history

Beginnings and Middle Ages

When the settlement in the area of ​​today's Stangenroth began in the salt forest is not exactly certain. There is much to suggest that the birth of the village goes back to the beginning of the 13th century. The village in 1244 as half the village in a deed was first documented Otto of Botenlauben the nun Roth was bequeathed. It is believed that the entire village consisted of six or eight farmhouses at that time. In 1264 the ministerials from Burkardroth Vogt Albert and his son Heinrich gave away their property, on which part of Stangenroth lay, to the Frauenroth monastery.

Modern times

In 1574 Stangenroth belonged to the office of Aschach , this is evident from the book of hereditary homage by Julius Echter , the prince-bishop of Würzburg. The Central Court was also located in Aschach . At the head was the Zentgraf chosen by the free farmers. At his side he had 14 lay judges , one of whom was also allowed to represent Stangenroth. During the Thirty Years War the village was attacked by the Swedes and marauders who were housed in the Aschach and Bad Kissingen offices. There were also rapes here , as evidenced by the illegitimate births in the Burkardrother baptismal register. Stangenroth had decimated considerably in the war years, because in 1673 the village only had 348 inhabitants.

In 1730 the black plague raged in Stangenroth. Since it was no longer possible to coffin the dead, the corpses were brought to Burkardroth, wrapped in cloths, to the cemetery, where they were buried in mass graves. In addition, a cattle disease is reported during this time. The dead carcasses were buried in a depression on the route to Gefäll below today's sports field.

On May 18, 1738, the Sunday before Pentecost, a conflagration destroyed 85 houses, 83 barns, 85 pigsties and 85 ovens in just one hour. In addition, 14 people were killed. Oral tradition says that the fire started during Sunday services when a housewife accidentally burned the butter while cooking. According to tradition, after a fruitless attempt to extinguish the burning fat with water, the housewife fled the house with burning clothes. The villagers are said to have been very wealthy before the fire. When the place was rebuilt with mud houses, a fire water pond was created in its center . Oral tradition also reports that three storks native to Stangenroth left the place three days before the catastrophe and never returned.

The church was built in 1747 and contains a Madonna from 1771. The first school was built in 1819; a new school building was built in 1908 and expanded in 1959.

In 1574, 373 people lived in 81 households in Burkardroth and 336 people in 73 households in Stangenroth, but these numbers rose to 543 people in 118 households in Stangenroth in 1623. It was the most populous of the three former founding towns of the Burkardroth chaplain. This encouraged the desire in Stangenroth to break away from Burkardroth and to become independent. This plan could only be implemented in the next century and provoked Burkardroth's resistance, which was mainly slowed down by the serious illness of the Burkardroth priest and in 1792 made a separation decree by the Würzburg Prince-Bishop Franz Ludwig von Erthal necessary. Thirty years later the Burkardroth pastor Klee complained that the income of his parish had fallen by half.

Third Reich and World War II

On August 1, 1933, a camp of the "Association for Voluntary Labor Service Lower Franconia" was set up in Stangenroth. This was a cover organization of the NSDAP to infiltrate the voluntary labor service founded in the Weimar Republic . On September 15, 1933, the camp became a unit of the Reich Labor Service (RAD) and was given the department number 4/283 and the name "Johann Bleyer, the Hungarian German". At the beginning of 1937 the RAD closed the camp due to a lack of work, but from August 1, 1937 until the end of the war it was used again for young women.

When a Boeing B-17 from the 384th Bomber Group of the USAAF participated in the attack on Schweinfurt on August 17, 1943 during the Second World War , the bomber was hit by anti-aircraft fire in the operational area and then shot down by a Messerschmitt Me 110 of the 101st night fighter wing. Two of the ten crew members were killed in the crash in a forest area near Stangenroth, and one of the eight survivors was beaten by a local. Both dead were first buried in the cemetery, later exhumed and transferred by the Americans.

post war period

On May 1, 1978, the place was incorporated into Burkardroth as part of the municipal reform. In October 1971 surveys and votes had taken place in the villages. Of the 262 votes cast in Stangenroth, 141 were in favor of incorporation; the local council, however, rejected the incorporation, which finally took place on January 1, 1978 due to an ordinance of the government of Lower Franconia.

Buildings and plants

St. Sebastian Church

→ Main article : St. Sebastian (Stangenroth)

The Stangenrother St. Sebastian Church was built after a previous building was demolished in 1747. The high altar was erected in August 1890; one of the holy figures represents Saint Sebastian , the patron saint of the church. In 1899 the nave of the church was enlarged and a church tower was built; In 1910 the church building was laterally extended. The access to the pulpit is walled up because Pastor Gloos, who worked in Stangenroth from 1933 to 1965, used to preach from the altar.

Today's Wendelinus Chapel, also known as the “Platten-Heiligen-Häusle”, from 1977 replaces two previous buildings from the 17th century and from 1927.

The Heimkehrerkapelle was founded in 1946 to thank so many local men who had returned from World War II and that Stangenroth was not destroyed during the war. It replaced the Chapel of Sorrows, which was also located on the old road to the basalt works, but offset by 50 meters towards the village. A listed way of the cross consisting of 13 stations on Kapellenweg was made in 1958 by Gebhard Keßler. In front of the chapel there are seven pain stations by Alfred Keßler.
