history

It is believed that Abtsgreuth was a founding of the Münchsteinach monastery from the 12th or 13th century. The name suggests that an abbot of the Münchsteinach monastery founded the village through clearing. The ending "-greuth" denotes a land made arable through clearing. Abtsgreuth therefore means "clearing of the abbot".

The Schafhof (today the Gugel und Schmidthammer estate), which was previously surrounded by a wall and belonged to the monastery, is considered to be the nucleus of the place. Abtsgreuth was first mentioned in history on Tuesday, September 2, 1494, when the Erkinger von Seinsheim settled a hat dispute between the Münchsteinach monastery and Heinrich von Stieber zu Steinach and Taschendorf with a contract.

After the dispersal of the monks in 1525 by the angry peasants in the course of the Reformation and the Peasant War, the Münchsteinach monastery was no longer occupied. After that, the Margraves of Brandenburg-Kulmbach determined the fate of Abtsgreuth.

In 1647, during the Thirty Years' War , Münchsteinach and the surrounding villages were thoroughly plundered - the whole area was completely uninhabited for 20 weeks. The population grew again until around 1750, which was mainly due to the influx of exiles , the evangelicals expelled from the Alpine countries. Many of the inhabitants of Middle Franconia have ancestors who came from Austria.

Towards the end of the 18th century there were 15 properties in Abtsgreuth (2 half-farms with sheep, 1 brewery, 4 hubs , 2 half- hubs , 1 blacksmith's, 4 Sölden , 1 drip house ). The high court exercised partly the Brandenburg-Bayreuth city ​​bailiff's office Neustadt an der Aisch , partly the Castell'sche Cent Burghaslach . The Brandenburg-Bayreuth Monastery Office Münchaurach held the village and community rulership and the lordship over all properties .

In 1810 Abtsgreuth came to the new Kingdom of Bavaria . As part of the community edict, Abtsgreuth was assigned to the Münchsteinach tax district in 1811 . In 1813 it was assigned to the Münchsteinach rural community . With the second community edict (1818) the rural community Abtsgreuth was formed, to which Mittelsteinach and Undungsmühle belonged. It was subordinate to the regional court Neustadt an der Aisch in administration and jurisdiction and in the financial administration to the Rentamt Neustadt an der Aisch (renamed in 1920 to Finanzamt Neustadt an der Aisch ). The municipality had an area of ​​7.837 km².

In 1823 the Abtsgreuth school was closed. In 1834 the farmer Johann Conrad Mechs from Abtsgreuth sold his farm to the beer brewer Johann Georg Landbeck. In 1835 a forge was built in Abtsgreuth, on which a turret with clock and bell was attached in the same year. In 1846 the Fuhrweg (road) between Mittelsteinach and Abtsgreuth was rebuilt after it could no longer be used even with a barely loaded car.

From 1862 Abtsgreuth was administered by the Neustadt an der Aisch district office (renamed the Neustadt an der Aisch district in 1938 ). The jurisdiction remained with the district court Neustadt an der Aisch until 1879, from 1880 district court Neustadt an der Aisch .

In 1869, according to a resolution of the government, several places were to be united into one municipality under one mayor's office. Abtsgreuth and Mittelsteinach resisted being incorporated into Münchsteinach. The citizens protested at the district office and in 1873 were finally given the right to keep their parishes.

In 1884 the men's choir, Altershausen / Abtsgreuth, was founded. In 1899 a post office was built in Abtsgreuth. In May 1902 the volunteer fire brigade was founded in Abtsgreuth . In 1923 electricity and village lighting were installed in the community.

On the night of August 1 and 2, 1928, the property of August Mechs and Christian Thaler burned down. Here a large chest with old documents burned. At the beginning of 1940, deported Polish farm workers were forcibly brought to Abtsgreuth. From 1943/1944, the Abtsgreuther were often exposed to air raids - mainly on Nuremberg. In 1945, SS soldiers wanted to blow up a number of houses to block the streets. The road between Abtsgreuth and Altershausen was mined. On Sunday, April 15, 1945, the Americans entered Abtsgreuth early and the houses had to be cleared within 10 minutes.

Abtsgreuth had its own cemetery since 1952, so that the deceased no longer had to be buried in Münchsteinach. In 1958, Johann Mechs, who was elected mayor after the death of Mayor August Mechs, donated a new bell for the turret on the sheep farm after the two bells on this turret had been melted down during the two world wars.

From 1966 to 1972 David Thaler was the last mayor of the Abtsgreuth community, which was dissolved on January 1, 1972 and incorporated into Münchsteinach.

Between 1970 and 1982 the land consolidation Abtsgreuth-Mittelsteinach was carried out.

The Abtsgreuth bowling club was founded on August 8, 1979. On June 17, 1988, the new fire station in Gründleinsweg was inaugurated, in the basement of which the bowling club had installed a fully automatic bowling alley with management, which was inaugurated on December 15, 1990. In the spring of 1991 a sport bowling team was formed in the bowling club, which made it up three times in a row in 1993, 1994 and 1995.

On July 15, 1994, the festive evening for the first mention of the village of Abtsgreuth took place on the Friday of the Keglerkerwa 500 years ago. On this occasion, the teacher Simon presented the board of directors of the bowling club Lorenz Beihl with a framed copy of the original document from the Bamberg State Archives. A chronicle of the localities Abtsgreuth and Mittelsteinach was compiled by Jürgen Schmidthammer and published in over 130 copies.

On March 18, 1995, an oak donated by the community on the occasion of the 500th anniversary was planted next to the bowling club.
