history

12-18 century

Gollmuthhausen in Milzgrund was first mentioned in a document in 1192. In the document it was testified that the "school yard" in the community passes into the possession of the Herrenbreitungen monastery , later it belongs to the office of Behrungen . It can be assumed that a certain Gollmann, hence the place name, led the settlement farmers.

In 1423 Count Georg von Henneberg-Römhild received the place Gollmuthhausen as a fief of the Eichstätt monastery . Through two divisions of the Henneberg-Römhild line in 1468 and 1532, Gollmuthhausen came to Count Berthold XVI as part of the Römhild office . von Henneberg-Römhild , who sold his property to the Counts of Mansfeld in 1548 . This in turn sold the office of Römhild with Gollmuthhausen in 1555 to the Ernestine Wettins . In 1556, a church visit protocol said: “This village has been parish towards Behringen for ages .” Four years later Gollmuthhausen was merged with the parish of Rothausen . The former parish of Behrungen came to Henneberg-Schwarza in 1532 when the Römhild line was divided and, after it died out in 1549, to Henneberg-Schleusingen, which meant that it was in a different rule at the time of the parish change.

Due to inheritance divisions of the Ernestine duchies , Gollmuthhausen belonged to Saxe-Coburg-Eisenach from 1572 , from 1596 to Saxe-Coburg , from 1633 again to Saxe-Coburg-Eisenach, from 1640 to Saxe-Altenburg , from 1672 to Saxe-Gotha -Altenburg and from 1680 to Sachsen-Römhild . After the death of the Duke of Sachsen-Römhild, the office of Römhild was divided between Sachsen-Coburg-Saalfeld (1/3) and Sachsen-Meiningen (2/3) in 1710.

In 1608 a new church was built, but it burned to the ground in 1635 during the Thirty Years' War and was rebuilt in 1658. In 1635/36, 125 local residents died of the plague. In 1639 the village was burned and half destroyed.

19th and 20th centuries

In a state treaty, Gollmuthhausen and Rothausen were incorporated into the Grand Duchy of Würzburg in 1808 . With the dissolution of the Rhine Confederation in 1814 and the resolution of the Congress of Vienna , most of the Grand Duchy of Würzburg fell to the Kingdom of Bavaria . In 1819 a new church was built in Gollmuthhausen.

From 1817 the place belonged to the Lower Main District , which was renamed Lower Franconia and Aschaffenburg (later just Lower Franconia) in 1838 . Since 1918 this was in the Free State of Bavaria . The district office of Königshofen, to which Gollmuthhausen belonged, was renamed from 1939 to the district of Königshofen im Grabfeld .

As part of the regional reform on July 1, 1972, the previous districts of Königshofen im Grabfeld and Mellrichstadt were incorporated into the Bad Neustadt an der Saale district. On May 1, 1973 it was renamed the Rhön-Grabfeld district . On January 1, 1975 Gollmuthhausen was incorporated into Höchheim .

religion

In 1194 a "capella" was first mentioned in Gollmuthhausen, from which a bell bought in 1492 has survived to our days. It should therefore be one of the oldest church bells in a wide area. The new church from 1819 replaces the previous one from 1658. It is one of only three neoclassical churches in Lower Franconia. The Evangelical Luth. Church in the village belongs to the parish of Aubstadt.
