field. From mid-1944 onwards, there were more and more low-flying attacks over the place, aimed at the Muna and the air tank farm in Oerlenbach and impairing work in the field. Shortly before the end of the war, numerous Muna workers, mostly Russians, begged for food. A German machine was shot down by five American fighter planes; any help came too late for the pilot. On March 30, 1945, Good Friday, Eltingshausen was the target of bombing.

At the end of March / beginning of April 1945, American troops moving to Hammelburg reached Eltingshausen; two German soldiers died defending the place; a barn caught fire. During the extinguishing work, three German soldiers were shot by American soldiers because of their armament, and two civilians were injured (one of the soldiers was killed immediately, two others seriously injured. One of the two civilians died a week later, the other recovered after a long time from his serious injuries). The next day Eltingshausen fell for good. After the withdrawal of the US troops, rear guards and supply units controlled the place for another week. The area was searched for wounded and war material. The total of five fallen soldiers (three German and two American) were initially buried in the Eltingshausen cemetery, but later reburied in military cemeteries.

Even after the end of the war, two American planes collided over Eltingshausen. One of the pilots was killed, the other was able to save himself with the ejection seat.

On August 30, 1953, a war memorial was inaugurated in Eltingshausen for the fallen and missing from the town. It bears the names of the 28 fallen soldiers from Eltingshausen. Some families in the village also had missing people to complain about.

Eltingshausen after 1945

After the war, the village community changed, as some families evacuated to Eltingshausen stayed in the village. Companies and businesses settled here. As a result of the settlement of refugee families, the number of pupils rose to 152 children and required the employment of a third teacher. After the third teaching position had to be canceled in 1949 due to a further decrease in the number of pupils, a third teacher was recruited in 1961 due to a sufficiently large number of pupils.

Due to an increase in energy demand, modernization of the local electricity network began on July 6, 1957; In addition, the street lamps were converted to fluorescent tubes and their number increased to 91.

From 1958 to 1964 the Eltingshausen land consolidation took place. The land consolidation created the necessary space for the construction of new properties and (in 1965) the construction of a new cemetery and made it possible to build a connection road to Rottershausen ; furthermore, the appearance of the place became more urban.

In the 1960s, the Eltingshausen pastor Hugo Conrad, who was also entrusted with pastoral care in Oerlenbach, was commissioned by the episcopal authority to build a new Oerlenbach church. This also meant his move to the parsonage newly built in this context in Oerlenbach; However, the concerns expressed by many of Eltingshausen's citizens about disadvantaging their location turned out to be unfounded.

On November 1, 1960, renovation of the old school began due to the sanitary facilities in need of renovation; the modernization of the new school took place in the following year. By resolution of May 28, 1969, the Catholic denominational schools in Oerlenbach, Ebenhausen and Eltingshausen were replaced by an association school based in Oerlenbach. The building of the old school in Eltingshausen was used as a youth home, while a grocery store was set up in that of the new school.

In 1966, a public garbage collection began in Eltingshausen, which was initially implemented by an entrepreneur commissioned by the municipality in the form of weekly garbage disposal and in 1974 came under the administration of the district.

On 1 January 1972 Eltingshausen was in the context of municipal reform , together with the communities Ebenhausen , Oerlenbach and Rottershausen district of Oerlenbach.

The increasing demand for electrical energy in Eltingshausen made it necessary to modernize the power grid again; this consisted of a replacement of the roof racks up to then by laying power cables underground. On January 1, 1985, the switchgear set up by Bayernwerk in 1963/64 , which forwards the electricity generated in Schweinfurt to Eltingshausen, was transferred to the overland plant.

Buildings and plants

St. Martin's Church

Today's St. Martin's Church was consecrated in 1745 and replaced a previous building that was most likely built in the 14th century. From 1744 to 1746 the nave of today's church building was built; at the same time a new cemetery was laid out.

The first renovation took place between 1909 and 1911. In 1947, after a year of preparation, an expansion of the church began, which was consecrated by Bishop Julius Döpfner on November 11, 1949 after the renovation work was completed.

tradition

Rattle

The rattling is a custom that is cultivated in Catholic areas, also in Eltingshausen, during Holy Week . Children (formerly acolytes ) move through the streets with rattles (wooden instruments) to remind the believers of the times of prayer (as the church bells do not ring during this time) and devotions with different sayings .

In Eltingshausen, the children meet shortly before the rattling at the Backhäusle and are led by the rattling bosses (confirmers of the current year; since there is no longer a confirmation in town every year, the current 7th grade can also be taken) the groups (Oberdorf & Unterdorf ) assigned. Depending on the number of children, the children split up so that all streets can be walked down. After the children have walked a few meters, the stock shifter raises his hand or ratchet over his head while marching, and the rest of the group stops ratcheting. When the last ratchet has stopped, the saying is said before the ratchet continues.

Club life

A major fire in May 1844, in which 75% of the property in Eltingshausen was destroyed, led to the establishment of a "vigilante" in the same year. On July 1, 1873 at the latest, a fire brigade association was established in the village , which from May 11, 1888 also belonged to the Bavarian State Fire Brigade Association . For a long time May 1888 was also regarded as the reason. From 1897 the association had a suction and pressure syringe and from 1980 a mobile, 12 meter long extension ladder. One of the effects of NSDAP rule on the association was that the position of commandant was replaced by that of a military leader. In 1957, the association acquired the first TS 8/8 motorized sprayer; In the following year the association organized the first fire brigade festival including a pageant in town under the motto “70 years of volunteer fire brigade”. After the association celebrated the construction of the fire station with crew room and the purchase of the TSF portable fire pump and a fire siren with a small party in May 1973 , a large party was celebrated in May 1974 with church service and flag consecration as well as a pageant through Eltingshausen. When the archive of the Eltingshausen community was relocated to Oerlenbach in 1980/81 as part of the local government reform , founding documents, the founding statutes and the founding deed emerged, through which July 1, 1873 turned out to be the actual founding date of the association. Due to a lack of dates, the 110-year-old founding party was celebrated at the fire station on July 17 and 18, 1983, and a large festival with a pageant was held from May 19 to 21, 1984. Nowadays, only one third of the field of activity of the fire service consists of fire fighting ; in the meantime technical assistance in the event of accidents and other emergencies.

To promote camaraderie among war veterans, the Warrior Association was set up in Eltingshausen in 1882. On January 25, 1899, the church consecration of the flag purchased for 700 gold marks took place. The Eltingshausen Warrior Association was also affected by the ban on the war clubs after the end of the Second World War ; but it was re-established on June 1, 1953. On May 1, 1967, the association joined the DSKB, which resulted in its renaming to "Soldiers and Warrior Comradeship". On June 14, 1970, Pastor Rützel carried out the church consecration of the flag, which was restored for 1,200 DM.

In 1902 the choral society Fidelia came into being and developed a flourishing club life. The flag of the club, later renamed Gesangverein Frohsinn , was consecrated in 1952. When the last conductor, Hubert Stickelmaier, resigned from office, the still officially existing association came to a standstill.

The football club FC Frankonia Eltingshausen was founded in the summer of 1912 under the name FC Viktoria Eltingshausen . After the impairments caused by the First World War from 1914 onwards, the club was not able to resume gaming until 1917. In 1920 there were rifts among the younger members, whereupon 30 members founded a new club with FC Frankonia Eltingshausen in the same year ; who was dedicated to sport and social events both within the club and throughout the village. On September 9, 1923, Pastor Josef Frey carried out the church standard consecration of the newly acquired flag. The club joined the "Employers Sports Association" (1927) and the " German Football Association " (November 20, 1933). Due to the Second World War , gaming operations came to a standstill again and could only be resumed on March 1, 1946. Due to the denazification measures , the board of directors was reshaped in 1947; After the currency reform of 1948 , the club fund had to be restructured. The sports field "Am Wasserwerk", which is still owned by the club, was acquired in 1950 for DM 2,000 and inaugurated in 1955; the inauguration of the clubhouse took place on September 13, 1959. After promotion to the B-class in 1951 and a temporary stay in the C-class (1955), the club played its way through the B-class (1956) to the A-class ( from 1957 to 1959). One of the first successes of youth work was reaching the championship in group 8 in 1966. After expansion work on the clubhouse, its re-inauguration took place on May 11, 1972; this also formed the prelude to the celebrations from 18 to 23 May for the 60th anniversary of the club, during which a new flag was consecrated. In November 1972 a women's gymnastics group was established in the club. In 1973, the football department just missed promotion to the A-class. After relegating to the C-class in 1976, the team returned to the B-class in 1978, but in 1980 they were relegated to the C-class. On November 23, 1979 a tennis department was founded, which started with 50 participants. In 1980 the youth soccer team reached district class 2 and held it until 1983. On August 19, 1980, expansion work began in the sports facility, and the club's three tennis courts were built in 1981 and 1982. In 1983 the 400th member was accepted; a year later a new sports field was built, which was inaugurated in May 1985. After the team's brief promotion to the B-class in 1984, they returned to the C-class a year later.

The Eltingshausen Boys' Association was founded in 1924 by the newly appointed pastor Leo Simon; the flag of the 50-60 member association was issued in 1925. At the beginning of the NSDAP rule, the Eltingshausen boys' association was also affected by the ban on fraternities; the club flag was saved from the threat of destruction by burning by hiding in a private house.

In 1924, Pastor Leo Simon founded what is now the St. Martin Kindergarten Association , which was initially called the Johannis Branch Association ; on October 11th, the statutes were registered at the Bad Kissingen district court. On May 9, 1926, Matron M. Franka and M. Hermenfrieda from the "Sisters of the Holy Redeemer" were able to set up a nurses' station and a children's institution and outpatient nursing in the room in the second school post that had become vacant the previous month. When the premises were used again for teaching purposes, the children's prison was temporarily housed in Edmund Hemberger's property from May 9, 1934, and a little later moved into its own building on a property provided by farmer Konrad Werner, which was inaugurated in October 1938. Even during the Second World War , the kindergarten was able to continue to look after children and after the war made its premises available for church services and baptisms during the renovation of the church. On January 27, 1963, the club after the patron saint of the place, which was St. Martin in St. Martin's club renamed. Due to a lack of new nurses, the nurses station had to be abandoned on October 15, 1966. From its reopening on August 1, 1967, the kindergarten was looked after by a pedagogical specialist. In 1975 the kindergarten was rebuilt and expanded; the new building was inaugurated on October 12th by Dean Wilhelm Zirkelbach . Even after a temporary decline in the number of children cared for in the early 1980s, two groups of children could not be cared for.

In 1949, the Sulzthal and the surrounding area was a riding club in Eltingshausen that provided half of the club's members. In 1952 the club organized a horse show in town. Three years later, the club had to stop its activities because fewer and fewer horses were kept.

Shortly after the end of the Second World War , two citizens of Eltingshausen laid the foundation stone for Eltingshausen's later music lovers , when, with the help of musicians from abroad, they created music for church and other festive occasions. In the course of time, younger members could also be won. Another influx in 1982 meant the expansion of the repertoire to include light music. At this time the association got its name Musikfreunde Eltingshausen .

On September 25, 1954, the carrier pigeon club 05923 "Schlagtreue" Eltingshausen was initially in nearby Poppenhausen. On the same evening, the mind and the club name were chosen and the affiliation to the Schweinfurt travel association decided. One of the first successes of the early years was that two club members became RV champions. In 1962, when general cargo handling was stopped in Poppenhausen, the association moved its headquarters first to Ebenhausen and then, with the closure of the Ebenhausen “Bahnhofhotel” in 1967, to Eltingshausen. In 1969 the club went under the name "Schlagtreue Eltingshausen" to RV Bad Kissingen. In 1972 the club was the overall winner at the RV show. The association gets involved every year in the flights of the " Aktion Sorgekind ".

There are no more documents about the founding of the LKKSB Hubertus Eltingshausen , the predecessor club of today's shooting club Hubertus Eltingshausen . Today's shooting club Hubertus Eltingshausen was established on April 3, 1965. In a general meeting on April 24, 1965, the financing of a club facility was regulated. The first of several successes was the Plas as the second C-class winner of the Rhön-Saale-Gau in 1965; there the club was regularly present at the top of the individual or team competition from 1970. On January 26, 1973 the statutes of the association were entered in the register of associations, on March 19, 1973 its non-profit status was recognized by the Schweinfurt tax office. In the same year the club was enriched with a coat of arms and the club room was rebuilt. In 1974 the club acquired a mobile car as a shooting gallery and a club flag. In the course of the year, the association organized numerous successful events such as the ten-year founding party with the Gaukönigsschießen and flag consecration, German-American friendship shooting and friendship shooting with the Federal Border Guard. After appropriate preliminary planning, a contract was concluded with the municipality of Oerlenbach on April 30, 1984 for a shooting range integrated into the multi-purpose hall there.

When the first senior citizens met for the senior citizens' community in 1976, the Eltingshausen senior citizens were still not very popular. This changed in 1981 with a change in leadership. Half-day trips and, in winter, meetings in the community hall were organized. The Eltingshausen seniors achieved a pioneering role in the dean's office in the field of care for the elderly.

The Eltingshausen association came into being in 1975 as part of the town's first local festival, when money was collected for the construction of a children's playground between Steinstrasse and St. Martin Strasse. The association set itself the task of coordinating the local associations and promoting customs in favor of cultural and social life in the village. The Eltingshausen association soon became a role model for other village associations in the region. In 1977 the club established a traditional costume dance group.
