history

Wiebelbach - a clearing settlement of the Rienecker in the Spessart. Wiebelbach was first mentioned in a document by Count Otto von Schweinfurt around 1100. 1112 Wiebelbach was given to the diocese of Eichstätt . The name of the place comes from one of the first settlers, a certain Wippilo.

In 1305, the Eichstätt diocese handed over the place and other surrounding villages to Elisabeth von Schlüsselberg, daughter of Gottfried von Schlüsselberg , who had married into the Wertheim count family. The name of the place Wiblobac was on the takeover in Wiblibach renamed.

In 1359 the Wertheimers ruled and had their own people settled there.

From 1421 the Triefenstein Monastery had interest and validity differentials in the village and was also given rulership during this time. The Vogtei (lower court, administration) was also in the Triefenstein Monastery at this time.

Around 1480 the place was renamed Wibelbach .

In 1504, Count Michael von Wertheim took over the bailiwick of Wibelbach, Unterwittbach and Rettersheim. There was a dispute with the monastery. In this context Triefenstein ceded his rule to the Hochstift Würzburg in order to receive better protection from there. However, the Triefenstein Monastery reserved itself for itself interest, valid, hand wages and compulsory labor. At that time, when the place was given to the bishopric, the name changed to Wibelrich .

In 1508 Wibelrich was finally renamed Wiebelbach .

In 1525 the monastery subjects from Wiebelbach felt exploited under high taxes and the burden of labor. In the Peasants' War of 1525 they joined Count Jörg von Wertheim and went into battle against the Triefenstein Monastery, plundered the monastery and put the monks to flight. After the war, the Wiebelbachers and the other rebellious neighboring villages were handed over to Rothenfels and forced to be subject to the count there. In 1605 the Mattenstadt Monastery acquired interest, land and fruit in Wiebelbach. Wiebelbach was not returned to the revitalized Triefenstein Monastery until 1655.

1806 Wiebelbach came under Napoleon to the princely family von Löwenstein-Wertheim-Freudenberg (seat in Kreuzwertheim), in 1818 Wiebelbach became Bavarian . With the founding of the German Empire in 1871/72 under Chancellor Bismarck, Wiebelbach became politically more independent and paid his taxes to the Marktheidenfeld Rent Office (now the tax office) and from that time had its own mayor.

In 1862 the district office of Marktheidenfeld was formed, on whose administrative area Wiebelbach was located. In 1939, as everywhere in the German Reich, the designation district was introduced. Wiebelbach was now one of the 47 communities in the Marktheidenfeld district . With the dissolution of the district of Marktheidenfeld in 1972, Wiebelbach came into the newly formed district of Main-Spessart .

Population development

Wiebelbach, a farming village with a long tradition, had around 150 inhabitants for most of the time (1897), this number remained almost constant even during the wars. It was only after the industrial area was established in the mid-1980s that there was population growth. In 2002 the place passed the 200-inhabitant mark. In the meantime, due to a lack of young people and an aging population, the numbers have also declined again and on December 31, 2019, however, amounted to 210 inhabitants.

Structural change

For centuries, Wiebelbach was characterized by agriculture and cattle breeding. After the place came to Bavaria in 1814 and became independent, logging and sales formed the most important source of income for what was once the smallest municipality in the Altlandkreis Marktheidenfeld.

The municipality of Wiebelbach was incorporated into Kreuzwertheim in 1972. The industrial area with many medium-sized companies offers work for the local population and is the main source of income for the community of Kreuzwertheim.

1897: At that time, 157 people lived in 29 houses or 33 households in the village. There were 142 head of cattle (cattle, cows, calves), 6 horses, 120 sheep, 70 pigs, 8 beehives and countless rabbits, chickens and ducks. The population lived exclusively from agriculture and animal husbandry. The only exceptions were a landlord, a carpenter, three shoemakers, a blacksmith, a linen weaver and a tailor.

1964: Wiebelbach is still an independent municipality. Income of the village community is logging and the sale of this, leasing and livestock money. Progress has meanwhile also started here. Most of the population is gainfully employed. Agriculture is still operated as a sideline. The number of farms is falling. The number of dairy cattle has almost halved. There are only 74 dairy cows left in the village. Only the number of pigs (75), ducks, chickens and rabbits has remained consistently high.

1993: Wiebelbach has 170 inhabitants, there are no carpenters or other traditional craftsmen left. Since the mid-1980s, a number of industrial companies have settled on the formerly agricultural areas outside the village. Only the Gasthaus Linde has existed since 1897.

coat of arms

Unofficial coat of arms

Wiebelbach did not have its own coat of arms. Today's was developed in 2003 in an initiative of the youth fire brigade and the couple Barbara and Urban Scheuring. A vote took place on March 23, 2003 between several drafts that were drawn up together with a heraldist and the district home administrator at the time. Since no coat of arms received a qualified majority in the first ballot, a casting vote was scheduled on March 30, 2003, in which today's coat of arms prevailed. Since then it has adorned the welcome plaque and the fire brigade's sleeve badges .

The former municipality of Wiebelbach had the small Bavarian state coat of arms in its official seal (Art. 4, Paragraph 2 of the Bavarian municipal code - e.g. to be seen in the deed of incorporation in the meeting room of the town hall of the Kreuzwertheim market). The "local coat of arms" is therefore not an official coat of arms. A community that no longer exists can no longer accept a new coat of arms. This can also be seen from the fact that the procedure outlined above does not comply with the relevant regulations (Art. 4, Paragraph 1, Clause 2 of the Bavarian Municipal Code, Section 5 of the Ordinance on Municipal Names, National Emblems and Territorial Changes). The “local coat of arms” therefore only has the quality of a private work of art. The fact that the Wiebelbach volunteer fire brigade has this coat of arms on its sleeve has not changed that. This contradicts Annex 3 number 1 of the Implementing Ordinance to the Bavarian Fire Brigade Act (according to this, either the small Bavarian state coat of arms or the coat of arms of the Kreuzwertheim market would have to be shown in the sleeve badge).

Culture and clubs

The volunteer fire brigade and its fire brigade association, like the parish, organize regular parties and meetings. In addition, there is a men's regulars 'table every Thursday at Gasthaus Linde and a regulars' table for women every two weeks on Fridays. There you will find connection to the local events.
