history
Mädelhofen probably originated from a resting place for hikers and pilgrims on the way to the nearby Unterzell monastery . The nuns cleared the forest area that existed here and built some farm estates. The name Mädelhofen has its origin in Mettenhofen, whereby the Mette is a synonym for worship . The older literature, on the other hand, assumes that the name is derived from the “farm in the middle” between the villages of Waldbrunn and Roßbrunn.
On May 1, 1978, the community of Roßbrunn, to which Mädelhofen belonged, was incorporated into Waldbüttelbrunn as part of the regional reform . The village renewal Roßbrunn-Mädelhofen was decided on September 19, 1988 by the municipal council of Waldbüttelbrunn.
Madelhofen hunting lodge
The remains of the foundations of the Mädelhofen hunting lodge , which was to be built in 1724 by Balthasar Neumann for the Würzburg Prince-Bishop Johann Philipp Franz von Schönborn , are located in the Waldbrunn district to the south-east of the town, near today's motorway entrance . It was to be a two-storey building with a mansard hipped roof and an oval central projectile. On August 18, 1724, after the death of the builder Schönborn, construction work was stopped. The foundation walls that had been completed by then were uncovered after they were discovered by accident on June 13, 1990 during a routine flight by the motorway police ( aerial archeology ). Farmers had previously reported repeatedly about stone finds. In the following years the land became state property. The foundation walls have been restored and are under monument protection.
