history

Parishes and parishes

The county of Rieneck

Count Philip III. von Rieneck introduced the Reformation in 1543 in his county with headquarters in Lohr am Main. After his death in 1559, the male line of the count's house became extinct, so that the majority of the county came to the Archbishopric of Mainz as a defunct fief and subsequently became Catholic again. Half of Partenstein fell to the Counts of Hanau and was able to maintain his evangelical faith. Hanau had the right to present the pastors and only proposed Lutheran pastors to the Archbishopric of Mainz , even after Hanau had accepted the Reformed Confession in 1595 . Eschau, Hofstetten and Kleinheubach fell to the Counts of Erbach and also remained Protestant. Today they are in the deanery district of Aschaffenburg .

The Thüngensche Cent

The barons of Thüngen had high jurisdiction and thus the sovereignty of the state and thus also claimed church sovereignty in their direct imperial territory, which is still called Thüngensche Cent . Since the Peace of Augsburg in 1555, the imperial knighthood was allowed to determine the religion of its subjects anyway. The Reformation was introduced in Zeitlofs in 1553. In 1557 Eckarts came to Zeitlofs as a branch. Bernhard and Eberhard von Thüngen introduced the Reformation in Burgsinn in 1564 . After the Counter-Reformation, the few remaining inhabitants in the Mainz Rcess were given the right to jointly use the church and a special altar there on the right. In 1704 a separate parish was founded. The Reformation was also introduced in Detter at the instigation of the Lords of Thüngen. Dittlofsroda became Protestant in 1553, Catholic again in 1630 due to the Counter Reformation and restituted in 1653. The church in Heiligkreuz dates from the 12th century. As the original branch of Dittlofsroda, the Reformation also found its way here. Völkersleier has a turbulent church history. The Reformation was introduced here as a branch of Dittlofsroda. In 1577 a third of the village was taken over by Messrs. Thüngen sold to the Julius Hospital in Würzburg . The residents, who then became Catholic, wanted Mr. Thüngen do not make any concessions. In 1688 the Vogt of the Juliusspital had the church door broken open with 50 men and the Catholic. Pastor of Wolfsmünster perform a baptism. After similar incidents, Catholics were allowed to share the church. The place Heßdorf belonged to the manor Reußenberg. Since the time of the Reformation it has been associated with Thüngenschen Höllrich as a combined parish. In 1530 the gentlemen v. Thüngen introduce the Reformation in Weickersgrüben . The place was henceforth mixed denominational. In 1724 the Protestant residents were granted the right to use their church, which had been torn away during the Counter-Reformation, which they renounced in 1911 in order to build their own church. The inauguration took 50 years to come due to the world wars. Weißenbach has been owned by the von Thüngen family since 1358 and is still their residence today. In 1526 the evangelical faith was accepted, as in all Thüngenschen possessions, in agreement with the subjects.

The noble women's monastery Waizenbach

The noble women's monastery Waizenbach was founded in 1734 to care for the daughters of Protestant Franconian noble families. The foundation exists to this day.

Dispute middle sense

The legal situation in religious questions was particularly complicated in the medium-term , since there was a condominium from Catholic lords, the Julius Hospital Würzburg as the mediator of the Würzburg bishopric , and Protestant lords, the Landgraves of Hesse-Kassel . On May 25, 1671, it was agreed in the Hammelburger Receß that the Mittelinner Kirch belonged to the Protestants alone, while the churches in Aura and Obersinn should be reserved for Catholics.

Diaspora community Geroda

The Reformation was introduced in Geroda in 1550 by Hans von Bibra . Canon law passed to von der Tann at the beginning of the 17th century .

The fate of Bonnland

The Reformation was introduced in the village of Bonnland by Otto Wilhelm von Thüngen and Mr. von Bonnland and Greifenstein. In 1938 the village was relocated because of the expansion of the neighboring military training area. In 1945 former residents and displaced persons came to the town. The church was used simultaneously at that time. The military training area was taken over by the Bundeswehr and the population was resettled again. On March 1, 1957, the parish was dissolved. After extensive renovation work, the church was consecrated again on September 23, 1979 and has served Protestant and Catholic military chaplaincy ever since.
