History
The settlement of the district already goes to the Stone Age ( Steinbeilfunde ). The first known descriptions of the settlement loud Werdheim, which means " home of the safe shore ", which is discussing the situation on Main. The first documented mention was ( very likely) already. 749 instead (as free float of the monastery of Fulda ) Werdheim became the mother parish of the southeastern Spessart region. This initially was under the Bishop of Würzburg, and finally went up to him and the market right awarded by King Henry II from October 22, 1009 back. Two stone towers of the early local attachment, a striking stone cross with the Irish Sun wreath on the church and market square and the small fortified church, whose origins lie already in the time of Christianity, still recall this period. From the early 12th century a branch of the noble family of Reginbodonen Wertheim was called. This noble family was built on the left side of the Main, a new weir, so that a new settlement developed in their protection, which soon took the name Werdheim. 1192 is the present town of Wertheim, first mentioned as suburbium castri Wertheim, in 1200 it is as oppidum and 1244 civitas referred ( See also Wertheim ) Since that time can be found to better distinguish between the two settlements place names on the stone cross the marketplace refer: Crucwertheim, Holy Creuzeswertheim or simply Creütz. This designation is, to this day popularly usual.
