history

middle Ages

In 1245 the place was first mentioned as Lindebach in a donation to the Bronnbach monastery ("Recognition of the Probst of Triefenstein"). In 1315 there was another documentary mention of Lyndelbach in a deed (vineyards) to the Bronnbach monastery. These documents suggest that the actual development of Lindelbach, as patches of some courtyards in which serfs were settled, originated from the Bronnbach Monastery and the German Order in Neubrunn. The nature of the goods (vineyards) makes it clear that Lindelbach was already a wine-growing village at that time. In 1325 Lynde (l) bach appeared in a deed of assignment of church property (Reicholzheim and Urphar) from the Würzburg bishop to Count Rudolf von Wertheim. In 1342 the place was mentioned in a deed of donation by Bettingen for goods from Lindelbach. In 1355 there was a written note in a tax list.

In 1379 there was a change of rulership: Lindelbach changed from belonging to the Prozelten rulership to the German Order Office in Neubrunn, but gave the tithe to Wertheim. From 1384 to 1473 a quarrel of wisdom followed: the German Order of Neubrunn and the Counts of Wertheim fought over property and customary rights. The counts ultimately emerged as winners.

Modern times

In 1525 Lindelbacher took part in the Peasants' War. In 1542 the population was about 100 people. This was based on a war tax list that was collected to finance the war against the Turks. From 1599 to 1617 there was a feudal dispute between Bishop Julius Echter von Würzburg and the Counts of Wertheim. From 1618 to 1648, Swedish, imperial, Croatian and other armies marched through during the Peasants' War. In 1699 the Lindelbach prophet was documented in a Capuchin chronicle (propheta ex Lindelbach). In 1709, all possessions (land, farmsteads, gardens, fields, meadows, vineyards and forest) were mentioned in a Mäß and Anlaag book of the "high counts Löwenstein- Wertheimischen village Lindelbach".

In 1719 the church was built in its present form. In 1752 Lindelbach citizens submitted various applications to emigrate to America.

Lindelbach was an independent municipality in the Tauberbischofsheim district until it was incorporated into Wertheim on January 1, 1972. Since January 1, 1973, Lindelbach has been in the Main-Tauber district . On December 31, 2017, Lindelbach had 457 residents.

Culture and sights

Buildings and cultural monuments

Protestant church

In the place there was a late medieval branch church, which was replaced by a new building in 1719. Two winged altars were given to the State Museum in Karlsruhe around 1920. The Romanesque font was probably only brought here later.

Lindelbach Altarpiece

Today's Protestant village was once Catholic. A winged altar, a crucifix and a stump of Christ from the Franconian school ( Riemenschneider workshop) and a late Romanesque baptismal font date from this period around 1509 . Unfortunately, these were partly sold and partly given away by the pastor at the time in 1903 according to a resolution of the community in order to use the proceeds to finance a “correspondingly” worthy altar and the installation of a second church door. The description of the winged altar says: “The entire altarpiece is well preserved and has not been restored. A valuable work of the Franconian school. The carving of the central figures is excellent, the wings and predella , whose figures appear too flattened , are less successful . The paintings rough and secure; especially fast the back. Good wrinkling; Even, somewhat grumpy expression, noticeably small noses, blue backgrounds with gold stars. ”Today the altars are in the Karlsruhe State Museum.

Lindelbach prophet

In the Fürstlich-Löwenstein-Wertheim-Rosenbergschen archive there is an original report from 1699 about the so-called "Lindelbach Prophet". An angel in a white cloud is said to have appeared to a young man of 15 years old who asked him if he wanted to go up to heaven with him. With him a boy from Saxony and from another region went to heaven. He was there for three days before he returned safely to earth. In fantastic stories the Lindelbach boy described his experiences and the wonderful things he had seen there. According to reports from Catholic circles, the stories of the Lindelbach prophet met with open ears, especially among Lutherans, who apparently saw the miracle as confirmation of their faith. They flocked to their prophet in Lindelbach in droves and listened to his heavenly travel reports. The prophet was even able to provide evidence: namely, an egg that he had received in heaven. When the Catholic authorities heard of these stories, they wanted to put an end to the superstitious goings-on and brought the matter to the Wertheim court. In the course of this, the boy finally admitted that he was only joking and making fun of the people who had believed him so easily. The sky egg was a common pigeon egg. As a punishment, the young man was hit with a rod on the square in front of the Zehnthaus.
