history

Middle Ages and early modern times

When Burkheim was founded is unclear. It was first mentioned in writing as "Wirkheim" in a deed of donation from Bamberg Bishop Eckbert von Andechs-Meranien to the Langheim monastery in 1230. Over the centuries, the name and its spelling changed slightly: "Würckheim" (1317), "Würrekheim "(1318)," Burckheim "(1337)," Burcheimb "(1358) and" Purckheim "(1520).

In the late Middle Ages, Burkheim was largely unaffected by major wars such as the Hussite invasions in 1430, the Peasants 'War of 1525 and the Thirty Years' War . In contrast to other Langheim villages, no records of any war events were kept about Burkheim.

As a result of the construction project of a water pipe, which was revolutionary for the time, the village was supplied with running water from the Kordigast from 1666 . The line was built by the villagers. It was also the task of every household to manufacture a wooden pipe and make it available for the construction of the water pipe. The wooden pipes were replaced by iron pipes in 1894 and these were replaced by cast iron pipes in 1954, together with the construction of the elevated tank .

19th century until today

Around 1801 Burkheim was still part of the Bamberg Monastery. The fiefs and the bailiwick belonged to the Langheim monastery . The pastor of Altenkunstadt also had property in Burkheim, as the parish was already in Altenkunstadt at that time. Also Weismain and Lichtenfels there had fiefs . From 1818 Burkheim was a separate municipality, with Tauschendorf as the only other district. The mayor was a volunteer.

After Burkheim had had a fresh water pipeline since 1666, a sewage system and sewer system were built in 1953. Through the physical and financial contribution of the residents, a school was built in 1958 at the eastern end of the village. The old chapel was torn down in 1964 and a new one was built by 1966 at the endeavors of the chapel building association founded in 1962. Its first renovation, in which the facade was renewed, took place in 1989.

Almost 150 years after it was founded, the municipality of Burkheim was incorporated into Altenkunstadt on January 1, 1977 as part of the municipal reform. Since then, the school-age children of Burkheim have been attending the Altenkunstadter school, and the village's own school operations have been terminated. Between 1988 and 1994, the village was renewed at the same time as the state road that ran through the village was expanded. In 1996 the district horticultural show was held in the village, which attracted around 15,000 visitors. In 1998 Burkheim was awarded the gold medal in the competition Our village should become more beautiful - our village has the future as one of three Bavarian villages at federal level.
