History


Lamentation of Christ, Maidbronn
Lamentation of Christ, Maidbronn

Rimpar was first mentioned in an 1126 deed. Hermann I von Lobdeburg, Bishop of Würzburg, established a Cistercian nunnery, Maidbronn Abbey, at neighbouring Maidbronn in 1232. The former abbey church, dedicated to Saint Afra, contains a sandstone altarpiece of the Lamentation of Christ by Tilman Riemenschneider dated to 1525, considered the last of his major works.

The von Grumbach noble family had Rimpar Castle built in 1347. In 1593 Konrad von Grumbach sold Rimpar to Prince-Bishop Julius Echter of Würzburg. With the Grand Duchy of Würzburg Rimpar fell to the Kingdom of Bavaria in 1814.
