history

The place name means "forest of the counts". Presumably the Counts of Truhendingen are meant, who owned the neighboring Sendelbach as an imperial fief. The first mention was in 1352, when the gentlemen of Altenstein received two goods in "Grefenholtz". In 1443 Seyfridt von Stein owned a farm in "Greffenholtz". In 1532 the von Rotenhan had jurisdiction in "Grefenholtz". After the Thirty Years War , a family still lived in the village. Other families took a few years to settle here. In 1585 "Greuenholtz" was a Würzburg fief of the Rotenhan. In 1628 they owned three estates in the village. In 1742 the Rotenhan village lords were in "Grafenholtz".

In 1818 the community association Sendelbach was established, consisting of the village Sendelbach and the hamlet of Graefenholz. In 1862 Sendelbach was incorporated into the newly created Bavarian District Office Ebern , where it belonged to the Baunach Regional Court. In 1871 Graefenholz had 67 inhabitants. The evangelical denominational school and parish was in Rentweinsdorf, 2.8 kilometers away. In 1900 the 397.02 hectare rural community of Sendelbach had 37 residential buildings and 176 inhabitants, of whom 3 were Catholics and 173 were Protestant. The Protestant Gräfenholz had 69 residents and 14 residential buildings. In 1925, 71 people lived in 14 residential buildings in Graefenholz. In 1950 the place had 101 residents and 15 residential buildings. He belonged to the district of the Catholic parish Ebern . A road bridge over the Baunach was built in the 1950s. In 1970 there were 61 and in 1987 50 inhabitants and 13 residential buildings with 13 apartments.

On July 1, 1972, the district of Ebern was dissolved and the municipality of Sendelbach became part of the Haßberg district. On January 1, 1978, the municipality of Sendelbach was incorporated into Rentweinsdorf and Gräfenholz became a district.

Former buildings

The "old" Graefenholz mill stood in Graefenholz until 2015.

For many, the mill was not only a point of contact for processing the harvested grain into flour, but also served as a power station for Graefenholz and Sendelbach in the early 1920s.

The mill operation was stopped in the early 1960s. One reason for this was that no further mills were allowed to be built in Germany after 1955, or only in exceptional cases and existing plants could not be expanded. That is why the Mill Shutdown Act was passed in 1957.

The Elflein family's transport company, which has existed since around 1930, was based in the mill until 1990.
