history

View of Bernbrunn

The first written mention of the place dates back to 1308. Little is known about the early history of the place. The place is possibly related to a Bernus who made donations to the Lorsch Abbey in the surrounding areas in the 8th century . A knight from Steinach named Berenbruner, named in 1270, and a brother Hermann von Bernbrunen, also mentioned in the High Middle Ages at the Deutschhauskapelle in Mergentheim , could be representatives of an early local nobility who might have sat at Bernbrunn. In the 14th century, the tithe was held by the Wimpfen monastery .

For a long time the place consisted of three courtyards: Ordenshof, Spitalhof and Heuchlinghof. Ownership of the farms changed several times until, in the 17th century, two of the farms were owned by the Mosbach Hospital and one of the farms was owned by the Teutonic Order . The administrative rights over the courtyards of the Mosbacher Hospital lay with the Electoral Palatinate . The hamlet was destroyed or abandoned in the Thirty Years' War and from 1657 onwards it was repopulated from Höchstberg , although the ownership structure remained fragmented. In church terms, the residents of Bernbrunn belonged to Allfeld .

When the Teutonic Order was dissolved, ownership of the order came to the Kingdom of Württemberg , while the former Palatinate property, which was privately owned by the Bernbrunn farmers until 1856, was transferred to the Grand Duchy of Baden . In the years 1857 to 1861, 1900 to 1906 and 1922 to 1930, Baden and Württemberg negotiated unsuccessfully about a uniform nationality.

The village was incorporated into Allfeld in 1935 and, following a majority resolution of the residents in 1955, came from Allfeld to Höchstberg on April 1, 1962 with an area of ​​88 hectares and 37 inhabitants , and on January 1, 1975 to Gundelsheim. Bernbrunn is still dominated by agriculture and has no infrastructure worth mentioning.
