Erlach is a hamlet in the Gelbingen district of Schwäbisch Haller in northeastern Baden-Württemberg .
geography
Erlach is about three and a half kilometers north of the town center of Schwäbisch Hall and a little more than one kilometer north of the village center of Gelbingen at about 390 m above sea level. NN right above the valley of the Kocher, cut more than 130 meters deep, on the Haller level . The houses of the small village, which has remained agricultural, with fewer than two dozen house numbers, are surrounded by a soft picture of orchards and meadows; on the north side, the closed townscape has recently been broken up by two large stables and their ancillary buildings. All around are fields. The terrain slopes gently to the west, then very steeply to the incision of the Kochertal valley, on the western edge of the village a ditch that dries up in summer begins in a small meadow hollow. There is no traffic connection to this side, nor to the north, because in this direction Erlach is not far from the upper edge of the slope of the Kochertal after its east bend near Untermünkheim . A one kilometer long road leads to the neighboring villages of Eltershofen in the east and Breitenstein in the south.
The location of the spur of the place on the poorly forested plain gives the place plenty of sun and wind and allows a wide view over the valley, especially to the southern Waldenburg mountains .
Erlach is approached ten times on weekdays and three times on Saturdays by bus line 6 of the Schwäbisch Hall roundabout , traffic stops completely on Sundays.
history
The oldest recorded mention of the place comes from the year 1248; the term Erlach means alder wood . The rights to the place passed from the hands of Sturmfeder to Limpurg in 1370 . Hall also owned Erlach towards the end of the 14th century and bought the place up completely in the 16th century. In addition to Limpurg, the Comburg monastery and the von Stetten family were involved in these transactions. The Erlach parish became the mother parish of Gelbingen, Eltershofen and Untermünkheim . Erlach became Protestant during the Reformation .
