Brombach is a parish of Haundorf in the central Franconian district of Weißenburg-Gunzenhausen and has 136 inhabitants.

Geographical location

The place is located in the Franconian Lake District south of Graefensteinberg at about 439  m above sea level. NN a little to the east of the not very prominent Kammerberg ( 460.1  m above sea level ), but over which the European main watershed between the stream system of the Altmühl flowing to the Danube runs on the other side and that of the Brombach , which ultimately drains to the Rhine , which gave the village its name. This brook has its source about a kilometer to the northwest, feeds some ponds and then runs through it eastwards; two hundred meters after the local border he passes the sewage treatment plant. The small and large Brombachsee , which it continues down through, are named after the Brombach . Less than 500 meters south-east of the outskirts, its first significant tributary, the Reutbach, arises in the vast Graefensteinberg Forest , which narrowly delimits the area in the south. The fields of the village are therefore mainly north of the initially flat ascent to Wolfsberg, which is at its greatest height at over 510  m above sea level. NN only reached in the mentioned neighboring village, while the place Brombach itself is mainly on the right bank of the village stream. On the south-western edge of the village, in front of the Graefensteinberg forest, there is a sand pit that is still in operation, and an abandoned one on the northeast.

history

According to the Salbuch of the Teutonic Order Coming of Nuremberg from 1343, the municipal bailiff Eschenbach in Brombach owned "1 Hube , 3 fiefs and Gülten".

The place was together with Brand, Geiselsberg, Geislohe and Röthenhof until the municipal reform in Bavaria , which came into force on July 1, 1972, a district of Graefensteinberg in the former district of Gunzenhausen .

monument

In the center of the village, near the central fork in the road, is the Evangelical branch church of St. Johannis Baptist. The church has three axes, contains a statue of St. Vitus from 1490 and has a roof turret with a helmet. The previous church was destroyed in the Thirty Years War , which is why the current church was built from 1752 to 1754. During a renovation from 1979 to 1982, the north gallery was dismantled and the pulpit was removed from the altar. The altar received a picture of the baptism of Jesus from 1984.

traffic

Communal roads lead to Graefensteinberg in the north, Röthenhof in the east and southwest to the B 466 beyond the Graefensteinberg forest.
