history
The place name Pfändhausen goes back to the 8th century. It was then that the Franks began to colonize the region. The name refers to a certain Phention or Phenteo, so that the "Houses of Phention" could be found here. The residents of the surrounding communities also speak colloquially of the dairy farm. The name gives evidence of a large dairy farm in the village, perhaps an important station for the young cattle drive between Bad Neustadt and Schweinfurt was to be found in the village .
The place was first documented in 1307. "Pfentenhusen" was then at a different location, but the village fell into desolation in the 14th century and was rebuilt at its current location. As recently as 1353, Pfandshausen was still a desert area, which the Hennebergers gave as a fief to the Lords of Münster . After the reconstruction, two brothers from the Münster family shared the district among themselves in 1579.
The devastation of the Thirty Years' War also brought great suffering to Pfandshausen. Again the existence of the place was threatened. In 1648 there was only one farm left. It was not until the second half of the 17th century that the village lords succeeded in repopulating the place through the influx of many foreigners. Perhaps the Pfändhauseners even succeeded in ascending to an imperial village on February 8, 1730 , which was directly subordinate to "none other than your Imperial Majesty (...)".
After the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire through secularization and mediatization by Napoleon , the imperial freedom for Pfändhausen ended, as well as for Sennfeld and Gochsheim in the same district. The place came first to the Electoral Palatinate of Bavaria , before it finally came to the Kingdom of Bavaria in 1814 after an interim period in the Grand Duchy of Würzburg . Centuries of independence as a municipality ended with the municipal reform on May 1, 1978, when Pfändhausen became part of the Dittelbrunn municipality.
Attractions
Today two churches can be found in the center of the village. The older church is consecrated to Saint Anthony of Padua and was built in 1770 on the initiative of the village master Johann Philipp von Münster. It is presented in the Rococo style and has no tower. Inside, the carvings are particularly noteworthy. In the 1960s, population growth led to plans for a new church. It is consecrated to the Holy Cross and was built by Hans Döllgast . Inside, regional artists created some works.
There are also several wayside shrines and small monuments around the village . These religious Flurmale are typical of Catholic communities in Franconia and mostly go back to private foundations. In contrast to the surrounding towns, however, only objects from the 19th century have survived in Pfändhausen. Particularly noteworthy is a large wayside cross with the dying Christ. It was built in 1853.
