Prichsenstadt is the capital of the city of Prichsenstadt in the Lower Franconian district of Kitzingen in Bavaria . Today, as the largest and most populous district, it forms the center of the political community of Prichsenstadt. The former village rose to become a city in the 15th century thanks to the support of Emperor Charles IV. In the 19th century, the place did not grow as fast as the surrounding administrative centers and largely lost its centrality .

That is why the old town of Prichsenstadt has been completely preserved. In contrast to many other places in the Steigerwald foreland, the city center was not rebuilt. Even the former moats around the fortified city center, which are fed by several lakes, have been preserved. Prichsenstadt was therefore able to develop into a cultural tourism destination. The old town also earned Prichsenstadt the title “Lower Franconian Rothenburg ”.

Geographically is in Prichsenstadt Steigerwald foreshore to find that mediates between the flatter valley and the ascent to Steigerwaldtrauf. In contrast to further west along the Main, viticulture only plays an economically subordinate role for the city, albeit a culturally important one. In addition to tourism, agriculture continues to be an important economic factor, whereby the cultivation of the special crop asparagus is still important in the region.

Geographical location

Geography and natural location

Prichsenstadt is located in the extreme south-south-west of the political municipality. In the north you can find Neuses am Sand some distance away . The district of Altenschönbach begins in the northeast , the Lochmühle is closest to Prichsenstadt. The west is taken by the district of Kirchschönbach . Further to the south-west is Geesdorf , which already belongs to the Wiesentheid community . Wiesentheid itself can be found in the south. Laub rises in the east , which in turn belongs to Prichsenstadt.

Closest, larger cities are Gerolzhofen , with a distance of about 9 kilometers and Volkach , which is about 10 kilometers away. The next big city is Würzburg, 30 kilometers away .

In terms of natural space, Prichsenstadt lies in the Steigerwald foreland of Neuses , which is counted as a sub-unit of the Steigerwald foreland of the Main Franconian Plates . The landscape is already hilly than in the Main Valley and slowly rises towards the Steigerwald .

The Prichsenstadt district is traversed by several small streams . The most important body of water is the Altbach , which flows north of the old town. It also feeds the grave lakes around the Breite See, which can also be found in the north of the built-up area. The Beibach forms the counterpart in the south. It also flows through the so-called Fuckersee, southeast of the old town and flows into the Altbach near Prichsenstadt. The Dienstbach can be found in the east, which rises at Galgensee and also feeds the Altbach. In the extreme northeast of the district, the Schönbach and the Marbach, which unite at Lake Molkenbrunnen, also flow.

Local division

The medieval old town of Prichsenstadt is still today the administrative center for the city and municipality. It is lined up along Luitpoldstrasse and Schulinstrasse, which were formerly built as a street market . Two gates framed the city in the west and east, next to it the so-called city tower formed an inner structure. The cemetery was relocated after the Reformation and is located in front of the city fortifications in the west.

The first buildings outside of the fortifications were built around the cemetery. Finally, the city also got a train station on the Kitzingen- (Gerolzhofen) -Schweinfurt railway line . The line has now been closed and de-dedicated, the name Bahnhofstrasse has been retained. The Bahnhofstrasse, however, formed the backbone for the first Prichsenstadt settlement in the west of the old city. The streets in this area were named after famous people from the history of the city.

In the southwest of the old city, west of the old railway line, newer residential areas were built around the street Am Galgensee. The first industrial area developed in the northwest on Lauber Strasse. Only the school building for the primary school in the south and the Catholic branch church St. Thekla and St. Lioba in the north were built around the old town . A large sports field is located south of the cemetery. The industrial area on Kirchschönbacher Strasse, some distance away, was not created until the 21st century.

Several courtyards and mills have been preserved in the Prichsenstadt district. Three of them, all located on the Altbach, are still registered today as districts of the Prichsenstadt community. These are (from west to east) the Schnaudersmühle in the immediate vicinity of the former railway line, the Wiesenmühle north of Gustav-Adolf-Straße and the Lohmühle on Kirchschönbacher Straße. Two more named Aussiedlerhöfe probably emerged later. It is about the Zehntwiesenhof between Stadelschwarzach and the city center and the Hof an der Michelheide, which can be found on the municipal border with Wiesentheid.

history

Prehistory and early history

The area around Prichsenstadt shows only a few underground remains of prehistoric and early historical epochs. This is also due to the fact that hardly any archaeological excavations have been carried out here. Clear allocations can only be made for the area of ​​the former Kleinschönbach settlement, which has now risen up as a total urban devastation within the city limits.

As the predecessor settlement of the medieval Kleinschönbach, there was a Mesolithic open-air station on the area. This proves that the Mesolithic people hunted in the forests around the later Prichsenstadt and left their traces. In the Neolithic, the open-air station was expanded to become a real settlement, so it can be assumed that people lived here permanently, at least temporarily.

Other prehistoric and early historical places around the city cannot be identified exactly. A burial place of the past was made around the later Galgensee without being able to determine the period of its use more precisely. Similar to the Main Valley, there were also Celtic tribes in the Steigerwald foreland around Prichsenstadt in the course of the 7th century BC . They were replaced by Germanic associations in the 2nd century AD .

These Germanic parts of the population had to give way to the Franks in the 6th and 7th centuries . With the Frankish colonists, a state development, supported by a small upper class of king and nobility, began. The Franks brought the first administrative structures, Christianity and the vine to the area around Prichsenstadt. The later settlement was located in Volkfeld , which was named after the Volkachbach and had its headquarters in Vogelsburg , about ten kilometers away .

Early and High Middle Ages

A settlement could have arisen at the current location as early as the 8th or 9th century. At that time the Franks began to systematically expand and settle the land they had opened up. They often gave the newly emerging settlements the suffix -dorf. Before the city elevation, Prichsenstadt was called Briesendorf. A folk tale goes into the fact that the settlement developed from a sheep farm, the so-called Briesenhof. However, this story cannot be supported by sources .

Briesendorf was first mentioned in a document in 1258. The Counts of Castell had been able to acquire larger property that had previously been in the hands of the emperor or established lords such as the prince-bishop of Würzburg. The counts established a chamberlain in their new estate , and his family soon became ministerials of the counts. The local nobility "von Briesendorf" soon disappeared. With the division of rule in 1265/1267 Briesendorf came to the line of the Lower Castle.

At the end of the 13th century, the counts got into financial difficulties and had to pledge or sell large parts of their properties. Other noble families drew profit from this. Briesendorf had come to the Fuchs von Dornheim without knowledge of the sources , who supported their settlement considerably. In 1353 they saw to it that the Briesendorf church was separated from the mother church in Stadelschwarzach and provided the church with plenty of equipment .

Late Middle Ages: ascent to the city

The most significant turning point in the history of the settlement did not come until 1366, however. At that time, the Roman-German Emperor Charles IV bought the village for 6500 Hellern with all affiliations. Charles's plan was to create a connection between his possessions in what is now Luxembourg and Bohemia . Since he did not have a large household power here, he had to build up one by acquiring individual places. Briesendorf was within reach of the important escort road from Frankfurt to Nuremberg and also on the way to Schweinfurt.

The fortified castle on the edge of the settlement was more important for the acquisition because Karl had to be able to quickly move troop contingents between Bohemia and the Rhine for his policy. At the same time, Charles IV sought a certain degree of self-sufficiency for his new acquisitions, which could only be secured by the economic power of a city with market rights . On January 6, 1367, Prichsenstadt was granted city rights .

The city charter from January 6, 1367

The respective king of Bohemia became city lord, meanwhile the rule had passed to Charles's son Wenceslaus . At the same time, the king exercised high and low jurisdiction in his city. The model for the organization of the city in the interior was the town charter of Sulzbach , which was only extended by the Prichsenstadtern. With the town charter, the citizens were given the right to fortify their community and, in order to finance the military buildings, also the possibility of holding markets within their walls.

Prichsenstadt also became the seat of an office that moved into the former castellische castle. However, the young city did not manage to catch up economically with the already established centers of Gerolzhofen , Iphofen , Stadtschwarzach and Volkach . Therefore, in 1381 Prichsenstadt tried to get a new privilege issued by King Wenceslaus. So she obtained the customs law, which was extended to surrounding towns. All traders who crossed this area had to sell their goods in Prichsenstadt.

The city was finally established, but the Bohemian kings lost control over their creatures. Wenzel got into financial difficulties and had to pledge the city to the burgraves of Nuremberg . A short interim period followed under the rule of King Rupprecht of the Palatinate . In 1411, Erkinger von Seinsheim briefly owned the town, which was soon pledged to Otto von Vestenberg by the burgraves . It was not until 1416 that the burgraves were finally able to take possession of Prichsenstadt, a pledge redemption of the crown of Bohemia had previously failed.

The burgraves of Nuremberg, who later became the margraves of Brandenburg-Kulmbach, continued to promote their property. The margravial possessions led to a conflict with the prince-bishop of Würzburg , who in 1461 began to use warlike means against the margravate. On October 29, 1461, troops of the prince-bishop surrounded the city of Prichsenstadt. However, this first siege failed. When the soldiers returned with reinforcements in July 1462, Prichsenstadt was captured and destroyed.

In the following years Prichsenstadt was rebuilt. The citizens were reinforced by the inhabitants of the village of Kleinschönbach , which had been completely destroyed during the second siege. They settled in the suburb of Prichsenstadt and subsequently formed an independent community within the settlement with its own mayor . The Kleinschönbacher were subordinate to the high jurisdiction of the prince-bishop's center Stadtschwarzach.

Early modern age

In the centuries that followed, Prichsenstadt, located on the border between two competing rulers, was repeatedly exposed to military raids and conquests. In the German Peasants' War the Prichsenstadt farmers joined the rebellious farmers and conquered the fortifications on the Zabelstein . However, after the uprising was put down, the residents of the city were not prosecuted by the margrave because they had resisted the farmers for a long time.

On the other hand, the acceptance of the Reformation in the city was of far-reaching significance . Prichsenstadt, which in the meantime had passed to the Margraves of Brandenburg-Ansbach , accepted the new apprenticeship in 1528, like his masters. With the ratification of the Lutheran church order in 1533, the Reformation was completed. For Prichsenstadt, the adoption of the new teaching also brought economic advantages. The now Catholic places in the surrounding area drove away the Protestants living here . Especially people from Gerolzhofen settled in Prichsenstadt.

The Thirty Years' War , which had also started as a religious conflict, raged around Prichsenstadt from 1631 onwards. The Swedes, allied with the margravate, often marched through the city and quartered troops. In 1632 the vengeance of the Catholic imperial family followed. They looted Prichsenstadt on August 3rd and destroyed the office building and 14 other buildings. At times only the Kastner , two council members and the town clerk lived within the walls. Only after 1643 did the situation return to normal.

After the long war, work began on rebuilding the city, whereby new settlers had to be won over first. In 1646 only 61 of the former 110 stoves were still inhabited. At the same time Prichsenstadt lost influence on the surrounding area. The margravial bailiff had not been in the city since the Reformation ; after the end of the Thirty Years' War, Prichsenstadt was added to the Uffenheim department . However, the industry recovered and flourished in the 18th century.

Another turning point came with the Seven Years' War , in which Prichsenstadt again had to cope with many billeting. Much more difficult, however, was the handover of the margravates to Prussia in December 1791. The Prussians carried out an administrative reform, with which Prichsenstadt continued to lose its former primacy. The revolutionary wars at the turn of the 19th century brought new billets and passages.

Modern times: In Bavaria

After Napoleon Bonaparte had added the areas on the left bank of the Rhine that belonged to Bavaria to his new empire in 1802, he had to compensate the allies of Bavaria somehow. He succeeded in doing this by secularizing the spiritual territories that had existed since the Middle Ages in 1803 and integrating them into Electoral Palatinate Bavaria. The actually margravial Prichsenstadt came to Bavaria on June 30, 1803 together with Kleinlangheim, Haidt and Stephansberg.

In the period that followed, the events of the Napoleonic Wars affected the small town. In 1805, Bavarian troops were in the quarter in Prichsenstadt. French and Baden troops also marched through . In 1810 the city was reassigned to a different rule and from then on was part of the Grand Duchy of Würzburg for a few years . Only after the defeat of Napoleon and the Congress of Vienna did Prichsenstadt finally come to Bavaria, which had in the meantime become a kingdom .

Now the decline of the former official city began, which had previously stood out from the surrounding area. The establishment of its own judicial office was refused, and in 1815 the city also lost the camera office . With the municipal code of October 1, 1818 Prichsenstadt became town III. Class in the district court Gerolzhofen. Later the city came to Wiesentheid , before Gerolzhofen was again responsible for the Prichsenstadter from 1862.

The former synagogue near the Freihof

Until now the city had lived from trade and petty bourgeois trades within its walls. However, the population shrank in the course of the 19th century and Prichsenstadt was soon again completely dependent on agriculture. Attempts were also made to counteract the decline with the connection to the railroad. On November 17, 1893 Prichsenstadt received its own train station on the branch line Kitzingen-Gerolzhofen. The facility was also supported by Prince Luitpold of Bavaria , who stayed in Prichsenstadt for a few days in 1878.

In 1908, Prichsenstadt was the first municipality in the Gerolzhofen district to build an electricity plant . At the transition to the 20th century, the denominational composition of the residents became more diverse and the city grew out of its fortifications with the construction of the Catholic Church in the north of the old town. The Jewish community , which had had its own school since 1787, was able to build its own synagogue near the Freihof in 1912 .

At the time of the National Socialist seizure of power in 1933, around 60 people of Jewish faith were still living in Prichsenstadt. There was repression against the Jews as early as 1934, and the first arrests were made. During the November pogroms in 1938 , SS men broke into the synagogue and destroyed the facility. On April 20, 1942, seven people received the information that they should be "evacuated". The deportation to concentration and extermination camps escaped none of Prichsenstadter Jews.

The city of Prichsenstadt itself was a target of American air raids in the last days of the war . Seven houses and several barns in the city were destroyed. Among other things, the hospital in the west of the city fell victim to the bombing. A total of 29 citizens of the city died on the battlefields in Europe. Twelve men were missing. A large war memorial was dedicated to the fallen Wehrmacht soldiers at the cemetery. Since 2016, several stumbling blocks have been remembering the deceased Jewish fellow citizens.

After the Second World War, Prichsenstadt grew due to the arrival of many refugees and expellees . In the 1970s, land consolidation was pushed in order to merge the small areas of agriculture that had become unprofitable. At the same time, viticulture also experienced a revival. In the post-war period, the tourist development of the old town began. At the same time, smaller industrial areas also emerged.

Place name

The place name Prichsenstadt reflects the historical development of the place. The ending -stadt refers to the elevation of the former village to a settlement under urban law. However, the original name "Briesendorf", mentioned for the first time in 1258, can provide information about the establishment of the settlement. The fashion ending - village was mainly used during the Carolingian- Franconian development of the area in the 8th and 9th centuries. The suffix originally stood generally for human settlement.

The appearance of the prefix Briesen- or Prichsen- is much more complicated to derive. The literature suspects that a Frankish nobleman named Briso organized the planned settlement or was in charge of the young village in the early days. In older works, the connection with the word "brisen" is made, which means something like to constrict or encompass. After that, the older village would have been surrounded by a forest or several lakes. The settlement got its current name over the centuries.

The residents of the city are also given so-called nicknames by the people in the area . The name Krenfechser (or Mainfränkisch Krääfachsər) appears again and again. It refers to the cultivation of horseradish in the vicinity of the municipality. The names Faselein (or Fasäli) also have an agricultural background. The fact that beans are grown around Prichsenstadt is alluded to here .

Administration and courts

The following administrative units were superordinate to the city of Prichsenstadt.

Prichsenstadt was judicially subject to the following instances.

coat of arms

DEU Prichsenstadt COA.svg
 Blazon : “Split between blue and red; in front a silver tower with a broad silver roof, behind a double-tailed, silver-crowned and silver-armored silver lion, who places the front paws on the tower. "
Justification of the coat of arms: The representation of the tower and the lion appears in the earliest known seals, which were used in the 14th century. The lion is probably the bohemian one, the tower stands for city rights. The city received city rights in 1367 from the King of Bohemia. The coat of arms remained unchanged until 1818, the lion was removed in 1818. On May 21, 1837, however, the old coat of arms was re-adopted after a decree by King Ludwig I of Bavaria . According to Bauer, however, the red tinging refers to the entire coat of arms, the color blue only appears on the roof of the tower.

politics

From the city to the capital

The expansion to the city was also accompanied by an "administrative reform", which gave the Prichsenstadt citizens more rights. On April 1, 1433, they were given the right to elect a city ​​council annually , which was responsible for the community and citizenship on behalf of the city lords. This differentiated the city from its rural surroundings, which, with the mayor , which was determined by the respective authorities , had a representative of the lord over it.

Since the 16th century, there was also a royal, later margrave bailiff in Prichsenstadt, who also performed sovereign duties for the city lord. In addition, there was the office of the Kastner , who collected the government taxes and also participated in the city administration. Further, municipal offices were taken over by the Büttel or city servant and the city clerk, who was also the clerk and court clerk.

As a result of the rise to citizenship at the beginning of the 19th century, Prichsenstadt's residents received rights and obligations and were no longer subject to the respective rule. With the municipal code of 1818, the city administration was reorganized. From then on, the city was headed by a mayor , six municipal councilors and 18 municipal representatives. After the Second World War, the party affiliation of the respective mayoral candidates became more important. The Prichsenstadt town hall now also administers the affairs of the districts.

Population development

The inhabitants of the city of Prichsenstadt were first recorded by chance in the 16th century. At that time, however, only the male heads of household and widows were counted, so that one has to rely on projections. With around 1200 inhabitants, Prichsenstadt had roughly the same number of people as the other towns in the Steigerwald foreland. The city was a real center and grew, which was particularly evident from the peak of 1360 people in 1790.

With the transition to Bavaria and the relocation of the central local institutions to the neighboring towns, the city began to decline for a long time. As early as 1830, only 1018 people lived in the city, by 1880 the number had dropped to 770. In 1900 it reached a low with only 701 inhabitants. Only with the growing number of refugees after the Second World War did the population increase again on a larger scale. The numbers continued to rise due to the designation of new residential areas. Today about 950 people live in Prichsenstadt.

Culture and sights

Architectural monuments

Old town ensemble

The Prichsenstadt ensemble encompasses the walled old town including the pond belt on the north and south sides, which was part of the city fortifications and is connected by a deep moat on the western flank of the city. A fortified market was laid out east of the existing village. The village, which had sunk to a suburb, was included in the walling in the course of the 15th century. As a result, the town is divided into two halves, the dividing line of which is clearly visible and manifested in the gate tower that divides the main street in the middle.

The long, rectangular ground plan of the town is supported by the main street, which used to run from gate to gate in the longitudinal axis, from west to east . It is broad and reveals its quality as a market street. In the eastern half of the city it is slightly curved, gradually widens to the west and forms a small square in front of the inner gate tower ; here is the town hall, set back from the row of houses.

Sixtus Church

The parish church of St. Sixtus

The Evangelical Lutheran parish church of St. Sixtus is still one of the focal points in the old town. It is located on Kirchgasse in the north of Karlsplatz. The church was built as early as the 14th century and was expanded into a parish church in the course of the town's elevation. In the course of the adoption of the Reformation , the church was redesigned so that a simple hall church was created. The current bell tower comes from the 18th century.

Today the church presents itself as a simple hall building with a polygonal choir . The west tower, which originally stood as a campanile next to the church, is of particular importance . As the highest point in the city, it was also a lookout tower and thus part of the military fortifications for a long time. The Evangelical Church can largely be assigned to the baroque . However, remnants of the previous Gothic building have been preserved in the choir with its arched windows.

Inside the Sixtuskirche, the Protestant design claim becomes clear. The decor is simpler than that of a comparable Catholic church and was mainly inspired by the so-called margrave style. The arrangement of the altar and organ on top of each other is particularly typical. The most important pieces come from the time after the Thirty Years War. The Renaissance - pulpit , however, came in the year 1620 in the house of God.

St. Thekla and St. Lioba

The small Catholic branch church on the edge of the old town was consecrated to Saints Thekla von Ikonium and Lioba von Tauberbischofsheim . Due to the growth of the city in the first half of the 20th century, Catholics settled in Prichsenstadt again. The need to build a separate church for the small community was quickly recognized and the so-called Herrgottssteige in the northeast of the old town was chosen.

On July 7, 1929, the church was consecrated by the Würzburg bishop Matthias Ehrenfried . The church of St. Thekla and St. Lioba presents itself as a simple hall structure. A roof turret adorns the building on the southwest side . The interior furnishings mostly come from the time of construction and were created by local artists. The high altar was created by Josef Gerngras from Würzburg in 1929. The church saints were referred to with reliefs .

town hall

The city ​​hall is set back a little on Karlsplatz. It was created in its current form after the destruction of the Thirty Years War and was inaugurated in 1682. However, even before the war, the community owned a representative building in which the council meetings were held. In the 20th century the building was expanded to meet the new administrative tasks of a large community.

The house presents itself as a simple half-timbered building , which only stands out from the neighboring number of similar buildings because of its three storeys. The town hall originally included a sales hall on its ground floor, the existence of which can be traced through the two arches that are still visible today . The conference room on the second floor was decorated with interior frameworks. Several valuable paintings, especially portraits of the office, can be found in the premises.

Freihof

The so-called Freihof in the street of the same name in the north of the old town can be considered an important secular building in the city. It is also the last structural remnant of the former castle and was used for centuries as a building yard for the castle complex. The Freihof was mentioned in historical sources for the first time in 1258 and is considered the original cell of the settlement, the former Briesendorf. In the 17th century the court was the site of several knights' convents. In the 19th century the Freihof was sold to private individuals.

Today the Freihof presents itself as a building from the Renaissance. The basic forms were created in 1592. The courtyard was built on the eaves and ends with a gable roof , the facades being designed with a stepped gable . It is two-story and has ornamental frameworks on the upper floor. The portal design of the former building yard is particularly striking. The embossed portal is surmounted by a coat of arms of the Margraves of Ansbach.

City fortifications

The suburban gate or Upper Gate

The Prichsenstadt city ​​fortifications have largely been preserved today. As a special feature, the fortification formed two rings that separated the inner city from the former "suburb". Both rings were created in the 15th century when Prichsenstadt was able to acquire city rights. After the destruction during the siege of 1492, the fortifications were rebuilt. The lakes in the north of Prichsenstadt fed the city's trenches, which had also been built as defensive areas.

Two elements of the fortification, besides the defensive function, also have a representative character. These are the so-called upper or suburban gate and the city tower at the transition to the city center. The Lower Gate, which formed the end of the city to the north (at the level of the Catholic Church), burned down in 1837. The Upper Gate with its two stone-sighted round towers and pointed helmets is a popular photo opportunity today and has become a landmark of the city.

The basic shape of the city tower dates from the 15th century and can therefore be attributed to the first fortification. It is plastered and has a pointed arched passage that has been richly profiled. The tower is, after the church tower of the Sixtuskirche, the second highest point in the city. It was increased in the 18th century by the margravial agricultural inspector Johann David Steingruber and is now presented with a pyramid roof on which a ridge turret was placed.

graveyard

Probably the most valuable ensemble outside the old town is the cemetery on Bahnhofstrasse. In the 16th century, the burial places were moved from the places surrounding the church to an area outside the narrow old town. In 1542 the cemetery was moved to Prichsenstadt as well. An expansion was probably made in 1598, and many religious refugees from the Catholic area probably also caused the cemetery to grow.

The Prichsenstädter Friedhof has three special features that are typical of a Lutheran burial place in the Kitzinger Land. On the one hand, there is a renaissance portal which, with its pilasters, leads into the actual cemetery. The so-called arcades inside the cemetery were filled with mourners at funerals. On the other hand, a cemetery pulpit has been preserved, a square pavilion with a Welscher hood . The pastor gave funeral sermons from here.

Private houses and courtyards (selection)

The house at Luitpoldstrasse 12

Other significant houses in the old town can mostly be found on Luitpoldstrasse, Schulinstrasse and Karlsplatz. Prichsenstadt is considered to be one of the examples where Franconian house construction in the early modern period can be particularly well understood. In contrast to the larger cities in the area, the citizens were often only able to build their houses in half-timbered construction. As a result, the destruction of the Thirty Years' War destroyed a particularly large amount of the building fabric.

After the Freihof, the oldest preserved house in the city center is the residential building at Luitpoldstrasse 12. It was built in 1599 by the mayor of Prichsenstadt , Thomas or Theodor Albert. In the 18th century, however, the building was changed and its appearance was adapted to the baroque taste of the time. Today the property presents itself as a two-storey gable roof building with a Renaissance stepped gable . It was built on the gable facing Luitpoldstrasse. → see also: Luitpoldstraße 12 (Prichsenstadt)

The Alte Schmiede inn on Karlsplatz

The house at Karlsplatz 7 is also representative. It was built at the beginning of the 17th century and housed the Alte Schmiede inn for a long time , although the previous use is made clear by the choice of the name. The property forms an urban unit with the neighboring town hall. Similar to the town hall, it also has ornamental frameworks . The house presents itself as a two-story saddle roof structure. The gable was also aligned in the direction of Marktstrasse.

The reconstruction after the Thirty Years' War can be seen particularly well in two buildings. In 1671, at Luitpoldstraße 16, a two-storey saddle roof building with a crooked hip was built . The house was inhabited by tanners who could afford the representative half-timbering on the upper floor. The house at Schulinstrasse 7 is more modern. It was also built by a family of tanners in 1687 and is considered the city's first eaves-free building. The upper floor of the building is also decorated with half-timbering. → see also: Luitpoldstraße 16 (Prichsenstadt) and Schulinstraße 7 (Prichsenstadt)

A building at the end of Schulinstrasse is much more playful. The house at Schulinstrasse 19 was built at the turn of the 18th century; the long war had destroyed the previous building again. The residents took care of the erection of a bay window and thus expressed the increased prosperity. The house at Karlsplatz 9 also goes back to the economic boom in the 18th century. It is built entirely of stone and with its drilled windows, corner pilasters and hipped roof, it quotes the forms of the Baroque. → see also: Schulinstraße 19 (Prichsenstadt)

In the 19th century, the houses in the old town were built much more simply again. Good examples of this are the house at Schloßgasse 1 with its corner blocks and the plastered half-timbered gable, as well as the mansard roof house in Luitpoldstraße 11. The former bathhouse in Badgasse 9 presents itself as a single-storey gable house with a half-hipped roof and plastered half-timbered gable. It was built in the 19th century, but has remains of the previous building inside.

Prichsenstadt Castle

Except for the Freihof, there are no structural remains of the former castle , which was also important for the city's history. The underground remains of the facility are classified as a ground monument by the Bavarian State Office for the Preservation of Monuments . A fortified residence was first mentioned in 1258 together with the neighboring village. At first it was inhabited by local aristocratic families, only with the elevation of the city was the castle converted into an official palace of the Bohemian crown.

During the siege of 1462, the castle's fortifications were razed . The new city lords, the Margraves of Kulmbach, quickly rebuilt the castle. It was affected again in the Peasants' War. The final decline began with the Thirty Years War. On August 3, 1632, imperial soldiers set the palace on fire. The remains of the wall were used as building material in the following decades .

St. Sixt Hospital Foundation

In the late Middle Ages , a separate hospital was established in Prichsenstadt , which, located in the suburb (house no. 130), soon ensured that this part of the city was also enclosed in the wall. On September 1, 1443 in donated Nuremberg living vicar of St. Sebald, Friedrich Schuelein the hospital and dedicated it to St. Sixt. The hospital was set up for strangers passing through, who were supposed to find shelter here. The foundation was confirmed on February 21, 1444 by the Würzburg bishop Gottfried IV Schenk von Limpurg .

There was also a chapel in the hospital courtyard , which was placed under the saints Sixtus, Agnes, Elisabeth and Martha. In 1451 the founder of the hospital was granted papal privileges and two years later he established his own brotherhood to look after his court. Later St. Sixt also got its own vicarage and was able to acquire subjects through acquisitions. Hospital Hintersassen lived in Holzberndorf , Wasserberndorf , Hohnsberg , Ebersbrunn , Herpersdorf and Krettenbach .

With the transfer of the hospital to the city of Prichsenstadt after the death of the founder and the constant expansion of its influence, the tasks of the foundation changed. The St. Sixt Hospital was now used as a beneficiary home for old and infirm Prichsenstadt citizens. The chapel disappeared with the Reformation, and the hospital itself was moved to a building in front of the city in 1897. Today there is no retirement home in Prichsenstadt.

Mills

The former mill at the gate, to the right of the suburban gate

A total of five mills were to be found in and around Prichsenstadt in the Middle Ages and early modern times. All five are no longer in operation today, and the town mill on the edge of the fortification is no longer recognizable as a commercial enterprise. It was to be found in house no. 91 at the upper gate and was first mentioned in 1573 as "mill located at the gate". The city mill was sanctioned by the authorities and had to pay the so-called Herrngält , a levy in kind, to the city council. The water mill was shut down at the beginning of the 20th century.

The mill on the city moat is a little younger. It was first mentioned in a document on November 11, 1562. Michael Daimer received permission from the city council to build a mill next to his courtyard in the inner city ​​moat . The mill next to the city tower, at the transition between “suburb” and “inner city”, was probably just an episode. Other sources report that the mill was located on the property of house number 85.

The oldest mill in the Prichsenstadt district is the meadow mill, which was first mentioned in 1594. It was operated for a long time by foreign millers , it was not until 1979 that the mill was finally stopped. The buildings from the 18th century have been preserved as architectural monuments. In the course of the 18th century, the tanning trade in the city ensured the construction of two more mills, the Schnaudersmühle (built in 1704) and the Lohmühle (built in 1722). Both are now used as residential buildings.

Kitzingen-Schweinfurt railway line

At the end of the 19th century Prichsenstadt was connected to the Bavarian railway network. In 1893 the Kitzingen- Gerolzhofen section of the so-called Steigerwaldbahn (also Untere Steigerwaldbahn) was completed, Prichsenstadt was equipped with a train station in the west of the old town. The branch line connected from 1903 Kitzingen with the Schweinfurt Hauptbahnhof and was one of the longer branch lines in Germany.

Traffic on the route began to be reduced in the 1980s. In 1981 only passenger buses drove between Gerolzhofen and Kitzingen, freight traffic was given up in mid-2006. For a long time there have been initiatives to reactivate passenger traffic on the disused route. At the beginning of 2019 a fierce dispute broke out over the design of the restart, which has continued to this day, which became a political issue .

Regular events

A Ford Mustang GT at the Prichsenstadt Classics

Due to the tourist orientation of the city of Prichsenstadt, several regular events take place in the course of the year, which are particularly interesting for foreign guests. For over 40 years the so-called Old Town Wine Festival has been taking place along Luitpoldstrasse and Karlsplatz in June . The wine festival is celebrated for a total of four days. Once a year , the Prichsenstadt winemakers elect a wine princess to represent the wine at the wine festival .

In addition, the so-called Prichsenstadt Classics take place in April. At the oldtimer show , over a hundred oldtimers gather in Prichsenstadt's old town and are displayed there. The event is now known nationwide and attracts classic car fans from all over Germany. The classic car weekend in Prichsenstadt is accompanied by a rock'n'roll market with genre clothing. In addition to the two major events, there is also the “Prichsenstadt lights” festival of lights and a children's Christmas market .

Say

The gold owl

A man who lived in Prichsenstadt owned a large eared owl . Every day she gave him a gold ducat instead of an egg . The man had used the owl's services for many years and had become very wealthy in the process. But the owl did not die in spite of its old age. He now considered that this miracle could not happen without something in return and decided to get rid of the owl as soon as possible.

When a woman came to him with a carrying basket on her back, the man put the owl in the basket for her unnoticed. The woman left the man's house and then suddenly dropped to her knees. She said: "What is so heavy in the basket?" She turned around and looked into the owl's gruesome eyes. She backed away and the owl flew back into the room. The man was forced to live with the owl for a few years before it killed him one day and pecked out his eyes.

From the plaintive mother

One day a wealthy woman from the city of Prichsenstadt was visiting an acquaintance. He was seriously ill and the woman was nursing him. She didn't return to her house until around midnight . When she was about to go to bed, she suddenly began to cry loudly in front of the house. The woman opened the window, but she couldn't see anyone. Meanwhile the crying continued. The woman suspected that the wailing mother had cried, who made itself felt before some people died.

The Galgensee

The so-called Galgensee is now a natural monument in the southwest of Prichsenstadt's old town. This is where the districts of Prichsenstadt, Laub, Wiesentheid and Stadelschwarzach meet. Several people are said to have been misled there. Two farmers from Wiesentheid wandered around the lake for a whole night. At dawn one of the two reached the Laub schoolhouse. The other did not come near a village until the ringing of the day.

Economy and Infrastructure

economy

tourism

Tourism is probably the biggest economic factor in Prichsenstadt . Unlike in the cultural tourism strongholds along the Main, there is no mass tourism in the town. In Prichsenstadt, on the other hand, individual and excursion tourism predominates . This is also reflected in the number of overnight stays, which are relatively low for the municipality at 24,259 (2017). The core city itself, with its old town, is the main point of contact for guests.

The city's cultural tourism orientation is embodied by the night watchman , who leads guests through the city in historical costume. On the occasion of the 600th anniversary of the city in 1967, the night watchman, formerly commissioned by the community, was brought back to life as a figure. The guard originally had to take an oath , scream out the hours at night and make sure that nobody was to be found in the streets. In 2001 and 2019 the meeting of the European guild of towers and night watchmen took place in Prichsenstadt.

The city of Prichsenstadt also professionalized the advertising for the architectural and cultural landscape features of its surrounding area by joining the so-called village treasures in 2002. It is an amalgamation of a total of nine smaller municipalities in the district of Kitzingen, which organized joint trade fair appearances and are striving for joint tourism marketing. Prichsenstadt is located in the tourist region Franconian wine country .

Viticulture

Prichsenstadt is today a wine-growing area in the Franconian wine-growing region . There is a large vineyard around the city, the wine has been marketed under the name Prichsenstädter Krone since the 1970s. Prichsenstadt is part of the Steigerwald wine panorama area , until 2017 the winemakers were grouped together in the Steigerwald area. The Keuperböden around Prichsenstadt are just as suitable for growing wine as the location in the Maingau climate zone, which is one of the warmest in Germany.

The people around Prichsenstadt have been growing wine since the early Middle Ages . The Franconian settlers probably brought the vine to the Main in the 7th century. In the Middle Ages, the region was part of the largest contiguous wine-growing region in the Holy Roman Empire. The vine was first mentioned in Prichsenstadt in 1414, when there was talk of a "morning vineyard". The Prichsenstädter mostly operated part-time viticulture in subsistence farming , at the same time export centers were already emerging, especially along the Main.

Viticulture experienced a major decline after secularization at the beginning of the 19th century. Above all, locations with less favorable climatic conditions were completely abandoned. In addition, the emergence of pests such as phylloxera made cultivation difficult . Around 1900 there were no more vineyards in Prichsenstadt. The Franconian wine-growing region was not able to consolidate again until the second half of the 20th century. The use of fertilizers and improved cultivation methods had contributed to this, as had the organization in cooperatives and the land consolidation of the 1970s.

For the first time, a grape harvest was held in Prichsenstadt in 1954 , but it was not until the 1970s that viticulture was resumed in the town on a larger scale. Today the vineyard landscape around the city is one of the cornerstones for tourism. They offer tours of the vineyards for guests. The focus of the new viticulture culture is, however, the wine festival , which has been celebrated in the old town for over 40 years at the end of June.

Other branches of industry

Agriculture and forestry are still another economic factor in the city. The large community forest near Ilmenau , which in 1462 supplied the wood that was so important for the reconstruction, had to be sold in 1823. Nonetheless, specialty crops are mainly grown around the city . Asparagus plays a prominent role here . A total of three companies around Prichsenstadt have been certified and are allowed to use the protected geographical indication “Asparagus from Franconia”. This is the highest density in the Kitzingen district.

The city ​​was not industrialized until after World War II. In 1966 a branch of the Mero-TSK International company settled in Prichsenstadt. The company, which was founded in Berlin and later relocated to Würzburg, has specialized in the manufacture of building materials. Initially, the Prichsenstadt location was limited to raised floor production for halls and commercial sites, today other space frameworks are also manufactured here in a modular system. In addition, maintains Wiesentheid - Raiffeisenbank Volkacher Mainschleife a branch in Prichsenstadt.

traffic

After the closure of the Kitzingen- (Gerolzhofen) -Schweinfurt railway line, Prichsenstadt can only be reached by road. However, recommissioning of the former branch line is being discussed. The district of Prichsenstadt is crossed by the federal highway 286 , the next driveway is in the nearby Wiesentheid or in the district of Neuses am Sand. The federal highway 286 and the federal highway 22 also cross here .

In addition, Prichsenstadt is also a stage on state roads 2260 and 2420 (running in the village as Wiesentheider Straße). They cross in front of the Upper Gate on the edge of the old town. While the state road 2420 runs parallel to the main road, the St 2260, known in the local area as Lauber or Bahnhofstraße, connects Prichsenstadt with the nearest central center Volkach. The district road KT 46 runs from Kirchschönbach in the direction of Prichsenstadt and joins the state road 2420 north of the old town.

Prichsenstadt can only be reached by bus via the lines 8115 Castell - Münsterschwarzach - Dettelbach and 8217 Wiesentheid-Prichsenstadt-Gerolzhofen operated by the Mainfranken transport company. The bus goes to the Prichsenstadt / Schule stop, which is particularly popular with school buses. In addition, a passenger bank was set up on the outskirts of the city to complement local public transport. A citizen bus does not exist.

education

In Prichsenstadt there are two educational institutions with the house for children and the elementary school . Further education is provided in the neighboring towns. Already at the transition to the early modern period , a Latin school shaped by the Reformation , a German school and a girls' school were established in Prichsenstadt . The teachers at the German school came from the clergy, so the school cantor was mostly in charge . The organist, in turn, organized lessons at the girls' school.

From May 1, 1873, girls and boys were taught simultaneously. The separation was now made according to age. This is how the first and second schools in Prichsenstadt came into being, and were attended by different ages. Both schools were housed in different buildings. In 1886, an additional custodian for small children , the forerunner of today's kindergarten , was inaugurated . The school was moved to Wiesentheider Strasse in the south of the old town in the course of the 20th century. The gym was inaugurated in 1925 .

The Prichsenstadt elementary school on Wiesentheider Strasse now has a large district that includes all parts of the city. The school had over 100 students in 2019/2020. The current rector is Florian Hock. The Kindergarten Am Mühlseelein is used for early childhood education. The facility accepts children under three years of age. The girls' secondary school in Volkach, the Franken-Landschulheim Schloss Gaibach with secondary school and grammar school, and the Steigerwald-Landschulheim Wiesentheid provide further education .
