history

Until the church is planted

Secularized as the office of the Hochstift Fulda in favor of Archduke Ferdinand of Orange in 1803, it fell to France in 1806 as part of the province de Fulde (from 1810 a department of the Grand Duchy of Frankfurt of the Prince Primate von Dalberg) and was assigned to Austria at the Vienna Congress in 1815. The town has belonged to Bavaria since the Treaty of Munich in 1816.

Incorporations

The unified municipality of Wartmannsroth was formed by the government of Lower Franconia with effect from May 1, 1978 from the formerly independent municipalities of Dittlofsroda, Schwärzelbach (with Neuwirtshaus), Waizenbach, Wartmannsroth (with Völkersleier and Heiligkreuz) and Windheim. Völkersleier and Heiligkreuz were incorporated into the municipality of Wartmannsroth on January 1st and July 1st, 1972 respectively.

Religions

The Catholics in the large parish belong to the parishes of St. Mauritius Schwärzelbach, St. Agidius Windheim and St. Andreas Wartmannsroth with the St. Sebastian branch in Völkersleier of the dean's office in Hammelburg in the Diocese of Würzburg . The Protestant parish Dittlofsroda with churches in Dittlofsroda, Waizenbach and Völkersleier, as well as the Protestant church in Heiligkreuz belonging to the parish Weißenbach are located in the Lohr deanery of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Bavaria . Waizenbach was from 1827 to 1929 the seat of the Evangelical Lutheran deanery.

Both in the district of Dittlofsroda (there Zum Schondratal 2–8) and in the district of Völkersleier (there in Frohnstrasse 4) there were synagogues for the Jewish population that were desecrated or destroyed by SA men in the November pogrom of 1938 . Memorial plaques remind of this event.

coat of arms

Blazon : Split; in front in silver a free-floating black paw cross, in the back divided by silver and blue; above three curved golden posts in a red bar, below a silver inclined bar covered with three blue rings.

Coat of arms history: The municipality of Wartmannsroth was created in 1978 by amalgamating the formerly independent municipalities of Dittlofsroda, Schwärzelbach, Völkersleier, Waizenbach, Wartmannsroth and Windheim. Before that, the communities had their own coats of arms, which have disappeared due to the new formation of today's community. Only the coat of arms of Völkersleier remained and is today the coat of arms of the new municipality of Wartmannsroth. The reason for this decision was the knowledge that the heraldic symbols also speak for the entire new community. The entire municipality historically belonged to the Principality (Hochstift) Fulda, for which the black Fulda cross stands in the coat of arms. The back half of the coat of arms contains the ancestral coat of arms of the barons of Thüngen who owned large estates in the municipality in the Middle Ages. Below is the coat of arms of the Prince-Bishop of Würzburg, Julius Echter von Mespelbrunn, who donated a large part of the Völkersleier municipality to the Juliusspital in Würzburg, which bears his name.
The coat of arms was awarded by the government of Lower Franconia on February 15, 1979.

The most important secular building is the former moated castle in Waizenbach . It was built around 1570 in the Renaissance style and was the seat of an evangelical aristocratic women's monastery . The castle, which burned down in the Second World War, was then restored without the high baroque spiers. The monastery itself still exists formally today under the administration of the Barons Truchseß zu Wetzhausen .
