history
Until the church is planted
The place was first mentioned in 1123 as "Uraha". The place name is derived from the name of the water body, whose defining word is “ūr” ( mhd. For aurochs ) and whose basic word is “ahe” (mhd. For river). It was used to designate a river on which aurochs went to water.
After 1310, today's municipality came into the possession of the Hochstift Eichstätt , which was part of the Franconian Empire from 1500 . Since the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss of 1803 the place like large parts of Franconia belongs to Bavaria (see also history of Franconia )
With the community edict (early 19th century), the tax district Aurach was formed, to which the places Hilsbach , Stadel and Wahrberg belonged. A little later the rural community was formed with Hilsbach and Wahrberg . It was subject to the Herrieden district court in terms of administration and jurisdiction . The community originally had an area of 13.644 km².
According to a listing from 1830, the place belonged to an extensive forest area between Leutershausen and Sulz Monastery with the main town Brunst, called "the Brünst" or "the Brunst", which has been cleared in places since the Middle Ages . The Brünst was known for its good cattle breeding; their 22 settlements were considered rich.
Incorporations
On July 1, 1972, part of the former municipality of Büchelberg was incorporated. On May 1, 1978, the formerly independent municipality of Weinberg was added as part of the municipal reform .
Population development
In the period from 1988 to 2018, the population increased from 2,500 to 2,916 by 416 inhabitants or by 16.6%.

Foundation of the coat of arms: The municipality of Aurach has consisted of the formerly independent municipalities of Aurach and Weinberg since 1978. The aurochs stands for the place name. From 1310 to 1796 the towns were under the Eichstätt monastery . The colors gold and red of the Eichstätter cathedral chapter as well as silver and red of the bishopric are reminiscent of this long lasting connection. Sword and key are the attributes of Paul and Peter and represent the parish church in Aurach, which is dedicated to these saints. The arrow is the attribute of St. Aegidius and points to the former St. Aegidius parish church in Weinberg (today: Church of the Seven Sorrows of Mary). |
