history
The place name Holzhausen probably goes back to the natural occurrences in the area around the village. This is how houses were built in a large forest area . Holzhausen was first documented in 1137, when the name "Holzhusun" appeared in a Henneberg document book. Perhaps one of the original parishes in the area was established in Holzhausen, so that Christianization was promoted from here.
At first the Hennebergers also ruled the village before the Würzburg prince-bishops were able to expand their influence in 1353. However, in the 14th and 15th centuries, Holzhausen was never subordinate to just one master, so that it was established early on as a so-called Ganerbendorf . During the Middle Ages, Conrad von Berlichingen and the Lords of Rotenhan owned properties here. It was not until 1537 that the bishops of Würzburg succeeded in bringing the entire village under their rule.
Holzhausen was repeatedly destroyed and depopulated during the Markgräfler War , the German Peasant War and the Thirty Years' War . With the dissolution of the Würzburg bishopric through secularization at the beginning of the 19th century, Holzhausen initially came to Bavaria. After a short time as part of the Grand Duchy of Würzburg, the village finally became part of Bavaria in 1814. In 1978 the people of Holzhausen advocated incorporation into Dittelbrunn.
Attractions
Today the center of the village is the Catholic parish church of St. Kilian. It can be considered one of the first parish churches in the area. However, the church has undergone many changes over the centuries. So let Julius Echter von Mespelbrunn in 1608 to build the typical nachgotischen Real Tower. The present nave was built in 1736. Inside, two late Gothic figures of Saints Kilian and Markus, which are attributed to the Riemenschneiderschule , are particularly noteworthy .
A small chapel was built in 1892 on the way to Maibach in the style of historicism . In addition, wayside shrines and small monuments characterize the Holzhausen district. These religious monuments are typical of Catholic places in Franconia . The so-called monolithic shrine from 1608 is particularly noteworthy. It was again created under the government of Bishop Julius Echter and symbolizes the Church Prince's counter-Reformation measures.
