Adolzfurt is a district of Bretzfeld in Hohenlohekreis in northern Baden-Württemberg .
geography
Adolzfurt is located in the southwest Hohenlohe district on the right bank of the Brettach valley, which widens towards the Hohenlohe plain . On the opposite bank is the Bretzfeld district of Scheppach , with which Adolzfurt has grown together due to the recent expansion of the settlement.
Local division
Adolzfurt includes the hamlets of Hälden (also to Geddelsbach), Hahnenbusch and Hohenacker (also to Scheppach) and the Wiesental house as well as an abandoned castle on the Schloßbuckel, which is possibly identical to the Nuwen Heimeberc stables mentioned in 1334 .
history
Adolzfurt was first mentioned as Adelhardtsfurt in 1327. The name of the place means ford of Adelhard and changed over time to its current spelling. Around 1300 the lords of Neideck-Maienfels owned the place as a fiefdom of the lords of Weinsberg . In 1335 the place came to the princes of Hohenlohe . In 1336, Emperor Ludwig IV granted the place the rights of the city of Hall , but Adolzfurt was called a village again as early as 1350 and could not acquire any urban significance, although the place as a customs post was also on an old salt trade route from Mainhardt to Heilbronn. Agriculture shaped the place more than trade: viticulture can be traced back to 1491, and agriculture, fruit growing and cattle breeding were also of great importance.
In Adolzfurt there was once a moated castle, which was later the seat of the Hohenlohe bailiffs and the official seat. The place came in 1553 to the Hohenlohe-Waldenburg line, in 1615 to Hohenlohe-Pfedelbach and later to Hohenlohe-Waldenburg-Schillingsfürst. The land on the site was very fragmented, in the 17th century almost half of the arable land was owned by farmers. When the Hohenlohische Lande lost their independence in 1806 as a result of the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss , Adolzfurt also came to the Kingdom of Württemberg . There it was assigned to the Oberamt Neuenstein and moved to the Oberamt Öhringen in 1812 .
The community reached a provisional peak in 1852 with 755 inhabitants, after which the number of inhabitants decreased to only 516 inhabitants by the beginning of the Second World War due to emigration and emigration. The Adolzfurt powder mill for gunpowder, which was founded around 1830 as a branch of the powder mill Unterheimbach, was later part of Dynamit Nobel and became an important local employer during the Second World War. A serious explosion on March 30, 1990 killed 3 people and injured 4 people. Large parts of the powder mill were destroyed. After the accident, the powder mill was no longer built.
With the district reform in 1973, Adolzfurt came from the district of Öhringen to the Hohenlohe district . In the course of the community reform, Adolzfurt, together with Geddelsbach , Scheppach and Unterheimbach, considered the formation of a large community of Weinfurt , as the formation of a unified community encompassing the entire Brettachtal was initially rejected. On January 1, 1975, Adolzfurt, Bitzfeld , Bretzfeld , Dimbach , Geddelsbach, Scheppach, Schwabbach , Siebeneich , Unterheimbach and Waldbach merged to form the new municipality of Bretzfeld.

Attractions
Castle The former northeast corner tower and the southern residential wing still bear witness to the former castle in Adolzfurt, which dates back to a medieval moated castle and was the Hohenlohe official seat for a long time. The castle was partially demolished in 1777 and the remaining parts were completely rebuilt. The facility has been privately owned since the 19th century. The free-standing tower is crowned by a hexagonal dome.
Evangelical Marienkirche In the Middle Ages, Adolzfurt was a church branch of Unterheimbach ( Weinsberg church district ). A chapel belonging to the Lichtenstern monastery to Our Lady in Adolzfurt came to Hohenlohe-Langenburg in 1563. In 1613 a separate parish was set up in Adolzfurt. According to plans of the architect Heinrich Schickhardt and construction management of the castle Vogts of Neuenstein, Georg Kern, St. Mary's church was 1618-1621 to cross church rebuilt and expanded to the south with three-sided gallery, Mr stalls along the 5/8 choir wall and patronage gallery opposite the pulpit. The free-standing altar with its wooden top (crucifix, Mary and John; a sawing with a plastic effect) dates from 1684. The church was partially destroyed in 1945 and was rebuilt by 1953. The artist Wolf-Dieter Kohler created three choir windows in 1967 (in the tracery from left to right: creator's hand, sacrificial symbol pelican, heavenly Jerusalem. In the motif windows on the left: Annunciation to Mary, birth, presentation of Jesus in the temple; middle: Last Supper, Gethsemane, crucifixion ; right: Resurrection, Emmaus, meeting of the risen Christ with disciples and Thomas).
Castle Slightly outside on the Schloßberg, a few traces of a medieval castle are preserved, which is popularly known as Scheppacher Castle and which may be Nuwen Heimeberc Castle (New Heimberg), which is attested in literature .
Other sights include the rectory from 1612 with a representative Renaissance gable and the former office building . The old mill near the castle is one of the oldest buildings in the town.
