Fuchsmühle in the Rohrachtal

Fuchsmühle is a district of the Heidenheim market in the Weissenburg-Gunzenhausen district in Central Franconia ( Bavaria ).

Geographical location

The wasteland lies in the Franconian Alb on the state road 2118 between Rohrach in the north and the Treuchtlinger district Windischhausen in the south in the valley of the Eastern Rohrach . There is another place within the Weißenburg-Gunzenhausen district with the same name: Fuchsmühle , part of the neighboring municipality of Treuchtlingen.

history

The Fuchsmühle and the neighboring Rohrach have belonged to Degersheim since time immemorial . On the Schloßberg, a steep rock ledge 300 meters north of the Fuchsmühle, a section fortification and a castle stable are mentioned, where the local nobility of Rohrach probably had their castle. In the Thirty Years' War the fox Müller Caspar Lüdel was killed on 25 May 1632 by Imperial troops in his mill "and buried without singing and preaching." The Fuchsmühle belonged with Rohrach and Degersheim high court until the secularization of Ansbach Oberamt Hohentrüdingen and royalty terms for stewardship Heidenheim.

In 1828 a family of ten lived in Fuchsmühle, which had belonged to Bavaria since 1806. In the district court of Heidenheim Degersheim formed a tax district with Rohrach and Fuchsmühle , from which the rural community Degersheim grew in 1810. In 1846 there were 1 house, 1 family and 6 “souls”.

The community Degersheim was incorporated into Heidenheim on July 1, 1972 and thus came to the enlarged new district of Weißenburg in Bavaria, which on May 1, 1973 was named the district of Weißenburg-Gunzenhausen . Today the Fuchsmühle is the location of a wood processing company.
