Marking of Füttersee

The Effeltrich desert lies in the area around Füttersee . The village was abandoned in the 14th century, today only the Effelter Berg area reminds of the settlement. For a long time, the hammer mill was the last structural remnant of this village. The wasteland Hundsrangen is also located on the Füttersee district, the area of ​​the former municipality of Füttersee.

history

The Gothic altar in the church

The place name Füttersee refers to the natural conditions in the area around the village. The ending -see goes back to the Middle High German word sē , which means pond or pond. A large reservoir was probably created there on the Reichen Ebrach, in which the monks from Münchaurach Monastery raised the fish that were consumed during Lent . The village was located on the “pond where fish are fattened”.

The village was first mentioned in a spring from 1158. At that time, the Münchaurach monastery and its possessions were placed under the personal protection of Emperor Friedrich Barbarossa , including the village of "Futerse". In the 13th century the monastery was part of the domain of the Counts of Castell . In 1287 Count Heinrich II sold some goods in "Fůterse", Bischwind and Traustadt . In addition to the counts, the Haug collegiate monastery from Würzburg was also wealthy in the village.

After Count Hermann II zu Castell had sold the share of his house in the village to the Ebrach monastery in the 14th century , Füttersee finally became part of the Cistercian monastery in the Steigerwald in 1311. In 1311 the Haug Abbey also sold its share of "Wůsthenfuterse". The prefix Wůsthen- probably indicates an abandoned development site near the village. The monastery probably converted its newly acquired property into a curia. In 1340, the village appeared in Urbar on the abbey.

A document from 1407 describes the events in "Futerse villa" (Füttersee, the village). Among other things, there were eight and a half mansions and a mill. The nearby desert had become a curia . In 1504 a distinction was made between “Dorffüterse” and “Hochfüterse”. The Lords of Vestenberg now had two estates in the village . After 1592 the village was part of the Burghaslach monastery office. The curia dropped the suffix and was only called Hoch or Hof.

At the beginning of the 16th century, in 1527, Füttersee had become Protestant. A preacher from Burghaslach was appointed as the new pastor. Now the Ebrach monastery also lost its influence over the settlement. In 1582, for example, the brothers von Rosenberg zu Haltebergstetten were found to be tithe in “Futtersehe”. In 1653 the Carthusian monks from Ilmbach acquired half a tithe over the village, which was sometimes also called "Futershain".

After 1681 at the latest, the identity of the curia and its former affiliation with the village were forgotten. Today Hof is part of the municipality of Ebrach. "Füttersehe" appeared again in an Ebrach description of goods from 1692. In 1791 the place was mentioned as "Vitterse" in a document .

Former parish

For over a century, the rural community of Füttersee consisted only of the main town and Hammermühle and covered around 446 hectares . The Hundsrangen part of the municipality was added around 1950. On January 1, 1972, the community was incorporated into the newly formed large community Geiselwind.

Culture and sights

Architectural and natural monuments

The village's Protestant parish church is consecrated to St. Lawrence. The building originally dates from the 14th century, but changes were made to the nave as early as the 15th century . The oldest furnishing element is the winged altar from 1510, which is comparable to that in the Abbotswind parish church. The pulpit was added to the church after a further renovation in 1709.

In addition to several Franconian farmhouses, there are also some 19th century courtyard gate posts in Füttersee. The former school is a single-storey hipped roof building from 1796. A late medieval stone cross stands in the hallway around the village.

Imperial oak

The so-called imperial oak is a natural monument . According to legend, the oak is said to have been planted at the time of Charlemagne , but has bark features that suggest an age between 600 and 800 years. The tree is one of the 500 oldest trees in Germany and was added to the list of the thickest oaks in Germany. The chest height is 7.95 m (2015).

legend

Between Geiselwind and Füttersee there is a cross stone on the edge of a field in the bushes. A carpenter is said to have been killed at this point , which is why the stone was decorated with an ax . One day the miller Ulrich from Fütterse was walking this way home and found a heap of glowing coals by the side of the path next to the stone. The miller thought that children had started the fire while they tended their animals here.

He ran up to it and tried to light his pipe with one of the coals . He took one out of the embers and put it in the bowl of the pipe . But the coal did not light the pipe and the miller went home without having achieved anything. But when he wanted to light his pipe there, instead of the coal, he discovered a ducat lying in the bowl of the pipe. If he had rummaged through the coal with his pipe bowl, a treasure would have appeared that would have belonged to him.
