history

The deanery district is located in the border area with Thuringia. In the age of the Reformation there were smaller knightly possessions between the major principalities of Würzburg bishopric and the princes of Henneberg , which served as a buffer zone.

The rule of Henneberg-Römhild- Schwarza became Protestant in 1545 and with it the place Hendungen with Bahra , Rappershausen and Roßrieth . After the extinction of Henneberg-Römhild-Schwarza in 1549, the possessions fell to Henneberg-Schleusingen, which also went out in 1583. Thereupon the Hochstift Würzburg demanded Meiningen, which it had exchanged for Mainberg with Henneberg-Schleusingen in 1542. Instead, however, Würzburg was given Hennberg's free float, such as Hendungen, where the Counter-Reformation took hold in 1589. The rule of Henneberg-Schleusingen included Behrungen with Gollmuthhausen , Mühlfeld with Eußenhausen, Helmershausen with Weimar forges and Stedlingen with Filke , Sands , Neustädtles and Willmars . Protestant teaching was introduced there in 1544. Eußenhausen became Catholic again in the Counter Reformation in 1589. Today Helmershausen and Stedlingen are in Thuringia. The Henneberg-Römhild-Römhild line had not turned to the Reformation and sold their properties in what is now Bavaria. In 1549 the Counts of Mansfeld acquired a quarter of Mellrichstadt, Ostheim , Rothausen , Trappstadt and Weimarschmieden . The Reformation was introduced in 1553/1554. The rights in Mellrichstadt were sold to Würzburg in 1551. In 1555 the Mansfelder handed over the possessions to Saxony's Ernestine Line . Trappstadt became Catholic again in the Counter Reformation in 1592. In 1596 Ostheim and Helmershausen came to Saxony-Eisenach, Rothausen and Römhild to Saxony-Coburg.

The Lichtenberg office , which had developed from the Lichtenburg north of Ostheim vor der Rhön , changed hands frequently from 1366 onwards due to pledging by the Fulda monastery . The affiliation of individual places to the Lichtenberg office fluctuates due to multiple pledges, partial repurchases and inheritance divisions. Count Otto von Henneberg-Aschach sold the office of Lichtenberg and half Salzungen to his nephew Count Hermann VIII von Henneberg-Aschach on the Henneberg-Aschach-Römhild line in 1501. Count Hermann VIII divided his property between his sons Bertold and Albrecht. Bertold received the office of Lichtenberg in 1532. In 1548 Bertold sold his entire principality to his brothers-in-law, the Counts of Mansfeld. At that time Ostheim, Sondheim vor der Rhön , Stetten vor der Rhön and Urspringen vor der Rhön belonged to the Lichtenberg office. The Reformation was introduced in 1553/1554. Oberwaldbehrungen was already given to the lords of the Tann as a fief in 1480 , but was a branch of Uspringen until 1670 and thus also evangelical from 1553/1554.

Hermann von Henneberg – Aschach inherited from his father Count Hermann VIII. A. a. Sondheim im Grabfeld and Hendungen. These possessions also went to the Counts of Mansfeld and in 1555 to the Ernestines . The community of Sondheim in Grabfeld parish in Berkach, which remained Catholic. The population therefore attended the services in Behrungen, which was noticed in 1555 during a visit.

Höchheim and its daughter church Aubstadt became Protestant around 1530 under Baron von Bibra . From 1650, Höchheim and Aubstadt were a combined parish. The Reformation was introduced by Baron von Bibra in Irmelshausen around 1540 .

The Reformation was introduced in Sulzdorf an der Lederhecke around 1555 by Truchseß von Wetzhausen . Evangelical preaching is said to have taken place there since 1537. From 1628 to 1649 the place was temporarily Catholic again due to the Counter Reformation. In Sternberg and Zimmerau , Truchseß von Wetzhausen was also the village lord. Wolf Dietrich II converted to Catholicism in 1675. Contrary to the provisions of the normal year of the Peace of Westphalia , attempts were made to re-Catholicize the villages. That was successful in Sternberg. Zimmerau became partially Catholic, as the two churches still bear witness to today.

After the von Waltershausen family died out in 1456, Christoph Marschalk von Ostheim came under partial ownership of Waltershausen im Grabfeld . His son Moritz I. Marschalk von Ostheim bought the rest of the rule. Moritz I joined the Reformation in 1522 as one of the first Franconian noble families. The church in Walterhausen was henceforth the family burial place instead of the traditional place in the Bildhausen monastery .
