Geography



Location


Zellingen lies in the region of Würzburg on the river Main. The community has the following Gemarkungen (traditional rural cadastral areas): Duttenbrunn, Retzbach, Zellingen.


History


Between 1312 and 1313, Zellingen temporarily had Schweinfurt town rights, which, however, were never used.

Zellingen, as a former Amt of the Prince-Bishopric of Würzburg, passed at Secularization in 1803 to Bavaria, and under the Peace of Pressburg was transferred in 1805 to Archduke Ferdinand of Tuscany to form the Grand Duchy of Würzburg, with which it passed in 1814 back to Bavaria. In 1975, the market community of Retzbach was amalgamated with Zellingen, as likewise was the community of Duttenbrunn in 1978.

Coat of arms


The community's arms might be described thus: Per fess, in chief argent the letter Z moline gules, in base per pale, dexter dancetty of three of the second and first, sinister azure a bend of the first surmounted by three annulets of the field in bend.

The red Z was taken from Zellingen's old court seal, which is known from a print made in 1691. The two designs in the escutcheon's lower half are drawn from arms formerly borne by the old community of Retzbach and granted by Prince-Bishop of Würzburg Julius Echter von Mespelbrunn (1573–1617) in 1586. The design on the sinister (armsbearer's left, viewer's right) side with the bend (diagonal stripe) overlaid with three rings was the Prince-Bishop's personal arms. Together with the design on the dexter (armsbearer's right, viewer's left) side, the three silver points on red, known as the "Franconian rake", the arms refer to the community's former lords.

The arms have been borne since 1982.[4]

Another source[5] shows quite a different coat of arms, which might be blazoned thus: Gules Saint George in armour azure on a horse springing argent thrusting a lance Or into a dragon's mouth and through its throat, the dragon in base of the third and supine, in chief sinister an inescutcheon of the third with the letter Z moline of the field.

Saints George and Sebastian are the community's patron saints; even the two kindergartens are named for them.
