Lindach is a district of the municipality of Kolitzheim in the southern district of Schweinfurt in Lower Franconia with around 550 inhabitants.

Geographical location

Lindach is located in the far west of the Kolitzheim municipality. The municipality of Röthlein begins further north with the Hirschfeld district. In the northeast lies Gernach , while in the east Kolitzheim itself can be found. To the south-east rises Öttershausen , which already belongs to the district of Volkach - Gaibach in the district of Kitzingen . Stammheim is in the south. The west is taken by Wipfeld , which, however, is on the opposite side of the Main. The district of St. Ludwig , on the other hand, can be found near Lindach.

The village, located in the open about two and a half kilometers northwest of Kolitzheim and one and a half kilometers east of the Main , originally ran as a street perch village in a north-south orientation along today's Lindenstrasse. The path over the mountain ranges made it possible to bypass the paths in the often flooded Mainaue.

history

The place name Lindach refers to an early foundation and the proximity to a stream lined with linden trees. "Lintaha" was first mentioned in 880, when the Fulda monastery gave away its property in the village to other gentlemen. In 1141 the Würzburg bishop Embricho handed over the left Main part of the parish of Wipfeld, including Hirschfeld, Gernach and Lindach, to the Augustinian canons of Heidenfeld . A pilgrimage route to Kirchberg in Volkach ran through the village in the Middle Ages.

In the 15th century, several lords had influence on the village. In 1426, Erkinger von Seinsheim handed over his possessions in Lindach to the Carthusians of Astheim . In the Peasants' War, the Lindach people took part in the uprising against the landlords of the area. After the uprising was put down, two local farmers' leaders were arrested. In the period that followed, many villagers joined the Reformation . Only the Counter-Reformation under Bishop Julius Echter and the establishment of the parish Heidenfeld with Lindach as a branch ended this development. Today the place is mostly Catholic.

In 1978, the formerly independent community of Lindach was added to the newly constituted Kolitzheim community as part of the Bavarian community reform .

Attractions

The former town hall of the village

Several architectural monuments have been preserved in Lindach. The center of the village has been the St. Antonius branch church since the 17th century. It has a typical Julius Echter pointed helmet . The nave was built around 1691 in its current form. In the second half of the 18th century, the classical interior got into the church. Possibly the Würzburg court artist Johann Peter Wagner created the multi-part way of the cross in the nave.

The former town hall comes from the Renaissance and was probably built at the same time as the church. It has a stepped gable typical of the time and was built with a half-timbered upper floor. The upper floor is entered through an outside staircase. Other houses from past centuries shape the townscape. In addition, there since the 16th century the so-called Käppele on the edge, which in its interior a valuable Pietà the late Gothic contains.

Typical of a Catholic village in Main Franconia are the many wayside shrines and small memorials that were set up in the village and its district. They are way stations and monuments of popular piety . A group of figures on Öttershausener Strasse is particularly impressive. The seated Christ is crowned with a crown of thorns by a torturer . The wayside shrine dates from 1733.

Viticulture

The vineyards around Lindach in the early 19th century

Today Lindach is a wine-growing area in the Franconian wine-growing region . There is a vineyard around the village, the wine is marketed under the name Lindacher Kreuzpfad. Lindach is part of the range Volkacher Main loop until 2017, the wineries in area were Maindreieck summarized. The Keuper soils with a thin layer of clay around Lindach are also suitable for growing wine, as is the location in the Maingau climate zone, which is one of the warmest in Germany.

The people around Lindach have been growing wine since the early Middle Ages . The Franconian settlers probably brought the vine to the Main in the 7th century. Viticulture around Lindach can be proven for the first time as early as 880. In the Middle Ages, the region was part of the largest contiguous wine-growing region in the Holy Roman Empire. The people mostly operated part-time viticulture for self-sufficiency , at the same time export centers were already emerging, especially along the Main.

Viticulture experienced a major decline after secularization at the beginning of the 19th century. Above all, locations with less favorable climatic conditions were completely abandoned. In addition, the emergence of pests such as phylloxera made cultivation difficult . In Lindach soon there was no longer any viticulture at all. The Franconian wine-growing region was not able to consolidate again until the second half of the 20th century. The use of fertilizers and improved cultivation methods had contributed to this, as had the organization in cooperatives and the land consolidation of the 1970s.

Viticulture has only been practiced to a limited extent in Lindach since 1981, the name of the Kreuzpfad location refers to a 19th century crucifix that stands by the roadside. At times, a small wine festival was even celebrated in the village , which took place at the beginning of July every year. A total of two wineries exist in the place.
