history
Schmalwasser emerged after a report by the rod Rother citizen Hans Pulff around 1500 by the settlement of a Hans Simon and a charcoal burner named Martin. Further settlements followed, probably by forest workers who settled there in the summer months. Around 1538 there were 10 to 12 houses in the village.
When the Würzburg prince-bishop Konrad II von Thüngen learned of the unauthorized founding of Schmalwasser in 1537 , he and his successor Melchior Zobel von Giebelstadt threatened to vacate the place; this could only be averted through numerous petitions and legal opinions.
The listing of the plague saint St. Sebastian suggests that the plague claimed deaths in Schmalwasser. Due to its remote location, the place was spared from the worse effects of the Thirty Years' War .
In pastoral care, Schmalwasser initially belonged to the parish of Steinach (today part of Bad Bocklet ). On May 5, 1716, construction began on the local church of the Assumption of Mary , which was consecrated by Würzburg Auxiliary Bishop Johann Bernhard Mayer on July 26, 1725 . After the place was assigned to the parish Burgwallbach a little later , it got its own chaplain in 1874.
Over the centuries, the inhabitants of the place lived mainly from agriculture and were affected by poverty and hunger. Some found work in the area, for example in Bad Kissingen , Bad Neustadt an der Saale , Schweinfurt , Ochsenfurt and Hesse. In the 20th century, poverty and famine came to an end; the condition of the place improved with the renovation of the houses and the construction of roads, water pipes and sewers.
In 1947 the church was expanded. Schmalwasser has belonged to the parish of Sandberg since 1970.
On January 1, 1972, Schmalwasser became a district of Sandberg as part of the municipal reform .
