history

Until the church is planted

Traces of Celtic , Roman and Germanic old settlements have been found in the Arberg district . Two well-preserved Celtic entrenchments ( Viereckschanzen ) have been found in the district of Großlellenfeld . In 1892/93 Wilhelm Kohl examined the ORL route 14 of the Raetian Limes, popularly known as the “Devil's Wall”, from the Württemberg border to Lellenfeld, as "route commissioner" on behalf of the Reichs-Limeskommission . Among other things, he had the remains of the watchtower Wp 14/41 uncovered. The route commissioner Heinrich Eidam succeeded in 1893 in the forest near Kleinlellenfeld, the various structural features of the Limes in their construction sequence.

The place was first mentioned in 1229 as "Arberch". The place name is derived from an identical field name, the defining word of which is the Middle High German word "Ar" (= eagle). At that time it was the seat of the Eichstätter inheritance taverns ( see also: Arberg Castle ). Between 1319 and 1512, the Eichstätt monastery acquired all of the properties in Arberg and set up a maintenance and caste office there in 1602. From 1500 Arberg belonged to the Franconian Empire . In 1454 the place was first called market.

During the witch hunt in the Hochstift Eichstätt at least four women from Arberg were arrested for witchcraft. Two of them were released again (Anna Schmelz 1590, Anna Spindlerin before 1620) while Apollonia Hartliebin in 1616 and Anna Gölderin from Großlellenfeld were executed on September 24, 1627.

Since the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss of 1803, the place, like large parts of Franconia, has belonged to Bavaria (see also History of Franconia ). With the community edict (early 19th century) the tax district Arberg was formed, to which the places Georgenhaag , Goldbühl , Gothendorf , Kemmathen , Mörsach , Oberschönau , Unterschönau and Waffenmühle belonged. A little later, the rural community of Arberg was formed with Ober- and Unterschönau . It was subject to the Herrieden district court in terms of administration and jurisdiction . In 1961 the municipality had an area of ​​7.770 km².

Incorporations

Ober- and Unterschönau belonged to the historic Arberg market . As part of the regional reform in Bavaria on January 1, 1971, the following previously independent municipalities and their suburbs were incorporated into Arberg: Mörsach (with Georgenhaag and Gothendorf ), Kemmathen (with Goldbühl ), and the hamlet of Waffenmühle , which previously became an independent municipality of Wiesethbruck (today part of the municipality of Markt Bechhofen an der Heide ) belonged. Lellenfeld (with Eybburg , Großlellenfeld and Kleinlellenfeld ) was incorporated into Arberg on May 1, 1978.
