Hans Weiss war 1423 der erste urkundlich erwähnte Pfarrer von Zeilitzheim.
Seit dieser Zeit lösten sich die Adelsgeschlechter derer v. Grumbach, der Fuchs von Bimbach, derer v. Wolfsthal und der Grafen v. Schönborn als Patronatsherrn mit ihrem Präsentationsrecht (Vorschlagsrecht) und ihrer Patrimonialgerichtsbarkeit (Rechtsprechung durch den Grundherrn) ab. Sie bestimmten über die Einsetzung eines Pfarrers oder Vikars und die Zugehörigkeit zur jeweiligen Glaubensgemeinschaft.
Johann Fuchs, um 1541 der letzte Geistliche vor der Glaubensspaltung, führte Zeilitzheim möglicherweise der Lehre Luthers zu.
Von der Herrschaft mit der Lohmühle, der Dorfmühle, der Ziegelei, Feldern und Weinbergen beschenkt, entwickelte sich neben dem Pfarrhaus ein Pfarrhof. Diese Schenkungen, als Lehen der evangelischen Kirchengemeinde „zins- und gültpflichtig“ weitergegeben, sicherten der Pfarrei zusätzliche Einkünfte. Im Jahre 1724 entstand dieser Barockbau mit Fachwerk und Walmdach.
Bis um 1955 befand sich im Studierzimmer des Pfarrers eine im Fußboden eingelassene Klapptüre mit direktem Zugang in den Gewölbekeller. 1974

(English translation:) Hans Weiss was the first mentioned-in-writing pastor of Zeilitzheim, in 1423. Since that time the noble families of von Grumbach, Fuchs (of Bimbach), von Wolfsthal, and the Counts of Schönborn were Patron-Lords, with their rights of presentation (rights of proposal) and their patrimonial jurisdiction (jurisdiction by landlord). They determined the appointment of a pastor or vicar and membership of the religious community.

Johann Fuchs, the last clergyman before the schism in 1541, probably led Zeilitzheim to the doctrine of Luther.

With endowments of mills, a brickyard, and fields and vineyards, a vicarage was developed next to the rectory; the endowments, as part of the parish "fief", provided interest and rents to this Protestant parish as forms of additional income.

In 1724, this baroque building with a half-timbered frame and hipped roof was built.

Until 1955, in the parson's study, there was a drop-down door set in the floor with direct access to the vaulted cellar. In 1974 the barn in the vicarage was torn down. Parts of the stables have been preserved until today and were restored in 2002.
