history

Zell am Main, around 1847

Until the 19th century

As a village cell is at the foundation of the first 1128 Prämonstratenser - Monastery Oberzell mentioned. A parish church is assigned to the place by various chroniclers as early as 983. For the year 985, St. Laurentius is documented as patron of the church in Zell. The former village of fishermen and hackers is several centuries older than the document from 1128.

The place has a checkered history , especially due to the still intact Oberzell Monastery and the Unterzell Monastery, which was destroyed in the Second World War .

The office of the Hochstift Würzburg , which belonged to the Franconian Empire , fell to Bavaria during the secularization , was given to Archduke Ferdinand of Tuscany in 1805 ( Peace of Pressburg ) to form the Grand Duchy of Würzburg and with this in 1814 it finally came to Bavaria.

In 1817, Friedrich Koenig and Andreas Bauer founded the company Koenig & Bauer in the then secularized monastery of Oberzell , which is now located on the other side of the Main on Würzburger Grund.

Rabbi Mendel Rosenbaum from Theilheim near Werneck acquired the former Unterzell monastery with others and moved there in 1822 with his family and Lazarus Bergmann . In the course of the Hep-Hep riots in 1819, many Yeschivah students and other Jews from Würzburg fled to the surrounding area, including to Rosenbaum in Theilheim. Rosenbaum and Bergmann founded a new Jewish community with some of the fled Würzburgers in Unterzell, of which Rosenbaum became rabbi, and subsequently also a Talmud school.

In addition to his previous acquisition as a cattle and goods dealer, Rosenbaum set up a grocery store and a nail smithy in Unterzell . From 1825 Bergmann ran the nail smithy, after his Aliyah with his wife and children in 1834, Rosenbaum's eldest son, master nail smith Moses Rosenbaum, continued it.

Rosenbaum's economic ventures in Unterzell together with the Oberzell-based high-speed printing press factory Koenig & Bauer were decisive for the fact that Ober- and Unterzell, combined as Zell am Main, received market rights in 1833 .

Negotiations about the incorporation of Zell to Würzburg failed in 1927.

etymology

The name is the medieval Latin Cella or Middle High German Cella , within the meaning of the farmyard, is based. Since the 13th century, the suffixes upper , middle and lower were used to differentiate the monastery names. They refer to the altitude in the Main Valley.

1128 cella 1217 Celle 1259 cella 1295 Cellis

1321 Celle 1376 cell 1497 cell 1888 Zell am Main
