Excerpt (in translation):
Bartholomäus Dietwar was born on September 7, 1592 as the son of the Kitzingen glass painter Elias Dietwar and his wife Margareta, daughter of the Kitzingen organist Paul Brückner, in Kirchgasse opposite the Catholic rectory…(Submitted on October 17, 2024.)
Bartholomäus Dietwar made greatcontributions to his hometown of Kitzingen, not only as a pastor, but also as a historian. In 1665, he completed the work "Historical Report of the Monastery and Town of Kitzingen in Franconia." In it, Dietwar describes the history (foundation, development, coat of arms, rulers, significant events and buildings) of the town and monastery. In this context, he also describes the Old Main Bridge with its many structures such as the customs house, bridge tower and the so-called “snack-basket” (a basket hung from the bridge in which thieves were dunked in the river). Another, very interesting chapter is entitled "Register of the holy, praiseworthy and worthy sanctuary of the Kitzingen Monastery." In it, Dietwar records in detail where the monastery’s relics were located.Photographed by Andrew Ruppenstein, September 16, 20242.
