Rimbach is a district of the town of Volkach in the Bavarian district of Kitzingen in Lower Franconia . Rimbach was an independent municipality until the voluntary merger with Volkach on July 1, 1977. During the Middle Ages, the village was in the hands of the Zollner von der Hallburg, who named their own line after the place. Later it came to the Counts of Schönborn, who exercised the lower jurisdiction in Rimbach until 1848.
Rimbach is far away from the major tourist centers on the Volkacher Mainschleife . Nevertheless, the village has a large number of cultural assets and architectural monuments. In addition to the Georgskirche, which was a branch of the town church in Volkach for a long time, the Marian column on Lindenstrasse forms the center of the village. There are no traces of the Rimbach Castle, which stood in the north of the village for centuries.
Geographical location
Geography and natural location
Rimbach is located in the far east of the Volkach municipality. In the north is the Volkach district of Krautheim , in the northeast, with the municipality of Frankenwinheim, the district of Schweinfurt begins . To the east lies the community of Lülsfeld , also in the district of Schweinfurt. In the south, in turn, the Volkacher municipality extends with the district of Eichfeld . To the southwest, separated by the state road St 2260, lies the Strehlhof , to the west Volkach . Obervolkach is in the northwest.
The closest larger cities are Kitzingen , which is around 17 kilometers away, and Schweinfurt , which is around 21 kilometers away. The next big city is Würzburg, 27 kilometers away .
In terms of its natural surroundings, the Rimbacher district lies in the Steigerwald foreland of Neuses , which is part of the Iphofen-Gerolzhofener Steigerwald forland within the Mainfränkische Platten .
The village is located in the Maingau climate zone, which is one of the driest and warmest climate zones in Germany. This also explains the local viticulture. The place is traversed by the Rimbach , a tributary of the Weidachbach . Further waters are located in the southwest of the district around the Strehlhof. The Halbmeilenbach flows into the lake of the same name. The Rotenbach and the Heiligenbach flow into the Sommerach .
Village structure
The Rimbach district takes up an area of about 6 km². In the northeast is the Haufendorf at the Rimbach . The Georgskirche is in the north, the area of the castle in the east. To the west, a large new building area was designated after 1970 , which today is formed by the Birkenstrasse and the Tannenstrasse. Immediately adjacent to the built-up area is the so-called Rimbach Lake in the south. The village's sports area is also located there .
In the northwest of Rimbach the vineyard rises to a height of 242 meters. The village's sewage treatment plant was built underneath . Strehlhof is located three kilometers from the actual village in the southwest . The remote area has historically been long associated with the village Rimbach. Further west, in the immediate vicinity of the Volkacher Mainfranken barracks , is the Halbmeilensee , which is a natural monument , and an unnamed lake next to the street St 2260.
There are only a few named corridors in the district. In particular, the corridor sections that are now occupied by the forest are recorded. In the west between Volkach and Rimbach, the Brandwald, the Streetschlag, the Hartwald (also Haardt) and the Fuchsschlag forest extend. In the south of Rimbach is the half mile corridor, named after the distance to the city of Volkach. The Hutwald surrounds the lake of the same name.
history
Prehistory and early history (up to 906)
Many prehistoric finds have been made in the area around Rimbach. An amphibolite plow wedge was excavated at the Halbmeile Lake. It refers to the settlement in the Neolithic . People of the linear ceramic culture probably settled here. A prehistoric military route to Rimbach probably led via Vogelsburg , Nordheim am Main , Hallburg and Ulberg . The north of Rimbach probably remained settled in the Middle Neolithic .
Several burial mounds were discovered in the direction of Lülsfeld from the Bronze Age . During the Latène period there was a population overburden everywhere in the loop region of the Main: The Celts who moved in displaced the original settlers. Several Celtic silver coins were discovered in Rimbach, showing a dumbbell, a spiral ring, the so-called torques and a business hatchet.
Around 50 BC, Elbe Germanic - Suebi peoples advanced into the area around Rimbach. It is unclear whether a village already existed where it is today. Over 600 years later, in the 6th century AD, the Germanic Franks conquered the region. They brought their first administrative structures with them and also pushed Christianization in what is now Main Franconia.
The settlement of Rimbach as a clearing site probably took place in the course of this colonization in the 7th and 8th centuries. During this period a Franconian Urgau, the Volkfeld , had already established itself as the king's property. Rimbach became part of this widespread property in the 9th century. However, the king soon began to dissolve this closed country. He gave entire areas to other rulers and assured their loyalty.
The Lords of Rimbach (until 1355)
It is controversial whether Rimbach appears in the document from 906. Possibly the mentioned "Ronopahe" or "Ronopahc" was the now abandoned village of Ronobach near Sommerach . However, due to the position within the document, in the Ronopahe next to "Aachiveld", which can be clearly identified as Eichfeld , it is likely that it is today's Rimbach.
In the document of 906, King Ludwig confirmed that the child was a gift from his father Arnulf of Carinthia . According to this, several villages came to the Boniface Abbey of Fulda as early as 889 . At this early point in time, the village will only have consisted of a royal, later Fulda, serfdom and a few serf houses (lat. Loca cum mancipiis ). At that time, Rimbach was cared for by the Kirchberg parish in nearby Volkach.
The close connections to Volkach could also be the reason why Rimbach was thought to be the cattle farm of Volkach for a long time. After the transition to the Fulda Monastery, the sources remain silent about the village for a while. It was not until 1134 that Rimbach reappeared in written records. Meanwhile there was a family of ministers who were in the service of the Ebrach monastery , the Counts of Castell and the Würzburg monastery . In 1300 a noble farm in the village was also mentioned.
The Zollner zu Rimbach (until 1598)
The last time the Lords of Rimbach were mentioned in 1303. However, it took a few years before the village was acquired by the customs officers from Hallburg . This family of servants was appointed by the Bishop of Würzburg to collect the Mainzoll from the Hallburg . This had given the family some money. The brothers Erkinger, Endres, Konrad and Stephan were the first owners of Rimbach. Erkinger and Endres moved into the Edelhof and called themselves "Zollner zu Rimbach".
The Lords of Rimbach expanded the Edelhof into a castle and began to expand the property by purchasing the Strehlhof. The village was also ecclesiastically upgraded: a chapel in the village has survived from 1447, but the Volkach parish church was still responsible for the village. The Volkach people also began to go on pilgrimages to Rimbach, which is why the village was sometimes also called "Maria Rimbach". The pilgrimage lasted until the 20th century.
In 1511 the sheep farm appeared in the village for the first time, which in the following period led to frequent border disputes with the surrounding villages because the sheep did not adhere to the municipal boundaries. The German Peasants' War also shook the remote village. 34 Rimbach subjects joined the Tauberhaufen and burned down the castle of the hated feudal lords. At that time, Hans Zollner zu Rimbach was defending the Marienfestung in Würzburg and could therefore not prevent the attack.
After the uprising was put down, Hans Zollner was one of eight people from the knighthood who collected the compensation money from the farmers. In Rimbach the damage amounted to 911 guilders, 11 people were executed in Gerolzhofen . Gerolzhofen, seat of the prince-bishop's main court , was a thorn in the side of the customs officers. They claimed the high judiciary for themselves and also let convicted felons cycle. An agreement was only reached in 1611 and only Gerolzhofen was allowed to enforce the judgments.
With the death of the last male customs officer from Rimbach, Michel, the local nobility died out. There were several inheritance disputes with the other lines of service men. The properties in Rimbach were valued at 36,395 guilders and were therefore very popular with relatives. At times, Michel's cousins took possession of the village. After 20 weeks they were evicted by force from the Vogt of Gerolzhofen. Only Michel's mother, Ursula von Grumbach , who died in 1598, was able to hold the property together.
The Counts of Schönborn (until 1802)
With the death of Ursula, disputes over property broke out again. In the decades that followed, Rimbach often received new village lords, and almost all of the Zollner lines laid claim to the village. In addition, Rimbach was also affected by the beginning Reformation . In 1612, 15 Lutheran families are recorded in the village. The place was probably influenced by the sermons of Argula von Grumbach , who resided in nearby Zeilitzheim .
The Thirty Years' War also brought a lot of suffering in Rimbach. In 1631 the village was occupied by the Protestant Swedes, followed by the Catholic French in 1632. A year later, in the meantime the Swedes were village lords again, they appointed Johann Höpfel, a Lutheran pastor in Rimbach. In 1633 the plague broke out in the village and the people of Rimbach fled to Volkach.
During the war the last members of the Zollner family died and the Würzburg monastery was able to assert a fiefdom home case . In 1636, the bishopric appointed Colonel Veit Dietrich von Steinheim as the new lord of the village, who had distinguished himself militarily during the conquest of the Königshofen fortress . He could not stop the decline of the village: In 1657 the castle was described as dilapidated, only 10 hearths were still inhabited, the chapel had collapsed.
After the death of Colonel von Steinheim, the monastery again came into the possession of the village. Now, however, the Counts of Schönborn also made their claim. Ursula von Grumbach, the last customs officer from Rimbach, had sold her rights to Christoph Truchseß von Pommersfelden . After his death, the rights fell to Lothar Franz von Schönborn, the Prince-Bishop of Bamberg. His heir Johann Philipp von Schönborn initiated a lawsuit against Würzburg and on March 12, 1663 handed Rimbach over to his brother Philipp Erwein von Schönborn .
The new village lord had the village church rebuilt between 1667 and 1670 and pushed the counter-reformation in the village. The trial against Würzburg was only settled in 1715. Now Rimbach was finally part of the Wiesentheid rule and was administered from Gaibach . Therefore, no investment was made in the reconstruction of the castle, which had been destroyed in the Thirty Years War, and Rimbach lost its noble residence in favor of the so-called Jägerhaus.
During the War of the Spanish Succession there were further stations and passages in Rimbach. In 1702, imperial troops took up quarters in the small village. In 1790 the Schönborn rule applied for the establishment of their own parish in Rimbach, and the Würzburg prince-bishop granted the establishment of a curate on June 14, 1791 , which, however, did not last long.

In the course of the reorganization of Europe by Napoleon Bonaparte , the small imperial rulers were dissolved in 1803 and larger states were incorporated. The rule Wiesentheid came to Kurpfalz-Bavaria and Rimbach became an independent rural community . After an interlude in the Grand Duchy of Würzburg , the village finally came to the young Kingdom of Bavaria in 1814 . The Counts of Schönborn were now registered lords and could continue to exercise some rights in the village.
In 1812 Rimbach lost its quasi-parish and came back to the Bartholomäuskirche in Volkach. In the same year, some Jewish families also settled in the village. In Rimbach, one of the count's most advanced sheep breeding facilities had been established and the Jewish cattle traders were needed to bring the goods onto the market. By Matrikelgesetz the number of families in nine remained limited. The history of the Jewish community in Rimbach ended in 1881 when they moved away.
On November 20, 1848, the Counts of Schönborn also lost their last privileges in the village. With the Basic Relief Act, the aristocratic court in Wiesentheid , which had been responsible for lower jurisdiction in the name of the counts since 1803 , was dissolved and Rimbach was assigned to a Bavarian regional court . On May 15, 1860, the Georgskirche was upgraded to a parish church. The district of Rimbach enlarged on August 23, 1861, when the half mile corridor came to the village.
In a major fire in 1907, three houses were destroyed by flames. In the First World War , 73 soldiers from the village fought and 7 men died. In the Second World War , 14 were killed and 3 went missing. During the war, many forced laborers worked in Rimbach . On April 8, 1945, the advancing Americans expected a German counterattack near the village, but ultimately it remained peaceful.
After the war, modernity found its way into the place. So land consolidation began in 1961 and dragged on until 1970. A year later the cemetery, formerly located around the Georgskirche, was moved to the edge of the village. In 1966 the local roads were expanded. The old had bunk Linde soft, the decades had long formed the center of the village. On July 1, 1977 Rimbach became part of the city of Volkach.
Place name
The origin of the name Rimbach is unclear. The ending -bach probably goes back to the 7th or 8th century AD. In the course of the Carolingian state development, several strips of forest were cleared. This is how the village came into being. Possibly the place name was derived from the Old High German word rinda or from Middle High German rinte , which means something like bark or bark . Maybe a Rinderhof in place was established, the name would have then from Old High German hrind derived.
It is also uncertain when Rimbach was first mentioned. Research is not sure whether “Ronopahc” or “Ronopahe” in a document from 906 was today's Rimbach. Otherwise, another appearance in 1164 would be the first mention of the place. In 1298 the place was called "Ryntbach" and in 1498 it was mentioned as "Rympach". Almost at the same time, "Ronbach" appeared. Today the village is called "Rümby" in dialect .
Administration and courts
|
The following administrative units were superordinate to the municipality of Rimbach.
|
In court, Rimbach was subject to the following instances.
|
coat of arms
|
|
Blazon : "In yellow, split by a thick black wavy bar, two red cattle horns facing each other." |
| Justification of the coat of arms: The coat of arms of the former community is based on that of the Counts of Schönborn, who ruled Rimbach for a long time . The colors red and yellow are references to the family coat of arms of the counts, which shows a striding, golden lion in red . The cattle horns give evidence of the name Rimbach, which was often associated with a cattle farm located here. |
politics
From mayor to local spokesman
In the Middle Ages and early modern times , the village population had hardly any co-determination rights, they were assigned as subjects of the respective rule. This only changed in the course of mediatization when the Rimbachers were granted civil rights. For a long time the municipality of Rimbach was headed by an elected mayor and a municipal council , who decided independently on local politics.
Already in the 1970s there was discussion about forming an administrative community with the surrounding communities. With the municipal area reform , a decision was made in favor of joining the city of Volkach, which was determined in a municipal council resolution of November 14, 1975. Rimbach received a promise that the school building should be given a subsequent use, and sidewalks should also be built on the district road.
On July 1, 1977 Rimbach became a district of the city of Volkach. The last local council with councilors Adolf Götz, Benno Dülk and Emil Müller, as well as the mayors Konrad Fackelmann and Willi Götz resigned. At a citizens' meeting, Willi Müller was elected the first local spokesman to represent Rimbach in the now larger Volkach city council . Today Ute is the local spokesperson for Stein Rimbach.
Population development
Rimbach is one of the smaller Volkach districts. The population was just under 250 at the beginning of the 19th century, but this mark was exceeded by the end of the century. After the First World War, the number of inhabitants increased slightly, but the highest figure, at exactly 300 people, was only reached after the Second World War, when many displaced persons and refugees lived in Rimbach. The population is falling today in the course of demographic change .

Culture and sights
Architectural monuments
George's Church
The church of St. George forms the center of the village. It was first mentioned in the 15th century and for a long time was a branch of the original parish church on the Volkacher Kirchberg. As early as the 17th century, the church was in poor condition and should be renewed. The new building was realized between 1669 and 1715 by the Tyrolean Jakob Hueber. In 1860, the Georgskirche was removed from Volkach.
It is due to the Tyrolean master builder that the church does not present itself as a typical Franconian village church. A four-sided ridge turret with an onion dome , as they are more likely to be found in old Bavaria and Austria, was attached to the church, and it also has a retracted choir . The nave is divided by three window axes, an epitaph was attached to the outer wall of the choir .
The center of the choir is the sacrament house from 1502 with a representation of Christ in the arched field. Several epitaphs of the Zollner von Rimbach refer to the past of the place as the seat of the knight family. Shortly after the completion of the new building, the altars came into the church in the 18th century. A short time later, the pulpit and baptismal font , which today stands in front of the choir, were created.
Chapel of Jesus on the Wies
The chapel Jesus auf der Wies on a field on the edge of the district is another Rimbach monument , which has long been maintained by the parish in Obervolkach. An old pilgrimage route led past there to the Church of Maria im Sand in Dettelbach . At this point there was originally a richly decorated wayside shrine , a small chapel was built in the 17th century.
After a foundation in 1872, the Obervolkach town council decided to have the chapel renewed. The building is a small rectangular building and was completed in its current form by 1874. A polygonal choir closes it off to the west. Most of the items are currently in the Nikolauskirche in Obervolkach. Only a shrine relief in the outer wall of the choir still comes from the old furnishings.
Private houses and small monuments
Several small monuments date from different centuries. A large two-story farmhouse from the 19th century has been preserved on Lindenstrasse in the immediate vicinity of the old town center. The storeys are recognizable from the outside through a cornice , the building ends with a crooked hip roof and bears a relief of the Coronation of Mary on the outside .
A flat refractive house Rimbach Lake from the second half of the 19th century made of exposed sandstone and with a gabled roof was an anachronism, since the advent of even at its inception cotton the flat production had largely displaced. The house has been preserved because the Rimbach fire brigade and some farmers used it as storage space. There are some wayside shrines and small monuments in the village . A monolith shrine on the Krönleinstraße in the direction of Järkendorf dates from 1615. It bears a relief of the crucifixion of Christ , an inscription on the back refers to the foundation of the torture. The figures of Saints George and Catherine on the narrow sides may refer to the first names of the donors.
Three typically Franconian courtyard gate posts with wheel deflectors and pine attachments were created around 1740. In the immediate vicinity of the flax breaker house there is a picture house depicting the Coronation of Mary from the 18th or 19th century. A crucifix was set up on the way to Lülsfeld in the 19th century. The center of the old village is an Immaculata on Lindenstrasse. A limestone cross tug from the first half of the 20th century stands on Tannenstrasse on the edge of the new development area.

Rimbach Castle
There are no remnants of the Rimbach Castle , which was the center of the town for a long time. It was probably built by the Lords of Rimbach, Würzburg ministers. Later the customs officers from Rimbach sat there. The castle was rebuilt several times and only lost its defensive function after the Thirty Years War. In the 18th century, the castle was probably demolished by the Counts of Schönborn and replaced by the so-called Jägerhaus .
The underground remains of the castle complex are classified by the Bavarian State Office for Monument Preservation as a ground monument . Several descriptions of the castle allow conclusions to be drawn about its condition. In 1511 it consisted of several gates and towers and was surrounded by a wall and a kennel. The castle was destroyed during the Peasants' War and then rebuilt. Now they towered over three towers and the moat was deepened.
Regular events
Unlike in many other places in the area, there is no wine festival in Rimbach despite the old winemaking tradition . The village does indeed put up a maypole on May 1st and a festival is celebrated. The much older petition processions and pilgrimages have been preserved. The Mainschleife riding and driving association from Obervolkach annually organizes the so-called St. George's ride , during which people and horses are blessed by the local clergyman.
The pilgrimage of the Rimbachers to the Madonna of Mercy in Dettelbach, which was established in the 19th century, is older, but the reasons for this are unclear. Every first Sunday in September the pilgrims walk via Volkach and Escherndorf to Dettelbach to the pilgrimage church Maria im Sand . A pilgrimage picture depicting the Pietà was only added in 2005.
Say
The hoi man
Similar to Obervolkach, Volkach and Gaibach, there is also the legend of the Hoi-Mann in Rimbach, who was banished to the Haardt Forest between Obervolkach and Rimbach as an evil administrator in the Gaibach Castle after his death, and who is there as a ghost. In Rimbach the spirit was also called Hoje or Hoja. After a Capuchin banished him to a bottle, a Rimbach farmer uncorked the bottle and freed the spirit again.
A man skipped the service in Rimbach on a Sunday and instead wandered through the Haardt Forest. At Nägeleinsee he was suddenly grabbed by the collar by a ghost hand. This was repeated a few times as the man walked on. The man soon identified the Hoi man behind the attacks and shouted, "In the name of the Holy Trinity , stop!" A voice replied, "Glad you said that, otherwise you would have been lost!" The man left quickly the forest.
The Rimbach shoemaker had bought a pack of leather in Volkach that he wanted to use. When he went home through the Haardt Forest at night and passed the Nägeleinsee, he saw a wine grower. He had put his wagon in the ditch and the shoemaker helped him get out. The winemaker thanked him and gave him some of his wine to drink. When he had finished drinking, he suddenly saw that the winemaker had no head. The shoemaker died soon after.
The Hoi man also frightened the animals by entering the gates with his headless horse . For example, a shepherd had her sheep penned up at Half Mile Lake for the night. The Hoi man, however, appeared as a headless rider and shook the gate of the pen. The sheep broke out and the dog ran away. The shepherd woke up to the noise and ran quickly into the village to fetch people to help him herd the sheep back together.
Another incident is about the Hoi man's dog. A farmer kept a night watch in his field on the half-mile boundary, as a lot had been stolen the previous nights. Suddenly a large dog ran out of the Haardt Forest, and instead of barking, a pillar of fire shot out of its mouth. The farmer recognized the Hoi man's dog and shouted, “So, it's you, go in God's name!” The dog again generated a large flame and disappeared into the forest.
The light in the elderberry bush
A pious farmer's wife who lived alone in a house in Rimbach prayed every evening in front of the picture of Our Lady. One evening she noticed a light in the elder bush outside her window. At first the woman believed in an imagination and paid no attention to it. But also in the next few days the light shone in the bush. She rushed outside and asked what this meant. The answer came from the bush: “I am a poor soul waiting for redemption!” The woman had three holy masses read in the church and the light disappeared forever.
The will-o'-the-wisp on Krautheimer Weg
The saying “The crazy is coming!”, Which was often used to frighten children in Rimbach, also goes back to a legend. A headless, wandering male is said to have been up to mischief on the Krautheimer Weg. It was equipped with a lantern and a scythe and always appeared at the Grundsee at dusk. Children who were still on the streets up to that time were terrified and terrified. If you fall into the hands of the will-o'-the-wisp, it will drag you into its underground building.
Economy and Infrastructure
economy
Sheep farming established itself in the village with the Counts of Schönborn. The counts had started to breed sheep on the Hallburg , but the space there soon became too small. In Rimbach the right was handed down that the farmers' sheep were allowed to graze in the surrounding districts. The counts made use of this right and built a center for progressive animal husbandry in the village . Sheep breeding ceased after the Second World War.
The people of Rimbach used to live mainly from agriculture. In addition to the cultivation of fruit and vegetables, viticulture also played a role, albeit more for the self-sufficiency of the population. In 1887 no wine was exported, but 200 quintals of fruit were offered at the Volkach wholesale market . With the appearance of phylloxera after the First World War, viticulture ceased almost completely, only two vineyards survived the infestation. In 1960 almost everyone in Rimbach owned a morning of wine for their own use.
Although viticulture played a rather subordinate role in Rimbach, the oldest vineyard in Franconia can be found there. It is the so-called old sentence in the hallway to the Brücklein. The vineyard has existed since 1835 and is now being grown by the fourth generation of the Hufnagel family. The mountain remained untouched by the land consolidation and has a large number of varieties . The Rimbacher Wein does not have its own location, but is part of the Landsknecht von Obervolkach location.
In the 20th century, Rimbach was the destination of several pilgrimages from Volkach and there were several inns for pilgrims in the village . In contrast to the villages in the area, especially on the Mainschleife, there is hardly any tourism in Rimbach . In 1912 a Raiffeisenkasse was founded in the village, which was given a new bank building in 1961. Just one year later, the cash register merged with Raiffeisenbank Volkach. Today Rimbach is part of the Raiffeisenbank Volkacher Mainschleife - Wiesentheid division .

traffic
Rimbach was only significant in terms of traffic engineering in prehistory and early history, when an important military road led past the point where the village can be found today. Later, the Edelhof formed the border between the Würzburg regional courts and the offices of Volkach and Gerolzhofen, so that Rimbach found itself in a remote position. In the 19th century the village began to orient itself towards Volkach. This continued to decrease in importance.
Today only two district roads lead to Rimbach. The road KT 36 leads from Volkach to Rimbach and ends in the village. The district road KT 37 runs via Krautheim to Rimbach, where it continues as Krautheimer Straße. In the south of the village it divides at Lake Rimbach and continues in the direction of Lülsfeld, as district road KT 39 to Järkendorf and to Eichfeld. In addition, a piece of the state road St 2260 was laid at Strehlhof over Rimbacher district.

The early days of school education in Rimbach are largely in the dark. Individual teachers have only appeared in the sources since the end of the 18th century. Initially, the gentlemen from Schönborn appointed the village teachers; no specific training was required. After the mediatization in 1803, the occupation of the school position remained in the hands of the Counts of Schönborn, who now held the class rule . After 1864 there was only one school administrator in Rimbach.
At the same time there was a Jewish community in Rimbach in the 19th century , whose children were taught by religious teachers. First, the Jewish children were educated in Frankenwinheim , before the communities of Rimbach, Lülsfeld and Järkendorf succeeded in building their own Jewish school district in 1855 . Classes were held in Rimbach every two days, although later efforts were made to set up a Jewish school exclusively for children from Rimbach.
Rimbach has been located in the district of the elementary school in nearby Volkach since the 1960s. Elementary and middle schools were combined under this name. The pupils can take the qualifying secondary school leaving certificate and, via the so-called M-branch , the secondary school leaving certificate. Extracurricular education is provided by the Volkach Adult Education Center .
A girls' secondary school is located in the St. Maria monastery in Volkach for higher education . In the Volkach district of Gaibach there is also a large grammar school with a secondary school and boarding school, the Franken-Landschulheim Schloss Gaibach . The Steigerwald-Landschulheim in Wiesentheid is also nearby. The students can also attend the private Egbert grammar school in Münsterschwarzach.
Associations and associations
The oldest organization in Rimbach is the volunteer fire brigade , which is now organized in a fire brigade association. It was founded on August 29, 1874. Shortly after the Second World War, in 1955, it was possible to purchase a motorized sprayer (TS 8/8). Between 1974 and 1975 the firefighters built a new fire station in the town center. Today the Wehr owns a portable pump vehicle (TSF), and Matthias Götz was elected commander.
Furthermore, the DJK Rimbach eV has established itself in Rimbach . It was founded in 1962, and in 2007 a players association was formed with the SVG Lülsfeld. Since 2010, both clubs merged to form SG Rimbach / Lülsfeld. The sports area is located in the south of Rimbach and was built in 1968, and in 1972 a sports center was built. Further additions took place in 2001 and 2003. In addition to a soccer team , a netball team is also maintained in Rimbach .
Personalities
For a long time, Rimbach was the seat of the Zollner von Rimbach family, who, as a family of servants, exercised considerable influence on the village and the surrounding area. The brothers Erkinger (1356–1391) and Endres Zollner (1374–1405) were the first to name themselves after the village, later their sons Friedrich (1391–1399) and Michel (1409–1422) did the same. After her death, the village fell to the grandsons of their cousins , Peter (1427-1454) and Endres (1432-1480).
Now the Endres' sons, Hans and Stephan (1485–1533), took over the property in Rimbach. Hans (1484–1530) became part of the occupation of the Marienberg Fortress during the German Peasants' War and after the uprising received compensation for the knighthood in the Würzburg monastery. He was probably buried in Rimbach, two fragments of his epitaph are still on the church. An inscription reads: "1530 on St. George's Day Hans Zolner zu Rimpach, Wirczburgischer Rat de got g."
They were followed by the sons of Stephan Caspar (1533–1558) and Claus (1539). Caspar later married Ursula von Grumbach († 1598), with whom he had five children. Hans (1570), Michel (1559–1591), Stephan (1559–1575), Caspar (1559–1589) and Albrecht (1559–1575) were the last Zollner von Rimbach, the line died out with the death of Michel Zollner.
In the 19th century, a Rimbacher excelled as a soldier. Johann Gerneth (later Ritter von Gerneth, born April 2, 1848 in Rimbach, † 1901) was an officer and military historian. In 1896 he became Lieutenant Colonel and Chief of General Staff II. Two years later, in 1898, he was promoted to head of department in the Bavarian Ministry of War, and at the same time became a colonel. As a member of the Bavarian Senate, he came to the Reich Military Court in Berlin in 1900 .
The most famous Rimbacher is probably the painter Willi Götz (* 1926 in Rimbach; † 1993 ibid). Götz initially did an apprenticeship as a painter and house painter, but also took drawing lessons at the arts and crafts school in Würzburg. In 1949 he moved to Munich and became a student at the Academy of Fine Arts . From 1955 he lived in Rimbach again and worked as a freelance artist from then on. His works, especially the wall paintings, have been preserved in many churches in Mainfranken .
Before 1977, the independent municipality of Rimbach only granted one person honorary citizenship . Richard Voll (born November 21, 1899 in Oberebersbach ; † July 15, 1980 in Würzburg ) was pastor of the parish for a long time and probably also looked after it during the Second World War. The Rimbach Council therefore granted him honorary citizenship on February 21, 1974.
