Dittwar is a district of Tauberbischofsheim with 693 residents. [1]
Dittwar is located south-west of Tauberbischofsheim in the Tauberfranken region of Franconia. [1]
Dittwar is one of seven districts of Tauberbischofsheim. The other districts are the town of Tauberbischofsheim, as well as Dienstadt, Distelhausen, Dittigheim, Hochhausen and Impfingen. [1] Dittwar was incorporated to Tauberbischofsheim during the local government reform in Baden-Württemberg on January 1, 1975.
Dittwar was first mentioned in 1100 as Ditebure (dit (mhd) = people / common / usually; bure (mhd) = farmer / neighbour). [1] The name evolved to Dydebuor in 1343, Dytbuer in 1368, Dietbur in 1371, Dytewure in 1383, Dietwar in 1407, and finally Dittwar in 1615. The first mention Dittwar is related to the donation of the Castrum Dietebure by Count Henricus de Luden to the Prince-Bishop of Würzburg.
The coat of arms of Dittwar show a bunch of grapes and a plough iron, both derived from the old seal of the village. The oldest known seal of the village dates from 1768 and shows a crowned wheel, flanked by the grapes and plough. The wheel is the symbol of the State of Mainz, to which the village belonged from medieval times until 1803. In the 19th century the village used a seal with a shield showing only the wheel. As the wheel is very common, it was decided to use the typical village symbols of the 18th century seal in the new arms. [2]
The baroque church of St. Lawrence dating back to 1753. Pilgrimages to the "Kreuzhölzle" have taken place since 1660. Inside the church, the chapel at "Kreuzhölzle" and in the village baroque portals and ornate shrines can be found.
In Dittwar there is a village-museum. It is a former farmhouse. In this farmhouse are housed flat, barn, cellar and stable in one building. In addition to exhibits from the period after 1900, a historic shoemaker's workshop is exhibited in a room.
