Mönchshütte (desert)
Mönchshütte is a deserted area in the Iphöfer district of Possenheim in the Lower Franconian district of Kitzingen . The farm was abandoned before the 16th century. The reasons for this are unclear.
Geographical location
The desert can be found in the east of the Possenheim district. The “Mönchshütte” forest department still remembers the former settlement today. To the north the so-called Blässerwald begins in the area of Markt Einersheim , to the northeast the Schnackenbacherholz rises. The Waldhof can be found to the east . Today the federal road 8 leads past the deserted area in the south . The Seehof is located to the southwest .
history
The name of the desert refers to the use of the former farm. So one can translate the name as “monk's hut”. Perhaps it also comes from the Middle High German word sutte , which means morass or puddle. Sutte was later also used for a hospital room . There was probably a hermitage for the monks from the Benedictine monastery Münsterschwarzach at this point , and the courtyard may also have been used as a hermitage.
The first and only mention of the farm took place in 1506. The areas of influence were determined in a hunting contract between the Counts of Castell and the Limpurg taverns , who both owned large forests in the area. Castell owned the forest "biss auff die Munchshoffe" and Limpurg should "hunt power and have violence on the Munchsutten". The farm probably no longer existed at this point.
