Sommerhausen is a market in the Lower Franconian district of Würzburg and a member of the Eibelstadt administrative community .

geography

Sommerhausen is located on the right bank of the Main, 13 kilometers south of Würzburg. In addition to viticulture , tourism and the art scene play a major role. Sommerhausen is enclosed by Ochsenfurt in the east and south, and Eibelstadt borders the municipality in the north . Winterhausen is located directly opposite Sommerhausen, on the west bank of the Main . The strange names of the two villages have their origins in the church patrons. The patron saint of summer houses, Bartholomäus, has his day of remembrance in summer (August 24th), and the patron saint of winter houses, Nikolaus, in winter (December 6th).

history

Until the church is planted

Sommerhausen has been an important municipality on the Main since the Middle Ages. It was not subordinate to the Prince-Bishop of Würzburg ; the residents committed themselves to the Reformation , so that Sommerhausen is today a Protestant enclave in the predominantly Catholic Main Franconia .

The Limpurg taverns came to Sommerhausen in 1413 through the marriage of Schenken Friedrich to Elisabetha von Hohenlohe . As part of the Speckfeld rule mediated by Bavaria , the heirs of Count Schenk von Limpurg (first Count Pückler, then Count Rechteren-Limpurg ), Sommerhausen belonged to the Franconian Empire from 1500 . In 1810 it came to the Grand Duchy of Würzburg when it was reorganized, and in 1814 it fell back to Bavaria. In the course of the administrative reforms in Bavaria, today's municipality was created with the municipal edict of 1818.

Nestled in the valley of the Main under vineyards, the place has been the figurehead of Franconian romanticism for decades. The medieval city wall has been preserved. All the buildings in the center of the village in the narrow, winding streets look back on several hundred years of history. The town hall dates from the 16th century.

Administrative community

Until the regional reform in 1972, Sommerhausen belonged to the district of Ochsenfurt , and since then to the district of Würzburg.
Sommerhausen has been a member of the Eibelstadt administrative association , which also includes Eibelstadt, Winterhausen and Frickenhausen am Main , since 1978 .

coat of arms

The description of the municipal coat of arms (derived from the seal), which has been in use since the 17th century, reads: “Divided by blue and silver; above the radiant, face golden sun, below a blue grape hanging from a green vine between two green leaves ”.

Town twinning

We have had a partnership with the French community of Vernou-sur-Brenne (near Tours) since 1992 . Both places have a partnership association with numerous members who visit each other alternately year after year. Like Sommerhausen, Vernou-sur-Brenne is a wine-growing community with a high proportion of artistically active residents. The wine is marketed under the Vouvray appellation. (Vouvray is the partner municipality of Randersacker ) The place looks back on a long history and partly has a very historical building fabric. It used to be the summer residence of the Bishops of Tours.

Culture and sights

St. Bartholomew Church

Sommerhausen is a winegrowing village with a completely preserved or restored village wall, on the inside of which a charming path runs. The main gate has numerous old high water marks .

St. Bartholomew Church

A first Bartholomäuskirche was built around 1260; the tower of her still stands. The nave was replaced by a new building between 1666 and 1672. Its foundations and the overall planning and execution were poor; the walls began to slope. During a severe storm in 1739, large parts of this second Bartholomew Church collapsed. According to plans by Leopoldo Retti , a new, now third nave was built in 1739/1740. The pulpit, created by Georg Brenck the Younger in 1621, is well worth seeing with numerous wood-carved depictions of biblical people and events. The pulpit clock is also preserved, which urged the pastor to adhere to the given duration of the sermon.

theatre

Gate tower theater Sommerhausen

After the Second World War, several homeland films were shot there, but his father was particularly well known with Marianne Koch and Heinz Rühmann , for whom Sommerhausen and Marktbreit served as a backdrop. 1950 taught Luigi Malipiero in the tower above the Würzburgtor the Torturmtheater one with 50 seats and a tiny stage. Malipiero made Sommerhausen famous and achieved an almost legendary reputation during his lifetime, among theater fans as well as young theater people. Actors, set designers and directors such as Hannes Fabig did his apprenticeship. After the death of the first principal in 1975, Veit Relin took over the gate tower theater.

Mathias Repiscus founded the Bockshorn cabaret stage in 1984 in a vaulted cellar directly opposite the gate tower theater, with almost a hundred seats. In 1987 Dieter Nuhr had his first appearances as a cabaret artist there. The fenugreek made Sommerhausen even better known at times than the gate tower theater under Veit Relin. At the beginning of October 2001 the stage moved to Würzburg.

Today Sommerhausen Ort has three theaters, several galleries and, in addition to original wine bars, also some high-priced restaurants and hotels.

Architectural monuments

Council Library

In 1920, an old cabinet with hundreds of prints from the 16th century and some incunabula was discovered in the town hall . This old library had been forgotten since the early 17th century. But the books were in very good condition. In 1950, the cupboard and books were overturned and used as a stage for theater performances. The valuable library was later placed in a secure archive room in the town hall.

Nature and leisure facilities

  • Environment station and zoo (formerly wildlife park) Sommerhausen (An der Tränk). An ecological, integrative center that has been funded by the Bavarian State Ministry for Regional Development and Environmental Issues since February 1998 and is supported by the Mainfränkische Werkstätten in Würzburg. The zoo is managed by Thomas Dodenhoff.

Regular events

A Christmas market takes place in Sommerhausen , which extends practically over the entire old town center and includes the church, galleries, wine shops, etc. Another event is the Kirchweih , which always takes place in October at the shooting range.
