Until the church is planted

Frankenwinheim was first mentioned in a document in 779 . The village, which was formerly part of the Wiesentheid rule of the Counts Schönborn, was part of the Franconian Empire from 1500 . It was mediatized by Bavaria in 1806 and, in the course of border adjustments in 1810, left to the Grand Duchy of Würzburg by Archduke Ferdinand of Tuscany , with whom it finally reverted to Bavaria in 1814. In 1818 the political municipality was established.

Viticulture

Frankenwinheim is now an important wine-growing area in the Franconian wine-growing region . There is a vineyard around the village, the wine has been marketed under the name Frankenwinheimer Rosenberg since the 1970s. Frankenwinheim is part of the range Volkacher Main loop until 2017, the wineries in area were Maindreieck summarized. The loamy clay soils around the village are just as suitable for growing wine as the location in the Maingau climate zone, which is one of the warmest in Germany.

The people around Frankenwinheim have been growing wine since the early Middle Ages , mostly for their own use. The Franconian settlers probably brought the vine to the Main in the 7th century. In the Middle Ages, the region was part of the largest contiguous wine-growing region in the Holy Roman Empire. The people mostly operated part-time viticulture for self-sufficiency , at the same time export centers were already emerging, especially along the Main.

After the secularization at the beginning of the 19th century, viticulture had a major decline. Above all, locations with less favorable climatic conditions were completely abandoned. In addition, the emergence of pests such as phylloxera made cultivation difficult . The Franconian wine-growing region was not able to consolidate again until the second half of the 20th century. The use of fertilizer and improved cultivation methods had contributed to this, as had the organization in cooperatives and the land consolidation of the 1970s.

The vineyards in Frankenwinheim today mostly belong to the large winegrowers' cooperatives in the growing area with their headquarters in Nordheim am Main (DIVINO) and Repperndorf ( Winzergemeinschaft Franken ). Nevertheless, the place has developed its own wine culture, which has its most obvious expression in the organization of one of the larger wine festivals in the area at the end of July. Likewise, an own wine princess is chosen in the place, who is to represent the Franconian wine.

traffic

→ Main article : Kitzingen-Schweinfurt railway line

At the end of the 19th century, Frankenwinheim was connected to the Bavarian railway network. In 1893 the Kitzingen- Gerolzhofen section of the so-called Steigerwaldbahn (also Lower Steigerwaldbahn) was completed, and Frankenwinheim was equipped with a stop. The branch line connected from 1903 Kitzingen with the Schweinfurt Hauptbahnhof and was one of the longer branch lines in Germany.

Traffic on the route began to be reduced in the 1980s. In 1981 only passenger buses drove between Gerolzhofen and Kitzingen, freight traffic was given up in mid-2006. For a long time there have been initiatives to reactivate passenger traffic on the disused route. At the beginning of 2019 a fierce dispute broke out over the design of the restart, which has continued to this day, which became a political issue .
