The districts of Krumbach, Hürben, Attenhausen, Billenhausen, Edenhausen, Hohenraunau and Niederraunau reflect the formerly independent communities that make up the current community area.
Krumbach is located in the natural area of the Lower Iller-Lech gravel plates , in the valley of the Kammel , a tributary of the Mindel , which drains into the Danube . The districts of Niederraunau, Billenhausen and Hirschfelden, like Krumbach im Kammeltal and Hohenraunau, are located on the ridge between the Kammeltal and the Krumbächles valley , which flows into the Kammel in Krumbach. The other two districts, Edenhausen and Attenhausen, are located east of Krumbach in the valley of the Haselbach , a tributary of the Kammel, which flows further north into the Kammel near Naichen (municipality of Neuburg an der Kammel ). The Krumbad spa is located between Krumbach and Edenhausen on the eastern edge of the small valley of the Weihergraben , which, like the Krumbächle, flows into the Kammel in Krumbach.
The landscape is characterized by fields, meadows and forests. The Krumbach parish church of St. Michael is 512 m above the Amsterdam level measuring point. According to the regional plan, the medium-sized center Krumbach, which is to be preferably developed, belongs to the Danube-Iller planning region . The city is roughly halfway between Ulm, Augsburg and Memmingen.
history
Until the city became a city
Krumbach was first mentioned in a document in 1156, and the place received market rights in 1370. At the time of its foundation, the place was in the Duchy of Swabia . Krumbach was part of the Habsburgs from 1305 to 1805 and, as part of the margraviate of Burgau, belonged to the Upper Austrian territories ; with the peace of Pressburg Krumbach became Bavarian. In 1895 Krumbach was promoted to town.
20th century
In 1912 the Raiffeisenbank Krumbach / Schwaben was founded. Until 1933 the village of Hürben or the city had a comparatively high proportion of Jewish citizens in Bavaria (→ see Hürben Jewish Community ). In 1938, all Jewish citizens still living there were initially taken to Günzburg prison. Of these, 27 people were able to emigrate by 1941, another 18 moved to other cities and the last 16 Jewish citizens of Hürben were deported and murdered in 1942. A total of 38 Jews who were born in Hürben or Krumbach or who lived here for a longer period died during the National Socialist era.
Until June 30, 1972, Krumbach was the district town of the Krumbach district (Swabia) .
Incorporations
On October 1, 1902, the previously independent municipality of Hürben was incorporated.
With the territorial reform , the communities Hohenraunau (January 1, 1972), Billenhausen with Hirschfelden (July 1, 1972), Edenhausen with the Krumbad (January 1, 1973), Attenhausen (January 1, 1977) and Niederraunau (May 1, 1978) incorporated. Niederraunau is mentioned in a document as early as 1067 and was raised to market by Maximilian I under Georg von Freyberg in 1494.
