history

Local history

Beginnings

The first known mention of the place comes from November 1234 as part of a sale of goods near Oberthulba to the Würzburg Bishop Hermann I von Lobdeburg by Gotfried von Reichenbach and his wife Mechtildis, née von Henneberg . In the period before this mention, the name "Thulba" can be found in several documents, although it is not always certain whether it is about the place or the river Thulba , which gave its name to Oberthulba and Unterthulba, the name for the monastery Thulba , godfather.

Oberthulba at the beginning of modern times

In 1571 Oberthulba , which belonged to the parish of Euerdorf, became an independent parish, but had to pay a third of the "Getraidt tithe" to Euerdorf until the secularization in 1803. Under the Würzburg prince-bishop Julius Echter von Mespelbrunn , Oberthulba was part of the Zent Aura-Trimberg, which was created around 1570 through the merging of the Zenten Aura and Trimberg . Spiritual jurisdiction was exercised by the prince-bishop and the right to legislate parishes was exercised by the cathedral chapter. Within the framework of the jurisdiction, two court judges (simple farmers) and 14 inheritance judges were designated for Oberthulba. Together with Euerdorf and Elfershausen, Oberthulba had to “follow and travel” to the prince-bishop and, in the event of war, equipment, etc. a. War chariots and horses to provide. The taxes were 41 guilders per year.

Bavarian Kingdom

The former office of the Hochstift Würzburg was left to Archduke Ferdinand of Tuscany after secularization in 1803 in favor of Bavaria in 1805 to form the Grand Duchy of Würzburg and with this in 1814 it finally fell to Bavaria.

Jewish community until 1938

There was a Jewish community in Oberthulba since the 18th century. In 1871 the local community had 64 Jewish residents; In 1933 there were still 44 Jewish people living in Oberthulba. During the time of National Socialism, the Jewish families were hard pressed and robbed of their professional and economic existence.

On November 10, 1938, came in Oberthulba during the November pogroms late to violent actions by the SA storm Hammelburg, which penetrated inhabited by Jewish houses and vandalierte. A fire was set in the synagogue and the interior was destroyed. The Jewish men were then driven onto a truck and taken to the Hammelburg local court prison. 16 Jews emigrated abroad after these dire events. Four Jewish families stayed on site until 1942. They were deported and victims of the Holocaust .

According to the memorial book of the Federal Archives Berlin, 22 Jewish residents of Oberthulba were murdered in the Holocaust: Berta Adler (* 1893); Justin Adler (born 1924); Karl Adler (* 1891); Regina Berney, b. Ship (* 1878); Ida Bravmann, b. Löbenfried (* 1890); Adolf Distelburger (* 1887); Ernestina Goldner, b. Jakob (* 1872); Betty Rothschild, b. Löbenfried (* 1903); Milton Rothschild (* 1932); Siegfried Rothschild (* 1894); Adolf Schiff (* 1888); Benno Schiff (* 1894); Felix Schiff (* 1893); Käthe Schiff (* 1930); Karoline Schiff, b. Goldner (* 1899); Martha Schiff (* 1926); Moritz Schiff (* 1896); Wolf Schiff (* 1874); Jettchen Stark, b. Ship (* 1887); Helene Sterzelbach (* 1886); Frieda Vogel, b. Ship (* 1885); Sophie Vogel, b. Ship (* 1882).

Oberthulba after 1945

The land consolidation was carried out in Oberthulba with the application of the farmers and the municipal council on March 3, 1967 . This became necessary because the construction of the Rhön motorway and the state road St 2291 required a reorganization of the property areas; In addition, the use of arable land should also become more profitable with the increasing use of agricultural machinery. The eight-member board elected in May 1967 to lead the land consolidation drew up a plan for the implementation of the procedure in 1968 and 1969. Under the direction of the Land Consolidation Office, the first road construction measures were initiated as early as 1969, most of which were completed by 1973. At the same time, the economic office led the expansion of drainage ditches as well as repair measures on watercourses and drainage work. Starting in 1974, the landscape was shaped by the creation and care of plantings.

In 1971 and 1972, the marking work for the new road and water network took place; In the spring of 1973, the area affected by the land consolidation was surveyed for the purpose of redistributing the land. In 1972, external experts estimated the value of the land in question. From May to June 1975, for the purpose of real estate redistribution, the owners concerned were asked about their wishes, so that the new property boundaries could be marked from September to October of that year; the provisional determination of the property assignments took place on December 1, 1975. After the land consolidation plan was announced in the following year, there were only five objections that had to be resolved by the land consolidation directorate. In the period after the land consolidation, the gravel roads were paved with bitumen and new paths were laid on the newly created property areas. Some wet spots had to be drained; some properties had to be fenced in.

After processing the contradictions, the implementation of the land consolidation plan was ordered on November 1, 1977, and an update of the land registers was requested in 1979. After the settlement with the parties involved and the cadastral documents had been prepared, the land consolidation procedure was ended in 1983. The land consolidation resulted in 5.8 kilometers of bitumen paths and 12.4 kilometers of gravel paths as well as 43 kilometers of lightly paved or unpaved channels . In addition, four kilometers of drainage ditches were built. Drainage measures were carried out on an area of ​​seven hectares . In addition to the areas for the Fulda – Würzburg motorway and the state roads 2290 and 2291, 16 hectares of industrial and commercial areas and 14 hectares of living space were developed.

The total costs were DM 2,151,000. Of this amount, DM 1,562,000 was used for road construction, DM 280,000 for hydraulic engineering, DM 84,000 for soil improvement, DM 20,000 for planting measures and DM 205,000 for land regulation. The costs were covered by grants from the federal and state governments as well as from the European Orientation and Guarantee Fund for Agriculture and a participation of the Oberthulba market, so that those involved only had to spend a total of 270,000 DM. On October 14, 1983, a memorial stone was blessed in the Am Schieferstein corridor section .

With the opening of the last section of the A 7 on July 30, 1968, the Oberthulba autobahn maintenance facility , which had been built after a construction period of one and a half years, began operations. Initially, she was responsible for the motorway section between the Bavarian-Hessian border at its northern end and the Schweinfurt / Niederwerrn junction at the southern end. This section, originally 45 kilometers long, was extended to the south to the Schweinfurt / Werneck junction to 52.9 kilometers. The tasks of the motorway maintenance department include ensuring traffic safety, winter service, street cleaning, maintaining the green areas and their planting, maintaining road accessories and emergency services. In addition, the motorway maintenance department takes care of the maintenance of the motorway bridges ( Grenzwaldbrücke , Römershagbrücke , Sinnbrücke , Thulbabrücke , bridge over the Franconian Saale , Bundesbahnbrücke Klöffelsbergbrücke ).

societies

Oberthulba volunteer fire brigade

According to the oldest evidence, an unorganized preliminary form of today's Oberthulba fire brigade already existed around 1820. It consisted of council members who, if the time allowed after the meetings, held fire brigade exercises.

The official establishment of today's Oberthulba Volunteer Fire Brigade took place on the initiative of the main teacher Franz Karl Katzenberger on February 17, 1871; it consisted of 70 founding members. The first equipment and uniforms were purchased by 1873. In that year, the pressure syringe manufactured in 1809 was supplemented with a suction and pressure syringe.

As part of the 25th anniversary on June 18, 1897, a standard was donated. A flag was purchased on July 22, 1906. The acquisition of an engine fire extinguisher was followed by the acquisition of a motorized sprayer in 1949.

After the fire brigade held its first district fire brigade day on June 10, 1956, a highlight in the association's history followed with the 90-year foundation festival held from July 13th to 14th with a two-year delay.

With the acquisition of a portable pump TS 8/8 with trailer and corresponding equipment on April 15, 1967, the volunteer fire brigade modernized its equipment. This was supplemented by a fire truck with a new portable fire pump as part of the 100-year foundation festival in 1971. An extinguishing water cistern for the fire brigade was set up in 1978 at the new children's playground next to the Raiffeisenbank. For the 110th anniversary in 1981, the fire brigade received a new LF 8 fire engine with front-end protection and heavy breathing protection.

The annual carnival ball was held until 1979, and from 1968 the fire brigade outing was also held annually. The social program used to include camaraderie evenings and now hut celebrations.

Warrior and Soldier Association Oberthulba

In 1881 the association was founded under the name of Veterans and Warriors and was based on the motto Our comradeship serves peace . After the association's activities came to a standstill in the Third Reich , it resumed it in 1957 as a warrior and comrade-in-arms association . In 1971 the name was changed to the Oberthulba Warriors and Soldiers Association . In 1999, the Oberthulba Warriors and Soldiers Association was dissolved and the remaining members were taken over by the Oberthulba Reservist Association, which was founded in 1982 .

Reservist fellowship Oberthulba

The Oberthulba reservist comradeship was founded on July 2, 1982. Since the comradeship was not initially able to present a complete board of directors according to the guidelines of the reservist association , it was legally subordinated to the Oberthulba Warrior and Soldier Association. On November 9, 1982, a full board was elected for the first time. So she became independent. Gotthard Schlereth was elected first chairman. He held the office for 18 years until he was elected First Mayor of Oberthulba in 2000. With the dissolution of the reservist comradeship Hetzlos, the members of the RK Oberthulba were assigned. Thus the Oberthulba reservist comradeship currently has 125 members. The last member of the former warrior and soldier association died on February 20, 2017.

Refugee Associations

After the Second World War , the increasing influx of expellees led to the establishment of two local associations for expellees.

In 1948 a local association of the Association of Expellees was established in Oberthulba ; it was later given the name of the Association of Expelled Germans .

On September 1, the local association of the Sudeten German Landsmannschaft (SL) was founded. Since an organizational reform in 1984, this local group has belonged to the Hammelburg district group.

Gesangverein Sängerlust Oberthulba

According to the records in the parish chronicle, the church services on Sundays and public holidays were given music by a church choir and a church orchestra as early as 1727, long before the singing society Sängerlust Oberthulba was founded. Around 1896 there was a Harmonieverein Oberthulba .

On November 25, 1922, the Singing Society, Sängerlust Oberthulba, was founded with 34 founding members. In the early years, the association was able to achieve success through musical events in the area and by participating in singing competitions. At the time of National Socialism , the self-determined social life came through DC circuit to a standstill; there were marching songs on the program. In 1950 there was a new beginning with the election of the new board. In 1954, the club began again to take part in singing events and competitions. In 1958, the association's flag was consecrated at the first singing festival in Oberthulba. Significant events in the association's history were the takeover of the function as the local church choir in 1960 and the 50th anniversary of the association in 1972. 56 choir associations from near and far took part in the celebrations for the 60th anniversary in 1982.

Medical column Bavarian Red Cross Oberthulba

The Oberthulbaer Gruppe of the Bavarian Red Cross was founded on October 20, 1927. The column house was built on property at number 122 (today's Kirchgasse 1) and inaugurated on October 9, 1932.

After the Second World War , the work of the Red Cross group was revitalized by a first aid course in the winter of 1954/55 and a reorganization of the medical train. On July 15 and 16, 1967, the 40th anniversary of the Red Cross Group was celebrated. In 1972 the medical train was converted into a medical column and the Red Cross group was housed in the renovated former synagogue. The Red Cross group organizes first aid courses and collects clothes and waste paper, as well as organizing blood donation campaigns several times a year.

The TSV Oberthulba was founded on January 31, 1949 in the Gasthaus Zum Grünen Kranz by 74 founding members. The club name Turn- und Sportverein Oberthulba should reflect the fact that other sports were offered in addition to football. In 1967 the association was entered in the association register.

In 1970, the football department and the bowling department of the club were supplemented with a women's gymnastics group. In the same year, the new construction of the sports field on Waldstrasse began. It was completed the following year. In 1973 a floodlight system was set up, the masts of which were replaced in 1982.

In 1975 a tennis department was set up, which initially practiced its sport on the school association's all-weather court and, from 1980, on the new tennis facility with three courts.

It is unclear when the youth group came into being, but it was in any case active between 1958 and 1960. She joined the Association of the Catholic Rural Youth Movement in Germany (KJLB) and is thus also a member of the Federation of German Catholic Youth (BDK).

The purchase of a flag, the KLJB banner, took place in May 1962. At the beginning of the 1960s, the youth group organized dance events and colorful evenings in the Gasthaus Grüner Kranz . A little later, the organization of the first district harvest festival in Oberthulba was a highlight in the group's history.

In 1975/76 the top floor of the St. Josef Heim became the group's new meeting point. Numerous youth dance events took place in the parish hall there. Every year during the Whitsun and summer holidays, tent camps are organized, initially by the Oberthulba youth group and later by the KLJB district association.

Since the mid-1970s, the youth group has been involved in the harvest thanksgiving campaign Minibrot for Maxinot for the benefit of the mission station of Sister Maria Bextermöller and Father Anton Täuber in Amadi ( Democratic Republic of the Congo ).
