history

In the middle of the 2nd century AD, the Romans built the Trennfurt Fort as part of the Main Limes . In 1751, a Roman sacrificial altar was found in Trennfurt, which is now walled in in the entrance area of ​​the Trennfurt Church of St. Maria Magdalena. According to the inscription, the consecration stone was donated to the gods Jupiter, Silvanus and the goddess Diana in 212 (according to Christian calendar) by a logging command of the 22nd Legion stationed in Mainz.

The village of Trennfurt developed to the southwest of the fort, apparently on a flat Main crossing, to which the part of the name “-furt” indicates. At the end of the 10th century the place Tribunfurt was mentioned in an interest register of the Benedictine Abbey of Seligenstadt . In 1255 the village was documented as Triebenfurt . At that time, Trennfurt belonged to the Klingenberg domain. After the taverns of Clingenburg died out, Trennfurt fell to the Lords of Bickenbach around 1260 . In 1486, when the Bickenbachers died out, the village became part of the Mainz spa state . In July 1806, Trennfurt first came to the Grand Duchy of Baden , but only a few months later in October of that year through an exchange contract with the Grand Duchy of Hesse . It was not until 1816 that Trennfurt finally became Bavarian . In the course of the administrative reforms in Bavaria, the community of Trennfurt came into being with the community edict of 1818.

In 1862 the district office of Obernburg was formed, on whose administrative area Trennfurt was located. As everywhere in the German Reich , the term district was introduced in 1939. Trennfurt was now one of 35 communities in the district of Obernburg am Main (license plate OBB ). With the dissolution of the district of Obernburg, Trennfurt became part of the newly formed district of Miltenberg (license plate MIL ).

On January 1, 1976, the independent community of Trennfurt was incorporated into Klingenberg am Main.

church

In the center of the old town is the Catholic parish church of St. Maria Magdalena. It belongs to the architectural monuments of the place and is registered under the number D-6-76-134-78 in the Bavarian monument list. The church was built between 1751 and 1755 in the Baroque style. The builder was Johann Martin Schmidt . It replaced a previous medieval building that was first mentioned in 1343. It was a fortified church with a fortified, walled churchyard. Remnants of this defensive wall are still visible and are also under monument protection. In 1951 the church was expanded. In 1975 the nave was set on fire by a lightning strike and destroyed along with the baroque interior. Of the works of art inside, only the mosaic pictures of the Way of the Cross, which the sculptor Hans König had created between 1952 and 1954, have survived . Only the tower could be saved from the flames and was preserved in its baroque shape. The nave was rebuilt with a modern interior.

coat of arms

In the past, only one seal of St. Mary Magdalene was known of Trennfurt : the image of Magdalena, who carried an ointment vessel in her right hand . Above the arms of the saints the letters T and F, plus three stars. The seal bore the inscription Maria Magdalena . Of the place seal itself, only impressions in documents have survived. In 1951, after long negotiations, Trennfurt received its own coat of arms . It showed the stars of the house of Erbach and the double bar of the Breuberg rule as well as the Mainz wheel . It was believed at the time that Erbach and Breuberg had rulership rights in Trennfurt earlier. Today this is no longer tenable, as it has been proven that the supreme court lord for Trennfurt were first the lords of the Clingenburg , later the archbishopric of Mainz . Erbach and Breuberg only had property and various rights in the place. The coat of arms was extinguished due to the community merger.

economy

Apart from a few quarries where sandstone was mined, Trennfurt was mainly characterized by agriculture until the end of the 19th century. There was also viticulture, but this almost completely lost its importance by the beginning of the 20th century. Only since a one-hectare vineyard was laid out in the "Einsiedel" corridor area in the second half of the 20th century, wine has been grown again in Trennfurt to a significant extent. It is sold as Klingenberg wine from the Einsiedel site.

Albertwerke

Listed gatehouse of the "Albertwerke" in Trennfurt

In 1899 Heinrich Albert founded the ceramic tile factory Tonindustrie Klingenberg (later Albertwerke , from 1982 Klingenberg Dekoramik ). The factory was not built in Klingenberg, but in Trennfurt, where the factory premises could be connected to the Aschaffenburg-Miltenberg railway line. A girls' home for young workers and a factory settlement were also built. With around 400 jobs, the Albertwerke were the largest employer in Trennfurt for several decades. After Ernst Albert, the son of the company founder, had a fatal accident while mountain climbing in Tyrol in 1911, his widow Katharina took over the management of the company. In 1923 she included Vital Daelen, her son from her first marriage, in the management. In the Great Depression after 1929 the company collapsed. In 1933, their children Elisabeth Albert (later married Ackermann, then Furtwängler) and Heinz Albert bought the factory from the bankruptcy estate and ran it together with their half-brother Vital Daelen as Albertwerke . At the end of the 1950s, Vital Daelen's son Reiner Daelen and Peter Ackermann, Elisabeth Albert's eldest son from her first marriage to Hans Ackermann, took over the management. In 1974 Reiner Daelen switched to Glyco-Metallwerke. Peter Ackermann's brother Thomas Ackermann took his place. In 1978 the third brother, Christoph Ackermann, also took over the management of the company. In the 1980s they left the management after the company was sold.

In 1900 the factory provided 110 jobs with an annual production of 72,000 square meters of tiles, in 1949 there were 380 jobs, by 1998 this number had fallen to 130, while the production capacity rose to 1.5 million square meters of tiles per year. In 1981 the company was sold to the Pegulan group and in 1986 to the Swedish group Tarkett. In 1995 the plant was taken over by the Italian Ricchetti Group. In 2018, the annual turnover of Klingenberg Dekoramik was 12.5 million euros. In 2019, Ricchetti sold the company, which was in financial difficulties with around 100 jobs left, to Roy Ceramics Frankfurt for one euro, which promised new investments.

As an industrial monument, the Albertwerke are part of the Route of Industrial Culture Rhine-Main Bavarian Lower Main .

WIKA

The WIKA plant in Trennfurt

In the 1960s, the measuring device manufacturer WIKA, founded in 1946 by Alexander Wiegand and Philipp Kachel, built its main plant in Trennfurt. Konrad Wiegand, the son of the company founder, who has headed the company since 1951, relied heavily on expansion. After Konrad Wiegand was shot by his chief accountant, his widow Ursula Wiegand took over the management in 1967 and continued the course of expansion. Alexander Wiegand, the grandson of the company founder of the same name, has headed the company since her death in 1996.

In 2018, around 2000 of the company's 9,300 employees worldwide worked at the Trennfurt plant, with annual sales of around 890 million euros in 2017. The WIKA plant is thus the largest employer in Trennfurt.

Ortneckname

The Trennfurters are called "Turks" with the local niche name . The name is said to come from the fact that maize was grown in the region for the first time in Trennfurt, formerly also known as "Turkenkorn". The nickname is reflected in the name of the local carnival club, the Trennfurter Türkenclub and the Türkenlied , the local carnival song, with the refrain "... then we are still the Trennfurt Turks, vallerie, vallera."

Say about the male Rebhecken

A border dispute between Trennfurt and Wörth is the background of the legend of the "Rebheckenmännchen", which Valentin Pfeifer has included in his Spessart saga collection. The dispute over the possession of some vine hedges should be ended by an oath of the oldest inhabitant of the two places. On the controversial vine hedges, he swore that he was "on Wörther earth". However, the man came from Wörth and had filled his boots with soil from there before taking his oath. For his perjury he must now haunt as a "Rebheckenmännchen".
