history

Early settlement history

The area around Zeublitz, Strössendorf and the Trebitzmühle was settled for the first time in the Bronze Age at the latest . On the basis of a hoard found in 1928 from the Bronze Age around 1200 BC, this was concluded. Between Strössendorf and Zeublitz, consisting of a rag ax and two button sickles. They got lost in the turmoil of the Second World War and could not be found.

At the turn of the ages, the area was mainly populated by Germanic tribes who had settled as farmers and ranchers . The Teutons were ousted by the Thuringians until they gave way to the Franks in 491 .

While the Thuringian population declined, from the end of the 5th century Slavs , especially Wends and Sorbs , and possibly also Czechs moved to the region and settled peacefully next to the Franks. When exactly Zeublitz was founded is unclear, but most likely as a Slavic Rundling in the 1st millennium .

Middle Ages and Early Modern Times

The village was first mentioned in writing in 1034 in a document about the donation of "two estate (s), namely Betestat and Cibilze" by Count Reginboto von Wertheim and his wife Adela von Beichlingen to the Michelsberg monastery . It was subject to this for around 300 years and then came into Langheimer possession on September 4, 1350 . Around this time or a little earlier, a tower mound was probably built on the Kreibitzenberg , the heaped mound of which can still be clearly seen.

In 1801 the place belonged to the Bamberg Monastery and the Zehend to the Langheim Monastery . Ecclesiastically he was under the parish of Altenkunstadt.

From the 19th century until today

In 1818 a community was formed from Zeublitz, Spiesberg and the Trebitzmühle . Decisive for the municipality seat was not the number of residents, but the property. Since Zeublitz with 14 properties was larger than the other parts of the municipality Spießberg (11 properties) and Trebitzmühle (1 property), Zeublitz became the seat of the newly formed community of Zeublitz . As the only part of the municipality of Altenkunstadt today, Zeublitz did not belong to the district court and rent office Weismain, but to the regional court and rent office Lichtenfels.

The chapel with the patronage of the Virgin Mary was built between 1956 and 1957 by the chapel building association founded in 1955. Since then it has shaped the village center together with the village community center. Nothing is known of an earlier church or chapel.

On July 1, 1972, as part of the municipal reform, it was incorporated into Altenkunstadt.
