geography
location
Sennfeld is located to the left of the Main in the Schweinfurt Basin and does not quite reach today's banks of the Main, but is separated from the river bank by a narrow strip of the Schweinfurt area, sometimes only a few meters long. The historic town center is only 2 km east-south-east of the Schweinfurt market square and was founded on a sandbank.
The district borders on the Schweinfurt city park fortifications . In the north of the village is the Sennfelder Seenkranz , which shows the course of an old Main . At the eastern border of the town, the area reaches 262 m above sea level. NN its highest point. The west of the municipal area, with leisure facilities and the commercial area, forms a functional unit with Schweinfurt, with an externally imperceptible border (see: Hafen-Ost ). In the east lies the Reichelshof , which belongs to Schonungen , but is claimed by Sennfeld.
Neighboring communities
Neighboring communities are (starting from the north clockwise): Schonungen , Gochsheim and Schweinfurt .
history
Until the church is planted
The historical development of the community is closely linked to the neighboring towns of Schweinfurt (former imperial city ) and Gochsheim (former free imperial village). Like its neighbor Gochsheim, the village bears the attribute "formerly imperial direct and free imperial village ".
The first documentary mention was in 1094: Emperor Heinrich IV confirmed donations to Theres Monastery from Botho of Carinthia and his wife Judith, Margravine of Schweinfurt, also in "Sendelveit". In 1282 the village was first mentioned in a document by an imperial bailiff in Schweinfurt, to which the two villages Sennfeld and Gochsheim belonged.
King Albrecht pledged the Reichsvogtei Schweinfurt with the two villages of Sennfeld and Gochsheim to the Bishopric of Würzburg in 1304/05. In 1309 this pledge changed to the Counts of Henneberg . In a Henneberger Urbar ( land register ) it was reported in 1317 that there is a “court because of the empire” in Sennfeld. Therefore Sennfeld could be called Reichsdorf from this time on. The imperial city of Schweinfurt freed itself in 1386 with Sennfeld and Gochsheim with their own funds from the pledge.
In 1540 the parish broke away from its mother church in Gochsheim. The imperial villages of Sennfeld and Gochsheim came under the protection and patronage of the Würzburg prince-bishop Julius Echter in 1575 , who, contrary to his contractual obligations, did not want to recognize the imperial and religious freedom of the two villages. In 1635 the village lost its imperial freedom because Emperor Ferdinand II gave the two imperial villages of Sennfeld and Gochsheim to the Würzburg Prince-Bishop Franz Graf von Hatzfeld in a fiefdom .
During the Second Margrave War in 1553, Swiss guardsmen stayed in the village with their horses, which the Swiss road gives a clue.
In January 1648, Swedish soldiers in Sennfeld destroyed all buildings except three houses to prevent enemy troops from being entrenched.
On January 23, 1649, the 29 remaining local neighbors elected their new mayor . On August 14, 1649, imperial freedom was regained by a restitution commission in Schweinfurt. The plant dance from this time is still danced at the church consecration and is a symbol of the regained freedom of the empire. In 1802 the village lost it again and it was incorporated into the Electorate of Bavaria .
In 1810 the settlement came to the Grand Duchy of Würzburg ; it was finally incorporated into the Kingdom of Bavaria in 1814 . In 1818 the political municipality was established.
19th and 20th centuries
In 1850 a kindergarten was established as one of the first in Bavaria. On November 23, 1903, the Schweinfurt - Gerolzhofen railway line was opened via Sennfeld.
During the Second World War , the municipality of Sennfeld suffered a lot from the bombing raids on Schweinfurt due to its proximity to the industrial city of Schweinfurt. On March 31, 1944, during an air raid, an English air mine and a large number of explosive , incendiary and phosphor bombs fell on the old village center. Many historical monuments such as the old Evangelical Lutheran Trinity Church , the town hall and the old school were destroyed. In addition, 203 residential buildings were damaged in this attack, of which 37 were completely destroyed, 42 seriously and 124 slightly damaged. Several dozen utility buildings such as agricultural outbuildings, barns and greenhouses were also affected. Along with attacks on August 17, 1943 (as part of Operation Double Strike ) and February 24, 1944, three air mines, 35 explosives, 550 phosphorus and 600 stick incendiary bombs fell on the community of Sennfeld.
The village, which at that time had about 2800 inhabitants, was handed over to American troops on April 12, 1945.
During the regional reform in Bavaria , the Free State had already decided to incorporate Sennfeld, Niederwerrn and Dittelbrunn into Schweinfurt. Afterwards, the decision was completely reversed on the instructions of the native Niederwerrn State Secretary Erwin Lauerbach .

Bad Sennfeld
The former spa house is located 500 m east of the old village center, on the edge of the Sennfeld special crops , at the former Weiherleinsmühle. In 1809 the Schweinfurt city physicist Elias Schmidt became aware of the well-known mineral spring in Sennfeld. In 1841, Carl Gottfried Träger from Schweinfurt had the spring grasped and set up a real bath. In the village lake, an area of the Sennfelder Seenkranz , 14 thermal springs were enclosed. The spa with its sulfur springs and mud applications opened in 1865. Modeled on the nearby Bad Kissingen were Kurkonzerte organized. In 1927 the spa was expanded.
In the 1950s, the spa was closed. Since then, the healing water has been flowing unused into the Sennfelder See . The old spa house, with a small spa park and old trees, is still used for gastronomic purposes.

Dispute over reactivation of the Steigerwaldbahn
For a long time there have been initiatives to reactivate passenger traffic on the closed Kitzingen – Schweinfurt railway line, the so-called Lower Steigerwald Railway or, for short, the Steigerwald Railway . At the beginning of 2019, a violent dispute broke out that has continued to this day and became a political issue . In August 2019, a new concept for reactivation was finally presented by the traffic planner Robert Wittek-Brix. A regional tram as an integral train that would run from Kitzingen from Schweinfurt Sennfeld station in one branch on the existing railway line to Schweinfurt main station and in a second branch would be connected to the Schweinfurt – Meiningen railway line via Schweinfurt city center .
