history
Parishes and parishes
In today's deanery district, the majority of the area was owned by the Würzburg monastery during the Reformation . The Reformation was only able to gain a foothold in individual localities, 21 in the deanery district. It was not until the Bavarian period from 1803 onwards that new Protestant communities could be founded through an edict of tolerance.
The noble family of the von Wolffskeel
The noble family of barons and later counts Wolffskeel von Reichenberg changed to the Augsburg Confession in the middle of the 16th century . The parishes in their domain south of Würzburg became Protestant. Around 1550 these were Alberthausen and Lindflur , around 1555 Reichenberg and Üngershausen with the Geroldshausen branch . In Rottenbauer , Jakob and Hans von Wolffskeel converted to the Protestant faith between 1570 and 1581. Fuchsstadt belonged to Rottenbauer as a branch. Uettingen has been Protestant since around 1528, but it was not until 1625 that Wolffskeel owned it.
The county of Castell
The Grafschaft Castell came by inheritance after the extinction of the Counts of Wertheim by settlements on November 8th, 1558 to half the village of Remlingen and on September 28th and 30th, 1559 to Billingshausen and Oberaltertheim and Unteraltertheim . Count Georg II von Wertheim had already converted to the new faith in 1522. The Reformation found its way into Remlingen in 1525, in Billingshausen around 1526, in Oberaltertheim around 1530 and before 1548 in Unteraltertheim.
The county of Limpurg-Speckfeld
Protestant teaching was introduced in the county of Limpurg-Speckfeld between 1540 and 1555. During the Reformation, Lindelbach , Sommerhausen , Westheim and Winterhausen belonged to the rulership .
The sable to Giebelstadt
In the parish of Herchsheim and the Giebelstadt branch, the Reformation was introduced in 1601 by the von Zobel zu Giebelstadt .
St. Stephan in Würzburg
The Würzburg Benedictine monastery St. Stephan was secularized in 1802. After the Bavarian Edict of Tolerance was issued on January 10, 1803, a Protestant community was able to form. The newly founded parish was assigned to St. Stephan as a church.
Dean's office
The Bavarian deanery was established after a new division of the Bavarian Protestant deanery on April 19, 1827 with the parish of Würzburg St. Stephan, which was free of the deanery. It also took over the parishes of the disbanded dean's office in Albertshausen: Albertshausen, Fuchsstadt, Herchsheim, Lindelbach, Rottenbauer, Sommerhausen, Uengershausen, Westheim and Winterhausen. The Thüngen parish was taken over from the Thüngen deanery. From April 1, 1836, the Remlingen dean's office added: Billingshausen, Oberaltertheim, Remlingen, Üttingen and Unteraltertheim, as well as Eschau, which was later handed over to Wertheim.
