Economy and Transport

Gollhofen is characterized by agriculture and in 2010 had around 1400 hectares of arable land. The loess loam soils of the undulating Uffgenheimer Gaus, to which Gollhofen belongs, are extremely fertile, can store water well and are easy to work with. That is why the cultivation of sugar beet plays a major role. The federal highway 13 runs through Gollhofen, while the federal highway 7 runs through the district of Gollhofen at a short distance . In Gollhofen there is a brick factory (Schöller company), a small concrete mixing plant and some craft businesses. At the Uffenheim-Gollhofen motorway junction about 2.5 km north of the village, a small industrial area with a truck stop has been developed in collaboration with the neighboring communities.

history

Gollhofen is one of the places mentioned in 741 when the diocese of Würzburg was founded, when the Carolingian king Karlmann donated the tithes of many royal courts such as Iphofen, Willanzheim and Ickelheim near Windsheim to the new diocese for its furnishings. In Gollhofen there was probably a royal court with a royal own church, which was consecrated to John the Baptist and was thus a center of the early medieval Gollachgau with an original parish. Towards the end of the High Middle Ages, rule over Gollhofen came to the Lords of Hohenlohe, from them by way of inheritance to the taverns of Limpurg , who built up a small county in Franconia from the former Hohenlohe castle of Speckfeld , to the summer and winter houses on the Main Lindelbach, Markt Einersheim, Hellmitzheim and Possenheim, the former Hohenlohe forest of great Limpurger and also the rich farming village of Gollhofen belonged. Shortly after 1700, the Limpurg taverns died out, their Franconian county of Speckfeld fell to the Count von Rechteren-Limpurg from the Netherlands, who owned Einersheim until after the Second World War.

Gollhofen was largely destroyed by American fire in 1945. In Gollhofen, around 1900, Wilhelm Sebastian Schmerl was the Protestant pastor, and from around 1920 also editor-in-chief of the Evangelical Sunday newspaper for Bavaria , who, as a successful local writer, also disseminated national Protestant ideas in his historical novels and stories. His books that were widely read in the past include Der Pfarrherr von Gollhofen , Melchior Bieling , Der Hetzer and Juliana .
