history

In 1436/37 the city council of Schweinfurt received the two exclaves Weipoltsdorf and Ottenhausen as part of a major expansion. The Teutonic Order also acquired the castle on the Peterstirn , the villages of Altstadt , Hilpersdorf , Weipoltshausen , Zell , the Deutschhof , Thomashof farms and the associated land areas for a total of 18,000 guilders . In the Thirty Years' War Weipoltsdorf was devastated.

Up until the land consolidation in the 1960s, there was a wetland biotope on the site of the desert , which was converted into an agricultural property. In 1993 the Erhard family from Üchtelhausen, who financed and independently implemented funding projects as the “erhard family”, acquired the property. In cooperation with the nature conservation authorities, they rebuilt a biotope with a pond called Alt Weipoltsdorf.

description

Weipoltsdorf was a hamlet with six to eight houses. It was located at some of the springs still existing today in a small side valley in the source area of ​​the torrent between the large forest areas of the Schweinfurt Rhön . Above (north) the desert, the torrent is only a not constantly water-bearing ditch without further sources. The arrangement of the plots with many small parcels still indicate the settlement. In a historical map, this small parceled area is free of forest, while today the southern area is forested, with the historical parcels still partially visible on the forest aisles. The desert is managed by the Bavarian State Office for the Preservation of Monuments as ground monument D-6-5927-0090 Medieval desert "Weipoltsdorf" (as of September 2, 2017).
