Location of the city of Erbach in the Odenwald district | ||
Erbach is the district town of the Odenwaldkreis in southern Hesse .
geography
Geographical location
The urban area of Erbach is located in the red sandstone area of the Odenwald . Here it occupies the southern upper end of the valley range of the Mümling, which runs in a south-north direction, and extends in the west and east up to the eight kilometers distant heights that the Mümlingtal from the Mossau valley in one direction and from the Mudtal and Ittertal in the other way. The urban area stretches along the Mümling from the Michelstädter outskirts in the north to seven and a half kilometers to the Marbach and the Himbachel in the south.
In the north, directly on the Mümling, the core town of Erbach is the first, followed up the valley by Lauerbach, Schönnen and Ebersberg. In the left western side valleys in the far north are the hamlet of Roßbach in the headwaters of the stream of the same name, which reaches the city center through the Brudergrund . South of Roßbach follow one another after Elsbach, Günterfürst and Haisterbach. The development of Dorf-Erbach, which is located on the Erdbach , is seamlessly connected to the east of the city center . Further east on the source brooks of the Erdbach, surrounded by forest, are Ernsbach and Erbuch. Erlenbach connects to the southeastern end of the city center. The furthest away from the city center and the highest at 515 m is the Waldhufendorf Bullau, which lies behind the watershed to the Euterbach and is therefore the only Erbach district that does not drain to the Mümling, but to the Neckar . In the Bullau district, on the one hand, there are the hamlets of Bullauer Eutergrund on the state border with Bavaria and, with the Kohlwald ( 560.4 m above sea level ), the highest point in the Odenwald district. The core town of Erbach is at its lowest at 210 m above sea level. NN and the banks of the Mümling on the city limits to Michelstadt at 200 m above sea level. NN .
Neighboring communities
Erbach borders in the north on the city of Michelstadt , in the east on the Markt Kirchzell ( district Miltenberg in Bavaria ), in the south on the city of Oberzent and in the west on the community Mossautal (both in the Odenwaldkreis).
The cities of Erbach and Michelstadt, with their centers only two kilometers apart, have long since grown together structurally and with a combined population of almost 30,000 form the economic focus of the Odenwald district. A merger of the two cities planned for 2009 was prevented by a referendum in November 2007. Both sides are now looking for other ways of deepening communal cooperation.

- Bullau with the hamlet of Bullauer Eutergrund (common district )

history
The place was first mentioned in a document in 1095 in the Lorsch Codex under the name "Ertbach". In 1180 there the first owner in the Valley of Mümling built a moated castle , the remains of which can be admired today. The place was surrounded by a city wall together with the castle and since then the residence city of the Counts of Erbach-Erbach . There has been a town hall since 1545 and in 1560 Erbach received city rights together with the coat of arms and seal.
The city's history experienced a decisive turning point through the Thirty Years' War (1618 to 1648) and the associated plague epidemics . Further wars and freak weather were not exactly conducive to further urban development. In 1750 the town church replaced the old town chapel from 1370. The introduction of ivory carving in 1783 is due to the last imperial count Franz I.
After mediatization in 1806, the imperial county of Erbach , which had belonged to the Franconian imperial circle since 1500 , came into the possession of the Grand Duchy of Hesse and then became the district town of Erbach.
Despite steady growth since 1945, Erbach has largely been able to preserve its historical legacy. The German Ivory Museum Erbach has existed since 1966 , the only special museum of its kind for ivory art in Europe.
In the area of the orangery and the palace gardens, a citizens' initiative was able to prevent their demolition and the construction of a high-rise hotel instead of the orangery in the 1970s.
The monument to Count Franz I - the last ruling count - which fell from its pedestal on July 28, 2005 and was broken in the process, was repaired and rebuilt with the support of two Darmstadt artists and citizens of Erbach. The restoration was financed by grants from the State Office for Monument Preservation and donations.
A merger with Michelstadt was rejected in November 2007 with 52 percent of the vote in a referendum.
Until 2011, the city had the title of state-recognized health resort .

coat of arms
Blazon : In red, a blue sloping bar with three red stars .
In 1560, Count Eberhard von Erbach gave his city of Erbach this coat of arms, which is described as follows : a red scolding, thus a bare stream or river and in such a stream three red stars . The seal procured at that time with the inscription: STAT ERBACH contains the awarded coat of arms : an (apparent) sloping bar with three stars, but not in the shield , but in the seal field. In 1573 the city seals with the SIGILLVM OPPIDI ERPACH, known as the city secret, which shows the same image in the shield, and a coat of arms from 1593 on the town hall shows this image. The seal of the CITY OF ERBACH, probably from the 17th century, then abandons the sloping bar in favor of a simple (horizontal) wavy bar, as could easily be read from the oldest seal if the seal was incorrectly held. In this form, the SEAL OF THE MAYOR OF ERBACH of the late 18th century also leads the wavy bar with stars, but again without a shield, freely in the seal field, as does the seal of the GR (OSSDUCOGLICH) HESS (ISCHEN) MAYOR OF ERBACH of the early 19th century .
Accordingly, it appears with Clemens Kissel , while Otto Hupp, in his opinion, brings "improved" colors, after it had already been pointed out in the new Siebmacher (IV. Section 5 ff.) That the river should be silver, not blue. However, this view only applies if the middle section of the coat of arms is not interpreted as a stream or river, as intended in the original blazon, and therefore as a " common figure " that does not require a color-metal contrast, but rather as a simple herald figure; however, it does not recognize a " wavy bar " as such.
It is a talking coat of arms , as its three stars come from the Graflich-Erbachischen coat of arms.

Culture and sights
Buildings
In the core city and the other districts there is a considerable number of cultural monuments that are well worth seeing .
Monument to Count Franz I in front of the castle
District Office of the Odenwaldkreis
Half-timbered houses on the Mümling
Castle of the Counts of Erbach-Erbach
The old castle of the Counts of Erbach was expanded into a palace in the 18th century. The collections of the castle of Count Franz I (1754–1823) housed there are significant, and their original presentation has been preserved to this day.
The German Ivory Museum, founded in 1966, has also been housed there since 2016 , which was previously located in a building with the town hall away from the historic city center.
The late Baroque orangery with the pleasure garden also belongs to the palace ensemble.
Evangelical Lutheran town church
The Protestant town church, which was completed in 1750 and has over a thousand seats, is mentioned in the Dehio as "the most important Protestant church in southern Hesse". What is striking is the rare transept layout of the interior, which is otherwise more likely to be found in Protestant-Reformed churches. The motif windows are foundations for community anniversary in 1897. From 1899 comes one of the few still preserved in its original state Sauer - organs .
Stadtel
To the north of the castle is the medieval core of Erbach. The Burgmanns' courtyards have been traceable here since the 14th century, parts of which have been preserved in the Städtel area to this day . Most important in terms of architectural history is the so-called temple house , seat of the Echter family (Städtel 15a / 21). The so-called Habermannsburg (Städtel 26), seat of the von Habern family , adjoins the outbuildings of the castle to the northwest. The Burgmannenhaus Pavey forms the north-western end of the castle settlement and leaned against the city fortifications. It has housed the Protestant kindergarten since 1953.
Chapel "In Need of God"
In the Brudergrund , a valley floor two kilometers west of the city, are the remains of the foundation wall of the Chapel Zur Not Gottes , a chapel that was built around 1200 with a surrounding cemetery that was in use until 1598.
Erdbach slip
A geological peculiarity is the complete seepage of the Erdbach within the district of Dorf-Erbach. The Erdbach re-emerges from Stockheim , a district of Michelstadt. There are several places where the stream drains away. Measurements with color additives showed that the water needed up to 23 hours to travel through the infiltration area. This suggests a pronounced system of dikes with lakes, which it has been possible to explore at around 400 meters so far. The Erdbach cave system, as one of the largest karst phenomena in the southern Hesse region, forms an impressive and rare geological natural monument . (→ Main article: Erdbach (Mümling) )
Regular events
Wiesenmarkt / Eulbacher Markt
The Erbacher Wiesenmarkt was called Eulbacher Markt or Eulbacher Wiesen (cattle) market until the 1960s because it was originally held in Eulbach (since 1972 part of Michelstadt ) as a regionally very important cattle, horse and farmer's market. As early as 1824, the market had been relocated to an open space on what was then the northern outskirts of Erbach.
The Schützenhaus is at the entrance to the Wiesenmarkt . This is where the democratic revolutionaries met in 1848, and in the same year the historic Odenwald People's Assembly took place in the neighboring market area, under the leadership of the Michelstädter revolutionary and lawyer Ludwig Bogen .
Until around 1960, the cattle and horse market with accompanying horse races and other equestrian sports was the main component of the Eulbacher Markt. The Erbacher Trabrennbahn was part of the market area.
Erbach Castle Christmas
The Erbacher Schlossweihnacht ( Christmas market ) takes place on the Advent weekends in November and December from Friday to Sunday . The market extends from the castle courtyard via the market square to the historic old town, the Städtel .
Erbach-Michelstädter theater summer
Annual open-air theater event with a large number of regional amateur actors, directed and organized by theater educator and director Alexander Kaffenberger. Alternating with the neighboring Michelstadt, the palace courtyard in Erbach becomes a theater stage every two years.
Economy and Infrastructure
Franz I, the last ruling count, introduced ivory carving in 1783 . Hence the city is nicknamed Ivory City . Many artists then settled. Her works and their work are thematized by the Ivory Museum, which opened in 1966 .
