Gehülz is a district of the district town of Kronach in the Upper Franconian district of Kronach in Bavaria . The place is about two kilometers west of the core city of Kronach. In 1978 the previously independent municipality was incorporated into the city. Until then, Gehülz was one of the largest communities in the Kronach district with 1500 inhabitants .

Place name

The place name probably originated from the word wood, which probably indicates a deforested forest.

The name Gehülz was a community name. It was introduced as an official place name in 1978 after the dissolution of the municipality by government decree. In return, eleven previous parish names, with the exception of seven on the outskirts of the former parish, were abolished as official place names and introduced as street names.

history

The first district and the beginning of the settlement was Entmannsdorf, which was founded around 1000 AD and was located on the connecting route between Kronach and Coburg. Entmannsdorf was first documented in 1323/28. It was owned by the Kappel zu Haßlach in 1348 , came into the possession of the von Redwitz zu Theisenort as an episcopal castle hat fief in the 14th century and became the capital of the Redwitzischen Gehülz. There was also a tower hill castle as a branch of the Theisenort rule.

From 1519 districts emerged as rural settlement areas such as Kestel , Judengraben and Brand . During the Thirty Years' War the community suffered from raids and pillage.

The beginnings of the later street village of Breitenloh-Unterentmannsdort were in the 1750s . In the Breitenloh area, small drip houses for the poorer population were built by order of the Redwitz rule .

During this time the land and bailiff's rights were divided between those of Redwitz zu Schmölz and those of Redwitz zu Küps. The lordship well, built around 1588, and the Zollbrunn, attested as "Saalbronnen" in 1673, became part of Gehülz's settlement around 1800.

The political community Gehülz was founded in 1818 according to the Bavarian municipal edict. It united many scattered localities that had previously formed an action and business association under the direction of their own mayor. Around 1836 the residents of the upper and middle areas called for a division of the community into two parts, probably because poor people lived in the lower area. The district court rejected this.

Gehülz was incorporated as a rural community into the newly created Bavarian district office of Kronach in 1862 . In 1871 it consisted of 15 places, the two villages of Breitenloh, Entmannsdorf, the six hamlets of Brand, Bürg, Judengraben, Kestel, Seelabach and Zollbrunn as well as the seven wastelands Brunnschrott, Ellmershaus, Geiersgraben, Giessübel, Judenhof, Lindleinsberg and Rauershof. At that time the community had 338 inhabitants. Brunnschrott, Geiersgraben and Judenhof were created by resettlement in the 19th century.

In 1950 the hamlet of Unterbreitenloh and the deserted basement house and Schafhof were listed as new locations. Lindleinsberg had burned down. On January 1, 1972, the hamlet of Rotschreuth was incorporated into the dissolved municipality of Burgstall. In 1871 the community of Gehülz consisted of 15 and when it was forcibly dissolved and incorporated into the district town of Kronach on May 1, 1978, it consisted of 18 towns and had around 1500 inhabitants.
