history

Until the church is planted

Kirchzell is a community with 1200 years of history. Kirchzell owes its foundation to the Benedictine abbey in Amorbach. In 1168 the Amorbach monastery and with it Kirchzell came under the rule of the Lords of Dürn . This dynasty built Wildenberg Castle (also Wildenburg) on the Preunschener Berg , which was a masterpiece of castle construction in the Staufer era . 100 years later, the noblemen of Dürn sold their lands to the Archbishop of Mainz. In 1700 Kirchzell was granted market rights as the central parish of the "Kirchzeller Grund" . The Mainz office was assigned to the Prince of Leiningen in the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss (1803) , mediated by Baden in 1806 and ceded to Hessen-Darmstadt in 1810 . In the Hessen / Bavaria recession (Frankfurt 1816) it finally fell to Bavaria . In the course of the administrative reforms in Bavaria, today's municipality was created with the municipal edict of 1818 .

Administrative history

In 1862 the Miltenberg district office was formed, on whose administrative area Kirchzell was located. As everywhere in the German Reich , the term district was introduced in 1939. Kirchzell was now one of the 31 parishes in the old district of Miltenberg . On July 1, 1972, this merged with the district of Obernburg am Main to form the new district of Miltenberg .

Incorporations

On January 1, 1975, the previously independent communities Ottorfszell, Preunschen (community name until 1870 Preunschen-Buch ) and Watterbach were incorporated into the Kirchzell market. They included the districts of Breitenbuch and Buch and the hamlets of Dörnbach, Breitenbach, Schrahmühle and Hofmühle.

Oddities

Kirchzell

In Kirchzell, too, beans were grown in the middle of the 19th century . In the dialect, the elongated pod that surrounds it was called “Schludde”, meaning the whole fruit was called “Schluddebohne”. The strange word creation was of course the reason for the nickname for the neighboring towns - Ortsnecknames .

Ottorfszell

Ravens and crows are the birds with the greatest intelligence , scientists have found in a study. This is also confirmed by the neighboring communities by giving the inhabitants of the Gabelbachtal the local name “Talkrabbe”.

Watterbach

The people of Watterbach received the nickname "Gräbbeleshüpfer" from their neighbors because they dug irrigation ditches through agricultural land in order to achieve a reasonable yield on the high-lying area.
