Altenthal is a Franconian wasteland in the southwest of the Wiesentalb , which belongs to the Gößweinstein market .

geography

The wasteland is one of 31 officially named districts of the Gößweinstein market in the southwestern part of Upper Franconia . It is located about six kilometers west-southwest of Gößweinstein, at an altitude of 398  m above sea level. NHN . Old valley is located near the end of the valley of a deep into the Northern Frankenalb cut notch valley that the old Thalbach is dewatered. This approximately two and a half kilometer long stream rises about 200 meters below the wasteland and then flows directly to the west, but gradually turns a little more northwards. A little east of Eberhardstein , its direction of flow then takes a north-westerly direction and now follows the course of the district road FO 30 . After passing Pfaffenloh , the water reaches the village of Urspring , where it flows into the Thosbach . Along the middle part of the Altenthalbach there are several fish ponds on both sides of the stream bed, because intensive fish farming is carried out in this valley section due to the favorable conditions for trout keeping. The next neighboring town of Altenthal is Ühleinshof , 85 meters up the slope, which can only be reached from there via a steep hiking trail.

history

Until the beginning of the 19th century Altenthal was under the sovereignty of the Bamberg Monastery . The village and community rulership was exercised by its Vogteiamt Wolfsberg . When the Bamberg bishopric was secularized as a result of the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss 1802/03 and annexed by the Electorate Palatinate-Baiern in breach of the Imperial Constitution , Altenthal became part of the New Bavarian territories that were taken over during the "Napoleonic land consolidation" .

As a result of the administrative reforms in the Kingdom of Bavaria at the beginning of the 19th century, Altenthal became part of the rural community of Wichsenstein with the Second Community Edict in 1818 , which also included the villages of Hardt , Sattelmannsburg , Ühleinshof and Urspring , the hamlet of Eberhardstein and the wasteland of Pfaffenloh . With the communal territorial reform in Bavaria in the 1970s, Altenthal was incorporated into the Gößweinstein market on May 1, 1978, together with most of the Wichsenstein community, only Eberhardstein, Pfaffenloh and Urspring were incorporated into Pretzfeld . In 2019 Altenthal had two residents.

traffic

The connection to the public road network is made by a partially asphalted spur road, which branches off about 100 meters above Eberhardstein from the district road FO 30 and ends at the wasteland.
