history

Beginnings

In the area of ​​today's Großenbrach, the remains of a fortress as well as finds of stone images and coins indicate settlement during the Roman era. There is also said to have been a Jewish or pagan cemetery here around AD 800. The pagans who are said to have been buried in this cemetery may have lived in a desolate village near the nearby Kleinbrach . In the early days, Großenbrach and the neighboring Kleinbrach were a contiguous municipality belonging to the Aschach district.

middle Ages

It is not entirely certain which of these two places a documentary mention of June 24, 1321 refers to, when the citizens of Munich, Agnes and Katharina Eckerich, gave the Teutonic Order Brothers , among other things, an annual validity of a huebe ze Brachawe . This validity was probably sold again or replaced by 1360 at the latest, as it is no longer mentioned in later documents; This year the Großenbrach estate consisted of a field and a meadow.

On January 20, 1469, the Hausen monastery acquired this field in exchange for the no longer existing Gressertshof located south of Münnerstadt in what is today the Gressertshof state forest .

Großenbrach at the beginning of modern times

During the Thirty Years' War , on June 23, 1640, the Swedish troops attacked the town, shooting at two Grossenbrach residents. In 1641 the Swedish general Reinhold von Rosen stopped here. Some houses fell victim to the acts of war due to fire; There were further fires in Großenbrach around the turn of the year 1642/43.

Bavarian Kingdom

After the first plans from 1783 to move the Aschach cantor to Großenbrach and to set up a schoolhouse with a teacher's apartment here fizzled out, in 1852 Großenbrach finally got its own school and a school administrator as a teacher. The first Großenbracher school administrator was J. Schneider from Hausen on May 14, 1852 . According to a corresponding note by the community in the school files of July 3, 1852, the teachers' apartment, which was in poor condition, was repaired. On March 27, 1862 it was decided to settle the amount of 43 guilders and 14.25 Batzen , which was still missing to spend the teacher's salary of 250 guilders, from the community treasury until the legacy donated by Johann Hochrein and his wife was in the amount of 1,000 guilders was available. Until the beginning of the 20th century, however, Großenbrach was dependent on government grants for school purposes.

On September 4, 1881, the Großenbrach municipal council decided to repair the run-down local road with limestone and to make more building material available for the maintenance of the road in the future.

In August 1884, the safety railing of the local pond was restored to minimize the risk of accidents.

In 1886, teacher Ambros Schmitt aroused the resentment of the Großenbrach citizens, who accused him of treating his students unequally and of interfering too much in the family affairs of the residents and of chatting them up. After a hearing by Ambros Schmitt on November 29, 1886, the government of Lower Franconia declared the allegations untenable on December 29, 1886.

In 1908, a grotto of Our Lady was inaugurated on Wendelinusstrasse at the end of the village in the direction of Bad Bocklet. Two years later, the place of the cross was built behind the grotto , to which a war memorial for the Großenbrach victims of the First World War was added in 1925 . The memorial was later expanded to accommodate the victims of World War II .

From July 1910, Michael Hahn, a Wagner from Großenbrach, was investigated for quarreling. The matter ended with Michael Hahn receiving a confiscated box of homeopathic medicines back on January 19, 1912, by order of the Kissingen district office.

Weimar Republic

By resolution of the Royal Government of Lower Franconia and Aschaffenburg on March 14, 1921, a handicraft teacher was hired specifically for the Großenbrach School. On June 5, 1921, the government of Main Franconia was forced to discontinue the Grossenbrach teaching position because of insufficient student numbers; from now on the students were to be taught in Aschach and a school association-Aschach-Großenbrach was to be formed.

On October 18, 1925, the Way of the Cross was inaugurated on Wendelinusstrasse behind the St. Mary's Grotto, which was built in 1908 .

Mayor Kilian Mahlmeister almost resigned in May 1929 because of unjustified allegations. For example, he is said to have threatened the council members with a fine of RM 200 . In truth, this fine was threatened by the district council members in the event that their statutory obligations were not fulfilled. The district office worked successfully on the Großenbrach municipal council to give in to the dispute and to prevent Kilian Mahlmeister from resigning.

In 1934, Großenbrach's connection road to Bad Bocklet was built; their function had previously been fulfilled by a dirt road.

Großenbrach after 1945

After the Second World War , a military cemetery for those who died in the Second World War was built at the exit of Großenbrach in the direction of Bad Bocklet, next to a grotto of Our Lady built on June 28, 1908. Eleven crosses in the cemetery remind of fallen soldiers from Großenbrach.

From February 5, 1946, due to the large number of pupils, a separate elementary school in Großenbrach was able to start operating again. From 1951 the eighth grade had to attend the Aschach elementary school temporarily due to lack of space. On December 11, 1953, it was decided to build a new school building. The foundation stone was laid on July 15, and the topping-out ceremony on August 28, 1954.

The Grossenbrach cemetery was laid out in 1952. Before that, the people who died in Großenbrach had been buried in the Aschach cemetery. But in 1951 the mayor of Aschach Katzenberger decided to beautify and restructure the cemetery. The graves of some deceased were leveled, whose surviving dependents could not financially afford a reburial; only the tombstones were moved to other locations. This approach caused annoyance in Großenbrach, so that the mayor of Großenbrach decided to set up a separate cemetery for Großenbrach on the road to Bad Bocklet.

With the decision of the government of Lower Franconia on May 11, 1966, the elementary schools in Bad Bocklet, Aschach, Großenbrach and Hohn were abolished with effect from August 1, 1966 and replaced by an association school in the places concerned; Bad Bocklet became the seat of the association school. The association school was again replaced in 1969 by the Bad Bocklet - Aschach - Großenbrach - Hohn - Steinach ad Saale elementary school.

In 1972, work began on the land consolidation ordered on June 21, 1971 for Großenbrach . The valuation was carried out in March and April of 1974; construction began in the summer of 1975 and was completed in the summer of 1982. The land consolidation procedure took place without any problems; there was only one objection from a citizen of Großenbrach, which was soon resolved. 5.44 kilometers of blacktop paths, 4.37 kilometers of gravel paths and 0.7 kilometers of hiking trails were created; furthermore about 2000 trees and 3000 bushes were planted. The total costs of about 1.64 million DM were covered by grants amounting to 1.31 million DM and a contribution of 0.33 million DM.

As part of the municipal reform , Großenbrach became a district of Bad Bocklet on January 1, 1972. The original plan to incorporate it into Bad Kissingen had previously failed.

On January 7, 1953, the Chapel Foundation was brought into being; two citizens from Großenbrach donated assets to build the chapel. The chapel was finally built in Würzburg in 1966 next to the Großenbrach cemetery, with detailed reports from the "Fränkisches Volksblatt" (Fränkisches Volksblatt), and in June 1968 it was designated by Auxiliary Bishop Alfons Kempf .

Club life

On November 14, 1877, the Großenbrach volunteer fire brigade was founded and began with 29 members in its founding year. In 1907, a celebration was held in an Aschach inn to mark the 30th anniversary of its founding. Two years later the volunteer fire brigade had 57 members. After the annual general meetings were canceled due to the Second World War in 1942 and 1943, the minutes book only records a general meeting for December 22, 1945. In December 1960, the volunteer fire brigade received an engine extinguisher; In the fire protection week of 1964 the inauguration of the extinguishing water pond followed . During the celebrations from July 14th to 17th, 1972 for the 95th anniversary of the voluntary fire brigade, the newly built fire station was put into operation. Planning for the project began in 1970; After the topping-out ceremony in December 1970, construction work was finished in August 1971. The 100th anniversary celebration took place from June 25th to June 1977; As part of the anniversary, two festival committee meetings as well as two cap evenings, a prize sheep, a children's carnival, a maypole erection with get-togethers and a brewery tour for the helpers of the fire brigade festival took place. The Mayor of Bad Bockleter, Alois Gundalach, emphasized the cultural and social importance of the volunteer fire brigade, which at that time had 84 members. The festive and honorary evening on June 17, 1982 on the occasion of the 105th anniversary of the founding recorded a large number of visitors; further celebrations were held from July 17-19, 1982. In 1984 a successful application was made for a portable pump vehicle . On March 12, 1993, the Minutes Book had 102 members.

On October 1st, 1961 the founding of the carrier pigeon lover association 'Saaletaal' Großenbrach took place in Großenbracher "Gasthaus zur Post" , to which several pigeon fanciers from Aschach and Großenbrach soon belonged. The plan made in February 1982 to hold the award ceremony of the RV exhibition that year failed due to the long journeys for the individual RV members. During the general meeting on October 25, 1986, three members were honored for their 25-year membership in the association. On the same day, the association decided to sponsor the Quästenbergsegler pigeon fanciers' association, which was newly founded in what is now the Münnerstadt district of Windheim .
