history

Until the church is planted

The place was first mentioned in 1245 as "Burch". The place name simply means castle .

Burk initially belonged to the Bamberg monastery and from 1500 to the Franconian Empire .

In 1366 the Heilsbronn monastery bought a farmstead in Burk from Hans Lesch. In the following centuries there were further acquisitions of goods, meadows and fishing waters. During the 30-year war , the place was mostly burned down and deserted in the following time. The church was not rebuilt until 1673.

The Burgraves of Nuremberg and later Margraves of Ansbach acquired control of the municipality in the 14th century. The place was in the Fraisch district of the Ansbach Oberamt Wassertrüdingen . In addition to Ansbach, the county of Oettingen was also wealthy in the village. From 1418 these possessions were administered by the Oberamt Aufkirchen . After the Thirty Years' War, the community became the new home of numerous exile families from Austria who had to flee before the Counter Reformation.

Burk was in the Fraisch district of the Ansbach Oberamt Wassertrüdingen . The Ansbach administration office Forndorf held the village and community rulership . At the end of the 18th century there were 64 properties in Burk. Were landlords

• Ansbachian offices (45 properties; Forndorf administration office : 1 tavern , 7 goods, 1 estate with commercial law, 10 estate, 1 estate with blacksmithing rights, 5 Sölden , 1 house, 1 brickworks ; Waizendorf administration : 1 yard, 1 courtyard, 8 goods, 1 Good with economy, 1 good with smithy, 4 half-goods, 2 houses)
• the Eichstätt monastery (19 properties; Herrieden monastery chapter : 1 courtyard, 2 half courtyards, 11 estates, 1 estate with commercial and brewing rights, 1 estate with licensing rights, 1 drip house , 1 little house; box office Ornbau : 1 house)

There was also a church, a parsonage, a schoolhouse, and a community pastor's house.

In 1792 the Ansbach subjects came to Ansbach-Bayreuth , administered by Prussia , and finally in 1802 the Eichstatt subjects as well. From 1804 to 1808 the place was subordinate to the Justice and Chamber Office Wassertrüdingen . The Ansbach subjects belonged to these offices as early as 1797, the Eichstatt subjects initially to the Neunstetten Judicial Commission from 1802 to 1804 .

In 1806 Burk came to the Kingdom of Bavaria . As a result of the municipality edict in 1809 which was tax district and the Rural Municipality Burk made to the and including the regions of Bruck , Flinsmühle , Meier village , grinding mill and Wolfershof belonged. With the second community edict (1818), two rural communities emerged:

• Burk with Bruck, Flinzmühle and Schleifmühle
• Miegendorf with Wolfershof.

In 1849, the community of Miegendorf was incorporated into Burk again. A little later, the Schneckenhof was built in the municipality .

The municipality of Burk was under the administration and jurisdiction of the district court Wassertrüdingen and in the financial administration of the Rentamt Wassertrüdingen ( renamed in 1919 to Finanzamt Wassertrüdingen , 1932–1973 tax office Gunzenhausen , since 1973 tax office Ansbach ). The jurisdiction remained with the district court Wassertrüdingen until 1879, from 1879 to 1956 the district court Wassertrüdingen was responsible, from 1956 to 1970 the district court Gunzenhausen and from 1970 to 1973 the district court Dinkelsbühl , which has been a branch of the district court Ansbach since 1973 . The administration was taken over by the newly created Dinkelsbühl district office in 1862 (renamed the Dinkelsbühl district in 1938 ). With the dissolution of the Dinkelsbühl district in 1972, Burk came to the Ansbach district. The municipality of Burk temporarily (around 1900 to 1960) only had an area of ​​11.320 km², since the Burk Forest was a municipality-free area during this period .

badges and flags

The community has had a coat of arms since 1978.

Blazon : "Under the shield head quartered by silver and blackin red, two free-standing silver bars with four battlements each." Black-white-red municipal flag

Justification for the coat of arms: The two silver bars come from the coat of arms of the Lords of Burk, which can be traced back to the 13th century. At the same time, the bars speak for the place name. The colors red and silver are reminiscent of the Eichstätt bishopric , which held the patronage rights for the parish of Burk. The tolling of silver and black in the shield head points to the sovereignty of the Margraves of Brandenburg-Ansbach .
