 The Blaufelden district of Gammesfeld
|
|
Gammesfeld is a district of the Baden-Württemberg community of Blaufelden , located on the high plateau of the Hohenlohe plain .
For a long time, Gammesfeld was an independent municipality to which the villages of Ehringshausen , Heufel winds and Metzholz belong. As part of the Baden-Württemberg municipal reform , the community of Gammesfeld was incorporated into Blaufelden on January 1, 1973. With the above-mentioned residential spaces, Gammesfeld has around 500 residents.
The place gained national fame through the documentary film Schotter wie Heu , in which Raiffeisenbank Gammesfeld, one of the smallest banks in Germany, was portrayed.
The coat of arms of Gammesfeld goes back to the Metzholzer local nobility and shows a silver shovel / ploughshare. It stands for agriculture, which is still the main source of income in Gammesfeld today.
The moated castle in the north of Gammesfeld passed from the local nobility to the Lords of Bebenburg around 1100 and later became the official residence of the Rothenburg bailiffs.
Another attraction are the barrows in the farmer's forest near Ehringshausen.
