Erlabrunn is a municipality in the district of Würzburg in Bavaria, Germany. It has an administrative division together with its neighbour Margetshöchheim. It is known for its viticulture and its orcharding.
Erlabrunn is about 10 kilometres (6 mi) north of Würzburg. Its neighbours are in the south Margetshöchheim und Veitshöchheim, in the west Leinach and in the north Zellingen and Thüngersheim. It is situated on the west side of the river Main. It was first mentioned in 1209.
The mayor is Günter Muth (CSU/FWG) since 2002. His predecessor was Friedrich Petermann (SPD/Unabhängige Bürger, in office 1990–2002). Before him there were Eugen Blaß (1948–1960), Oskar Eckart (1960–1984) and Hans Muth (1984–90). Its sister city is the French commune Quettehou since 1985.
In the 12th century, the castle Falkenberg existed on the mountain people (the former name was Falkenberg) at the northern end of the current location. The inhabitants of the castle Falkenberg were vassals of Ravensburg. As punishment for the murder of Bishop Konrad von Würzburg Querfurt the castle was razed. Today, only see a few stones from the ruins.
The first written mention of the place dates from 1209 and means that the area was part of today's Erlabrunn the Earl of Rieneck. When the count started a loan from the Bishop of Wurzburg, he mortgaged the land to the diocese of Würzburg. As part of this was Erlabrunn—secularized in 1803 in favor of Bavaria—then in the Peace of Pressburg (1805) to Archduke Ferdinand III. From Tuscany to the formation of the Grand Duchy of Würzburg, with which it fell back to Bavaria in 1814. In the course of administrative reform in Bavaria was created—with the edict of 1818 community—the church today.
