history
Beginnings
Poppenroth was first mentioned in a document on June 29, 1286.
Poppenroth was founded in the middle of the 13th century by Count Poppo VIII , who wanted to secure the boundaries of his land holdings against the Principality of Fulda and the Bishopric of Würzburg in this way . The name of the place goes back to the count ("Poppenroth" = "clearing of Poppo").
Due to the unclear demarcation, there were often disputes, especially with the Frauenroth monastery .
As the population of Poppenroth increased in the course of the second half of the 19th century , District Judge Friedrich von Luxburg took care of the maintenance of the streets in town.
After Poppenroth was transferred from monastic property to the state of Bavaria, the forest surrounding the place was converted into arable land.
Poppenroth at the beginning of modern times
On December 13, 1793 Poppenroth became an independent parish. This was made possible by the separation from the Stralsbach community , which had made itself unpopular in Poppenroth due to the negligent financing of the clergy and church. The first Poppenroth pastor was Karl Manger. In 1889, the expanded building of the Ortisei Church was inaugurated under Pastor Johannes Pretscher.
In 1912, a fire in Poppenroth destroyed five houses and seven barns; 84 of the town's 435 residents lost their homes. The cause of the fire has not yet been clarified.
Poppenroth at the time of the Weimar Republic
In 1923 Poppenroth got a local water pipe.
On Sunday, May 13, 1934, shortly after 3 p.m. in Poppenroth there was a major fire that destroyed 16 houses and 21 barns, but did not claim any human lives. The day's wind conditions ensured that it spread particularly quickly. The extinguishing work was made more difficult by the fact that many Poppenrother men were outside at the time of the fire and the water supply of the place was not designed for the amount of water required to extinguish the fire. Many residents of Poppenroth were only able to save the most essential belongings.
Farmer Wilhelm Schlereth was then charged with arson. The public prosecutor's office applied for 8 years in prison and the withdrawal of civil rights for a period of 10 years. Wilhelm Schlereth protested his innocence, but was finally sentenced to 4.5 years in prison and the withdrawal of civil rights for five years. The court relied on several suspicious factors such as the findings of the Schweinfurt chemist Dr. Schiller, who discovered traces of fire oil in Schlereth's barn, and the fact that Schlereth was the only one who could have started the fire at the time of the fire. Further clues were various testimonies, especially that of the main witness Michael Antlitz. As he said, Schlereth had announced the fire out of indignation that two neighbors had been housed on one property; In the eyes of the face, a fire is the only possible solution to the problem.
Poppenroth after 1945
During the municipal reform , Poppenroth became a district of Bad Kissingen on July 1, 1972 , after the town unsuccessfully discussed incorporation into Burkardroth . In addition, Poppenroth (like Albertshausen ) preferred incorporation to Bad Kissingen over incorporation to Oberthulba . With financial support from the city center in the form of building measures (e.g. sports field and sports center), club life in Poppenroth flourished. In contrast to Albertshausen, the physical distance to the city center did not have a negative effect on the feeling of belonging to Bad Kissingen. The contact between Albertshausen and Poppenroth intensified, so that, for example, the "St.Johannisverein Poppenroth-Albertshausen" was able to open a kindergarten.
In 1975 Poppenroth lost its status as an independent parish. At first the place was looked after by the Albertshausen pastor Friedrich Zahn (from 1975 to 1986), then - from 1986 to 1991 - by Karl Kempf, the pastor of Waldfenster . The Garitz parish has been responsible for Poppenroth since 1991 (initially under the Garitz pastor Arno Stöcklein; since December 1, 1999 under his successor Edwin Ziegler).
At the beginning of November 2010, Poppenroth and the neighboring municipality of Burkardroth exchanged two areas on the border of the district as part of a restructuring of the districts for the purpose of easier management; the bottom line was that 494 square meters of Poppenroth municipal area went to Burkardroth.
Buildings and plants
St. Ulrich Church
The tower of the St. Ulrich Church in Poppenrother was built in the 13th century and in 1612 was given its current shape as a Julius Echter tower . The original nave from 1717 became the current transept of the church during expansion work in 1889. In 1920 the ceiling of the transept and choir was painted by the Hausener painter Jakob Bissinger ; in the second half of the 20th century the church was renovated.
graveyards
Poppenroth has two cemeteries. The old cemetery on the town's thoroughfare was converted into a park - financially made possible by the regional reform; the new cemetery is on the outskirts of Katzenbach .
Way of the Cross
_%E2%80%93_12th_Station_%E2%80%93_C456.jpg)
Next to the New Cemetery at the exit towards Katzenbach is the Poppenrother Kreuzweg , whose stations, according to the inscriptions on the back of the stations, were created between 1753 and 1756.
The Way of the Cross was originally located on Bad Kissinger Stationsberg , where it was threatened with weathering due to the lack of interest of the Bad Kissinger citizens in Good Friday processions. When the sculptor Valentin Weidner initiated the establishment of a new way of the cross in Bad Kissingen, the old stations were bought by the Poppenroth citizen Katharina Pfrang, known as "Nunnä-Fräla", and brought to Poppenroth on request.
Around the middle of the 19th century, the first two stations of the Poppenrother Kreuzweg were replaced by new stations created by Michael Arnold, possibly due to weathering.
