Sahermor

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sahermor (also Sahermar , Sahelmar , Sahermannsgut , Sahermandergut ) is a desert on the border of the district of Kitzingen and the district of Schweinfurt , in the area of ​​the Volkach district of Gaibach and the municipality of Kolitzheim . The village was inhabited until the 15th century, before the residents left the place. The plague was probably the reason for the abandonment of the village.

Geographical location

The place where the village was is now occupied by the fields Reutholz, Nußloch, Lerchenberg and Müllerfeld in the districts of Gaibach and Kolitzheim. In the north is Lindach , in the west Kolitzheim. The south is taken by Gut Öttershausen . Stammheim am Main is to the southwest . The area of ​​the settlement is traversed by some spring streams, which was the basic requirement for such a foundation at that time.

history

The village was first mentioned in 1114. At that time, a document from Bishop Erlung von Würzburg confirmed the donation of two hubs "in villa Sahermor" (in the village of Sahermor) to the St. Stephan monastery in Würzburg. The place was mentioned a second time in 1258, when Counts Hermann and Heinrich zu Castell donated some fields in the village to Maidbronn Monastery to ensure the salvation of their father Friedrich.

In 1344/1348 the income of St. Stephen's Abbey was confirmed in the village. In the same year the Maidbronn monastery in the village of Sahermar was enfeoffed. In 1461 the Bartholomäuskirche in nearby Volkach gave 18 pfennigs interest for a farm in the village. A year later, in 1462, the place appeared as a desert. A single manse was still inhabited in the second half of the 15th century. This estate later appeared as the so-called Sahermannsgut. The village was probably abandoned because of a plague.
