history

The place where Reupelsdorf is today was settled in prehistoric times. Some barrows were uncovered in the vicinity . In 1971, the local priest discovered 53 axes and sickles from the Bronze Age . The finds are exhibited in the Mainfränkisches Museum in Würzburg. With the Christianization, Reupelsdorf became part of the greater parish of Stadtschwarzach.

Reupelsdorf was first mentioned on January 18, 1230, initially as "Rihpoltesdorf" and "Reippersdorf". For the first time from the 13th century, the Counts of Castell are passed down as village lords. They sold their rights in 1290 to the monks of the Münsterschwarzach monastery , for which the place became an important part of their property. At the same time, the abbey received the town's castle as a fiefdom. However, it was destroyed by the Ochsenfurt rebels during the German Peasants' War in 1525 .

The Margrave War of 1553 caused further destruction , when the village was plundered ten times by the soldiers of Friedrich von Sachsen. The Thirty Years War depopulated the village at times completely. The abbots of the monastery organized the reconstruction. The connection with the abbey was abruptly interrupted in 1803 when Münsterschwarzach was dissolved with the secularization . Reupelsdorf received the large monastery forest, which was converted into a state forest in 1806.

From the 20th century

In the First World War, eight men died from the village, three succumbed to their injuries in German hospitals. A total of 20 Reupelsdorfers fell in World War II . In the last days of World War II, SS troops and several Hungarian prisoners of war were quartered in Reupelsdorf. American low-flying planes shelled the village on April 4, 1945 and destroyed some houses.

After the war, the community took in a total of 36 displaced persons . In the post-war period, modernization was pushed ahead. The sewer system was built in 1954, land consolidation was carried out between 1962 and 1968, and new settlement areas were opened up.

Before the municipal reform , Reupelsdorf was an independent municipality with the districts Reupelsdorf Fuchsenmühle and Wasenmeisterei . On July 1, 1972, it was incorporated into the newly formed community of Wiesentheid. In 1978 and 1979 the village was connected to the long-distance water supply, and in 1982 a sewage treatment plant was built.

Culture and sights

Architectural and ground monuments

The Church of St. Sebastian

The Catholic parish church of St. Sebastian forms the center of the village. The basement of the tower was built in the late Gothic period, in 1610 it was increased and a so-called Julius Echter tower was built . At the beginning of the 18th century the nave was built and the church was equipped. The side altars came from the Balthasar Neumann Church of the Schwarzach Monastery when it was renewed. The oldest element of the furnishings is the Gothic tabernacle from around 1450.

The former fortifications of the Counts of Castell have not been preserved. The underground remains of the Reupelsdorf castle stable are registered as a ground monument by the Bavarian State Office for Monument Preservation . The castle has existed since the 11th century and initially belonged to the Counts of Castell. From 1486 the abbots of Münsterschwarzach received the castle as a fief . In 1525 it was burned down and not rebuilt.

There are several wayside shrines and small memorials from different centuries in the village . A crucifix probably dates back to the 16th century. Most of the tortures can be assigned to the 17th and 18th centuries. There are some typical Franconian farmhouses from the 19th century in Reupelsdorf.

Sebastian Brotherhood

The patronage of the church is a reference to the long veneration of St. Sebastian in Reupelsdorf. As the patron saint of riflemen and as a plague helper, the saint was valued by the villagers in the past. In 1682, for example, a court seal was created that shows the chained saint on a tree and was later converted into the coat of arms of the independent community.

A brotherhood of Sebastian was founded in the 15th century on the initiative of the Lords of Seinsheim, who were ministerials in Reupelsdorf Castle . At first it was also subordinate to Saint Fabianus , later it was only subordinate to the local patron Sebastian. More than 20 people gathered there, made up of the lower nobility of the area and some pastors from the other Schwarzach monastery villages.

In 1481 the Sebastian Brotherhood also received episcopal confirmation from Prince-Bishop Rudolf II von Scherenberg . As in similar brotherhoods in the surrounding cities, the members met regularly for a special prayer. They also pledged their mutual support and wore a badge . In the 16th century the brotherhood lost its importance and was abandoned around 1700. In 1897 a new establishment was established that still exists today.

economy

Reupelsdorf was a pure farming village for a long time. In 1949 there were still 203 farms, most of which were run as family businesses. In 1974 there were only 92 such establishments. Due to the small operating areas, the courtyards were transformed in the following decades, in part-time farms . Today Reupelsdorf is a typical commuter village , as hardly any money is made with tourism.
