geography

The village of Fleinhausen in the western district of Augsburg in Reischenau lies on the western bank of the river Zusam . Fleinhausen is 2.5 km northwest of the main municipality and has around 360 inhabitants with the remote Elmischwangmühle . Elmischwang should not be confused with the hamlet of the same name in the Wollmetshofen district , which is only 12 kilometers away.

history

The history of the development of the center of the settlement in Fleinhausen goes back to the eighth century, and there was also a court founded in 1304 and a customs post. Fleinhausen was on the Augsburg-Ulm military and trade route, which in the Middle Ages went from Biburg via Rommelsried, Agawang and Lindach to Fleinhausen and from there via Grünenbaindt through the forest to Freihalden and on to Jettingen and Günzburg .

In the 12th century, the Augsburg cathedral monastery in Fleinhausen was wealthy. Pope Celestine II confirms this ownership in a document dated November 26th, 1143. In this document the name of the village is also mentioned for the first time, "Flinhusen", which means "house on alluvial land". Fleinhausen was later assigned to the Dinkelscherben nursing office of the cathedral monastery in Augsburg and thereby lost its central position.

Clubhouse

During the German Peasant War , 25 Fleinhausers stormed the monastery and church in Wettenhausen with the rebellious Reischenau farmers and the Jettingerhaufen on April 2, 1525 . The innkeeper and Waibel Melchior Kontzmaier from Fleinhausen was sentenced to death by the cathedral chapter on October 14, 1525, and executed at Zusameck Castle, although he was pardoned by the federal government. During the Thirty Years' War the place was plundered several times. There were bad harvests, famine, flooding and in 1628 the plague. In 1702/1703 and 1800, troops passing through plundered.

From 1862 to 1929 Fleinhausen belonged to the district office of Zusmarshausen and from 1929 to the district office of Augsburg , which from 1939 was called the district of Augsburg .

On February 12, 1885, the editor of the anti-Semitic propaganda paper Der Stürmer , the Nazi politician Julius Streicher , was born in Fleinhausen .

In 1901 the first aqueduct was built. A post office was set up in 1905. In the period that followed, clubs and cooperatives joined forces. The place has had electricity and light supplies since 1911.

On May 1, 1978, the previously independent community was incorporated into the Dinkelscherben market.

Until now the place has kept its rural character. Only a clubhouse, a sawmill, the Elmischwang mill, a travel agency, an electrical installation shop, a horse clinic with a riding arena and a car dealer are based here.

Fleinhausen has 30-strong volunteer fire brigades and a rifle club.

church

Church of Fleinhausen

The parish church of St. Nicholas stands, enclosed by the cemetery, in the middle of the village on an artificially created highlight. The current building dates from 1474 and, like the old saddle tower, still shows Gothic forms on the outside.

As a place of pilgrimage, it was visited from near and far until 1805. The service was held in honor of the “miraculous cross” by Fleinhausen. 454 answers to prayer are recorded from this time.

The parish church was restored in 1930, the rectory built in 1779 in 1941.
