Geographical location
Moos is located in the southwest of the Geroldshausen municipality. The municipality of Reichenberg in Lower Franconia begins at some distance to the north, and the district of Uengershausen is closest to Moos. Geroldshausen itself rises in the northeast. To the east and south, on the other hand, is the community of Giebelstadt . Further to the southwest and west is Kirchheim , and to the west is the Kirchheim district of Sellenbergerhof .
history
Traces of settlement from the pre-Roman Iron Age, the Hallstatt Age, have already been discovered near Moos . It wasn't until 1133 that moss was first mentioned in a document. The Würzburg bishop Embricho gave the Oberzell monastery a courtyard "for the health of his soul". In 1146, the donation was confirmed by Bishop Siegfried von Truhendingen , and as early as 1143 Embricho had given the monastery a tithe for the Moos estate.
After other goods in Moos had come to the Oberzell monastery over the years, Bishop Johann II von Brunn appointed Peter von Stettenberg as guardian of the monastic possessions in Moos and Ochsenfurt in 1431 . In 1521 the village consisted of a total of eight farms. In the course of the German Peasant War of 1525, the fields around the village were no longer cultivated and the owners had to be warned in 1529.
In the early modern period, the Oberzell monastery appointed bailiffs and was also responsible for the lower jurisdiction. In contrast, the prince-bishop's office in Bütthard ruled on the criminal matters. At times, however, the Wolfskeel von Grumbach men from nearby Albertshausen tried to take over the high jurisdiction: on August 11, 1762, the members of this family proclaimed the tithe in the village. The abbot of Oberzell reported it.
In 1780 a private foundation built a chapel in Moos, and in 1954 a new church was built. Although monks from Oberzell sometimes took care of the residents of Moos, it was always subordinate to the Kirchheim parish. After the monastery was dissolved in the course of secularization , Moos became an independent municipality in the Kingdom of Bavaria . Since May 1, 1978 the village has been part of the Geroldshausen community.
Attractions
The center of the village is still today the small Catholic branch church of St. Nicholas. It was essentially built during the Romanesque period and is therefore one of the older churches in the area. In the course of the Counter Reformation , the typical Julius Echter pointed helmet was put on the church. In 1954 the nave was built. Inside, the rococo altars from the second half of the 18th century still characterize the church.
The monastery courtyard of the Premonstratensians of Oberzell has also been preserved from the 18th century . It was built in 1764 and presents itself as a two-story two-wing building with a mansard hipped roof and baroque structures. It was created according to the plans of the Würzburg court architect Balthasar Neumann . In addition to an 18th century farmhouse, several wayside shrines have been preserved in the hallways of the village.
