Geography

Location

Mittelsinn lies in the Würzburg Region.

The community has the following Gemarkungen (traditional rural cadastral areas): Mittelsinn, Forst Aura.

History

The greater part of the former Amt of the Princely Electorate (Hochstift) of Würzburg had passed by 1808 to the Principality of Aschaffenburg (in 1803 first to Bavaria, and then in 1805 to the Grand Duchy of Würzburg), with which it passed in 1814 to Bavaria. The local rights held by the Electorate of Hesse-Kassel, however, did not pass to Bavaria until 1860. In the course of administrative reform in Bavaria, the current community came into being with the Gemeindeedikt (“Municipal Edict”) of 1818.

No later than the 19th century, there were Jewish families living in Mittelsinn who formed their own community and built a synagogue. This was destroyed on Kristallnacht (9 November 1938), as recalled by a memorial plaque at the savings and loan institution across the street from the synagogue's former site. [3]

Coat of arms

The community's arms might be described thus: Per fess in chief dexter dancetty of three gules and argent, in chief sinister Or two official's staves in saltire of the first, in base vert a waterwheel spoked of six of the third surmounted by a pale wavy of the second.

On the escutcheon’s upper half, on the dexter (armsbearer’s right, viewer’s left) side, are the arms formerly borne by the Prince-Bishopric (Hochstift) of Würzburg, referring to the community’s former allegiance to that state. On the sinister (armsbearer’s left, viewer’s right) side, the two staves refer to the special tithe court whose seat Mittelsinn once was. They also symbolize the Hessian-Bavarian condominium that existed here from the early 19th century until 1866. From the 15th century, the lordship and court rights over Mittelsinn were held by several lords, leading to the creation of the Vierherrschaft, or “Four-Lordship”. Prime among these lords were the Lords of Thüngen and the Lords of Hutten, to whom the tinctures Or and gules (gold and red) refer, as both noble families’ arms showed these tinctures. The charges in the escutcheon's lower half, a waterwheel and a wavy pale (vertical stripe) symbolize the River Sinn and its mills. The tincture vert (green) stands for the community's rural character and for its location between the Rhön and the Spessart.

The arms have been borne since 1980 after a decision by the community council was approved by the government of Lower Franconia. [4]
