Surname

etymology

The place name "Hammelburg" has nothing to do with a "mutton" (domestic sheep). The Latin first documented name of the place in 716 as hamulo castellum , however, indicates a possible origin of the city in late Roman times (4th / 5th centuries). In the first book on the history of the city of Hammelburg, published by Philipp Josef Döll in 1873, he argued that a man named Hamulo founded the hamulo castellum . The theory that the Old High German word hamala (steep) or the Germanic word ham ( river curvature ) could have determined the place name is also used to explain the origin of the name “Hammelburg” .

history

Early history of the city in the 8th century

Hammelburg was first mentioned in a document in 716 at the end of the Merovingian era . The place, which was then called hamulo castellum , belonged to the fiefdom of the Thuringian Duke Heden II. The Heden had been vassals of the Merovingian kings in eastern Franconia since the middle of the 7th century and had the task of fending off enemy attacks on the eastern border of the empire. Heden I ruled from 643 to 687; his son Gosbert resided in Würzburg from 687 to 704. During this time, the murder of the Iro-Scottish wandering monks Kilian , Kolonat and Totnan , who, according to legend, were beheaded at the instigation of Gosbert and his wife Gailana in 689 in Würzburg. Gosbert's son, Heden II, wanted to make amends for his parents' murder. Therefore, in 716 he donated the hamulo castellum , which he had inherited from his parents as a fiefdom and which was in the western Franconian Saale Valley, with all its goods to establish a monastery to Bishop Willibrord . However, this donation did not come into force because Heden II got into a conflict with Karl Martell around 717 and was murdered. The son and wife of Hedens II were also killed, so that the transfer of ownership of the hamulo castellum to Willibrord was not legally effective. The first original settlement of Hammelburg fell back in 717 as a fief to the Merovingian king Chilperich II. Daniel , who ruled from 716 to 721.

Hedens II's deed of donation from 716 is no longer preserved in the original, but is only available as a copy from the 12th century in various text versions, which differ particularly in the dating of the deed. In one of these copies, the date of the original creation of the certificate is dated exactly to “the calendar of May”, ie May 1, 716. According to another copy and text version, which can be found in the “Golden Book” of the Echternach monastery , the date is dated 14 days before (lat. XIIII Kal. Maias ). According to the different sources of the copies from the 12th century and due to differences in the translation and back calculation of the Roman date XIIII Kal. Maias into German, there are different opinions on the dating of the original document: April 16, 716 according to Heinrich Ullrich, Chronik der Stadt Hammelburg, 1956; April 19, 716 after Philipp Joseph Döll, 1873; April 18, 716 according to Dieter Vogler, project team for the 1300 year celebration in Hammelburg, 2016; May 1, 716 according to Anna-Maria Stolze, student thesis 2005, FHS Jena.

Opinions still differ about where exactly the former hamulo castellum was. Heinrich Ullrich, the author of the chronicle of the city of Hammelburg , takes the view in his historical work published in 1956 that the southwestern part of today's historic old town of Hammelburg was the former settlement. Others suspected the “Urburg” on the Saaleck mountain, which lies to the left of the Saale. From the 11th century onwards, a castle complex rose on the ridge; Saaleck Castle is still located there today. A geophysical soil investigation, which was carried out by the State Office for Monument Preservation in 2015, has empirically proven that there was no castle on the Saaleck mountain before the 11th century, that accordingly neither today's Saaleck Castle nor a supposed castle complex further back the former " Urburg ”of the city.

The hamulo castellum was very likely - according to the doctrine of the chronicler of the city of Hammelburg, Heinrich Ullrich - not a castle in the current sense, but a smaller courtyard with a mansion, which was surrounded by ramparts and ditches and was on a low hill to the right of the bank of the Saale. In the moderately raised courtyard, which could not be reached by the flooding of the Saale, fortified farmers lived with a "gentleman" as estate manager. The fortified farmers had to manage the hamulo castellum's estates and pay taxes to the king or his vassals. In the document from 716 fields, meadows, pastures, forests, standing and flowing water are mentioned, which belonged to the hamulo castellum at that time , but not yet vineyards. According to a copy from the 12th century, “8 maids” (Latin ancillis VIII ) and servants are said to have performed their duties in the mansion of the hamulo castellum around 716.

Philipp Josef Döll, royal notary in Hammelburg and Werneck, who published his first book on the history of Hammelburg in 1873, was of the opinion that the hamulo castellum could have existed as early as the late Roman times (4th / 5th centuries) and by a man named Hamulo was founded. This first early settlement could have been a so-called Roman fiscus , ie a place that had to pay taxes to the Roman governor of its province. In the early 6th century - according to this theory - the Merovingian kings took over this fiscus , which had been called hamulo castellum since its foundation , and gave it as a fief. Benefiting from its location at the intersection of important old streets (for example Ortweg ) and a ford across the Franconian Saale , the hamulo castellum came into contact with Christianity at an early age.

At the end of the 7th century, Iro-Scottish wandering monks proselytized in the Hammelburg region. A first small wooden church, which was consecrated to Saint Martinus , already stood in 716 on the former pre-Christian “Thingplatz” of the former settlement. It is the place where Hammelburg's parish church still rises today. Hammelburg was mentioned for a second time in 741, when Karlmann dedicated the early and first wooden church of hamulo castellum , which later became the region’s baptistery, together with 20 other state-owned churches dedicated to St. Boniface bequeathed to founding the diocese of Würzburg . On January 7, 777, Charlemagne gave the fiscus Hammelburg with all its goods and possessions - except for the Martinskirche, which has belonged to the diocese of Würzburg since 741 - to the Fulda monastery , which was founded in 744 by Sturmius . The Fulda Cross in Hammelburg's city coat of arms still bears witness to this important era, which lasted for over 1000 years until 1802.

The donation of Charlemagne in 777 to the Fulda monastery included not only fields, meadows, pastures and forests, but also vineyards. Vineae (vineyards) were not mentioned in 716 in the deed of donation from Hede II to Willibrord. As a result, wine-growing in Hammelburg came into being between the two deeds of donation in 716 and 777. In the course of the increasing Christianization of the region, more mass wine was required, which was now grown on the hills around the hamulo castellum . Because Hammelburg is the only town in Lower Franconia to have the oldest - original - document (it is Charlemagne's deed of donation from 777), in which vineae (vineyards) are mentioned, Hammelburg has been able to call itself the "oldest wine town in Franconia" since 2002.

Hammelburg was the seat of the Fulda Oberamt Hammelburg .

1500 to date

From 1500 Hammelburg belonged to the Upper Rhine Empire . In 1530 the Hammelburg Treaty between the Archbishopric Mainz and the city of Erfurt was concluded here.

"At thief Acher way in Happschen Brewery" in Hammelburg existed a medieval leper colony that still existed in 1763 as a leper. It is not known when the leper house was established.

From 1797 to 1803 Hammelburg was the garrison town of the 2nd Fulda Landwehr Battalion. From 1803 to 1806 Hammelburg belonged to Nassau-Oranien-Fulda and was administered in French under Napoleon's brother-in-law, Marshal Murat , until 1810. In 1810 Hammelburg came to the Grand Duchy of Frankfurt , 1813 to Austria and 1816 to Bavaria .

From 1816 to 1869 Hammelburg was the garrison town of the Royal Bavarian Landwehr Battalion Hammelburg. In a major fire on April 25, 1854, 303 main and 370 auxiliary buildings in the city center were destroyed.

During the German War of 1866, in the course of the Battle of Kissingen am Buchberg near Hammelburg on July 10th, there was a battle between units of the Bavarian and Prussian troops . The Landwehr battalion was deployed as a supply and medical association and as a fire fighting unit for the fires in Hammelburg. After the dissolution of the Royal Bavarian Landwehr in 1869, the magistrate tried to station a unit of the Bavarian Army. In 1895 the Hammelburg military training area was built. During the November pogroms of 1938, an SA storm from Hammelburg barbarically demolished the homes and businesses of Jewish families in Dittlofsroda and Völkersleier and set fire to the synagogues in both places .

In March 1945, the American " Command Company Hammelburg " attacked the Hammelburg camp on the orders of General Patton unsuccessfully to free prisoners of war, including Patton's son-in-law.

Until the regional reform , which came into force on July 1, 1972, Hammelburg was the seat of the Hammelburg district with the HAB license plate .

Hundsfeld and Bonnland, however, are not separate districts of the city of Hammelburg, but "training villages" of the Bundeswehr in the Hammelburg camp. With the incorporation of Gauaschach, the series of incorporations was completed on May 1, 1978.

coat of arms

Hammelburg coat of arms
 Blazon : “Split by silver and red; in front a floating black paw cross, behind on a green three-mountain three silver natural lilies sloping to the left. "

Coat of arms history: Hammelburg was a city that was ruled by the abbots of Fulda. It came into their possession in 777 through the so-called Hammelburg donation and remained there until 1802. The city received city rights from Abbot Konrad Malkes, which King Albrecht I in 1303 and Emperor Charles IV in 1356 confirmed. The city's oldest seals, dating from 1283 to 1360, show St. Boniface seated on a throne. Bonifatius is the patron saint of the prince monastery of Fulda . In the seal of 1430 two small plates were added, the one on the right with a castle with three towers talking about the local name part of the castle, the one on the left bears the Fulda cross. Around 1500 the coat of arms was created separately from the seal. The coat of arms also shows the Fulda cross, but instead of the castle the lilies for the three patron saints of the city of Fulda ( Simplicius , Faustinus and Beatrix ). From 1818 the colors in the coat of arms were changed to silver and blue and the Fulda cross from black to red. This was done for political reasons. No evidence of former territorial claims was wanted. From 1836 the old coat of arms returned unchanged and was officially awarded on July 8, 1955.
