Pilgrimage Church of Maria im Sand (Dettelbach)

Highlight • Religious Site

The pilgrimage legend reports that in 1504 Nikolaus Lemmer from Melkendorf near Bamberg, who was wounded after a quarrel and therefore bedridden, had an apparition in which a figure asked him to hold a small wooden pietà on a wayside shrine with a candle. to visit at Dettelbach. He made a vow and got well again. In 1506 the first chapel was built on this site and the first pilgrimages began. However, these end abruptly in the Reformation period. In the course of the Counter Reformation, the pilgrimages are revived. Today, Dettelbach is one of the most important pilgrimage sites in the Diocese of Würzburg with around 80 pilgrimages registered each year (approx. 8000 pilgrims). The catchment area of the pilgrimages extends into the Rhön, the Odenwald and the Bamberg area.

Dettelbach Old Town

Highlight • Settlement

Dettelbach is a popular holiday destination in the district of Kitzingen. Good weather is ensured here: The city belongs to the Maingau climate zone, which is considered one of the driest and warmest climates in Germany. You should definitely have tried the Muskatzinen - a pastry specialty, which is designed in the form of a tie loop. Her name comes from the main ingredient nutmeg.

The members of the Dettelbach wine, fruit and horticultural association laid out a grape variety trail around the Herz-Jesu-Höhe site. Old Franconian fruit trees are planted here and a shelter was built nearby to rest.
