history

Meilschnitz was first mentioned as Milsnitz in 1317 in the Urbarium , a list of possessions of the Hennebergers when they acquired the New Rulership. The place got its name from the brook of the Alte Meilschnitz. At that time it consisted of nine estates and a mill. According to Hambrecht, Meilschnitz was mentioned in a document in 1149 as "Musincze". In the, the Würzburg Bishop Siegfried von Truhendingen confirmed that the newly founded Mönchröden Monastery had been given the village with all rights by Hermann Sterker , Burgrave of Meißen and his brother, Count Sterker.

When troops were billeted in the Second Margrave War in 1553, 40 guilders were damaged . During the Thirty Years' War , twenty of the fifty inhabitants died of the plague in 1625 . In 1638 there were only four houses left after a fire. In 1672 there were again six houses in which 43 people lived.

The Meilschnitzer school house was inaugurated on May 31, 1877. The village children had previously attended the Wildenheider school. After the roof of the house was re-covered and the tower was repaired in 1952, a break hall and group room were added in 1963. In 1967 the school was affiliated with the Wildenheider School and the second class of the elementary school was housed. In 1983 the school building was closed due to declining student numbers.

In the Reichstag election of March 5, 1933 , the NSDAP in Melschnitz received 117 out of 136 votes. After the Second World War, the location on the inner-German border, just under a kilometer away, shaped the town until 1989 .
