Eußenheim (or Eussenheim) is a community in the Main-Spessart district in the Regierungsbezirk of Lower Franconia (Unterfranken) in Bavaria, Germany.
Eußenheim lies on the river Wern in the Würzburg Region, in the Fränkisches Weinland (“Franconian Wineland”).
The community has the following Gemarkungen (traditional rural cadastral areas): Aschfeld, Bühler, Eußenheim, Hundsbach, Münster and Obersfeld.
There is also a hamlet in the community called Schönarts.
From the 12th to the 16th century, the noble family of Heußlein lived here. The Parish Church of Saints Marcellinus and Peter, standing high above the village, was built in 1619. The former steward of the cathedral chapter of the Prince-Bishopric of Würzburg was, after Secularization in 1803, yielded up at Bavaria’s behest to Archduke Ferdinand of Tuscany in 1805 to form the Grand Duchy of Würzburg, with which it passed in 1814 to Bavaria. In the course of administrative reform in Bavaria, the current community came into being with the Gemeindeedikt (“Municipal Edict”) of 1818. In 1978, Eußenheim merged with the outlying community of Schönarts with the brookside centres of Aschfeld, Münster, Bühler, Hundsbach and Obersfeld into one, greater community.
Within town limits, 3,400 inhabitants were counted in 1970, 3,191 in 1987 and in 2000 3,374.
The mayor is Dieter Schneider (CSU, since 1 May 2008).
Municipal taxes in 1999 amounted to €1,279,000 (converted), of which net business taxes amounted to €81,000.
The community’s arms might be described thus: Tierced in mantle reversed, dexter gules two rows of lozenges argent in bend, sinister of the first a laurel twig in bend sinister of the second, in chief Or three roses of the first barbed of the second and seeded of the last.
