Gieshügel (also Gut Gieshügel ) is a wasteland in the district of Gerbrunn in the Lower Franconian district of Würzburg .
Geographical location
Gieshügel is located in the far east of the Gerbrunn municipality. The municipality of Rottendorf begins in the north, separated by federal highway 8 . The south is taken by the district of Theilheim . On the other hand , to the southwest is Randersacker , which is separated from the estate by the Wachtelberg and Gieshügler Höhe. Gerbrunn occupies the entire west. Here the natural monument Roßsteig and the old mountain form a natural barrier.
After the estate had repeatedly struggled with water shortages, a comprehensive drilling was carried out in the 19th century. It was discovered that below Gieshügel large deposits of slate marl with a rich gypsum content were to be found. This soil composition hardly allows the soil to absorb any water.
history
etymology
The meaning of the name Gieshügel is controversial. The oldest form of the name was Gieshübel, with the ending -hübel referring to an elevation, i.e. a hill . The prefix Gies comes from the Old and Middle High German word giezen and can be interpreted as pouring or pouring. The Gieshügel refers to the place that is watered by the forces of nature or man. The farm protrudes from the Franconian Gäuland and is therefore often flooded by large amounts of rain.
Further interpretations of the place name go so far as to interpret the courtyard as a kind of prison . Gieshügel referred to a penal tower that was used for the dishonorable penitentiary system. For this purpose, a wooden box was placed over a water basin and provided with a trap door. Adulteresses were punished with waterfall. A legend describes a large torture site in the Gieshügel area.
Until the exit of the Old Kingdom (until 1803)
Gieshügel was mentioned for the first time in 1108. At that time, the independent farmer Sigeloch gave two manes to the altar of St. Peter in "Giezzen" with the proviso that they would be used for life. Gieshügel, like nearby Gerbrunn, had probably come to the rising Counts of Castell . The sources are silent about the farm for a long time. It was not until 1376 that the "hoff zu dem Gizzubel" was mentioned in a Casteller fief book .
In 1475, Wilhelm Herr zu Limpurg and the Würzburg Cathedral Chapter agreed a contract with Mrs. Margarete Truchsessin zu Seinsheim, which regulated the shaft drive “on the pouring cuff”. In 1547 Hans von Seckendorff sold his share in the court to Michael Gundlach zu Randersacker, Hans Wynheim zu Maidbronn, Caspar Widmann and the Würzburg Cathedral Chapter. Caspar Widman can still be traced back to 1557 in a sales contract "zu Gißübel settled".
In 1560, the border disputes over the yard's markings began . On September 25, 1560, the Bergmeister von Randersacker advised the two owners, Hanns Wichmann and Caspar Widmann, that the use of pastures around the farm had to be reorganized and appealed to neighborly behavior. In several minutes from the years 1563 and 1564 further disputes can be grasped. In 1564, Canon Dietz von Thüngen heard the arguments. The dispute was not settled until 1579.
At the time of Prince-Bishop Julius Echter von Mespelbrunn , one half of the farm again changed hands and came to the bishop's brother, Dietrich. At that time, the farm was also called "Wolferstetten" or "Wolmerstetten". The farm was described in detail in a document from 1651. Its district extended in the direction of the Gerbrbunner community forest , but had some oak trees itself. The size of the courtyard repeatedly led to divisions, so at times four tenants owned the courtyard.
Before that, in 1646, the owners of the other half of the farm, the brothers Clauss and Kilian Merklein, got into financial difficulties. They were indebted to the Juliusspital , the cathedral chapter and the Reuer monastery in Würzburg. In 1649 Thomas Jakob Kuhn was given half of the courtyard. After 1651 his widow Erna Kuhn appeared in the documents as the owner. In 1670, the Augustinian monastery in Würzburg acquired half of the farm. They are mentioned again in 1727.
After 1727 the Augustinian monastery no longer appeared. In 1745 there were again disputes between the court owners and the cathedral chapter. Between 1745 and 1753 the University of Würzburg also took over the ownership of the court. The “sale of a quarter of the Gieshügel farm by Hofkammerdirektor Hess to the university” has been handed down. Sheep breeding on the farm became more and more important in the 18th century, and at the same time there was another dispute with the municipality of Randersacker.
Til today
After the dissolution of the Principality of Würzburg in the course of secularization , Gerbrunn and the Gieshügel became part of the Electorate , later the Kingdom of Bavaria . On March 20, 1871, Gerbrunn received a decree, according to which the connecting road between the two parts of the community was to be expanded. This led to a complaint from the municipality to the State Ministry of the Interior. However, the decree was probably implemented later.
Many families owned the farm in the 19th century. Christoph Leimig is recorded as the tenant until 1839, when his son Valentin Leimig owned Gieshügel for 18 years. The tenants Zöpperitz, Emil Rehm and G. von Oppel are also mentioned. During the two world wars had so-called " foreign workers " displaced persons mostly from Eastern Europe, labor service pay on the Gieshügel. A total of 31 workers can be identified between 1914 and 1917.
The first half of the 20th century was shaped by the Heil family on Gut Gieshügel. They were tenants until 1965. Subsequently, Süddeutsche Zucker AG took over the farm and rebuilt the product range. In the past several animal breeds were housed in the buildings, but cultivation has now been limited to wheat varieties . However, the owner of the farm is still the university, which at times maintained research institutes for bees and pigeons.
Attractions

It is a two-story saddle roof building with a basement from the 17th century. The fisherman's house also dates from the 18th century. A garden gate and two large courtyard gates form the entrance area to the manor . A figure of St. Sebastian from the 18th century can be found in a niche.
