Geographical location

Mainklein lies at 282–298 m above sea level. NN at the southern end of the Häckergrund , through which the Häckergrundbach flows. While the northern district of Weidenburg is still in the foothills of the Häckergrund, the southern part of Mainklein, the core village, is located in a floodplain on the Main . Due to its location in the Upper Franconian Main Valley, the place is part of the Upper Main Main Quarry Land . The Main flows directly past the southern outskirts. The center of Burgkunstadt is about 3.75 kilometers to the west.

history

Mainklein was probably founded as a Slavic settlement around 800 AD. The village was first mentioned in writing in the Alemanica Franconica deed of April 8, 1251 as "Mouglinde". At that time it was probably just a farm with surrounding huts, which in all probability was on the eastern side of the Häckergrundbach .

For a long time the place was separated by ecclesiastical and secular rule. The knightly estate in the upper village belonged to the von Kunstadt family and then to the von Waldenfels family for a long time, and the church has always belonged to the Mainrother parish. The lower village with the Göhlengut west of the Häckergrundbach was part of the Altenkunstadter parish and belonged to the Langheim monastery from around 1350 . In the Middle Ages and in the early modern period, the Häckergrundbach formed roughly the border between ecclesiastical and aristocratic rule, which was even stronger during the Reformation, as the upper part of Mainklein became Protestant . With the Counter-Reformation at the end of the 16th century, most Protestant citizens returned to the Catholic Church .

On October 10, 1896, the volunteer fire brigade was founded in Mainklein . The centenary took place from July 26th to 29th, 1996.

In 1948, in gratitude for the return of the soldiers from the Second World War , the construction of a chapel began. The donation-financed bell was consecrated two years later. Since the money ran out during the construction phase, the construction project was abandoned and the shell was rededicated as Mainklein's first fire station . The building served this purpose for around 50 years until a new fire station was built in 1995. Since the old building was empty, the population wanted to convert it into a chapel again; on July 6, 2005 the Mainklein Chapel Association was founded. The renovation was completed in early June 2010 and the consecration took place on June 13, 2010.

The table football club Maintalkicker Mainklein was founded on May 11, 1968. The hiking department was founded on September 18, 1981, and in its 20th anniversary year, the association and KC Burgkunstadt hosted the 11th German table football championship in 1988 . The entry in the register of associations took place in January 2003. This marked the change of name to Maintalkicker Mainklein e. V. connected.

On January 1, 1977, the community of Theisau , to which Mainklein belonged, was incorporated into the town of Burgkunstadt.

etymology

The first secure spelling, written down in the Alemanica Franconica of April 8, 1251, was "Mouglinde". The first syllable Moug , which stood for the Main , is probably derived from the Indo-European language root mi , mei , or moi , which means to wander. In Celtic the Main was called "Moinos" and by the Romans "Meunus". The word Main could therefore mean a migratory river.

The other syllables glinde come from Slavic and mean clay. This suggests that the loamy subsoil was something special for the settlers, if not a unique selling point that characterized the settlement. Johann Baptist Müller, Burgkunstadt local history researcher and former head of the Burgkunstadt district group of the Colloquium Historicum Wirsbergense , interpreted the place name Mainklein as a “settlement on loamy soil, located on the Main”.

In the following centuries the spelling changed slightly, from 1317 the spelling "Meungelinden", 1319 "Meinglein" and 1400 "Maynglein" ("near Teyssing", Theisau) is handed down.
