The margraves dissolved the monastery in their function as pledges of the city of Kitzingen. In the course of the redemption, Repperndorf fell back to the Duchy of Würzburg as an important part of the former monastery . With this it became first electoral Bavarian in 1803 , in 1806 grand ducal in Würzburg , and in 1814 part of the Kingdom of Bavaria .

Viticulture

Repperndorf is today a wine-growing area in the Franconian wine-growing region . A vineyard exists around the village; the wine has been marketed under the name Repperndorfer Kaiser Karl since the 1970s and refers to the transit of the Frankish king. Repperndorf is part of the MainSüden area; Until 2017, the winemakers were grouped together in the Main Triangle area. The limestone soils around Repperndorf 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 Repperndorf have been viticulture since the early Middle Ages . The Franconian settlers probably brought the vine to the Main in the 7th century. According to legend, Charlemagne is said to have planted the first vine in Repperndorf. In the Middle Ages, the region was part of the largest contiguous wine-growing region in the Holy Roman Empire. The people mostly operated part-time viticulture for self-sufficiency , 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 . 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.

The wine-growing shapes still partly the site, which is about the annual wine festival , today or in the built outside the town center of Area Winzergenossenschaft Franken (GWF) as Winzergemeinschaft francs , reflecting the corporate name. The largest Franconian wine cooperative has its headquarters in Repperndorf because of the town's central location in the cultivation area. A wine and nature trail informs interested visitors about viticulture.
