history

The first known documentary mention of the place comes from the year 1311.

From a pastoral point of view, Morlesau first belonged to the Fulda parish of Diebach , from 1722 to Wolfsmünster and from 1811 to Windheim . In fact, based on the Karlstadt Treaty , the old town monastery was responsible for pastoral care from 1722 . After 1500, probably in 1520, the St. Cyriakus Church was built in Morlesau .

In 1904 a basalt works was put into operation on a site belonging to the Counts of Thüngen on the Sodenberg below the former Kilianstein Castle . Operations had to be stopped in 1958 due to the risk of falling rocks. The plan of Überlandwerk Unterfranken to set up a pumped storage power plant with water from the Saale in the pit in the 1960s failed because the pit consists of water-permeable tuff .

As part of the municipal reform , Morlesau became a district of Hammelburg on January 1, 1972.
