geography
Gailenkirchen is about five kilometers northwest of the city center of Schwäbisch Hall in the center of a small erosion bay at the foot of the Waldenburg mountains . The Schmiedbach created it, some of its spring branches flow through the village, including the Mühlbach , whose course deepens into a valley in the center of the village and then merges with the other branches to the east of the settlement boundary to continue to the east at Untermünkheim - Obermünkheim from the left in to open the stove . Away from the valley gullies, the surroundings of the village are flat to hilly and are covered by meadows and - more rarely - fields, in the west, however, the terrain soon rises steeply to the plateau of the Waldenburg mountains, the slopes are mostly forested from halfway up.
The village is crossed by the old route of the district road K 2576 from Schwäbisch Hall in the south to the B 19 near Untermünkheim-bereigshausen in the north-east, at some distance east of the village with the same name the new route runs as a west bypass of Hall on bridges over the valley cuts. A loop of the Crailsheim – Heilbronn railway line is around the west of the village, the former train station of which has now been removed.
Residents
In 2012 Gailenkirchen had 2,247 inhabitants. The district is divided into the districts of Gailenkirchen center, Wackershofen, Sülz, Gottwollshausen , Schleifbach and Riegeläcker.
history
Gailenkirchen - first mentioned in 1266 as Geilenkirche and derived from a personal name - used to be a parish village, which formerly belonged to Limpurg , later to Schwäbisch Hall. There was a local nobility from which some noble families from Schwäbisch Hall descended, such as the Feldner, Stetten mit dem Fisch, Geier and Kleinconz. The local coat of arms showed a fish on a blue slash, the background is a red field - the coat of arms of the "Stetten with the fish". The parish church on the left shoulder of the Mühlbach valley is Protestant; the tower is from the previous Romanesque building and has Gothic elements.
As part of the community reform, the community was incorporated into the city of Schwäbisch Hall on January 1, 1972 and established as a locality .
