history

Mechenried was first mentioned in the middle of the 12th century when the Bamberg cathedral chapter received goods. A hereditary farm then existed in the village. Another documentary mention followed in 1170. Accordingly, between the years 1089 and 1105, the parish church in Schweinshaupten belonged to the tithe in Mechenried.

In the 14th century, the Flieger family, succeeded by the von Fuchs men , had tithe rights in Mechenried and the von Rotenhan men were enfeoffed with goods from the Würzburg bishop. The monasteries Mariaburghausen and Theres acquired goods. The Augustinian monastery in Königsberg had income in the place from 1454. Mechenried was a Ganerbendorf . The state sovereignty was owned by the Prince-Bishop of Würzburg, the administration was incumbent on the Haßfurt Office. Central jurisdiction was shared by the Würzburg monastery with the Saxons . In 1659 the Bamberg Monastery ceded the rights to the hereditary farm to Würzburg. In 1696 the Würzburg monastery acquired subjects and rights in Mechenried from Sachsen-Hildburghausen .

In 1803 the village mill and the hard mill were incorporated. In 1862, the rural community of Mechenried, consisting of the parish village of Mechenried and the two wastelands Dorfmühle and Hartmühle, was incorporated into the newly created Bavarian district office of Haßfurt . In 1871 the rural community Mechenried had 428 inhabitants, of whom 417 were Catholics, 6 Protestants and 5 Jews, and 90 residential buildings. A Catholic parish and a Catholic denominational school were in the place. In 1900, 394 people lived in 84 residential buildings in the 543 hectare community. In 1925 Mechenried had 80 residential buildings and 382 inhabitants, of which 367 were Catholic and 15 were Protestant. The Protestants belonged to the parish of Holzhausen, 1.5 kilometers away .

In 1950 the church village had 505 residents and 78 residential buildings. In 1961 Mechenried had 456 residents and 83 residential buildings. In 1970 there were 474 and in 1987 432 and 107 residential buildings with 132 apartments.

On July 1, 1972, the district of Haßfurt was dissolved as part of the regional reform and Mechenried came to the Haßbergkreis . On May 1, 1978, the municipality was incorporated into Riedbach.

A fire brigade museum has existed in the old school since 1987.

Jewish community

Jewish families had lived in Mechenried at least since the end of the 17th century . In 1810 and 1816, respectively, the village had a maximum of 34 Jewish inhabitants. In the second half of the 19th century everyone had probably moved away. The Jewish community probably had a prayer room, a classroom and a ritual bath. The dead were buried in the Jewish cemetery in Kleinsteinach.
