Grönhart is a district of the town of Treuchtlingen in the central Franconian district of Weißenburg-Gunzenhausen with almost 50 inhabitants.

location

The well on the watershed

The hamlet is located about four kilometers north of Treuchtlingen in the middle of agricultural land on an alluvial sand height, from which the place name derives ("settlement on the sandy forest"). The district includes the former districts of Grönhart, the desert wet meadows , Neuheim and the hamlet of Hagenau . Larger localities in the vicinity are the city of Weißenburg in the north and Wettelsheim in the west.

The European watershed runs in the immediate vicinity of the village . In 1984 a fountain ▼ was set up, which discharges its water into two rivulets. One flows over the Altmühl to the Danube , the other over Rezat and Main into the Rhine .

history

It is assumed that Grönhart originated in the 11th or 12th century, the place was first mentioned in a document in 1251. The local knightly family probably died out in the 13th century. In the centuries that followed, the Wülzburg monastery , the Wiriche von Treuchtlingen and the marshals von Pappenheim were wealthy here.

Until July 1, 1971, Grönhart was an independent municipality. In the course of the municipal reform , it was incorporated into the city of Treuchtlingen together with its districts of Hagenau , Naßwiesen and Neuheim .

There are still full-time farms in the village , but also non-agricultural properties.
