history

Maineck was probably founded as early as the 7th century. The development could have been connected with the building of a church, since the village was originally called Neuenkirchen. It is unlikely, however, that it was the current village church, as its oldest parts, tower and apse , were not built until the second half of the 12th century.

The castle Maineck was probably built in the first half of the 13th century. The name, which over time passed on to the whole village, was given due to its location on a rock spur above the Main. The castle and the village were first mentioned in writing as "Maineck" in 1323. Initially, the castle with its deep moat belonged to the Förtschen von Thurnau and came into the possession of the Bamberg bishopric around 1335, during the reign of Leopold II von Egloffstein . A little later, the official seat of the Bamberg cathedral chapter was relocated there for security reasons. Today's castle-like building has nothing to do with the original castle, but was a former administrative building that was built in 1792/1793. Maineck remained the seat of the cathedral provost until 1802. From 1818 the place formed a community with beatings.

In the mid-1870s, the privateer Friedrich Freiherr von Redwitz founded a malt factory . In 1899 it went bankrupt and was bought and continued by the Erfurt grain trading company, Weise & Hilpert. The partner Paul Hilpert bought the factory from his company in 1902 and moved to Maineck. In 1908 he bought another granulator in Maineck and set up a power station that supplied the whole town with electricity in addition to the factory. In 1979 the company, which had meanwhile been renamed Fränkische Malzfabrik Maineck, ceased operations. The industrial building, which was very modern at the time, still has a decisive influence on the appearance of Maineck.

After the Second World War , a stable bridge was built over the Main, which together with the flood troughs and flood bridges along the Strait of Mainklein prevent flooding, which was often a major problem in earlier centuries.

On January 1, 1974, in the course of the municipal reform, it was incorporated into Altenkunstadt.

religion

From about 1248 onwards, Maineck belonged to the Weismain parish of St. Martin. Around 1733 Maineck was spun off there and came to the parish of Mainroth . In the following decades and centuries the affiliation often changed between Burgkunstadt , Weismain and Mainroth. In 1915 Maineck became its own curate .

Since 1755 the church has had the patronage of All Saints as the only one in the Archdiocese of Bamberg .

Of the 266 inhabitants, in July 2013 approx. 73% (194) were Roman Catholic, approx. 14% (37) Protestant and approx. 13% (35) were non-religious or non-denominational.
