Church in Feldheim

Feldheim is a parish village and part of the community Niederschönenfeld in the district of Donau-Ries in the administrative district of Swabia in Bavaria . The district also includes the hamlet of Wörthen and the Lech Bridge .

geography

Feldheim is located southwest of Niederschönenfeld in the eastern Lech-Danube angle. The Lech flows past Feldheim in a northerly direction to the west and flows into the Danube just behind Niederschönenfeld . Wörthen, which consists of seven Schwaighöfen, lies west of the Lech, 2 km north of Genderkingen and can only be reached from Feldheim via Genderkingen. However, it is possible to get to Wörthen on foot or by bike over the bridge of the Feldheim run- of -river power station . The Lech Bridge is located south of Feldheim at the junction of the B 16 over the Lech.

In terms of traffic, Feldheim is directly north of the west-east running federal highway 16 from Donauwörth to Neuburg an der Donau and has its own exit. In the east, the state road St 2047 runs from Marxheim to Rain in a north-south direction, which in this section belongs to the Romantic Road .

The neighboring towns of Feldheim are in the northeast the main town Niederschönenfeld , in the east the Rainer district Neuhof and in the south the town Rain. In the west across the Lech lies Genderkingen .

history

The origins of Feldheim are probably at least in the 9th century, which on the one hand the place name indicates -heim , on the other hand the belonging of the original parish of St. George to Monheim Monastery .

Feldheim was first mentioned in 1268 with Walter von Veltham , a subject of the Niederschönenfeld monastery listed in the monastery deed .

In the Middle Ages until 1342, the whole of Feldheim was under the rule of the County of Lechsgemünd-Graisbach , which, when founding their monastery in Niederschönenfeld, gave it all of the Feldheim possessions as furnishings. Originally there were still several landlords in Feldheim, such as Monheim Monastery with the important Mairhof . As a result, the Niederschönenfeld Monastery acquired one farm after another and from 1400 was the sole landlord in Feldheim. The monastery now claimed the Hofmarksrecht and the sole lower jurisdiction, which the Wittelsbacher , who had inherited the Counts of Graisbach, had not granted it for a long time.

It was not until 1552 that the Niederschönenfeld monastery was granted court rights in Feldheim on the condition that it would look after and guard the Lech Bridge. The Klosterhofmark remained until the monastery was dissolved in 1803.

Since the municipality formation in 1818, the seven Schwaighöfe, which are grouped under Wörthen and lie to the left of the Lech on the Swabian side, belong to the Feldheim district. The reason for this was a donation from Count Bertold von Graisbach to the Niederschönenfeld monastery in 1286, which encompassed the peninsula called Werd or Aue between the confluence of the Lech and Danube rivers. The residents of Wörthen are, however, more socially and ecclesiastically oriented towards the more closely located gender ring. In addition, the farms are not shown on many maps and cannot be reached directly from Feldheim itself, which repeatedly leads to difficulties with emergency services and mail delivery.

Feldheim with its districts was an independent municipality in the district of Neuburg an der Donau and was added to the district of Donau-Ries on July 1, 1972 as part of the regional reform in Bavaria , which was called the district of Nördlingen-Donauwörth until May 1, 1973 . On May 1, 1978 Feldheim was incorporated into the community of Niederschönenfeld.
