The place is located in the southern Franconian Jura north-northeast of the main town Rennertshofen on the eastern edge of the southern Wellheim dry valley . The village can be reached via the state road St 2047 leading from Rennertshofen to Dollnstein and the district road ND 24 leading down from Gammersfeld into the valley .

Place name interpretation

The place name was formed from the word "Eller" = "Alder"; it means "alder that was at a (near the village) spring".

history

A Roman manor was found near Ellenbrunn. Presumably there was a break in settlement here after the Roman times. The re-opening of the corridor with resettlement took place no later than the 9th century under the Carolingians . Because in 955, soon after their extinction, King Otto I gave the Eichstätter Bishop Starchand a king's hoof in “Elimprunn” in Sualafeldgau . The place was the seat of the Lords of Ellenbrunn , who from the 12th century to the end of the 14th century can be traced as ministerials of the Counts of Lechsgemünd-Graisbach . Your castle, which no longer exists, is said to have stood on the Ellenbrunnerberg, which rises behind the Ellenbrunner Church. From the 16th century the village belonged to the Count Palatinate of Neuburg , later until the beginning of the 19th century to the Churpfalzbaierischen Duchy of Neuburg.

At the end of the Old Kingdom (1802), Ellenbrunn consisted of 18 properties. The district court of Neuburg exercised the lower jurisdiction , the tax administration was with the local bailiff's office. One courtyard belonged to the Kaisheim monastery and a half courtyard belonged to the Malteser Großballei as a legal successor to the Neuburg monastery . The St. Willibald Choir in Eichstätt owned two farms, the St. Walburg Monastery in Eichstätt owned six houses. The Widumgut belonged to the parish of Wellheim, the Heiligengut and a house to the parish of Mauern. In addition to the parish shepherd's house and the inn without landlord taxes, the cathedral chapter of Augsburg is said to have owned land in Ellenbrunn.

In the Kingdom of Bavaria, Ellenbrunn was part of the Hütting tax district in the Neuburg Regional Court and Rent Office. With the parish edict of 1818, the tax district of Hütting became a parish which, in addition to the parish village itself and the parish village of Ellenbrunn, also included the desert fields of Feldmühle, Giglberg and Wolpertsau. In the Swabian district of Neuburg, Hütting and its districts remained an independent municipality until 1978.

In 1857, in a parish description from Wellheim, Ellenbrunn was described as "very wealthy"; At that time 80 people lived in the 13 houses of the village. A decade later, 85 people lived in the village with its 46 buildings. The census of June 6, 1961 showed Ellenbrunn 100 inhabitants and 19 residential buildings. In 2014 the number of inhabitants had decreased to 70.

Hütting and with it Ellenbrunn became Upper Bavarian in 1972 in the course of the regional reform in Bavaria with the district of Neuburg (from May 1, 1973 " District of Neuburg-Schrobenhausen "). On May 1, 1978, Hütting and thus also Ellenbrunn were incorporated into the Rennertshofen market.

The lost Lohof was between Ellenbrunn and the walls.

Catholic branch church St. Martin

The original medieval choir tower church was brought into its current baroque shape in 1711 . Instead of the tower removed from the upper floors, which received the first lightning rod in the Duchy of Neuburg in 1789 , the church now has a roof turret above the choir in the east . Most of the furnishings date from the 17th and 18th centuries. Since time immemorial, the branch church has belonged to the parish of Wellheim in the diocese of Augsburg, from 1933 to the parish of Mauern and today to the Rennertshofen parish community. In the Protestant phase of Pfalz-Neuburg (1542-1618) Ellenbrunn belonged to the Reformed parish of Rohrbach.

Attractions

  • A historic well pump with a stone cattle trough can be seen in front of the fire station.
  • The prehistoric natural monument "Steinerer Mann" to be found southwest of Ellenbrunn on the state road by a small group of trees consists of a two-meter-long lying monolith (resembling a "man" with arms crossed on his chest) and a plinth-like stone next to it (interpreted as a loaf of bread ), both made of limestone. It is probably the remains of a boundary stone - first recorded on a map in 1417 - between the Sualafeldgau and the Bavarian Nordgau. There are several legends entwined with the stone, such as the one of the stingy and irascible Lohof farmer, who was turned to stone with his bread after a curse.
