Until the church is planted

The place was first mentioned in 1243 in a contract between the Würzburg bishop Hermann I von Lobdeburg and Countess Adelheid von Rieneck . It is assumed, however, that Gemünden was elevated to a town by the Counts of Rieneck before 1243. Local tradition assumes a fishing settlement that was the origin of the later city. Gemünden was the seat of the Gemünden office . From 1469, Gemünden finally belonged to the Würzburg monastery . From 1500 the Würzburger Hochstift was part of the Franconian Empire . Prince-Bishop Rudolf II von Scherenberg built it as a bastion against the neighboring territories of Kurmainz and Hochstift Fulda . As a result of the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss 1803, the prince-bishopric of Würzburg was annexed by Bavaria . Gemünden became a Bavarian district town.

The local Schönau monastery was founded in 1189 by Philipp von Thüngen. A Minorite monastery since 1699, the monks mainly look after the monastery and pilgrimage church.

In the course of the administrative reforms in Bavaria, today's municipality was created with the municipal edict of 1818 .

Since the year 1326 the Society for Leprology a medieval was in Gemünden for data Leprosorium detectable whose position as leprosorum iuxta Teal dictam Raemse described.

19th and 20th centuries

The railway connection took place in 1854 with the Ludwigs-West-Bahn , today the Main-Spessart-Bahn . Gemünden became a railway junction; Gemünden - Elm was opened in 1872, Gemünden - Schweinfurt in 1879 and the Saale Valley Railway Gemünden - Hammelburg in 1884 .

During the Nazi era , the synagogue of the Jewish community in Plattnersgasse was destroyed by SA men during the November pogrom in 1938 . During the Second World War , numerous Soviet prisoners of war had to do forced labor in facilities essential to the war effort.

An Allied air raid on March 16, 1945 by American fighter-bombers and artillery fire on April 4 and 5, 1945 destroyed two thirds of the city. The extensive destruction affected the entire western and central old town area, which had a closed development from the 16th and 17th centuries (market square with town hall, fish market, Badgasse, Kärrnersgasse and Wirthsgasse). The parish church of St. Peter and Paul, the Hexenturm, the Mühltor, the historic town hall (completely demolished after the occupation in April), the Adelmann House and the Wurzgarten House were destroyed. The reconstruction after planning in 1946–1950 in the old town area was carried out with simple plastered buildings. The street layouts were changed significantly, the town hall on the market square was not rebuilt. In the 1980s, the old town was extensively renovated.

On July 1, 1972, the district of Gemünden am Main was dissolved. With the incorporation of 14 new districts between 1971 and 1978, the area of ​​the city increased sevenfold. A bridge over the Main for a road connection with the left Main district of the municipality was opened in 1974.

Incorporations

In the course of the regional reform in Bavaria on January 1, 1971, the communities Adelsberg, Hofstetten and Massenbuch were incorporated. On July 1, 1971, Schaippach and Seifriedsburg followed, and on January 1, 1972, Harrbach was added. Aschenroth was incorporated on July 1, 1972. In addition, Wernfeld was incorporated on January 1, 1976 and Langenprozelten on January 1, 1978.

coat of arms

Coat of arms of Gemünden am Main
 Blazon : "In blue over a red covered, silver battlement wall with side towers, open gate and golden gate wings, a silver tower with two oriel turrets, all with red pointed roofs."
Foundation of the coat of arms: The city of Gemünden [...] was founded in 1243 by Count Ludwig II of Rieneck (1216 to 1243) and was owned by the Counts of Rieneck together with the Scherenburg, which is still in ruins today. Although the place already had an urban character at the beginning of the 14th century, the earliest known seal of the minuscule inscription dates from the first half of the 15th century. The picture has not changed much since then. The colors have been used since 1544. The battlements and the gate represent the urban character of Gemünden.

Gemünden am Main is a meeting point for cyclists and hikers, as there are several supraregional cycle paths in this "city of three rivers" ( Main cycle path , Main-Tauber-Fränkischer Rad-Achter , Rhön-Sinntal cycle path , the Wern cycle path a few kilometers south in Wernfeld) and long-distance hiking trails ( Maintalhöhenringweg , Birkenhainer Straße ) converge. The center of the old town, which was rebuilt in a simplified manner after the severe war damage, is the market square with a number of cafés and restaurants, the new town hall, the renewed market fountain and the rebuilt parish church of St. Peter and Paul; There are still a few half-timbered houses in Obertorstrasse.

Buildings

(Selection)

Castles and city fortifications

Keep of the Scherenburg ruin
Scherenburg

The ruins of the Scherenburg , also known as Scherenberg Castle, jut out on a rock above the town center of Gemünden.It belonged to the Counts of Rieneck at the latest since 1243 - but probably earlier - , but took the name of the Prince-Bishop in 1469 when it finally passed to Würzburg. The castle served as an official cellar until 1598. Since the end of the 18th century it was no longer used and fell into disrepair. The castle gate in the southeast, part of the shield wall (once connected to the city wall to form a continuous curtain wall), the round keep (bat quarters and therefore no longer climbable), a gable wall of the basement hall and in front of it a small kennel (viewing terrace above the Main and Saale valley as well as in the Spessart). Since the 1990s, the Scherenburg Festival (open-air theater) has taken place in the inner courtyard of the castle ruins in the summer .

Slorburg ground monument
Slorburg

Difficult to access on a steep path in the forest above the Scherenburg are the heavily moss-covered foundation walls of the older Slorburg ( soil monument ). It dates from the time of Hermann I von Lobdeburg and was demolished in 1243 when Würzburg and Rieneck came to an agreement and divided their rule.

Hexenturm and parts of the city wall that have been built over
City fortifications

From the city fortifications, one of two city gates (the Mühltor), two defense towers (Owl Tower and Hexenturm) and some remains of the wall overbuilt by residential buildings have been preserved or rebuilt. The upper gate no longer exists. At the Hexenturm, the so-called “Amtsschreiber-Pförtchen”, built over with half-timbering, forms an entrance through the city wall into the old town.

Sacred buildings

Parish Church of St. Peter and Paul
City parish church of St. Peter and Paul

It was built in 1488 on the walls of the even older St. Peter's Church in Gothic style. It was destroyed to the ground in 1945; all that remained was the basement of the tower. Today's nave with clock and city coat of arms as well as the tower with eight-sided pointed helmet and four corner turrets is a reconstruction completed in 1948. This reconstruction after the Second World War was kept deliberately simple. Inside there are two sculptures of Saints Peter and Paul and a monumental epitaph from 1601 with reference to Simon Hill . In 1956/57 the tower was reconstructed with an addition.

Evangelical Christ Church

It was built in 1909/1910 and is located in the immediate vicinity of the train station. The asymmetrical Art Nouveau building has a small front tower on the northwest side, which stands in the counterpart of the recessed, significantly higher and massive bell tower. The building underwent several conversions and renovations inside and out between 1960 and 2008.

Trinity Church

In the east of the city, the Catholic Trinity Church was built in 1954 by the Würzburg cathedral builder Hans Skull in the shape of a trapezoid with a ceiling falling towards the chancel. The modern altar painting (cross with body) and the ceiling painting, which depicts the divine trinity in stylized form, were created by Georg Meistermann .

Convent of the Sisters of Charity of the Holy Cross

The “Monastery of the Sisters of Mercy of the Holy Cross” can be seen from afar. The provincial sisters of this order, expelled from Bohemia, built their new Bavarian Provincial House, an imposing monastery, here in 1947 with architect Hans Beckers . In addition to a day-care center, it houses socio-educational facilities. The former girls 'education center, a girls' school known far beyond the boundaries of the Main-Spessart district , is being continued as the Theodosius-Florentini-School, which has also been opened for boys.

Schoenau Monastery

Three kilometers north of the city of Gemünden in the valley of the Franconian Saale lies the Franciscan monastery of Schönau . It was originally founded as a Cistercian monastery.

Secular buildings

Hat lock

The only castle in the city is the 300-year-old Huttenschloss on the right (Kleingemündener) side of the hall. According to local historical tradition, this is possibly the part of Gemünden that remained in the possession of the Counts of Rieneck in the partition contract of 1243. In 1711 (dating above the main entrance), Rieneck's bailiff, Christian Stern, built the three-storey building with corner towers and a garden as a rent office; his heirs sold it to Ludwig von Hutten zu Stolzenberg ; In 1726 it became the property of Würzburg under Prince-Bishop Christoph Franz von Hutten . The coat of arms of Prince-Bishop Georg Karl von Fechenbach is placed in the archway . The castle experienced various uses (rent office, warehouse for the Reich Labor Service and Lower Franconian Transport Museum). Today the film-photo-sound museum and the exhibition rooms of the Spessart nature park are housed in this building.

Others

The town hall, which was built between 1585 and 1596 in the Renaissance style on what was then the fish market, was completely destroyed in the Second World War and was not rebuilt. The floor plan was drawn on the market square. A monument at the former location reminds of the historic building.

The new town hall building (elsewhere on the market) is also a gable building with a turret, but the lost architectural form elements such as volute gables, pinnacles, half-columns and portal were not reconstructed. Rather, the facade with large rectangular windows is simple and unadorned.

In the 1980s, a comprehensive old town renovation was carried out; A few half-timbered buildings from the 17th and 18th centuries - for example Obertorstrasse 2, 8 and 16, Mühltorstrasse 4 and 10, Marktplatz 8, Plattnersgasse 8 - could be restored.

The Adelmann House (four-story half-timbered building with stone ground floor, built from 1597 as a high-priestly Würzburg administrative house, located on the driveway to the Saale Bridge on the Fischmarkt) and the Wurzgarten house on the market square (former neck court, built from 1568 with a stone ground floor and two half-timbered upper floors) were not rebuilt ).

Regular events

Family hill

The great mound epitaph , 1601
as we are we warn on earth - as we are we will also be

The Hügel family , who come from Gemünden and have been documented there since the end of the 16th century , produced master stonemasons , sculptors and builders of supraregional importance up until the 19th century . However, the focus of her artistic work was not her hometown, but well-known stonemason centers in the Vienna area.

The marriage of Jodocus Hügel is recorded in the Gemündener parish registers in 1598; the monumental epitaph from 1601 in the parish church of St. Peter and Paul tells of Simon Hügel. It was a supposedly wealthy family, because such an elaborate grave slab in the church, which was seen by everyone, indicates a generous donor. Johann Franz Hügel married Margareta Feserin in 1659; three of her sons - Johann Gallus , Johann Jacob and Elias - learned the stonemason trade.

Only the branch of Johann Jacob (* 1677) remained in Gemünden am Main. Johann Gallus became master of the Eggenburg stonemasonry in Eggenburg , Lower Austria , Elias learned the craft in the imperial quarry on Leithaberg , then Hungary, today in Burgenland , became an important court stonemason master. Because after the final victory over the Turks in Vienna (1683) an unprecedented building activity broke out there and Vienna became a city of the baroque architecture that still characterizes it today in large parts, which in the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation had a strong pull on building professionals - including the stonemasons of the Hügel family.

Letter from Heinz Ludwig Hügel from 1849

In 1998, Wolfgang Stein from the Gemünden Historical Association presented Helmuth Furch, chairman of the Kaisersteinbruch Museum and Culture Association , with a copy of a document, a letter from Mr. Heinz Ludwig Hügel, written in 1849.

The wording (in extracts ): Würzburg, July 1st, 1849

Reverend Mister Pastor!

You sent me a parish letter dated 27th BC. M. honored, with whom you reported to me that during the current restoration of the church in Gemünden there was a moment from my family dating from the year 1600, about which you have proven the origin through the family tree ..

This news about this family memorial from the distant past surprised me with joy. As a branch of this ancient tribe, I feel obliged to have this monument restored at my own expense and I am adding the maximum of the stated cost amount with 12 guilders to the work .
If it harmonizes with the rest of the painting of the church, it is to be clad in light stone color ...
As soon as I can, I will examine for myself the opportunity on which I will become interested in necessary needs of the Church.
Your well-born Reverend most devoted servant Heinz Ludwig Huegel

Infrastructure

economy

Gemünden lacks industrial companies with a large number of jobs, so that many employees commute to the neighboring cities of Lohr and Würzburg. Predominantly smaller industrial companies and a number of retail markets as well as two nursing homes provide jobs.

The city is designated as a medium-sized center by the Bavarian state government.

There were 266 companies with 2,884 jobs subject to social security contributions in the city in 2017. Of the resident population, 4018 people work that is subject to insurance, so that the number of out-commuters is 1134 more than that of in-commuters.

In the Steinäcker-Weizenäcker industrial park in the Langenprozelten district, an increasing number of medium-sized companies (Heizöl Gumpp, Getränke Volpert, Euronics xxl tvg etc.) and retail stores (including Möbel Berta, Hagebaumarkt, Tegut etc.) have settled. Here you can get almost all the articles you need for daily life. You could almost call it a small “shopping town”.

There are four commercial and industrial areas in the city. These are in detail in the Steinäcker-Weizenäcker area in the Langenprozelten district, at the black bridge in Wernfeld and in the core city the areas Hofweg, and Keßlerbrücke with the companies on the former site of the company Mörtl -jetzt Ziegler and the company Hamm and along the Wernfelder Str. where chain stores are located.

traffic

Gemünden was the starting point of the Main-Fulda Canal project , which was planned and abandoned before the First World War .

Main valley bridge of the high-speed line

The city is an important rail hub . The north-south line from Fulda to Würzburg merges with the west-east line from Aschaffenburg at Gemünden (Main) station . To the west of the city, the Hanover – Würzburg high-speed line crosses the Main with the Gemünden Main Valley Bridge . In addition, the Gemünden – Ebenhausen railway branches off to the spa town of Bad Kissingen ; the Erfurt Railway connects Gemünden with Schweinfurt via this route . In addition, regional trains of the DB AG connect Gemünden with the cities of Würzburg and Aschaffenburg . Gemünden is also an important hub for freight and goods traffic .

Gemünden is on federal highway 26 .

There are mooring options for shipping at the port of Gemünden am Main .

Social and Education

The SOS Village Community of Hohenroth, which belongs to SOS Children's Villages Germany, has settled on the former “Hohenroth” estate since 1978 .
