Todtenweisach is a district of the Lower Franconian market Maroldsweisach in the Haßberge district .

geography

The village is located in the north-eastern part of the district on the middle reaches of the Weisach . The federal road 279 runs through the village from Breitengüßbach to Bad Neustadt an der Saale . The brook and the main road cut Todtenweisach into two parts of different sizes. Communal roads lead to Marbach and Geroldswind .

history

The place was probably founded by a Franconian landlord who was possibly called Totnan or named his land after the deacon Totnan . The latter would indicate a foundation towards the end of the 7th century, when the Franconian apostle Kilian evangelized with his companions Kolonat and Totnan in Lower Franconia. Another interpretation of the place name suggests the reference to a dead stream arm of the Weisach.

The first documented mention was in 1232 in a certificate of division of the Würzburg bishop Hermann , in which Ebern was separated from the parish Pfarrweisach and among other things "Totenwissa" remained with the mother church. In 1303 Theino and Karl von Lichtenstein received half of the village "Totenwisa". In 1393 Wilhelm von Stein acquired “a well located in the village of Totenwisach”, which in 1470 was largely owned by the von Stein family. In 1575, some of the people behind were liable to tax in the Diocese of Würzburg . Looting and epidemics such as the plague reduced the population to six households in 1674 during the Thirty Years War .

In 1818 the community association between Todtenweisach and Wüstenbirkach was established. In 1820 Todtenweisach joined the Gückelhirn community association founded in 1818 , which was incorporated into the newly created Bavarian district office of Ebern in 1862 .

In 1871 the place had 77 inhabitants and 49 buildings. The village belonged to the district of the Catholic parish in Pfarrweisach, 5.5 kilometers away . The responsible Evangelical Lutheran parish was in Altenstein, 3.5 kilometers away . In 1897 Todtenweisach was connected to the railway network with the Breitengüßbach – Maroldsweisach railway. In 1900 the rural community Gückelhirn had 233 inhabitants, 88 of whom were Catholic. The district of Todtenweisach had 72 inhabitants in 12 residential buildings. In 1922 it was connected to the electricity network. In 1925, 76 people lived in 13 residential buildings in the village. Todtenweisach has been part of the former Catholic chaplaincy Herz-Jesu in Maroldsweisach since 1912, which was elevated to a parish in 1951.

In 1950 there were 14 residential buildings with 105 inhabitants in the village. In 1970 Todtenweisach had 68 inhabitants and in 1987 47 inhabitants and 17 residential buildings with 19 apartments. On July 1, 1972, the district of Ebern was dissolved and Gückelhirn came to the Haßberg district. On July 1, 1975, the municipality was incorporated with its district Todtenweisach to Maroldsweisach.

On May 27, 1988, passenger traffic was stopped on the railway line between Ebern and Maroldsweisach. Freight traffic was carried out until November 21, 2001. In 2003 the tracks were closed and dismantled.

school

The Catholic children have been attending the Geroldswinder School, 1.5 kilometers away, since 1674 and the Protestant children in Junkersdorf, four kilometers away, where funerals were held until 1922. In 1861 Todtenweisach received its own Protestant school in a one-story, former farmhouse. Inadequate pay and poor living conditions resulted in frequent teacher changes. In 1911 alone there were seven educators. A new school building, which was also to serve as a prayer and community center, was built in 1931 according to plans by Fritz Fuchsenberger . Two bells, cast by Schilling in Apolda , with the inscriptions “Let the little children come to me” and “Glory to God on high” were placed in the roof turret. In 1934 the school was sold to the rural community of Gückelhirn. In 1957, the teacher Redwitz founded a community library in the schoolhouse. In 1968 the school was closed.

Former forester's house

Two architectural monuments are listed in the Bavarian list of monuments . This includes a single-storey half-timbered building with a half-hipped mansard roof, which was built around 1800.
