history

Until the church is planted

The place name appeared as "Coldleibesheim" as early as 791, when the landlord Hiltrich and his wife Hruandun gave goods to the Fulda monastery. The author Friedrich Abel assumes that the place was founded as a Franconian settlement around 600 by a Merovingian named Coldleib. Coldleibesheim became "Coldosheim" and "Collosheim", later "Coldsheim" and "Collshem". When the German language became predominant in the documents in the 14th century, it was called "Kolotsheim", "Koleczheim" and "Koliczheim".

In 1796 the French Revolutionary Army occupied Franconia. On the night of July 24 was Kolitzheim of dragoons invaded and pillaged . The marching through of French battalions lasted for days . The population lived in terrible fear. In this need the people of Kolitzheim took a vow : To avert further war distress, they promised to hold a 33-hour prayer every year from Good Friday morning to Holy Saturday evening. This vow is kept to this day.

As part of the high pin Würzburg Kolitzheim was in 1803 in Bavaria's favor secularized , then in the Peace of Pressburg in 1805 Archduke Ferdinand of Tuscany to form the Grand Duchy of Wurzburg left with which it finally at 1814 Bavaria fell. In the course of the administrative reforms in Bavaria, the municipality of Kolitzheim was created with the municipal edict of 1818 . It became part of the former district of Gerolzhofen.

The Gerolzhofen district was dissolved in 1972 and the Kolitzheim community became part of the Schweinfurt district.

badges and flags

The coat of arms was approved by the government of Lower Franconia on January 18, 1982.

Blazon : "Under a red shield head, in it three lowered silver tips, a golden cross-stick and a golden abbot's stick crossed diagonally in blue, above a golden bunch of grapes."

The municipality of Kolitzheim has consisted of the formerly independent municipalities of Gernach, Herlheim, Kolitzheim, Lindach, Oberspiesheim, Stammheim and Zeilitzheim since 1978. The Würzburg bishopric had manorial rights in all of the above-mentioned parts of the community; Herlheim was one of the 742 royal own churches donated by Karlmann to the foundation of the diocese of Würzburg. In addition to the large Würzburg monasteries, such as St. Stephan, the Maidbronn and Ebrach monasteries, as well as the Haug and Heidenfeld monasteries, owned what is now the municipality. As a reference to the ecclesiastical landlord, the municipal coat of arms shows a cross staff and abbot staff. The Würzburg bishopric is represented by its coat of arms, the Franconian rake . The bunch of grapes was chosen as an additional coat of arms because of the viticulture that is particularly practiced in the Stammheim district.

Flag: red-yellow-blue.
