history
Bauerbach owes the oldest mention of the place name to the monks of the Lorsch monastery near Worms . In their Codex-Traditionum Laureshamensis they noted that on April 26, 778 Rutger gave them land in villa Burach for the salvation of his father Willo's soul .
In the Middle Ages , Bauerbach was an imperial property. King Albrecht I named it in a Latin document from May 3, 1305 expressly "his and the empire's village of Burbach" when he pledged it to the noble Zeisolf von Magenheim . He does not seem to have kept the village for very long, because in 1330 Emperor Ludwig the Bavarian transferred "the court and the village of Burbach" to Albrecht Hoffwart von Kirchheim. Until 1473 the place remained mainly owned by this family (see also: Burg Bauerbach ).
Before that, Bauerbach must have been divided among various feudal lords , since in 1405 part of the imperial fiefdom was transferred to the Bretten citizen Umbel for a sum of money. The right of patronage - and thus the right to propose to the local clergy - was owned by the Hirsau Monastery as early as 1348. The abbey also had the right to appoint the mayor in Bauerbach. In 1473, with the consent of Emperor Friedrich III. allows Abbot Bernhard von Hirsau to redeem the village of Burbach pledged for 100 silver marks from Balthasar von Tüngen .

In 1511 the Bauerbach Monastery sold to the Speyer Cathedral Chapter . As a result, Bauerbach stayed with the Speyer monastery for almost 300 years and when it was dissolved in 1803 it came to the later Grand Duchy of Baden . The Jewish community of Bauerbach was founded in the 18th century and existed until 1894.
With the dissolution of the district of Bretten in 1936, the municipality of Bauerbach became part of the district of Karlsruhe. In 1946 there were over 200 refugees and displaced persons , which led to a sharp increase in the population. On February 2, 1972, Bauerbach became a district of Bretten. The Bauerbach district to the north of the core town of Bretten today has around 1300 inhabitants.
The Bauerbach viaduct , built in the 1980s , with a length of 748 m, the second longest bridge on the Mannheim – Stuttgart high-speed route , was named after the district.
