history

Already in the 7th / 8th In the 19th century, Heidenfeld was of great importance as a center court in Volkfeldgau. With the founding of the Heidenfeld Monastery, the village was first mentioned as "Heidenvelt". The Augustinian Canons' Monastery was founded around 1069 and handed over to Bishop Adalbero of Würzburg by the founder, Alberada, Margravine von Schweinfurt and her husband Hermann von Habsberg-Kastl . In the heyday of the monastery, the Augustinian monks of the canon monastery looked after over 30 places in the area or had their widely scattered possessions there. In 1525 the wealthy monastery burned down during the Peasants' War and again in 1554 during the Markgräfler War . The destroyed buildings were supposed to be rebuilt by the baroque master builder Balthasar Neumann , of which only the actual monastery buildings were completed, which have largely been preserved with their valuable stucco furnishings. After secularization , the monastery complex was initially privately owned, but came back into the possession of the church via detours and serves the nuns of the congregation of the Sisters of the Redeemer as a retirement and nursing home. The bones of the martyr priest Liborius Wagner, who was beatified on March 24, 1974, rest in the parish church of St. Laurentius in Heidenfeld, built in 1906 . Since then, many pilgrims have come to Heidenfeld to worship the Blessed; This admiration culminated in the celebration of the 350th year of death in 1981.

Hirschfeld was mentioned in a document from King Heinrich IV in 1060 as "Hirzvurtin". This name has often been interpreted as a ford frequented by deer in the Main, and there is some speculation that it refers to a person named Hirz. But it is also conceivable that the name is derived from the grain that was most commonly grown in ancient times and the Middle Ages, millet (Middle High German "hirs" or "millet"), or from the Latin hiscare (gape, open), because Hirschfeld is located at the transition from the comparatively narrow central Main Valley with its steep, limestone slopes, which are particularly suitable for viticulture, to the Schweinfurt basin , which opens wide to the north and is characterized by the slightly eroding, clayey and therefore well-suited Lettenkeuper . The settlement was owned by the Schweinfurt margraves early on. In the Middle Ages, the Würzburg Monastery and the Heidenfeld Monastery were wealthy there. In 1700 the parish church of St. Kilian was rebuilt. In 1814 Hirschfeld came to Bavaria together with most of Franconia . Hirschfeld suffered from floods every year due to its proximity to the Main. During the Second World War , the place suffered severe destruction in February 1944 and May 1945.

Röthlein was first mentioned in 1179 as an independent village. Settlement contexts and the oldest forms of the spelling of place names indicate that Röthlein grew out of a small clearing on the Rheinfeld district ("Rothreinfeld"). Parts of the place were sold to the Würzburg cathedral chapter in the 12th century. Since the end of the Middle Ages, this has been in the undisputed possession of the community and village rulers Röthlein. Röthlein was a branch of the Grafenrheinfeld parish in the Middle Ages . 1744 saw the construction of the own church, consecrated to the Apostle James the Elder; it was replaced in 1893/94 by today's new building. Röthlein's economy was previously characterized by fishing, running a mill and commercial horticulture (herb crops).

Through extensive historical research it was established that the original community "Rheinfeld" was first mentioned on November 21, 889. For this reason, the present-day communities of Bergrheinfeld , Grafenrheinfeld , Oberndorf and Röthlein , which belong to the original community, celebrated their 1100th anniversary in 1989/90.

The unitary community of Röthlein is located in the bend of the Main River in the Schweinfurt basin , which is open to the south, near the district town of Schweinfurt and covers an area of ​​1911 hectares. Schweinfurt offers jobs to many commuters . Full-time and part-time farmers still use 1,106 hectares. In 1972 the former municipalities were awarded the first prize for exemplary land consolidation by the Bavarian Ministry of Agriculture.

The new development areas with typical rural residential character fit harmoniously into the largely flat country. The community is supplied with drinking water by the Rhön-Maintal Group. The wastewater disposal for the municipal parts of Heidenfeld and Röthlein is carried out by the Zweckverband Unterer Unkenbach with the sewage treatment plant in Heidenfeld and for the municipal part of Hirschfeld by the Zweckverband Stammheimer Gruppe with the sewage treatment plant in Stammheim .

In the past few years the community has grown rapidly. In 1986 a new community building yard was built in the Mühläcker industrial park and equipped with the necessary equipment and vehicles.

Because of the limited space in the two previous school buildings in Heidenfeld and Röthlein, the community began building a new elementary school in Röthlein in 1988 , which ended at the beginning of the 1989/90 school year and was handed over to its intended purpose. The steady increase in the number of residents required the addition of three more classrooms in 1995.

International understanding was taken into account with the signing of partnership documents in 1989/90 with the French community of Cormelles le Royal in Normandy. The partnership committee is responsible for maintaining the partnership. In May 1999 the tenth anniversary of the partnership and in 2009 the twentieth anniversary were celebrated with festivities lasting several days.

religion

Röthlein's landmark is his church, built in the neo-Gothic style in 1893/95 for the Catholic parish. The parish church, consecrated to Jakobus the Elder, was built by the former Röthlein citizen Adam Nikolaus, master builder in Munich with the help of the residents. At this time the place had the reputation of a “bricklayer's village”, as the farms could not offer work to all family members.

The highest church tower in the district of Schweinfurt at 44 meters and the high nave tower over the village silhouette in all directions. A small church stood in the same place until 1893, which was built in 1744 based on plans by Balthasar Neumann.

An upright, life-size statue of St. James, carved from French limestone, adorns the outer facade above the portal. Standing on an ornate console and roofed over with a canopy on which a decorative turret, a so-called pinnacle , is placed, the figure of James is equipped with the same insignia, the staff and the sword, as the wooden sculpture on the side altar. The Würzburg sculptor Nikolaus Köstner created the statue of the church patron in 1893.

They are also looked after by the neighboring community of Schwebheim. There is a youth club in the basement of the extension. At the end of the street (Landrat-Wolf-Straße, named after a well-deserved citizen of the municipality) in the Bäckertorstraße (the name comes from the village fortifications from earlier centuries) stands the old schoolhouse, which was built in 1903/04 as a single storey and during the war was destroyed.
