history

middle Ages

In the 11th century "Vaeulenpach" belonged to the county of Hörzhausen , which was under the rule of the Counts of Sempt and Ebersberg . When they founded the Geisenfeld Monastery in 1037 , they donated not only the file forest, but also some farms “Vaeulenpach cum nemore” as initial equipment. Also in 1037 a Walperich von Fahlenbach brought a relic of St. Castulus to St. Kastl not far from Fahlenbach. Sankt Kastulus was the house saint of the Counts of Moosburg , so that the Lords of Fahlenbach in the early High Middle Ages were apparently associated with two powerful families in Bavaria.

Since Fahlenbach as well as the file forest belonged to the initial equipment of the diocese of Bamberg , more can be inferred about its prehistory: Bamberg was primarily equipped with former royal estate , which also suggests the name "forest" for the file forest - in contrast to the "forest" What was to be equated with "jungle" in the Middle Ages, was used by the king for hunting. It was also a forest reserved for clearing .

The parish church, consecrated to St. Martin, emerged from the former castle chapel, a Romanesque complex.

The von Fahlenbach nobles remained closely associated with the Geisenfeld monastery until the 14th century. Fahlenbach was its own Hofmark , which was combined with the Hofmark at Buchersried Castle after the local aristocracy died out.

Modern times

In 1818, the rural community of Fahlenbach was founded with the Bavarian community edict, which also included the towns of Buchersried and Fürholzen. 42 German soldiers, all aged 16, died in an air raid on railway wagons near Fahlenbach at the end of World War II . In 1955, SV Fahlenbach was launched as a football club.

On January 1, 1978, the community of Fahlenbach was incorporated into Rohrbach.

Fahlenbach fire department

On April 20, 1873, the Fahlenbach Volunteer Fire Brigade was founded, according to the chronicle of “small-scale houses” and “poor people” who were based in Fahlenbach. In 1930 a motorized sprayer of the “Flader” type was purchased, which is still in the possession of the Fahlenbach fire department. In 1962, the fire brigade was equipped with a portable pump trailer (TSA) with a load and a Ziegler portable pump (TS 8/8). To mark the 100th anniversary of the fire brigade, a new fire station was inaugurated on June 1, 1975 on the site of the previous parish hall. The TS 8/8 was replaced by a vehicle and the fire brigade was equipped with it in keeping with the times. In 1997, a registered fire brigade association was launched at the annual general meeting. In 2000, a new community house was inaugurated as the center of the village with an integrated fire department, on which the fire fighters had voluntarily helped to build. In spring 2006 the fire brigade received a new TSF-W with a total weight of 7.5 t.
