geography

Hostage wind from the north

Geographical location

The place is east of Würzburg . On the edge of the municipality is the Dreifrankenstein , where the three Franconian administrative districts of Lower Franconia , Middle Franconia and Upper Franconia meet.

The core town of Geiselwind is located in the Steigerwald slightly above the confluence of the Ebrach (also called Geiselwinder Ebrach ) into the Ebrach realm .

Community structure

The municipality has 24 districts:

The municipalities also include the districts of Burggrub, Dürrnbuch, Ebersbrunn, Füttersee, Geiselwind, Gräfenneuses, Haag, Holzberndorf, Ilmenau, Langenberg, Rehweiler and Wasserberndorf.

Neighboring communities

Neighboring communities are (starting from the north clockwise) Ebrach , Schlüsselfeld , Burghaslach , Oberscheinfeld , Castell , Abtswind , Wiesentheid , Prichsenstadt and Oberschwarzach .

Protected areas

The place is in the middle of the Steigerwald Nature Park . Only a narrow strip along the federal highway 3 and the state road 2260 is not placed under special protection. In addition, large parts are protected as a landscape conservation area . Areas of geological interest have been declared geotopes. There is an extensive dune field northwest of the main town and the so-called dune field northeast of Gräfenneuses near Gräfenneuses .

In addition, several special objects have been preserved that are classified as natural monuments . Around Ebersbrunn there are four old trees that characterize the landscape, a red beech, an oak and two wooden pear trees. The imperial oak near Füttersee is one of the oldest solitary trees in Germany. An oak near Ilmenau characterizes the area around the village. The village of Neugrub in the east of the village is also classified as a natural monument.

history

Surname

The name Geiselwind suggests that it was founded in the 8th century. At that time, Wends were settled in the Franconian area by decree of the German Emperor . It is disputed whether this Wendensiedlung got its name from an imperial daughter Gisela, who lived in a nearby monastery, or from an imperial vassal named Giso.

Until the church is planted

Geiselwind appears late in the documented sources. In 1316 a certain Heinrich, called Frevel, feudal man of the Counts of Castell , left his goods in Geiselwind to the Ebrach Monastery , whereby Count Friedrich zu Castell renounced his feudal rights. By the end of the 14th century at the latest, the Zollner zu Hallburg and Rimbach owned "the village of Geiselwind" as a castellan fief. They sold it to the castle counts court master Wirich von Treuchtlingen . It was thanks to this change of ownership that Geiselwind received market rights and its own central court in 1422 from the Roman-German King Sigismund . In 1426 the Castell'sche fiefdom Geiselwind passed to the Fürstete Grafschaft Schwarzenberg. The princes of Schwarzenberg took over the church patronage from the Augustinian canons of Birklingen in 1503 and introduced the Reformation in Geiselwind . The place remained Protestant until 1627.

With the Rheinbund act 1806 the place came to Bavaria. In the course of the administrative reforms in the Kingdom of Bavaria , today's municipality was created with the municipal edict of 1818 .

Administrative affiliation

Until the district reform , which came into force on July 1, 1972, Geiselwind belonged to the Scheinfeld district and thus to Middle Franconia .

Desolations and incorporations

Füttersee district from the south

In the east of the village lies the Weingarten desert . The village was probably abandoned in the 16th century. The Untere Weingartsmühle was one of the remains of the village until the 18th century, before it was also given up. The former brickworks of the place, which disappeared in the 1950s, can also be classified as a desert .

On January 1, 1972, the previously independent communities of Füttersee, Gräfenneuses, Haag (until 1866 with the community name Dürrenbach ), Langenberg and Wasserberndorf and parts of the dissolved community of Freihaslach were incorporated. On July 1, 1972, Ebersbrunn and Rehweiler were added from the dissolved district of Gerolzhofen . Ilmenau followed on January 1, 1978. Holzberndorf was added on May 1, 1978.

Say

The Murrmann

Murrmann memorial

The best-known legend of Geiselwind is about Murrmann, the story of a siege of Geiselwind during the Thirty Years' War .

The mayor of Geiselwind wanted to prevent the seizure and looting of the place and went with two of his confidants to the camp of the enemy army to negotiate with the Swedish general. The latter was just about to start lunch and, perhaps because of this disturbance, was very angry, not thinking about negotiations. Angrily, he grabbed a sausage that he was about to eat, held it out to the negotiators and shouted: "As much as I eat this sausage here: I will take hostage wind!"

At that moment a black cat jumped on the general's shoulder, knocked the sausage out of his hand, grabbed it and ran away with the sausage in its mouth.

According to legend, Geiselwind was not taken during this siege. Depending on the version, this was due to the fact that the hostage-winders drew new courage with this sign and fended off the siege, that the Swedes saw the events as a bad omen and moved quickly on or that the Swedish general did not say anything untrue, but rather wanted to keep his word and therefore ended the siege.

There is still a sandstone figure at the western end of the market square that depicts Murrmann . The figure, with a cat sitting on its shoulder, is holding up a sausage with its outstretched arm.

The former size

Similar to Hellmitzheim near Iphofen, there is also a legend in Geiselwind about the former size of the settlement.

The population of Geiselwind spoke for a long time that the place should have been a lot bigger in the past. At that time, the community extended to today's Weingartsmühle and held city rights. The legend probably alludes to the former Weingarten settlement, which was originally located east of Geiselwind and was abandoned in the 15th century.

coat of arms

Coat of arms mosaic
Geiselwind coat of arms
 Blazon : “Divided by blue and silver; above a slanting golden flagellum, below on the green ground a jumping, red-tongued black greyhound with a gold collar. "
Justification for the coat of arms: The coat of arms appears for the first time on a market seal imprint from 1713. The coat of arms colors have been known since 1835. The scourge and the greyhound speak for the place name, the original meaning of which was no longer understood. It is translated as "to the Slavic settlers of Gisilo". The settlement dates back to the 8th to 10th centuries. The place is first mentioned in documents in 1199. The colors silver and blue are taken from the coat of arms of the princes of Schwarzenfeld, who ruled the community. At the beginning of the 19th century, the scourge was replaced by a bush and the green soil was missing. The coat of arms does not appear in the 19th and early 20th centuries and Hupp does not have it in his coat of arms collection either.

The coat of arms has been used since the 18th century.
