history

District reform

When entered into force on 1 January 1973 Baden-Württemberg district reform the Altkreise were Mergentheim and Tauberbischofsheim and five municipalities of the also defunct district Book for new Tauber district combined. On January 1, 1974, it was renamed Main-Tauber-Kreis . Tauberbischofsheim became the district town, although this town is only the fourth largest in the district. However, it is relatively central. The two old districts of Bad Mergentheim and Tauberbischofsheim go back to the old upper offices or offices of the same name. The former Württemberg Oberamt Mergentheim was set up in 1809 after the area was transferred to the Kingdom of Württemberg , renamed the Mergentheim district in 1934 and transferred to the Mergentheim district in 1938, which also included some communities in the dissolved Gerabronn district . In Tauberbischofsheim there was a Baden office from 1813, which was changed several times in the course of history and was finally transferred to the Tauberbischofsheim district in 1938 with the inclusion of the dissolved office of Wertheim . The places of the part of the Main-Tauber-Kreis, which belonged to the district of Buchen until 1972, belonged to the office of Adelsheim until 1936. The district reform of 1973 thus created a district that is composed of former Baden and Württemberg communities.

After the municipal reform has been completed, it will comprise 18 municipalities, including eleven cities and of these, in turn, two major district cities (Bad Mergentheim and Wertheim). In terms of population, Bad Mergentheim is the largest municipality and Wittighausen the smallest. Based on the municipal area, Wertheim is the largest municipality and Assamstadt the smallest. The municipality with the highest population density is Tauberbischofsheim with 000000000000191.0000000000191 inhabitants per km², the one with the smallest Ahorn and Creglingen with 41 inhabitants per km² each.

Mergers: Creation of a circle identity

After the merging of the Altland districts of Tauberbischofsheim and Bad Mergentheim to form the Main-Tauber district, several mergers of various associations and organizations followed:

  • On January 1, 1974, the Tauberbischofsheim and Bad Mergentheim craftsmen merged to form the Main-Tauber-Kreis district craftsmen .
  • On December 7, 1974, the district farmers 'associations Tauberbischofsheim and Mergentheim merged to form the district farmers' association Main-Tauber-Kreis .
  • In 1992 the Main-Tauber-Nord and Main-Tauber-Süd district fire brigade associations merged to form the Main-Tauber district fire brigade association .
  • In 2002 the Kreissparkasse Mergentheim and the Sparkasse Tauberfranken merged to form the Sparkasse Tauberfranken .
  • In 2009 Volksbank Main-Tauber eG , founded in 1862, took on Volksbank Bad Mergentheim eG.

The Main-Tauber district continues to be divided into two parts, for example in terms of church organization, the judiciary and areas of sport.

Economy and Infrastructure

Circle structure and focus

The Main-Tauber district offers around 48,266 jobs. The unemployment is at 3.3% (as of September 2012) just half that in Germany and lower than the national average. Around 48% of employees work in the manufacturing sector , followed by trade (18%) and other services (34%). In agriculture and forestry , only one percent of all employees work in which two-thirds of the municipalities viticulture is operated. A trademark of the region is the economic strength and diversity. The Main-Tauber-Kreis has a mixture of large, medium-sized and small companies from various industries.

In the Future Atlas 2016 , the Main-Tauber-Kreis ranked 164th out of 402 rural districts, municipal associations and independent cities in Germany, making it one of the regions with a “balanced risk-opportunity mix”.

The main industries in the Main-Tauber district are mechanical engineering , wood processing and the glass industry . Health care is becoming increasingly important.

There used to be several Bundeswehr locations in the Main-Tauber district with the Deutschorden barracks in Bad Mergentheim, the Kurmainz barracks in Tauberbischofsheim, the Prinz-Eugen barracks in Külsheim and the Tauberfranken barracks in Lauda. Today there is still the Niederstetten airfield with the Hermann-Köhl barracks .

For the medium - sized Main-Tauber district, in addition to the manufacturing industry, the following are important:

tourism

Regional community "Liebliches Taubertal"

With the “Liebliches Taubertal” regional community, which was founded in 1951, holidaymakers in the Tauberfranken region are being wooed across cities. Cycle tourism in particular has experienced a steady upswing over the past 40 years.

Tourist routes

The Romantic Road , one in Würzburg starting scenic route , passing through the Main-Tauber-Kreis and changes in Rothenburg ob der Tauber again in the Bavarian francs. It is the oldest and one of the most famous holiday routes in Germany. In addition, the Main-Tauber district is also on Siegfriedstrasse . Both scenic routes lead past many sights.

The Taubertal Wine Route runs from Wertheim to Niederstetten . It leads through the wine-growing regions of Baden , Franconia and Württemberg . Numerous wineries are located along the route.

Biking and hiking trails

In the district there are some cycle paths, some of which have won awards, for example the Taubertal cycle path , a 101 kilometer long cycle path . The cycle path, which was opened in July 1980 as the “Liebliches Taubertal” cycle path, runs through the entire length of the Tauber valley and has only few inclines. The cycle path, also known as the “Liebliches Taubertal - the classic”, has been certified as a five-star cycle path by the General German Bicycle Club (ADFC) since 2009. In the side valleys of the Taubertal, the “Liebliches Taubertal - der Sportive” cycle path is a complementary route.

In 2012 the Main-Tauber-Kreis published a cycle path concept as a cycle traffic plan. The cycle path concept serves as an important basis for funding applications from the district and the municipalities.

The 130-kilometer Taubertal Panorama Trail , opened in 2009, was awarded the “Wanderable Germany” seal of quality in 2012. In addition, the Jakobsweg Main-Taubertal, which begins and ends in Bavaria, mainly leads through the Main-Tauber district.

In addition to the signposted cycle paths, there are also several educational wine trails in the district for hikers, for example at the municipal Rebgut am Edelberg in Tauberbischofsheim . In Bad Mergentheim and Tauberbischofsheim there are “fitness trails” that can be followed in several routes with movement and information boards.

Viticulture

The Tauberfranken wine region - almost congruent with the Main-Tauber district - is an independent wine-growing area in the Baden wine-growing region , which includes the vineyards between Bad Mergentheim-Dainbach and Wertheim-Dertingen. Lauda-Königshofen , Markelsheim and Weikersheim are known for viticulture in the Main-Tauber district .

There are also some smaller private, self-marketing wine-growing businesses. This region and parts of the Ortenau are the only German wine regions outside of Bavaria in which wine can be bottled in Bocksbeutel , which is considered a symbol of Franconian wine .

Sports

The "fencing town" Tauberbischofsheim in the Main-Tauber district is home to the world-famous fencing club TBB (with over 370 medals at the Olympic Games, World and European Championships), which was founded in 1954 by Emil Beck as the fencing department at TSV Tauberbischofsheim. It has existed as an independent association since 1967. In addition to a state and federal performance center , the FC TBB also had the national Olympic base in Tauberbischofsheim from 1986 to 2017 , which has been the federal base for the sport of fencing since 2018 .

Other successful clubs in the Main-Tauber district are FV Lauda (14 seasons in the Baden-Württemberg Football League ), TV Creglingen (six seasons in the German women's volleyball league ), Viktoria Wertheim ( 1965/66 for a Year in the 1st amateur league in North Baden , which was the top amateur class and the third highest German division until the Oberliga Baden-Württemberg was founded in the 1978/79 season) and TSV Tauberbischofsheim (several German championships in various sports) as one of the oldest and one of the largest in terms of members Sports clubs in North Baden .

traffic

Road traffic

The responsibility for the construction of roads and bridges as well as the operation and maintenance of the roads lies with the Road Construction Office of the Main-Tauber district. There are road maintenance depots in Bad Mergentheim (with a base in Weikersheim and a winter base in Creglingen ), Tauberbischofsheim (with a base in Boxberg ) and Wertheim - Besteheid (with a salt silo in Külsheim ).

The federal motorway 81 , opened in 1974, runs in a south-west-north-east direction from Heilbronn to Würzburg across the district with the Boxberg , Ahorn and Tauberbischofsheim junctions . It joins the federal motorway 3 Würzburg– Frankfurt just beyond the regional and state borders at the Würzburg-West motorway triangle . This only has the Wertheim / Lengfurt junction in the far north in the district. The southern district is connected to the federal motorway network via the federal motorway 7 , which runs in bordering Bavaria . Furthermore, several federal, state and district roads open up the district. The district is responsible for its own district road network of 462.7 kilometers in length.

An important federal road is the B 19 Schwäbisch Hall –Würzburg and the federal road 290 , which opens up the middle Taubertal between Tauberbischofsheim and Bad Mergentheim. The route of the B 290 between Tauberbischofsheim and Gerlachsheim was opened to traffic in 1973. The expansion of the B 292 between the A 81 and Boxberg was opened to traffic in 1989.

Although the district belongs to the Stuttgart administrative district, the northern and central district area is more oriented towards the Würzburg area. The big city of Würzburg is only a few kilometers away.

Rail transport

Railway network LK Main-Tauber.png

The Franconian Railway from Stuttgart via Lauda to Würzburg was opened by the Grand Ducal Baden State Railways in 1866. From there branching off in Lauda, ​​the Lauda – Wertheim tauber down to Wertheim and - branching off in Königshofen - the Crailsheim – Königshofen up tauber up to Bad Mergentheim in 1869 went into operation, where it was extended by the Württemberg State Railroad via Weikersheim to Crailsheim.

The Weikersheim – Creglingen branch line, which only opened in 1909, was connected to the Gaubahn to Ochsenfurt in Bieberehren . The Bavarian State Railway operated from Wertheim from 1881 up the Main on the railway line to Lohr and from 1912 down the Main to Miltenberg. The railway construction ended in 1914 with the branch line Tauberbischofsheim – Königheim .

The rail network in the district was now 116 kilometers long; Twelve kilometers of this have been shut down to date (however, the individual routes that went beyond the district boundaries and were shut down were much longer overall):

  • 1967: (Bieberehren – Reinsbronn²–) Creglingen (two kilometers)
  • 1968: Tauberbischofsheim – Königheim (six kilometers)
  • 1974: (Ochsenfurt – Bieberehren–) Weikersheim (three kilometers)
  • 1976: (Lohr – Marktheidenfeld–) Wertheim (one kilometer)

With the public transport law of the state of Baden-Württemberg, responsibility for local transport was transferred to the district in 1996. The local transport company Main-Tauber mbH was founded with an initial half participation of the district and the transport company. The three previously existing transport associations finally merged to form Verkehrsgesellschaft Main-Tauber mbH (VGMT). In order to further optimize local traffic, the Main-Tauber district joined the Rhein-Neckar transport association in April 2003 . Since then, its uniform tariff conditions have been in effect on all routes. A transitional arrangement enables the use of VRN tickets up to Würzburg Hbf. With the VRN tariffs, you can travel from the Tauber to Mannheim, Heidelberg and Alsace with uniform tariffs.

Water transport

A Main ferry connects Mondfeld with the Bavarian Stadtprozelten in the Miltenberg district .

The Mainhafen Wertheim lies in the district area. Shipping has always been of great importance for Wertheim, as the location on the Main and Tauber could be used very well. The Mainhafen Wertheim originated in the Wertheimer Grafschaft. The mouth of the Tauber offered itself as an ideal natural harbor, and until well after the Second World War there was a shipping pier extending upstream from the Mainspitze. This was used for both passenger and freight traffic. In 1964, the then Tauberbischofsheim district and the city of Wertheim founded the Mainhafen Wertheim association.

air traffic

With the Niederstetten airfield , the Main-Tauber district has a commercial airfield . In a public-private partnership, the runway was extended in accordance with the latest legal requirements and the facility equipped with a new, modern instrument landing system. The expanded airfield was opened in 2011.

Other airfields are located in Hochhausen , Niederstetten , Unterschüpf and Wertheim .

The "Krankenhaus und Heime Main-Tauber GmbH" (KHMT) consists of the Tauberbischofsheim Hospital , the neighboring Haus Heimberg senior center with residential complex and care areas, and the Gerlachsheim senior center. On January 1, 2012, Gesundheitsholding Tauberfranken gGmbH was founded as a joint corporate and organizational umbrella of Caritas-Krankenhaus Bad Mergentheim gGmbH (CKBM) and KHMT. The holding is formed by the three shareholders Barmherzige Brüder Trier with 51 percent, the Caritas Association of the Diocese of Rottenburg-Stuttgart with 29 percent and the Main-Tauber district with 20 percent . Both CKBM and KHMT will continue to exist as independent companies. In future, however, KHMT's shareholders will be the health holding Tauberfranken with 94.9 percent and the Main-Tauber district with 5.1 percent. The same applies to the CKBM. Here, too, the health holding Tauberfranken becomes a shareholder with 94.9 percent, the old shareholders still hold 5.1 percent.

Bronnbach Monastery

View of the Bronnbach monastery acquired by the Main-Tauber district in 1986

In 1986 the Main-Tauber-Kreis acquired the former Cistercian Abbey of Bronnbach Monastery to prevent further deterioration of the valuable building fabric. In the meantime, u. a. established a cultural center. The Bronnbach Monastery is idyllically located on the lower Tauberlauf, near the large district town of Wertheim.

The Main-Tauber-Kreis has developed the property into a spiritual, scientific and cultural center. Today four missionaries of the Holy Family do spiritual work. Scientific institutions such as the Fraunhofer Institute for Silicate Research as well as Process and Measurement Technology, the Main-Tauber Archive Network or the Museum for Rural Cultural Assets are contact points for business and those interested in history.

Numerous cultural events are offered under the name "Bronnbacher Cultures" and modern conference rooms and overnight accommodation are available in the Bursariat guest house and in the orangery. The latest piece of the puzzle is the "Bronnbach Academy", which invites you to interesting lectures and educational offers on the topics of history, music, wine growing and growing, art and business. A special treat is the "Vinothek Taubertal" created in the prelate building. In the historic vaulted cellar there, 20 wine-growing companies from all over the Taubertal present themselves and present their best products.

Since January 1st, 2007, the Main-Tauber-Kreis has combined its Bronnbach activities in its own business "Kloster Bronnbach".

Energy agency

The energy agency was founded in December 2008 as a company in the Main-Tauber district in the legal form of a GmbH. The sole shareholder is the Main-Tauber district. The agency supplements and promotes the range of tasks of the Main-Tauber District District Office in the areas of climate and environmental protection, economic development, agriculture and waste recycling. The main topics in this regard are energy saving, energy efficiency and the increased use of renewable energies. The focus of the work is on advice, information and the transfer of knowledge.

Culture and sights

particularities

In the Main-Tauber-Kreis there was no consolidation of settlements and industry as in the metropolitan areas , so that outdoor cultural monuments , such as wayside shrines and other small monuments, have largely been well preserved in a structure that has been agricultural since the Middle Ages. For this reason, according to Bernhard Losch, the Main-Tauber district is also home to most of the murder and atonement crosses of all districts in Baden-Württemberg.

Architectural, art and cultural monuments

Cultural monuments

Among the cultural monuments , the small monuments and boundary stones of the 18 municipalities are gradually recorded in the geographic information system (GIS) of the Main-Tauber district and made available to the public with coordinates and descriptions on a separate website.

War memorials

Murder and Atonement Crosses

Of the numerous murder and atonement crosses preserved in the district up to modern times, the stone cross nest near Reicholzheim is particularly worth mentioning. It is the largest known collection of stone crosses in southern Germany with 14 stone crosses made of sandstone, which are embedded in a sandstone retaining wall. Around the stone cross nest there are various variants of a legend in which up to 14 boys are said to have killed each other in a dispute over a village beauty.

Free-range crossroads

In the predominantly Catholic parts of the Main-Tauber district there are over 20 open-air crossroads .

License Plate

On January 1, 1973, the Tauber District (now Main-Tauber District) was assigned the TBB distinctive sign , which had been valid for the Tauberbischofsheim district since July 1, 1956 . It is still issued today. Until the 1990s, vehicles from the old district of Mergentheim were given license plates with the letter pairs RA to ZZ and the numbers from 1 to 999. As a result of license plate liberalization , the MGH (Bad Mergentheim) distinctive sign has been available since January 7, 2014 .
