history

Beginnings

The location of today's Terzenbrunn chapel has been known since the 17th century as a place of grace located at a spring, where a small chapel was already located at that time. According to legend, Gudelinde, the wife of Iring, the lord of the Eiringsburg castle , got lost while riding. Iring is said to have gone in search of her and vowed to build a chapel at the place where he would find her. The first verifiable evidence comes from 1651 for an offering box and from 1752 for a small chapel or a holy house.

The name of the chapel, which is said to have healing powers when trying to have children or curing illnesses, changed from “Datzenbrünn” to “Derzenbrunn” to “Terzenbrunn”. One theory says that the name comes from a customs post that collected taxes for Endres von Eltingshausen as a Würzburg fief in the 14th century ; from "Datz (en)", the name for the customs at that time or its delivery, the name of the place of grace then emerged.

According to another legend, the name of the chapel comes from an incident from the Thirty Years' War . A group of ten women are said to have found refuge in the chapel on the run from the approaching Swedes. One of the Swedish soldiers is said to have fallen while mocking the women when entering the chapel and suffered death in the process. According to another version of the legend, he was one of Klausner nursed back to health and well-known to Christianity.

The mention of a desert in a Fulda tradition from the years 815 and 816 (“In page Salageue ad Arinebrunnen” or “Arnebrunnen” or “Arinsbrunnen”) could refer to the Terzenbrunn ; however, a connection with the place of grace or even with Arnshausen has not been proven with certainty. The situation is similar with a mention of April 29, 1503 regarding the exchange of a chapel called Stae Crucis by Vicar Johann Eckart with the Herbstädter pastor Georg Beutler. However, since the document to which R. Emmerich refers in his chronicle of the village of Arnshausen was lost during the bombing of Würzburg in the Second World War , it is unclear whether it is Terzenbrunn or a chapel that has since disappeared acts.

New building from 1861

Lourdes grotto of Terzenbrunn was built in 1898 .
Madonna ( Valentin Weidner , 1898).
Mount of Olives grotto from 1900.

At the beginning of the 19th century, the Arnshausen pastor Philipp Carl Manger complained that both the spatial distance of the chapel and the small size of the chapel, which only offered space for four people, led to immoral behavior on the part of his faithful. However, the situation persisted because the Königl, based in Euerdorf . The district court feared that the believers would be offended in their religious feelings when the chapel was relocated next to the Arnshausen church.

An order to rebuild the chapel, with planning by the Kissinger building inspector Rösser, was issued on March 29, 1861. It was financed through donations and a collection in the neighboring communities. On July 24, 1861, the foundation stone was laid, into which coins from 1861 were inserted. On November 4, 1861, the new chapel, consecrated to the Holy Cross and St. Anthony , was inaugurated . On November 20, 1861, the previous well was buried; In 1862 a new well was built.

After 1861

On October 5, 1862, a Stations of the Cross created by the Munich painter Georg Grumbach and provided with candlesticks for each station was inaugurated at the chapel; the way of the cross is now lost. In the same year five-wound stations made of wood were built in the forest path behind the Terzenbrunn ; they were replaced by sheet metal stations in 1885.

A Lourdes grotto with a statue of Mary created by Valentin Weidner was built over the spring, which was captured in 1805 (the stones required for the grotto were taken from the hospital wood behind the " black puddle " , according to the Arnshausen parish archives ). On July 21, 1898, the 7 to 8 quintals heavy statue of Mary made of soap stone was brought in a ceremonial procession from Bad Kissingen to Terzenbrunn . The inauguration of the Lourdes Grotto took place on August 21, 1898. In the spring of 1900, the Mount of Olives Grotto was another grotto at Terzenbrunn.

As part of the connection of the nearby Eltingshausen to the rail network between 1869 and 1871, the railway line leading past Terzenbrunn was built , during the construction of which the Oerlenbach citizen Josef Kuhn was killed by falling earth. The water shortage that has always prevailed in Eltingshausen came to a head in 1896 so that the residents of the village obtained their drinking water from the Terzenbrunn .

During a renovation of the Terzenbrunn in 1897, the porch supported by columns was walled up, which was reversed during a further renovation in 1969. The chapel's bell tower was built in September 1903. According to a legend, its bell, which was installed in 1904 and bears the year "1518", comes from the north tower of the Botenlauben castle ruins , which was once used as the castle's house chapel. Another renovation at Terzenbrunn took place in 1926.

In 1932, Pastor Josef Drechsel complained about noisy sporting events at Terzenbrunn and suggested that they be banned within a radius of 200 meters.

Second World War

During the Second World War , the chapel served as a mock station from 1939 to distract enemy aircraft from Arnshausen and, on the other hand, from the tank farms in nearby Oerlenbach . The embankment of the rails that led directly past the chapel can still be seen today. Remnants of splinter trenches and shelters suggest that tank wagons and goods wagons were built.

To save the gazebo bell from being scrapped by the state, it was temporarily removed from the bell tower.

After 1945

A renovation in 1969 gave the Terzenbrunn a fundamentally new look. The walling up of the vestibule and the votive panels there were removed, and the interior of the chapel was redesigned. A gutter was attached to the roof to protect against moisture, and the roof itself was given a special color. Images that had often been victims of robbery in the past were replaced by portraits that were painted directly on the wall by the painter Otto Kraus.

But burglaries continued to take place at Terzenbrunn, which, in addition to the sacrificial stock, now also aimed at the artistic decoration of the chapel. Pastor Georg Michael Stock complained about such incidents from 1905 and 1906. Other incidents of this type occurred in 1975 and the early 1980s.

Since 2002 the Terzenbrunn has been one of the stations of the " Franconian Marienweg ".

In October 2011 a restoration of the statue of the Virgin Mary created by Valentin Weidner and located in the grotto began. However, the originally envisaged method of admitting the statue proved impractical, so linseed oil was used instead . Since the end of the restoration, originally scheduled for May 1st, was delayed due to the desired intensive penetration of the oil into the material of the statue, the Madonna of the Terzenbrunn was temporarily replaced by the figure of the Virgin in the parish of the Bad Kissingen parish. After the renovation was completed, the Madonna was consecrated on June 1, 2014 at Terzenbrunn.
