geography

Geographical location

The place is located on the western Maindreieck , the so-called Würzburg-Ochsenfurt Main Valley, and borders the Würzburg districts of Frauenland, Sanderau, Heidingsfeld and Heuchelhof, as well as the communities of Gerbrunn and Eibelstadt and is a well-known Franconian wine town. The center of Randersacker is about four kilometers from downtown Würzburg.

Community structure

Randersacker has two districts:

• Randersacker (main town)
• Lindelbach ( parish village )

There are the districts of Lindelbach and Randersacker.

geology

Randersacker was formerly in the center of the densest quarry region in Europe. The quarry limestone , which was mined there until the middle of the 20th century, was formed around 220 million years ago as a deposit in the Triassic Muschelkalkmeer . Due to the unfolding of the Alps and the shifting of the upper layers of the earth, the solidified lime was fissured into regular cubes and cuboids. The former quarries can be found on practically every mountain range around Randersacker. The natural monument quarry on Schlossplatz (Lindelbach district) is of selected scenic beauty and geological attractiveness. There, the fissures of the ashlar limestone can be viewed on the basis of an oversized chess board - the Lindelbacher “primeval sea sole” - as an example of an easily readable geological fault (flexure). According to the geologists, this unique ashlar limestone can only be found between Rothenburg ob der Tauber and Würzburg.

history

Until the church is planted

Randersacker was first mentioned in a document in 1123, but the Würzburg mark description of October 14, 779 reports on Randersacker's borderline situation much earlier. A vineyard on this border is named therein, so that this is regarded as the first evidence of viticulture on Randersackerer district. In 1979, Randersacker celebrated its 1200th anniversary as a wine town with a large parade of all associations, guilds and bands.

The spelling of the place name varies in the sources: 1219 "villa Randersachere", 1222 "Randesacker", 1244 "Randesacher", 1259 "Randersachere", 1369 "Ransacker", 1377 "Ranszacker", 1440 and to this day "Randersacker". In 1451 Randersacker was granted market rights. The fish market held every year in October reminds of this.

The 16th and 17th centuries are among the strangest episodes in local history. During this time the place was denominationally divided, all festivals were celebrated twice due to the different conversion to the Gregorian calendar .

As part of the Eibelstadt, Randersacker and Theilheim winery of the Würzburg monastery, Randersacker fell to Bavaria during the secularization of 1803. In the Peace of Preßburg (1805), the Archduke Ferdinand of Tuscany formed the Grand Duchy of Würzburg , with which it reverted to Bavaria in 1814. In the course of the administrative reforms in Bavaria, today's municipality was created with the municipal edict of 1818.

Incorporations

On January 1, 1975, the previously independent community of Lindelbach was incorporated.

Culture and sights

Buildings

Balthasar Neumann's garden pavilion

The well-proportioned pavilion was built by the great Baroque master builder Johann Balthasar Neumann around 1750. His private residence and at the same time his smallest building has been preserved in the original structure and all historical layers up to the present day. With a slate-covered Welsch hood, copper ridge vases, recessed corners and pilaster capitals, the garden house crowns the former village wall. All proportions are based on the golden ratio . The building materials are Würzburg sandstone and Randersacker shell limestone.

Parish Church of Saint Stephen

At the end of the 16th century, Prince-Bishop Julius Echter expanded the late Romanesque hall church into a three-aisled basilica. The facades show style elements of the Gothic, Renaissance, Julius style and Baroque. The highlights of the baroque interior are a beautiful baptismal font from 1605, the bust of Urbanus (Riemenschneiderschule) and figures of saints by Balth. Esterbauer, the tabernacle by Peter Wagner and two altar paintings by Oswald Ongher .

Zehnthof

This courtyard was equipped with eight volute gables until the 19th century. In the Thirty Years War, the buildings were looted despite the letter of protection from the imperial Piccolomini. A special right of asylum has been handed down from this uncertain time. Anyone who could touch the knob was safe from persecution for three days. The property went to the cathedral chapter before 1641. In 1921, honorary citizen Ludwig Schmitt founded the winegrowers' cooperative in Zehnthof. The oldest wine tithing table in Franconia from 1332/33 adorns the gatehouse, inscription: “ANNO D (OMI) NI MCCC / XXXII DUCENTE (E) T / SEXAGINTA KAR / RATE / VINI AD / HANC CURIAM / PRO DECIMA CE / DEBANT ANNO V / ERO TERCIO DE / INDE SUBSEQU / ENTE / DUODECIM / TANTUM KARAT (E) ”. Heraldic plaque from 1624 on the gatehouse: cathedral chapter, cathedral provost Konrad Friedrich von Thüngen and cathedral dean Georg von Wiesenthau; lower by Neustetter called Striker and von Guttenberg and two other coats of arms. A few years older coat of arms on the stair tower of the main building: Cathedral Chapter, Cathedral Provost Johann Gottfried von Aschhausen, Cathedral Dean Konrad Friedrich von Thüngen; small coats of arms: von Lichtenstein and von der Tann.

Main bridge

The Main Bridge, inaugurated in 1913, was an arched bridge around 200 meters long with four openings. The largest arch spanned the Main with a clear width of 63 meters. The bridge was made of concrete clad with shell limestone. On April 1, 1945, German pioneers blew up the building. There was no reconstruction. The arch bridge was counted among the 100 most beautiful bridges in the world. Since 2012, a memorial plaque has been commemorating the remains of the foundations and a rebuilt railing of the former bridge ramp to the Main Bridge.

Culinary specialties

In Randersacker there are over 17 self-marketing wineries.

Museums

The winegrowers' and fishermen's rooms and the stone carving museum are housed in the Mönchshof. The most important branches of the market for centuries are documented. The stone carving museum with its old equipment and historical tools is particularly vivid. You can see a replica of a prehistoric sea bed, a model of a derrick crane, sculptures, shell limestone fossils, a “Steehawer” workstation and some tubular stones that were exported to Holland as export hits in the 18th and 19th centuries.

economic sectors

Inn in Randersacker

In the past, the most important branches of industry were viticulture and fishing due to its location in the Main Valley . In addition, Randersacker is considered to be the cradle of shell limestone mining. Until the 1950s, this area was the most densely transported quarry region in Europe. Due to its location on the Main, Randersacker was able to market the particularly solid and therefore predestined building block so-called 'square limestone' excellently. Numerous structures are made of this building material (e.g. Old Main Bridge Würzburg, Olympiastadion Berlin ).

Thanks to this regionally naturally occurring raw material, sculpture in Randersacker is also firmly rooted. Many houses still have the old stonemason marks and sculptures on the facades.

Viticulture

Today, viticulture and tourism are the most important industries in the market town. All Franconian vineyards in the village are known (from north to south): Teufelskeller (28 ha), Pfülben (22 ha), Lämmerberg (15 ha), Marsberg (41.3 ha), Sonnenstuhl (50 ha), Dabug (in part in Lindelbacher district, 19.5 hectares), as well as the large area designation "Ewig Leben", which includes all individual layers except Dabug. Randersacker calls itself "Premium Weinort", which is justified for world-class wines in view of the unsurpassed density of top-quality wineries and the best geological and climatic conditions.

The wineries located in Randersacker were also able to achieve success in the renowned wine competitions of recent years:

• The Störrlein and Bardorf wineries and the Schmitt's Kinder winery, which has been in existence since 1712 , have achieved several titles at the IWSC in London (“Best in Class”).
• Schmitt's Kinder was the first German winery ever to be named "German Wine Producer of the Year" twice in a row in 2008 and 2009 at this unofficial World Wine Championship (IWSC London)
• Armin Störrlein won the title “White wine of the year 2009” at the awc in Vienna with the 2007 Randersackerer Sonnenstuhl Weißer Burgunder Großes Gewächs'.
• The golden pruning shears for the best Silvaner in the premium class went to the Arnold winery in 2009
• Arnold also received the title Best of Gold 2010 with a Silvaner Kabinett dry.
• One of the nationally extremely rare wineries that only produces fully fermented, i.e. almost exclusively dry, non-fortified wines is the Trockene Schmitts winery , a fusion of the former wineries Bruno Schmitt and Paul Schmitt.

Since 2016 there has also been a small coffee roastery in Martinshof directly on the church square. A specialty is the barrique coffee, which is made by storing the green coffee in a wine barrel before it is roasted.

traffic

Randersacker is also known for the “Würzburg / Randersacker” motorway exit of the A 3 , which is located on a section of the motorway that is at risk of congestion and can therefore be heard more often on traffic radio.

Randersacker is located on the Franconian Marienweg and the Main-Radweg , a long -distance cycle path . In the summer of 2008, the Main Cycle Route was the first German cycle route to receive 5 stars from the ADFC . The Tauber- Franconian network of trails to Rothenburg ob der Tauber can also be reached by bike by connecting the Main Cycle Path via the Gaubahnweg .

The Main flows past Randersacker as a federal waterway . The Randersacker barrage produces electricity from hydropower. For the migrating fish, the first bypass creek of the main river was built as a climbing aid around this barrage and the hydroelectric power station. Commissioned at the end of 2007, the inauguration took place on July 7, 2008.

There is a jetty at the Main parking lot for passenger shipping . ⊙ Commercial cargo handling is possible at the Beuschlein transshipment point on the right at kilometer 256.5 on the Main. ⊙ This is already below the Randersacker barrage at the Würzburg port at an altitude of 169  m above sea level.
