history

Emersacker (near Emheri's field) grew out of a single farm - perhaps from a Franconian manor. There is evidence that Emersacker first appeared in 1169, when Heinrich von Emersacker signed a document as a witness. In another document from the Augsburg bishopric of February 23, 1361, Schrag von Emersacker appeared as a witness for Chuntz. Around 1606 Emersacker passed to Hans Friedrich Schertlin von Burtenbach, who sold it to the Fugger in 1613 . In 1658 Emersacker came to the foundations of the Fugger House and in 1672 was sold to Rudolf von und zu Schaumburg. In 1688 Emersacker was sold to the Augsburg Math. Koch von Gaillebach, H. Sulzer and HJ Friedrich Langenmantel. Around 1700 Emersacker finally came to the Fugger Foundation. Since the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss of 1803 the place belongs to Bavaria. In the course of the administrative reforms in Bavaria , today's municipality was created with the municipal edict of 1818 .

In the center of the village is still the Fugger Castle, which housed the Fugger Foundation Brewery until 1966. This building was acquired by the municipality in 1989 and has already been partially rebuilt and renovated. The new town hall, a clubhouse and the music practice room have been housed since 1993, the new fire station since 1999 and the youth club since 2005.

The heraldic lily and the colors gold and blue are reminiscent of the rule of the Fuggers, who were wealthy in the village and held the local authority. The red ear of wheat in the coat of arms indicates the rural structure of the municipality.

• Fugger Castle Emersacker

Emersacker Castle was built in the middle of the 12th century by the nobles von Emersacker. It was destroyed in the Schmalkaldic War in 1546. The Fuggers, who bought it in the early 17th century, built a new building that was demolished in the mid-19th century. The preserved round towers with onion domes and the outbuildings are reminiscent of the former manor house.
