history
Until the church is planted
As grave mounds on the Kohlplatte show, the municipality was already settled in the Bronze Age. Steinfeld was first mentioned in a document in 812; in documents from that time it is referred to as Steinvelt in Waldsassengove (i.e. Waldsassengau ). During the time of the tribal duchies , the place was in the Duchy of Franconia . By 1200 Steinfeld was already an independent parish; the Neustadt am Main monastery raised claims to tithe. Around 1336 the parish church was integrated into the Nuwenstat monastery (New Town). In 1614, the new building of the parish church of the Assumption was completed by Prince-Bishop Julius Echter . Clear indications of this are u. a. the building board on the south side of the nave and the tower in the typical real style . In 1842 the nave was extended. As part of the Hochstift Würzburg (Rothenfels Office), Steinfeld came to the Counts of Löwenstein-Wertheim in the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss 1803. From 1500 both belonged to the Franconian Empire . In 1806 it became a Baden media office, which was ceded to Austria in 1819, which left it to Bavaria. According to the parish edict of 1818, today's parish was established there.
Districts
The two districts of Hausen (since 1972) and Waldzell (since 1978) belong to the community today. The district of Hausen was first mentioned in a document around 800. Since 1192 Hausen was a branch church of the parish Wiesenfeld . The farmer's guide Kaspar Leyser comes from Hausen . He was beheaded in June 1525 together with two other rebel farmers in Karlstadt. In 1817 the church of St. Cyriakus (probably above a previously existing chapel) was completed, and in 1879 the church tower was raised. The district of Waldzell (formerly: Cella / Zell ) was probably also created in the 9th century as a branch of the Neustadt monastery. There are historical references to St. Gertraud . The Gertraudenkapelle there was built over a spring with the same name (1616 by Julius Echter , extension around 1849). Today's St. Vitus Church was built in 1612 by order of Julius Echter. Parts of the former monastery (built in 1707) are still preserved.
