history

Foundation of the place and early medieval times

The village was probably founded around 800 AD as a small settlement in a forest clearing by German and Slavic settlers. The settlement was inherited from the Babenbergs and was named as such in the imperial register of the year 800. The next mention was the "Vilikation Mainroth" 950 as an "accessory" of the Kuhnstadt. For the first time in documents Mainroth was mentioned in 1120 in a charter of Bishop I. Otto , the foundation of the settlement Rotha . At that time there were already 30 tenant properties belonging to this settlement. Two years later Otto I bought the village from Konrad von Zähringen for the Bamberg Monastery for the price of 300 pounds of silver and 1 pound of gold. Before that, the place could have belonged to Hermann von Stahleck . Around 1130, a first church with St. Michael as patron should have been built.

A parish in Mainroth was first mentioned in 1308 in the books of the Thurnau palace archives . At that time Otto Förtsch, son of the knight Albrecht Förtsch von Thurnau, was named as pastor . The church was probably a foundation of the cathedral monastery Bamberg and the Sprengel a separation from the original parish of Altenkunstadt .

High Middle Ages and Early Modern Times

On September 14, 1548, the village received permission to build a brewery from the Provost of Bamberg: "The people of Mainrode have to pound and put a Breuhauß on the Gemene, but they should be careful whether they are entitled to praise from age." A small curiosity was that the brewery was in the basement of the brewery and the upper floor was used as a school.

In the course of the Reformation, the then Mainroth pastor Johann Kesner was expelled by Albrecht II Alcibiades in 1552 and the local population had to accept the Protestant creed until 1620 . In the form of Balthasar Ultsch, a Catholic pastor was not reinstated in Mainroth until 1624.

During the Thirty Years' War the church was badly damaged, looted and pillaged. It could only be renovated bit by bit, mainly from 1680, when the destroyed church tower was rebuilt and given a semi-dome, a clock bay and a high lantern. The church got its current appearance in 1744/45 with the extension of the nave.

In the early modern times and in the 20th century there were two breweries in Mainroth. The first was founded in 1750 by master butcher August Vonbrunn and was in operation until 1969; the second, the Heinrich Vonbrunn brewery , brewed from 1910 to 1957. But brewing was a tradition in Mainroth even before 1750. In this context there was also a beer dispute with Weismain from 1669 to 1684. It was largely about the indignation and anger of the Weismainers that the Mainrother were allowed to sell their beer in the entire Niesten office with the permission of the bishop.

20th century to the present

On September 1, 1901, a huge fire broke out in Mainroth, in which eleven barns and three houses were destroyed. The fire raged for over three hours and could not be brought under control by the surrounding fire brigades . Mainroth received electrical light when it was connected to the lines of the Mainecker power station owned by Paul Hilbert in 1912. In 1921, the soccer club 1. FC Mainroth was founded.

  • Mainroth through town (today's federal road 289 in the direction of Kulmbach) from before 1930. At the end of the street you can see the old school and brewery.

During the two world wars , numerous local men had to do their military service and many of them did not return. In their honor, a war memorial was erected in the town center near the church . In both wars, the church bells were melted down and used for war purposes. In April 1945 American forces entered the town. They demanded that the village mountain be blown up, but this could be prevented by the persuasiveness of the then incumbent mayor Georg Vonbrunn.

The village experienced a strong increase in population after the Second World War, so that new settlements emerged in the north and west. At the same time, the Dorfberg was straightened, canalized and the place was connected to the Burgkunstadt sewage treatment plant.

The Musikverein emerged from the Mainrother choral society in 1955. At first this was still part of the choral society, at a meeting on September 4, 1958, the separation was decided. By October 24, 1959, the music association developed into the club with the largest number of members in the community at that time.

On August 24, 1957, a school building for two classes was inaugurated in the neighboring village of Rothwind and the school operations were relocated from the Mainrother brewery there. In 1965 an elementary school was built in Mainroth, the catchment area of ​​which also extended to the former districts of Rothwind, Fassoldshof and Eichberg. The school house in Rothwind was converted into a kindergarten. Today the school belongs to the Burgkunstadt-Mainroth primary school .

After the Mainroth municipal council had already voted 7: 4 for incorporation into Burgkunstadt on August 28, 1975, but the residents of the towns of Rothwind, Fassoldshof and Eichberg, which belong to Mainroth, had opposed it, the incorporation was initially abandoned. In January 1977, Mainroth joined Burgkunstadt, but without the localities that Mainleus joined.
