Betzenhof is a hamlet in the municipality of Rosenberg in the Ostalbkreis in northeast Baden-Württemberg .
Location and description
Betzenhof is 480 m above sea level. NHN in the northwest of the Ellwanger Berge , a lower natural area of the Swabian-Franconian Forest mountains . Here in the northern area of the densely wooded Ellwang Mountains there is still the surface leveling of the silica sandstone ( Hassberge formation ) of the upper Mittelkeuper . The small town with half a dozen house numbers and a number of agricultural outbuildings is located on the uppermost Blinden Rot, mainly on the low spur of the mouth of the 2.2 km long Kaltenbach , which runs to it from the right, in front of a grove through which the river is not yet 5 km long flows south. A hundred meters above the mouth of the river, it is dammed up to the Betzenweiher , a 0.7 hectare Sägmühlweiher directly on site. The elongated wooden building of the associated sawmill stands on the embankment, which is also used by the municipal road that opens up the Betzenhof. The other buildings belong to the farms that still shape the image of the place today.
Betzenhof is located together with the Lindenhof, which is about 600 meters upstream, in a small bulge in the northwest of the Rosenberg municipality and thus also the Ostalb district into the Schwäbisch Hall district , which is only connected to the rest of the Rosenberg area by a narrow terrain hose through the aforementioned Waldenge. This occupies a less than 0.8 km², not completely closed clearing island, which, with the exception of the two settlement areas, belongs to the Upper Blinde-Rot-Tal nature reserve. In the north the open corridor borders on the Schäfer forest , in the southeast on the Harbach forest , both belong to the Frankenhardt community , and in the southwest on the Heide forest of the Bühlertann community .
The hamlet is located about 4 km north-west of the municipality in Rosenberg. The next larger cities are Ellwangen about 14 km in the southeast, Crailsheim about 13 km in the northeast and Schwäbisch Hall about 20 km in the northwest (both as the crow flies ).
history
Betzenhof is first mentioned in the Thirty Years' War in 1634, when a resident of the town was shot by Spanish horsemen in the nearby forest. After the battle of Nördlingen in the same year, the area paid a heavy toll in blood when it was occupied by the imperial family . In 1710 it was owned by a subject from Hall, and the Topographia Ellvacensis from 1733 names the place Hallisch. It belonged to the Honhardt office of the imperial city and came under Prussian rule with this in 1796 . Ecclesiastically it still belongs to the Protestant parish of Hummelsweiler in the church district of Crailsheim . In 1886 there was a population of 16.
traffic
Local roads connect Betzenhof with Willa in the south, Fronrot in the west, both on the L 1060, and with the K 2638 near Mainkling in the northeast. From the last-mentioned route, a road branches off to the east through the extensive Harbach forest in the direction of Hummelsweiler . The nearest train stations are about 16 km on the road in Ellwangen on the Oberen Jagstbahn , after about 19 km at the railway junction in Crailsheim and after about 21 km in Ilshofen - Eckartshausen on the Crailsheim – Heilbronn line and after about 24 km at the same in Schwäbisch Hall- Hessental , where the Schwäbisch Hall-Hessental-Waiblingen railway branches off from it. The next motorway connections are in the northeast at the Crailsheim junction of the A 6 and in the east at the Dinkelsbühl - Fichtenau junction of the A 7 .
