Einbach is a village in the Neckar-Odenwald district that has belonged to the city of Buchen (Odenwald) since 1973 .

geography

Einbach is about eight kilometers southwest of Buchen. Einbach includes the village of Einbach and the Einbacher Mühle farm .

history

The place probably originated in the 10th or 11th century as a clearing settlement from Bödigheim in the course of the settlement in building land and Odenwald initiated by the Amorbach monastery . The supremacy was initially with the Lords of Dürn , the monastery governors of Amorbach and court lords of the Mudauer Zent , in whose area Einbach was. Messrs Rüdt von Amorbach (later Rüdt von Collenberg ) acted as servants for the Dürner . Einbach was first mentioned in a document in 1306 in the will of Weiprecht Rüdt. Only a few and partly contradicting documents are available about the early history of the place. The Rüdt probably owned a farm in Einbach, later also other property and parts of the local rule. In 1326 a herald's nest from Obrigheim is said to have owned "almost the entire village" of Einbach as a Würzburg fief, but when he died in 1359 this property was no longer mentioned. The ownership, including the Einbacher Mühle, first mentioned in 1395, and the manorial lordship were then again mainly owned by Amorbach Monastery and Messrs. Rüdt under the sovereignty of the Diocese of Mainz , which also came into the possession of the former Rüdtschen Hof through an exchange of goods around 1500 and this through hereditary tenants let farm. A mayor was first mentioned in Einbach in 1408 and was used by the Amorbach monastery.

In the Thirty Years' War Einbach suffered from multiple troop movements. In the last year of the war, 1648, three families lived in the village. In 1660 there were seven farmed estates as well as the Einbacher Mühle, then part of the Reichertsgut , as well as two desolate estates , in addition to the Kameralhof in Mainz . The structure of the place goes back mainly to these goods to this day. In a list of serfs in the Mudauer Zent from 1663, 35 residents are named, plus the three residents of the Kameralhof, so that at least 38 people lived in Einbach this year. In 1679/80 the Mainz Kameralhof was bought by the Amorbach monastery, which initially managed the farm itself, but after a short time also appointed hereditary tenants. The farm in Einbach had extensive sheep farming rights in the surrounding area. In 1694 there were 250 sheep, in 1707 there were 300 and in 1749 there were 400 sheep. Around 1700 a second mill was built with the granulator.

With the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss of February 1803, the Archbishopric Mainz lost its sovereign rights and the Amorbach Monastery was abolished. The monastery property and thus Einbach fell to the newly founded principality of Leiningen . In the course of the dissolution of Mudauer Zent and the reorganization of the administrative system, Einbach became an independent municipality. While the Principality of Leiningen and thus Einbach came to the Grand Duchy of Baden in 1806 , the Prince of Leiningen remained a registrar in the Leiningen territories. The double taxes and the remote location within Baden made the area around Einbach in the 19th century the emergency area known as Badisch Siberia , which was characterized by the increasing poverty of its residents.

From 1816 onwards, all fronds , tithes , validities and other feudal rights were gradually replaced , but in the small, purely agricultural town, the required transfer fees led to the bankruptcy of the community and the indebtedness of the residents. The strong population growth during the early 19th century with constant low employment opportunities as well as the famine that broke out between 1842 and 1847 due to several bad harvests increased poverty. In 1847 Einbach was one of the 36 municipalities in the emergency area that were examined by gardening director Johann Metzger on behalf of the Baden Ministry of the Interior. Metzger reported on the town, which had 176 inhabitants at the time, that the buildings were in the most deplorable condition and in danger of collapsing and that many residents had already offered their goods for sale because of the threat of bankruptcy. Metzger promised potential investors the possibility of acquiring a large coherent property in order to establish a model farm and told the Einbach residents that it would be best for them to emigrate.

In the following period there were negotiations in 1851/52 with the Stiftschaffnerei Mosbach to acquire the Einbach district. While the negotiations dragged on, there were already the first foreclosures in Einbach. A single buyer could not be found. In 1854/55, Friedrich Wilhelm Schulz from Frankfurt acquired all of the goods north of the Dorfbach, and thus around half of the town, and founded a large agricultural business there, which, however, only existed for a few years due to the agricultural crisis. As early as 1869 Schulz sold large areas of forest and in 1873 he negotiated with the municipality of Einbach for the sale of the entire property, which was ultimately parceled out to various farmers and the monastery in Mosbach, from which it was later parceled out to various local smallholders. In 1878 there were 26 farms in Einbach with around 155 inhabitants.

Contrary to the development of larger towns in the Baden hinterland, the population grew to 220 inhabitants by 1919. At the same time, several other farms developed. 1935–1945 Einbach was incorporated into Waldhausen . After the Second World War, the population of evacuated and displaced persons was briefly counted to 246. However, since they did not find any employment opportunities in Einbach, they quickly emigrated, with the exception of two families. Agriculture remained an important line of business in Einbach for a long time. From 1955 onwards there was an increased number of commuters to industrial jobs in the area, but there were 26 farms in 1968, as many as 90 years earlier. On December 31, 1973 Einbach was incorporated into Buchen.

In the recent past the number of farms has decreased to a few. In 2005 there were still 5 farms with 191 inhabitants.

coat of arms

The blazon of the former municipality coat of arms of Einbach reads: In red a growing golden crook.

Culture and sights

The town's council and school building was built in 1904 to replace the old town hall located elsewhere and the old schoolhouse, which was also located elsewhere and last expanded in 1875. The building was used as a town hall and school building until 1970, and only as a town hall until 1973. After it was incorporated into Buchen, the building was renovated and has been used for various festivities since then.
