geography

Geographical location

Village and Castle Mainberg ,
behind it, Schonungen; right the Main

Schonungen is about five kilometers east of Schweinfurt am Main , 219 m above sea level. NN. The old town center spreads out in the valley widening of the Steinach at its confluence with the Main. The new development areas grew up the slopes. Because of the view of the Main Valley and the city, Schonungen became a preferred place to live in the Schweinfurt bacon belt .

The large community covers about a third of the area of ​​the Schweinfurt district belonging to the Schweinfurt Rhön . The highest elevations are the Grainberg (408 m above sea level) and the Siebenkohlplatte (403 m above sea level). The plateau of the Schweinfurt Rhön is cut in the municipality by two deep stream valleys into three parts, on the heights of which there is little profitable agriculture. This is also where the district of Löffelsterz (384 m above sea level) is the highest church village in the district and a 24-hole golf course . The municipality is the Mühlviertel of the district. There are several old mills on the Steinach, which is rich in water, and especially on the Mühlbach . In the Mühlbachtal, the Hausen district is protected by a flood retention basin . In the south-west and west, the district extends across the Main and includes several quarry ponds and the Reichelshof in the Schonunger Bucht (see: Reichelshof ).

Schonungen is in the northeast of the Franconian wine-growing region . The vineyards are located on the steep south-facing slopes against the Main, with a total of three vineyards in the municipality. From the Schweinfurt city limits (from west to east) these are Mainberger Mainleite , Mainberger Schloßberg and Schonunger Kreuzberg . Outside of the Schlossberg, very little wine is grown today.

The Kaltenhof on the plateau between Mainberg and Schonungen belongs to the Benedictine abbey of Münsterschwarzach , in which the non-profit association LEVI e. V. maintains a housing project for the follow-up care and reintegration of people treated with psychiatry .

history

antiquity

During sand extraction work in Schonungen Bay in 1938, a 7 m long dugout canoe was excavated. It was made around 80 AD and was then probably used by Germanic fishermen on the Main until 120 AD . The find was of supraregional importance, as it was the first reliable evidence of the presence of the Teutons in this region.

middle Ages

Places with the ending ungen indicate Thuringian origins. The Thuringians ruled the northern Main Franconia until they were pushed back or overlaid by the Franks from the 6th century onwards.

Schonungen was founded in the 5th century . The name either means that it was a beautiful, stately settlement ( sconi = handsome, beautiful) or the settlement of a clan of Schön (Scono = personal name). (See also: Course of the Altmain )

The first known mention can be found in a document from 1194, with which Emperor Heinrich VI. Confirmed donations. In addition to the Counts of Henneberg, the lords of Lobdeburg , von Thundorf and von Wenkheim , the monasteries Theres , Ebrach and Heidenfeld and the Haug monastery in Würzburg were also wealthy in Schonungen .

Modern times

Old Steinach Bridge

In 1553, during the Markgräflerkrieg , Schonungen burned down almost completely. 300 years later, the place suffered this fate again: The cause was a flight of sparks on the railway line from Bamberg to Schweinfurt, which had opened a year earlier .

In 1818 the political municipality was established.

Modern

At the end of 2000, the community became known nationwide for the so-called Sattler contaminated site ; This is the name given to the extensive soil pollution with Schweinfurt green , as it was caused by the former paint factory Wilhelm Sattler in the period from 1814 to 1930 . On 24 October 2002, a report by the magazine was monitor the WDR about the Sattler legacy broadcast, the plantations brought nationwide in the headlines. Preparations for the renovation of the affected area began in October 2011, including the demolition of several buildings. Since the causer of the pollution is no longer tangible, the current law owners would be obliged to contribute to the renovation costs up to the amount of the value of their land. After long negotiations, a compromise was found between the property owners and the Free State of Bavaria , which limits the property owners' liability to € 13.33 per square meter.

Incorporations

On July 1, 1975, the previously independent community of Mainberg was incorporated. This happened against the will of the majority of the population, who wanted a connection to the city of Schweinfurt because of the close and historical ties. On May 1, 1978 Abersfeld, Forst, Hausen, Löffelsterz, Marktsteinach, Reichmannshausen and Waldsachsen were added. In addition to the districts, there are also the four hamlets Bayerhof, Kaltenhof, Rednershof and, on the other side of the Main, only accessible via Gochsheim or Sennfeld, Reichelshof in the municipality of Schonungen .

Religions

Old St. George's Church

In 1332 Schonungen became a parish through the foundation of the von Wenkheim couple. The old Neumann -style St. George's Church, which was destroyed by the village fire in 1853, was consecrated in 1858 after it was rebuilt. Its pointed Echterturm characterizes the old town center.

1959–1961 the new St. George's Church was built on Hauptstrasse. In addition to these two Catholic churches, the Evangelical Christ Church has existed on Schrotberg since 1954 . The Protestant parish of Schonungen was initially looked after by Schweinfurt St. Johannis until it received its own pastor after the Second World War . In 1953 the vicariate was raised to a parish office.

In the 18th century, with the help of the Lords of Thundorf, individual Jewish families settled there. In 1725 the Jewish community consisted of eight families. The prayer house they built fell victim to the village fire in 1853, but was rebuilt and re-consecrated in 1855/56. The Jewish community had its own teacher. The interior of the synagogue at Bachstrasse 21 was destroyed by SA men in the November pogrom in 1938 ; the building was converted into a car garage and a residential building after 1945. A plaque there commemorates the house of God and the Jewish fellow citizens who were victims of the Shoah .
