etymology

It is not known exactly what the name Sailauf is derived from. There are two possible theories:

  • The name of the settlement is based on the old personal name Sigelouf .
  • The name comes from the Sailauf brook , which flows into the Laufach municipality . Since this stream of the same name exists and place names often developed from water names in the region, this etymology is more likely.

history

The early church of the upper Aschaff Valley was already there in 1089 . The Sigilovf (e) manor was first mentioned in a document in 1189 , from which the name Sailauf developed. In the 13th century, Sailauf was temporarily under the rule of the Counts of Rieneck , who built the "Landesere" castle on the nearby Graefenberg . In 1265, the Elector of Mainz, Werner von Eppstein, built the hunting lodge “castrum vivarium”, which was later renamed “Weyberhof”. When the plague raged in Europe in 1349 , the Vorspessart was almost deserted. Later settlers from the Steigerwald came to Sailauf . In 1552 the “ Weyberhöfecastle was destroyed in the Second Markgrafler War.

In the Thirty Years War (1618-1648) Sailauf was almost completely destroyed. In 1789 the Sankt-Vitus-Kirche was built over Sailauf, which is probably the fourth church on this site. In 1803 the reign of the Elector of Mainz ended in the Vorspessart, and in 1814 Aschaffenburg and the surrounding area came to Bavaria.

On July 1, 1862, the district office of Aschaffenburg was formed, on whose administrative area Sailauf was located. In 1939, as everywhere in the German Reich, the designation district was introduced. Sailauf was now one of the 33 communities in the old district of Aschaffenburg . On July 1, 1972, this merged with the Alzenau district in Lower Franconia to form the new Aschaffenburg district.

Eichenberg has belonged to Sailauf since July 1, 1972.

Culture and sights

Sights / surroundings

Parish Church of St. Vitus in Sailauf
Town hall in Sailauf
  • The late Baroque St. Vitus Church (1789) on a hill probably goes back to three previous buildings (see above). St. Vitus was the mother parish for 10 settlements in the area. From the Romanesque first building (11th century), the tower and a mask console below the helmet, the so-called Bleckmaul, have been preserved . On the south facade there is a crucifixion group below the outer fresco of a protective mantle Madonna. The interior is from the 18th century.
  • The core of the cemetery also goes back to the medieval complex. The baroque entrance portal is decorated with sculptures of the church patron Vitus, the mother of God Mary and the plague saint Sebastian .
  • The structure of the lower town is historically younger. Today's half-timbered town hall (since 1938) was built around 1800 (originally forester's apartment, bakery and grocery store). The small onion dome with tower clock is an ingredient from 1940. In front of the town hall there is a weathered wayside shrine with a pietà .
  • The schoolhouse (brick building) dates from 1906.
  • Above the church, cycling and hiking trails lead to a nature trail through the orchards . The Sailauf pastor Bonaventura Ruf was an active promoter of the local apple and quince cultivation, which was an important branch of the community's economy until the 1950s. With the global fruit import since the 1960s, the orchard areas have gradually declined. The hiking trail leads past the Hofwiesenteiche (fishing pond), the Sämenhof (Aussiedlerhof with restaurant) and the Rottenberg chapel and thus connects Rottenberg , Eichenberg , the Sailaufer Forst and the Englander .

The Hartkoppe

The Hartkoppe (also called Fuchs quarry) is a rhyolite quarry that is still in operation near the village of Sailauf and is now a well-known site among mineral collectors for some rare minerals, including uranyl minerals, or the sailaufite named after this type of locality . The okrushite was also found and described for the first time in this quarry.

St. Vitus Church in the parish of Sailauf

There is a diverse club life in Sailauf, and the juniors from the Bavarian Red Cross are also known and successful across the region .

Two special features of Sailaufs are the annual Sailauf Knoblauchfest and the Tsukahara Festival.

There are two kindergartens and one elementary school at social institutions. The community is affiliated with the Association of Local Music Schools .

Sailauf became known nationwide in 2009 when the Church of the Resurrection, consecrated in 1971, was demolished against the protests of the faithful and citizens at the instigation of the Diocese of Würzburg . The church was an exposed concrete building based on a design by the architect Emil Mai. The building was considered a monument by the Bavarian State Office for Monument Preservation. A profane reuse of the church, advocated by the citizens, was rejected by the Catholic Church and the majority did not support the political community.
