Berau is a district of the Baden-Württemberg community of Ühlingen-Birkendorf in the Waldshut district .
geography
The district of Berau is located on a southern plateau 663 m NHH above the Schlucht and Schwarza valleys .
history
At Berau there was a refuge, the Berauerhorn Castle . The place is mentioned for the first time in 786. Berau belonged to the division of the empire of Charlemagne to Alpgau and later became part of the Landgraviate Stühlingen .
At the time of the St. Blasian abbot Rustenus , as Abbot Caspar I writes in his chronicle, the knight Gottfried von Berau lived on the Berauer Berg. He gave all his possessions to the monastery of St. Blasien . That happened around 1110. From 1240 to 1247 Arnold von Berau was abbot in St. Blasien. The knights of Berau had three black bear heads in their coat of arms. The founder of the St. Blasien monastery, Reginbert von Seldenbüren , also had the bear's head in his coat of arms. Abbot Heinrich IV had a toboggan built for the Berau church in 1349 .
Originally the Vogtrecht belonged to the Lords of Eschenbach. Agnes von Eschenbach was married to Count Mangold von Nellenburg , he sold the Vogtrecht for 135 marks silver in 1448 to the family in the town of Schaffhausen . In 1478 St. Blasien acquired all rights. In 1612 Abbot Martin I of St. Blasien acquired the rule from Maximilian von Pappenheim .
After Gutenburg Castle was destroyed in 1640, Berau was subordinated to the Obervogtei Gurtweil (but the rule was St. Blasien).
The Berau monastery burned down several times , but was renewed again and again through donations from the surrounding nobility, such as the Krenkingen , the Im Thurn , the von Schellenberg , the von Grießen , the von Lupfen and the von Reischach benefactors of the monastery.
On January 1, 1975, Berau was incorporated into the new community of Ühlingen-Birkendorf.
church
The former Romanesque church was rebuilt after the fire in 1853. It is dedicated to St. Pancras .
