Gramschatz is a district of the Rimpar market with around 560 inhabitants. The place is in the north of the Gramschatzer forest named after him .

geography

Gramschatz is located around 20 kilometers north of Würzburg on the limestone plates of the Main Triangle. The highest point of the place is at 348 m above sea level. Since the territorial reform in 1973 it has belonged to the district of Würzburg (previously the district of Karlstadt) and since the municipal reform in 1978 to the Rimpar market. Today the place is only about one and a half kilometers from the border with the Main-Spessart district. Besides the church, Gramschatz is known for its stone Way of the Cross, which begins on the outskirts and represents the Via Dolorosa along a corridor .

The neighboring villages are Hausen bei Würzburg (4 km), Binsbach (4 km), Erbshausen-Sulzwiesen (5 km), Arnstein (6 km), Retzstadt (8 km), Güntersleben (8 km) and Rimpar (9 km).

history

The historical records of Gramschatz are sketchy. Almost nothing is known until the beginning of the 16th century and not much is found later either. One reason for this may be the remote location of the place, surrounded by a forest. A local chronicle has only existed since 1871 with meanwhile five documents (1871, 1927, 1946, 1959, 1985)

The area of ​​Gramschatz was probably inhabited as early as the time of the Celts . The real founders of the place were the Hermunduren , who were displaced by the goods during the Great Migration . After 496 the area was Franconian territory.

The place was first mentioned on January 20, 772 as "Cramphesnesta" (meaning: crooked lane or crooked path) in a deed of donation from the monk Alwalah to his monastery in Fulda .

The name developed from Gramphisneit (1248), Cramseneite (1264), Krameneit, Cramsneyt (1330–1466), Kramschneit (1350), Cramschnitt (1559) to Gramschatz (1661, 1697).

In 1400 a battle took place on Cyriakustag (August 8th) in Bergtheim , during which Gramschatz was harassed by the riders of the prince-bishop. In 1524/25 the Gramschatz farmers took part in the Peasants ' War and allied themselves with the Arnstein comrades-in-arms. A major flood is reported from 1595, triggered by prolonged rain.

The greatest misfortune in its history struck Gramschatz in the 17th century. In 1611 the plague broke out and killed 112 people. In the next few decades (1618–1648) the Thirty Years War raged in Gramschatz. At the end of the war, the village was so destroyed that it was almost wiped out. Only eight residents survived this war in 1648.

Gramschatz became its own parish in 1697. Before that it was a branch of Retzstadt . In the old church there was a Riemenschneider altar of grace from 1510, which was sold to the Welfenmuseum in Hanover in 1863.

In 1731 the construction of today's parish church began. The baroque / rococo church is considered the most beautiful church between Würzburg and Kreuzberg . It contains works by the court sculptors Johann Wolfgang von der Auvera and Peter Wagner and paintings by the tiepologist assistant Andreas Urlaub .

The construction of Würzburger Strasse in 1836/37 is worth mentioning and significant for the further development of the place.

Scarlet fever broke out in 1865 and 1870 , for which there were hardly any cures at the time. In 1870 12 children died from this disease.

During the same period, the planning and implementation of a connection road to Binsbach was busy . The first aqueduct was built in 1910. Electricity has been available in Gramschatz since 1925. Land consolidation was carried out in 1954/57 .

In 1959 there were 35 tractors, 10 passenger cars, 9 motor scooters, 24 mopeds, 26 grain self-binders, 5 cultivated sowing-chopping and cultivating machines, 4 motor-sowing chopping and cultivating machines, 4 manure loaders, 2 harvesters for sugar beet and a one-man threshing machine . On May 1, 1978, the approximately 888 hectare community of Gramschatz, which only had the village of Gramschatz, was incorporated into the Rimpar market and at the same time also the community of Maidbronn .

population

In 1955, Gramschatz had 470 inhabitants. In 1960 there were also 470 people living in Gramschatz. In 1970 there were 547.

traffic

Gramschatz is located near the federal motorway 7 with the Gramschatzer Wald junction about 4 kilometers away. State road 2294 runs through the village, leading to Würzburg in the south and Arnstein in the north.

Gramschatz is connected to local public transport via bus lines 8114 (Würzburg-Arnstein) and 45 (Würzburg-Rimpar-Gramschatz). The next train station is in Bergtheim .
