Oberdürrbach is a district of Würzburg (No. 23) in the district of Dürrbachtal . The parish village was an independent municipality until 1976 and was incorporated into the city of Würzburg together with several other places.
Geographical location
Oberdürrbach is located in the north of the Dürrbachtal district, which is the northernmost district of the city. Further north, only the Schafhof district can be found, which, however, is located in the Oberdürrbacher district. The area of the municipality of Rimpar begins in the northeast . In the east lies the Versbach district of Würzburg with the district of the same name. However, it is separated from Oberdürrbach by the 306 m high Kreuzberg. To the southeast, also on an elevation, lies the Rotkreuzhof, which belongs to Unterdürrbach . Unterdürrbach itself can be found further south. Oberdürrbach is also connected to the neighboring town via the Wüs 21 state road . The west is occupied by the buildings of the Balthasar-Neumann-Kaserne, which is located in the district of Veitshöchheim .
Former districts of the municipality of Oberdürrbach:
- Gadheim (1976 to Veitshöchheim)
- Schafhof (1976 to Würzburg)
- Ziegelhütte (1976 to Würzburg)
The landscape of Oberdürrbach is characterized by mountainous surroundings, which for a long time only allowed buildings along the Dürrbach valley. The Dürrbach itself, which flows through the middle of the village, has dried up most of the year and can only be seen after heavy rainfall. It flows from Gadheim / Schafhof in the direction of the Dürrbachau / Main . In terms of its natural surroundings, the former parish village lies in the so-called Würzburg Mainseitentälern (135.0), which belong to the Wern-Lauer-Platten . Shell limestone soils predominate here , which are also suitable for viticulture.
history
The place name is derived from the water Dürrbach that flows through the place. As early as the 8th century, the Würzburg canons owned properties in the valley that was then still called the "Habuchotal". (Upper) Dürrbach was first mentioned in a document in 1160. At that time, the late canon and schoolmaster Gozelin gave his goods in the village to the altar of St. Kilian. Only ten years later, in 1170, under Bishop Herold von Hochheim, the draining of the swamp and the planned settlement of people in the Dürrbachtal began.
The two village parts of Dürrbach were then still in the same district . Only on February 22, 1294 was there explicit mention of Oberdürrbach. In the course of the 13th century, the two village centers were separated from each other. Initially, the Lords of Retzstadt were the most important landlords in Oberdürrbach. However, on December 4, 1484, “Anthonig” von Retzstadt sold the village to Abbot Georg, the head of the Benedictine monastery of St. Stephan from nearby Würzburg. The place was named "Oberndurnbach" in the document.
It was not until 1494 that the sale was confirmed by the Bishop of Würzburg. In the 16th century, Oberdürrbach and the hamlet of Gadheim formed a joint municipality. Both places were pledged to the Würzburg Juliusspital in 1579 . In 1787 the two places appear for the first time as a municipality. On July 1, 1976 Oberdürrbach was incorporated into Würzburg together with the hamlets of Schafhof and Ziegelhütte and lost its centuries of independence.
Culture and sights

Several objects have been preserved in Oberdürrbach that are classified as historical buildings by the Bavarian State Office for the Preservation of Monuments . The center of the community is still today the Catholic parish church of St. Joseph. It was built in its current form in 1816, with the figures of Johann Peter Wagner from the 18th century being placed in the facade. The church presents itself as a hall church with a three-sided closure. The classical facade tower towers over the gabled portal in the west.
In addition, the old courtyard of the Würzburg Juliusspital has been preserved. It was created with a hipped roof and dates back to the 17th century with its drilled window frames. The main building complements the neighboring tithe barn, a wall with an embossed portal surrounds the ensemble. The former rectory in the immediate vicinity is less representative. Like the church, it originated in the 19th century and was created in the arched style.
