history

Until the church is planted

In 789, Fladungen was first mentioned in a document from the Fulda monastery . During the time of the tribal duchies, the place was in the Duchy of Franconia . In 1335, Emperor Ludwig the Bavarian granted city rights. The ownership of the city was disputed between the Würzburg bishop and the prince abbot of Fulda. In 1335 noble Heinrich von Fladungen was given the tithe and the mayor's office over Hildenburg . When the office of Fladungen with Hildenburg was pledged to the Counts of Henneberg -Aschach (later called Henneberg-Römhild) in 1435 , Adolf Marschalk von Ostheim was appointed official there. Through an inheritance from the county of Henneberg-Römhild, Fladungen came to the "Münnerstädter Teil" under Count Otto von Henneberg-Römhild in 1468. Fladungen later came back to the Würzburg Monastery by redeeming the pledge . A medieval leprosarium known as the infirmary has been found in Fladungen since 1534 .

Leubach, St. Vitus Church, built in 1797.

In the year 1596 the office Hildenburg was still mentioned, but already in the year 1600 the official lived in Fladungen. As the office of the Hochstift Würzburg, which belonged to the Franconian Imperial Circle , Fladungen was Bavarian for a short time after the secularization in 1803. In 1805 it was given to Archduke Ferdinand of Tuscany to form the Grand Duchy of Würzburg . The imperial knighthood village of Sands of the Lords of Stein came in 1808 through an exchange of territory from the Amt Maßfeld in the Duchy of Saxony-Meiningen to the Grand Duchy of Würzburg. During this time, Weimarschmieden must also have come to Würzburg from the back court of the Lichtenberg district in the Duchy of Saxony-Weimar-Eisenach .

Since the treaties of Paris in 1814 , the town of Fladungen and the surrounding area have finally belonged to Bavaria . In 1818 the political municipality was established.

20th century

Since the opening of the inner German border in 1989, Fladungen is no longer in the border area . In 1992 the city was awarded the Europa Nostra Medal .

Incorporations

On July 1, 1971, in the course of the regional reform in Bavaria, the previously independent communities Sands and Weimarschmieden were incorporated. On January 1, 1972, the Brüchs, Leubach and Oberfladungen were added. Rüdenschenken followed on April 1, 1973. The series of incorporations was completed with the incorporation of Heufurt on May 1, 1978.
