By cairns at Eichelsbach a relatively dense population for the time around 1600-700 can v. Prove. However, there was probably no continuous settlement in pre-Franconian times. The actual historical period only began here in the 6th century.

In the middle of the 13th century, Schippach was entered in the “Koppelfutter-Directory” of the sovereign, archbishop and elector of Mainz . At the end of the Old Kingdom , Schippach was part of the Prodzelten and Klingenberg winery of the Kurmainzer Obererzstift. Mayor and Zöller was Anton Mott.

Buildings

In 1752 the Catholic parish church of St. Antonius of Padua was built as a hall church with an aligned three-sided choir, gable roof with eight-sided slated roof turrets and onion hood, plastered masonry with stone edges and frames.

In 1915, initiated by a "Eucharistic covenant of love" founded by the Schippach virgin and prophet Barbara Weigand, according to Weigand, at the request of Jesus Christ, the construction of a "sacrament church" began, a colossal domed structure which should have been crowned by a golden monstrance . The building project was withdrawn from the church in autumn 1915 due to religious concerns. In the spring of 1916, the police stopped construction. Despite all of Weigand's threatening prophecies, construction was not continued in the decades that followed, also for financial reasons. Numerous hewn stone blocks from this time are still on the site.

It was not until 1960 that the Catholic parish church of St. Pius was built on the foundations of the Sacrament Church according to plans by the Würzburg cathedral master builder Hans Skull in the form of a round building made of interlocking room shells with indirectly illuminated glass fronts and bands of light to the flat, inclined pent roof made of formwork concrete with sandstone cladding.

In 1962, the Catholic parish church of St. Pius was added an octagonal chapel extension in a concrete frame construction with painted glass surface windows and a convent building of the Salvatorian Order (stretched two-storey flat roof building with sandstone-clad ground floor and plastered protruding upper storey).
