history

Similar to Neugrub, the place name refers to the natural occurrences in the vicinity of the village. The suffix -grub comes from the Middle High German word gruobe , which means pit or quarry . The old place was probably in a hollow. Burggrub, also known as Altengrub to distinguish it from the younger Neugrub, would then be the castle near the terrain pit or the quarry.

The place was first mentioned in 1298. At that time, Count Heinrich II zu Castell gave the Ebrach monastery some rights in its rule. Among other things, “Grůbe” is listed in the certificate. The Cistercian monks from Ebrach still had a share in the village rule in 1340. The village appeared in the land register of the abbey. It was not until 1448 that the monks sold their goods and rights in "Grub". The lords of Crailsheim became the new lords of the village.

Around 1500 the residents of Grub also cultivated the fields of the deserted settlement of Ilmenau. The description of ownership from 1504 lists Grub as being owned by the "Creylshamer", while the important shaft drive was still in the hands of the Counts of Castell in 1563 . In 1568 Sebastian von Weingarten received "Grueb" as an inheritance from the Crailsheimers. In the second half of the 16th century the village was completely deserted for a short time, it was only settled again when the Crailsheimers bought it again.

The name Burggrub appeared for the first time in 1629, probably also because Neugrub, an expansion site with a similar name, existed in the immediate vicinity. Wolf von Crailsheim had the desert settled again and built a small castle. In 1732 Burggrub was part of the Schwarzenberg rule . In 1972 the place became part of the newly formed Geiselwind community, previously Burggrub was part of the Wasserberndorf community.
