The Evangelical Lutheran deanery in Kitzingen is one of the 19 deaneries in the Ansbach-Würzburg church district . Acting dean is Kerstin Baderschneider.

history

In today's deanery district, around 40% of the population are Protestant and 45% Catholic . Some congregations have long evangelical traditions up to the Reformation period . This is due to the rulership structure in the 16th century. The Hochstift Würzburg had large estates in the area of ​​the Main Triangle . Other rulers were the Margraviate of Brandenburg-Ansbach , the Grafschaft Castell and the Imperial Knighthood .

In addition to its own territory, the Principality of Ansbach also had the pledge of the Benedictine monastery in Kitzingen and enforced the Reformation there in 1528. The Counter Reformation took place in the Kitzinger Pfandorten from 1629 to 1632 and 1643 . In 1650 the restitution took place through the Peace of Westphalia . The associated places were Albertshofen (1650 to 1857 Catholic joint use of the church), Buchbrunn (1702-1804 Catholic joint use of the church), Repperndorf (1650–1910 Catholic joint use of the church), Rödelsee (Simultaneum 1651–1780) and Schernau. In Kitzingen itself, a Protestant parish was created alongside the Catholic parish in 1650. Mainstockheim had a similar fate. The place was disputed between Würzburg, the owner of the high jurisdiction and the bailiffs Ansbach, Ebrach monastery and v. Bechtolsheim . The interests of Würzburg and Ansbach also met in Neuses am Berg. In 1589, Ansbach received the right of patronage by donation . Before 1576 the place became Protestant. In 1628 the Counter Reformation took place, in 1650 the restitution with the Catholic right to joint use of the church until 1784. Kleinlangheim, Mainbernheim, Marktsteft, Obernbreit and Sickershausen belonged directly to the Principality of Ansbach and have been Protestant since 1528. Kaltensondheim belonged to the Erlach manor , which was owned by the barons of Seinsheim and , from 1566, by the counts of Schwarzenberg . Johann zu Schwarzenberg was a keen supporter of the Reformation. He and his son introduced the Reformation in Bullenheim, Dornheim, Geiselwind, Herrnsheim, Hüttenheim, Iffigheim, Markt Scheinfeld, Seinsheim and Weigenheim by around 1540. In 1588 the Protestant line of the Schwarzenberg died out. Johann the Younger wanted the Reformation to endure and transferred church power to Ansbach in a will. In the Counter-Reformation from 1626 to 1627, Schwarzenberg defied this so that all parishes became Catholic again. Although the normal year was valid for all parishes according to the Peace of Westphalia , the parishes remained Catholic. Marktbreit was jointly owned by von Seckendorff and Freiherr von Seinsheim and became Protestant in 1551. Fröhstockheim was a knightly place under those of Heßberg , from 1531 by Crailsheim . The Reformation was introduced there around 1530. During the Reformation, Segnitz was jointly owned by the Zobel von Giebelstadt and the Auhausen monastery . The monastery was abolished by Ansbach during the Reformation, so that Ansbach succeeded him in Segnitz from 1535. The church patronage was with the Zobel and the Haug monastery . After the Haug Abbey was closed in 1601, Protestant teaching could be introduced.

Kitzingen is the birthplace of the reformer Paul Eber . His theology studies took him to Wittenberg , where he also died.
