geography

Gerlachsheim is located in its lowest valley on the left bank of the Grünbach just before it flows into the Tauber . Beyond the Grünbach rises the Herrenberg , on whose south and south-west exposed steep slopes lie vineyards.

history

Gerlachsheim first appeared in the fourth century. Between 1952 and 1954 four graves with rich grave goods were found there , which suggest that an Alemannic aristocratic family had their seat here. In 1197 a nunnery was built. The name of the place at that time was Lützelluden (Kleinlauda), later it was called Kleingerlachsheim. After the monastery was devastated and looted in 1525 and many nuns joined a new apprenticeship, only two nuns lived in the Gerlachsheim monastery. This was then dissolved by Bishop Friedrich von Würzburg in 1552 and the area fell to the court chamber. However, after a lengthy process, it had to be returned to the abbot of the Oberzell monastery. In the 18th century, the Gerlachsheim monastery was combined with the Oberzell monastery as a priory. A new church was built between 1723 and 1730. After the occupation in 1802, Gerlachsheim served as the residence for the Prince of Salm-Reifferscheid-Bedburg before he sold the monastery to Baden in 1838 . The Gerlachsheim monastery served as a district office building until 1875. It was then used as an institution for the deaf and dumb, which was gradually dissolved from 1935 onwards. During the Second World War, the monastery complex housed the Slovenes who had been forcibly resettled; after the end of the war it served as a central transit camp for displaced persons . The Main-Tauber-Kreis has been using the former convent building as a retirement and nursing home since 1952.

In 1774 Gerlachsheim was added to the city of Lauda with Heckfeld and Beckstein . Thanks to the Gerlachsheim district office, Gerlachsheim was an administrative district in Baden from 1813 to 1864 , comparable to today's district.

On January 1, 1974 Gerlachsheim was incorporated into the city of Lauda and came with this on January 1, 1975 to Lauda-Königshofen.
