history

City of Grünsfeld

middle Ages

Grünsfeld was first mentioned in a document in 750. First it belonged to the lordship ofzimmer and then to the lords of Lauda . In 1213 the place fell to the Counts of Rieneck . Around 1320, the municipality was given city rights.

Modern times

From the end of the 15th to the middle of the 17th century, the city belonged to the Landgraviate of Leuchtenberg , then it came to the Duchy of Würzburg , which set up the Grünsfeld District Office in the city . In 1803 Grünsfeld came to the newly formed principality of Leiningen as part of the secularization , where it became the seat of an administrative district. With the dissolution of the principality in 1806 Grünsfeld became Baden . In 1911 the population suffered from a severe flood disaster.

Districts

The five districts were incorporated into Grünsfeld during the regional reform in Baden-Württemberg in the 1970s:

  • February 1, 1972: incorporation of Grünsfeldhausen
  • January 1, 1973: incorporation of Paimar and Zimmer
  • January 1, 1974: Incorporation of Krensheim
  • January 1, 1975: incorporation of Kützbrunn
Grünsfeldhausen

Grünsfeldhausen

Grünsfeldhausen was first mentioned in 1322 as Husen . A name change in Grunsvelthusen in 1378 indicates the current name . The place lies on both sides of the Grünbach north of Grünsfeld and essentially shared the history of the core city, as there are roughly the same rule and ownership relationships. The Achatius Chapel in Grünsfeldhausen is a well-known landmark from the 12th century.

Krensheim

Krensheim

Krensheim was first mentioned in a document in 1155. This happened in a document from the Bronnbach monastery . At first the place belonged to a local nobility, but then passed to the lords of Zimmer. The place is located as a clustered village with dense buildings and large courtyards on the Gäu plateau east of the Grünbach valley. Krensheim became known far beyond the borders of the region for its shell limestone, which was used for a long time in the construction of Cologne Cathedral.

Kützbrunn

Kützbrunn

Kützbrunn was mentioned in a document even earlier, namely in 1119, when it was donated to the diocese of Würzburg. After the Counts of Rieneck received the place as a fief in the middle of the 13th century, it was given to the Gerlachsheim monastery in the same century , in whose possession it remained until secularization. The place is a densely built-up street village in a spring basin on the hill south of the Wittigbach valley.

Paimar

Paimar

Paimar, which was first mentioned in a document in 1407, is relatively young. At that time it was called Bunber , later Beumar and Beymar . Little is known about the origins of the village. It always belonged to the district of Grünsfeld and shared its fate. The place is in the upper Grünbachtal. In 1911, the place experienced a severe flood, which caused great damage and claimed eleven lives.

Rooms

Rooms

The barons of Zimmer, who were first mentioned in a document in 1155 and ruled not only over their ancestral seat, but also over other places in the region, come from Zimmer. After the rule was united with the rule of Lauda at the end of the 12th century, it fell to the Counts of Rieneck in 1213. The area came to the Duchy of Würzburg via the Counts of Leuchtenberg (see above for details).
