Mönchsondheim is a district of the city of Iphofen in the Lower Franconian district of Kitzingen .

Place name

The etymology of the place name with the components monk, -sond and -heim indicates the origin and development of the settlement. The ending -heim refers to the foundation in the time of the Frankish conquest . The place was probably a branch of the royal court of Iphofen. Sund -heim lay south of it. This is probably where the middle part of today's name comes from. The first constituent monk comes from the fact that the village belonged to monasteries from the 12th to the 19th century.

history

Places with the ending -heim refer to a foundation at the time of the Franconian conquest .

The place Suntheim was mentioned for the first time in 1100 in a document of the St. Stephan monastery in Würzburg . At the end of the 13th century, the village came into the possession of the Ebrach monastery . Although the monastery ruled the village until secularization in 1803, the residents adopted the Protestant denomination. In 1533 they submitted to the protection of the Margraves of Brandenburg-Ansbach . This patronage and the sovereign rights of the monastery repeatedly led to disputes.

When Ebrach Abbey was dissolved in 1803, the place changed from electoral Bavarian to margravial and then French rule. In 1806 Mönchsondheim finally came to the Kingdom of Bavaria .

In 1972 the place was incorporated into Iphofen.

geography

Mönchsondheim is located in a depression in the southwestern Steigerwald foreland. The place is traversed by the Breitbach , in the northwest of the place the Moorseebach and at the southeast end of the village the Kirchbach flows. The place belongs to the Hellmitzheim Bay . This pushes itself deep into the Steigerwald and opens westwards to the Main valley. The Franconian Marienweg runs through the village .

In the southeast of the district of Mönchsondheim lies the Bulach desert . The village was subject to a ten-year fee to the Münsterschwarzach monastery . The settlement must have been abandoned before 1283. The reasons for this are unclear.

Culture and sights

Architectural monuments

Fortified church

It was expanded to a fortified church in the 15th century.

St. Boniface

The parish church of St. Bonifatius is located within the Gaden church castle . For the first time in 1224 a previous building of the house of God was named “capella in suntheim”. In 1638 the church tower of the previous building collapsed. The church could no longer be used and the service took place in the cemetery church for 50 years. Finally, in 1688, after the demolition, the new building of today's church began. On September 7, 1690, Dean Johann Teuerlein from Uffenheim inaugurated the new building.

The wooden pulpit from 1613 was taken over from the old church. The altar of the choir tower church was built at the time of construction. The church received its baptismal font in 1717. As part of the overall renovation of the fortified church, a fundamental renovation of the dilapidated structure and interior renovation took place in 1977.

Cemetery church

The chapel on the church, mentioned for the first time in 1597, no longer exists. Today's cemetery church was built in 1722/1723.

Former town hall

The former town hall of the municipality was used as a meeting place for the municipal administration until 1972. Today it is part of the fortified church museum and delimits the ensemble around the church in the south. The town hall was originally built entirely from half-timbering, but was given a brick ground floor in the 19th century. Particularly noteworthy is the densely crafted half-timbering, which since a renovation in the 1990s shines again in the colors of the early modern era.

Fortified Church Museum

In addition to the fortified church, the open-air museum also includes the surrounding buildings of the typical Franconian village center. In the rooms of the fortified church, visitors are informed about village handicrafts and agriculture. The other buildings such as the town hall, school, inn and farms are used for exhibitions.
