Gräfenneuses is a district of the Geiselwind market in the Lower Franconian district of Kitzingen .
Geographical location
Gräfenneuses is located in the west of the Geiselwinder municipality. The north is occupied by the so-called Ilmbacher Forest, in the northeast is Ebersbrunn , in the east the area of the Bamberg district begins . Röhrensee and Geiselwind begin in the southeast. The area of the city of Prichsenstadt extends to the southwest and west .
The village of Crautzach was located in the district of Gräfenneuses . Likewise, the Hertrichshausen desert is localized in the literature in the settlement triangle Wiesentheid, Obersambach and Gräfenneuses. The settlement was probably abandoned in the 14th century. With the dune field northeast of Gräfenneuses , a protected geotope has been preserved in the vicinity of the village.
The closest larger cities are Kitzingen , which is around 20 kilometers away, and Schweinfurt , which is around 31 kilometers away.
history
The place name refers to the Frankish colonization phase in the 9th century. The settlement was probably the seat of a count who was supposed to secure the Frankish advance into the Celtic tribal areas. Gräfenneuses was important to overcome the Steigerwald step. The ending -neuses is derived from the Old High German words niuwi for new and seʒ for seat. Accordingly, the place was a new seat of a count.
Gräfenneuses was first mentioned in 1317. The village was a Würzburg fiefdom in the hands of Friedrich II of Castell and was called "Greuen nusezze". The rule of the village by the counts is an indication of the settlement's past. Presumably the Mattonen sat there during the Franconian settlement as noble free, who are among the cognatic ancestors of the Counts of Castell.
A short time later, in 1326, the village changed hands. The Würzburg bishop Wolfram Wolfskeel von Grumbach granted the Benedictine abbey of Münsterschwarzach a letter of protection for the monastery villages. Among other things, “Greven-Neusess” appeared in this letter. However, the place was mentioned again in the Casteller fief book in 1376 . Among other things, the counts had lent goods to the Lords von Vestenberg and Götz von Wipfeld .
In 1441, the noble Hans von Thüngfeld sold some goods in Gräfenneuses in addition to Ilmbach Castle . Balthasar Fere von Berg probably received the village and was able to equip his monastery in Ilmbach with it. In 1453 the Carthusians received the village. A year later the gentlemen von Vestenberg were again wealthy there. They sold their goods on from 1472 until the place went to the Lords of Gnodstadt. In 1504 the village was heavily divided into lords.
The farmsteads in Gräfenneuses again came into the possession of the Counts of Castel in 1533. In 1573 the place was given a village regulation by the Counts of Castell and the Ilmbach Charterhouse . The changing village lords led to a denominational division of the residents, which was also reflected in the chapels in Gräfenneuses. In 1589 the Carthusians and Count Georg II zu Castell shared the rulership of the village. Grafe Neuses was the centering Stadel Schwarzach assigned.
With the 17th century came a concentration of power. In 1662, Count Philipp Gottfried zu Castell-Rüdenhausen was granted high jurisdiction over the village of "Grauen Neüseß" from the Würzburg monastery . Now the place was an integral part of the Grafschaft Castell. Around 1790 the village was assigned to the Rüdenhausen office in the county.
In 1972 the place came to the large community Geiselwind.
Culture and sights
Architectural monuments
The Catholic chapel is dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary. It was built in the neo-Romanesque style between 1886 and 1888 in the middle of the village. The stone cuboids are structured on the outside, while the simple design predominates on the inside. The figures of Saints Heinrich and Kunigunde are attached to the altar. A way of the cross in the late Gothic style with 14 stations runs through the church. In the cemetery there is a small Protestant cemetery chapel , which was built around 1850. The village's former inn from the 18th century has been preserved. The old portal of the Ilmbach Charterhouse was saved after the secularization by a Gräfenneuseser farmer and now adorns his courtyard.
Say
The cross stones
There used to be two cross stones on the so-called old road between Untersambach and Gräfenneuses . Another two stones with crosses came to light nearby as the field was turned. The reason for the installation was forgotten by the population. At the stone cross on the so-called Fuchswiese, immediately north of the so-called Fuchsberg, the children were afraid, because the legend got around that it was supposed to be haunted here .
Once a hunting tenant from Graefenneuses was waiting for the hunters who hunted the game in the surrounding forests. As he lingered next to the stone cross, a "thing" suddenly appeared rolled towards him. When it reached the tenant, the "thing" laughed out loud three times. Then it disappeared again. The hunting tenant fled home quickly and never again stood near the cross stones.
The Fressaklingenpöpel
As in Röhrensee, there is also a legend in Gräfenneuses about the Fressaklingenpöpel. Between Gräfenneuses, Röhrensee, Geiselwind, Füttersee, Kleinbirkach and Ebersbrunn there is a mountain forest called Fressaklinge. Remnants of the Celts' fortifications can be found here. Here the so-called Fressaklingenpöpel is supposed to be up to mischief. He should scream like a calf in the night . The residents of Gräfenneuses heard his screams especially on Sunday nights and on public holidays. He could also be heard in Röhrensee.
The Weihkellerrangen
The Weihkellerrangen forest section is located on the old road between Gräfenneuses and Rehweiler and is now cut through by the motorway. In Gräfenneuses it is said of this forest that a trumpeter was up to mischief here at certain times . No one had ever seen him, but in Gräfenneuses you could hear the sound of his instrument over and over again. At the Weihkellerrangen there is also said to be a hollow room that a bricklayer came across one day.
