history

Until the church is planted

Unsleben is mentioned for the first time in a document that has survived and which Henricus von Usleibe signed in 1162.

The place name Unsleben is derived from a person called "Usso", whose heirs (old high: leiba = heir) lived here.

The old spelling was Usleybe, Usleibe, Osleibe, Usleuben and many other variations. In 1593 the name Unßleben appears; In 1802, the spelling Unsleben finally became established.

The former Hochstift Würzburg shared rulership with the Barons von Habermann until it was secularized in 1803 in favor of Bavaria. In 1805 the area was exchanged with Tyrol and finally fell to Bavaria in 1814 with the rights of von Habermann. In the course of the administrative reforms in Bavaria, today's municipality was created with the municipal edict of 1818.

Starting with the church planting

Unsleben was a closed village until after the Wars of Liberation , around 1820, without an actual “city wall”, but with four gates in the four directions of the wind. The upper gate is mentioned in a document as early as 1404. An upper gate only makes sense if the other gates and thus the entire village landscape, as shown in 1830, have already existed. This means that there were around 160 residential buildings in which an average of five people lived and thus a population of around 800 people had lived in Unsleben for at least 1400. This is also reflected in the tax list around 1440 and lists on the occasion of hereditary homage in the 16th and 17th centuries.

An expansion of the north-south axis at both ends did not take place until around 1830 with the construction of the “tavern” on the other side of the Au gate by Johannes Dorst and at the south end beyond the Els gate with a house with a forge owned by Joseph Schmitt (today Hauptstr. 2). Across the Elsbrücke, a house was built around 1868 by the doctor Dr. Kilian Hahn. The expansion to the west took place much later with the construction of the brickworks around 1880 and the neighboring farm by Jesssenberger. Before the First World War there were already a few more houses beyond the "Schenke" against Mittelstreu . The post office was built in 1927/28. With the gym building in the thirties, a few residential buildings were also built in Bahnhofstrasse.

Jewish families

During the time of National Socialism , the local Jewish families were persecuted, driven into emigration or murdered. Your synagogue on the corner of Schlossgasse and Kemenate was desecrated by SA men during the November pogrom in 1938 . A plaque on the building, which is now a farmer's house, reminds of its former function.
