history
The oldest written mention dates from the year 1334. It was recorded that the Tuerbrunn estate was sold to St. Theodor in Bamberg . Around 1400 the lords of Aufseß also appear as landlords.
The place name Dürrbrunn indicates the water shortage in the Jura area . The fountains always played a vital role, as evidenced by numerous mentions in the chronicles. The Geuderquelle was the only usable water supply in the village until the water pipeline was built in 1932. Today it only pours periodically, its well is still the center of the village.
Dürrbrunn was an independent municipality in the district of Ebermannstadt until the municipal area reform with the districts of Volkmannsreuth and Kolmhof . In 1971 it was dissolved as part of the municipal reform. The place Dürrbrunn with Kolmhof was incorporated into Unterleinleiter, Volkmannsreuth came to the market in Heiligenstadt .
A chapel was first mentioned in 1867. It is not known when it was built. It was expanded in 1885/86 and replaced in 1951 by a new chapel on Dorfstrasse.
Legend of the "Frozen Children of Dürrbrunn"
South of the village, towards the Eggolsheim district of Drgendorf, there is a memorial erected in 1993 for the 6 so-called “Frozen Children from Dürrbrunn”, who are said to have died in a snow storm at this point on their way to school. The year is not mentioned. The district archivist Georg Knörlein has researched that this event did not occur. Rather, on January 20, 1694, two sisters from near Stuttgart got caught in deep snow and one of the two, Anna Maria Grosmännin, died as a result. Her burial is documented in the register of the parish of Niedermirsberg for the years 1662–1744 on page 167 under “Funerals” together with the circumstances surrounding her death.
The general compulsory education was established in the Kingdom of Bavaria enforced until 1802, the church books and chronicles the region have no such deaths of children after.
