Only 6% of the measuring stations in Germany register lower seasonal fluctuations and only 31% of the stations register lower annual values.

history
Until the 18th century
A first trace of the existence of a settlement in Euerdorf emerges from a document from the year 716. At that time, the Thuringian-Franconian Duke Hetan II gave the Frisian missionary Willibrord all of his possessions that belonged to him in the Saalegau near the "hamulo Castellum". St. Willibrord handed over these properties to the Echternach monastery which he founded . In 907 the Echternach monastery exchanged its possessions in the Saale valley with the Fulda monastery . The document from 716 in connection with this one from the year 907 provides with the content and the interpretation essential knowledge about the history of Euerdorf.
Euerdorf has had market rights since 1430 . In 1494 the Willibrords Chapel was mentioned in a document in the municipality's cemetery. At the time of the Würzburg prince-bishop Julius Echter von Mespelbrunn (1573-1617), the market town was surrounded by a circular wall with three gates, of which parts of the wall with a defensive tower and the upper gatehouse are still preserved. Today's Ringstrasse follows the course of this wall. In their place there used to be a ditch.
19th to 21st century
In the secularization of 1803 the former office of the Hochstift Würzburg, which belonged to the Franconian Empire , fell to Bavaria, but in 1805 it left it to Archduke Ferdinand of Tuscany in exchange for Tyrol to form the Grand Duchy of Würzburg . In 1814 it finally came to Bavaria and became the Lower Main District (today Lower Franconia).
In the period from 1802 to 1804 a regional court and the rent office were created in Euerdorf, both of which belonged to 24 towns. The district court was called from 1880 district court and was repealed in 1925 and added to the jurisdiction of the district court Hammelburg
The Catholic parish church of St. Johann Baptist (St. John the Baptist) dates from 1602. After a fire on September 15, 1872, it was rebuilt in the late Gothic style and expanded between 1974 and 1977. Today Euerdorf with Aura, Ramsthal, Sulzthal and Wirmsthal belongs to the parish community of Saalethal.
In 1924 Euerdorf received a railway connection by closing the gap in the Franconian Saale Valley Railway between Hammelburg and Bad Kissingen.
After the Second World War, construction activity in Euerdorf was limited to the south side of the hall until 1964. After that, the development was carried out, especially on the northern side, in a loosened-up style of construction in contrast to the small-scale, closed-off historical part.
At the beginning of June 2011, the geotope dinosaur tracks Euerdorf am Saalrangen in Euerdorf was officially included (No. 98) in the 100 most beautiful geotopes in Bavaria by the Bavarian State Office for the Environment. These are archosaur footprints and dinosaur precursors that were found in 2007 during clean-up work after Hurricane Kyrill .
On 25 October 2013 the market Euerdorf by the Bavarian Minister of Agriculture was Helmut Brunner the Bavarian State Prize 2013 - village renewal and building culture for the project Terra Triassica awarded.
