Esbach is a district of the Upper Franconian municipality Dörfles-Esbach in the district of Coburg .
geography
Esbach is located about five kilometers northeast of Coburg on a clay ridge north of the Itztal . The place has communal roads to Coburg, Unterlauter and Unterwohlsbach .
history
Esbach was first mentioned in a document in 1149 as "Espe maius" (large aspen). In this, the Würzburg Bishop Siegfried von Truhendingen confirmed that the village had been handed over to the newly founded Mönchröden Monastery by Hermann Sterker , Burgrave of Meißen and his brother, Count Sterker.
The Esbach corridor covered 170 hectares and was a fiefdom of the Mönchröden monastery. The settlement image of a spacious hamlet with a block corridor consisting of four courtyards and a bailiwick developed . The Österreicherhof has been owned by the Morgenthum family since 1655. Esbach belonged to the parish Unterlauter and the center Lauter as well as to the office of Coburg. During the Thirty Years' War , imperial troops burned the place down in 1632 , which then lay desolate until the 1650s.
In 1866 there were five closed estates and eight houses that were inhabited by 60 residents.
The Poppengut with an area of 34.5 hectares was acquired by Baron Benno von Gillhaußen in 1869. An old brick factory belonged to the estate . Between 1872 and 1875 von Gillhaußen expanded the company into one of the first industrial companies in the Coburg region and in 1882 sold the brickworks to the Berghold company. In the following decades the brickworks expanded, operating as a public limited company from 1896 and going bankrupt in 1929. In 1930 the plant was auctioned and continued to operate as steam brickwork Esbach GmbH. In 1958 the plant had 167 employees. In 1986 production was discontinued. Von Gillhaußen sold the estate with the palace built in 1876 to the ducal chamberlain Freiherrn Wolff von Werthern in 1886 .
The Esbachers went to church and school in Unterlauter for many centuries. In 1899 a joint school was inaugurated in the neighboring Dörfles near Coburg . An Esbach soldier was killed in the First World War.
The US troops entered Esbach on April 10, 1945 at around 11 a.m. In 1954 the machine works Reichenbacher was founded. By 1958, in addition to the brickworks with 167 employees, seven other companies with ten or more employees had settled. The eight companies employed a total of 380 people.
In 1957 the community joined the association for the water supply of the Lautergrund communities. The ring water supply was inaugurated in 1965.
On July 30, 1970, the local council voted for the merger with Dörfles on January 1, 1971.
