The place was referred to in older literature together with the neighboring villages of Herrnsheim, Iffigheim and Weigenheim as an imperial village that was only subordinate to the emperor. Today it is assumed that the emperor only managed Würzburg goods in part. In 1147 Eispertus de Souvensheim from a local noble family of Würzburg feudal people was first mentioned in the village.

After the decline of the Staufer shortly after 1260, the Hohenlohe took over the "imperial estates under the mountains" ( bona sub montibus ).

Viticulture

Seinsheim is a Franconian wine-growing town. The vineyards (approx. 40 hectares) are located east of the village on the slope of the Bullenheimer Berg on Keuperböden in west and south locations. The wine has been marketed under the name "Seinsheimer Hohenbühl" since the 1970s. Seinsheim is part of the Weinparadies area, until 2017 the winemakers were grouped together in the Steigerwald area. The gypsum keuper soils around Seinsheim are just as suitable for growing wine as the location in the Maingau climate zone, which is one of the warmest in Germany.

The people around Seinsheim have been viticulture since the early Middle Ages . The Franconian settlers probably brought the vine to the Main in the 7th century. In the Middle Ages, the region was part of the largest contiguous wine-growing region in the Holy Roman Empire. The people mostly operated part-time viticulture for self-sufficiency , at the same time export centers were already emerging, especially along the Main. The people of Seinsheim produced the wine on the one hand for the ecclesiastical and secular feudal lords (tithes, wine gins - a kind of lease), sold it to the wine trade and of course needed it for domestic use.

Viticulture experienced a major decline after secularization at the beginning of the 19th century. Above all, locations with less favorable climatic conditions were completely abandoned. In addition, the emergence of pests such as phylloxera made cultivation difficult . The Franconian wine-growing region was not able to consolidate again until the second half of the 20th century. The use of fertilizers and improved cultivation methods had contributed to this, as had the organization in cooperatives and the land consolidation of the 1970s.

Seinsheim is shaped by this centuries-old wine culture, so the church, which was newly built at the beginning of the 19th century, was completely basement in order to be able to store wine barrels here. The grape varieties Müller-Thurgau, Silvaner, Traminer and Bacchus (as white wine) as well as Dornfelder, Portugieser and Domina (as red wine) are grown on around 40 hectares in Seinsheim . The focus of the festival calendar is the Seinsheim Wine Festival , which is celebrated annually at the beginning of June.
