Hörblach is a district of the market Schwarzach am Main in the Lower Franconian district of Kitzingen in Bavaria. Hörblach was an independent municipality until it merged with five other places in the 1970s. The history of the village is closely linked to the neighboring Münsterschwarzach monastery , with Hörblach initially being a branch of the Gerlachshausen parish belonging to the monastery and later belonging to the Stadtschwarzach parish. The Prince-Bishop of Würzburg ruled from the 16th century.
Hörblach was rebuilt at its current location after the Thirty Years War and only got its own church at the beginning of the 20th century. With the characteristic Hörblach lake area , a ring of quarry ponds has been created around the planned, populated old town since the middle of the 20th century . The lakes are particularly popular with bathing tourists in summer. In addition, the federal highway 3 leads past Hörblach in the south of the district.
Geographical location
Geography and natural location
Hörblach is located in the extreme south of the Schwarzach municipality. Coming from the north, the Main flows past the village in the west. The northeast is occupied by Stadtschwarzach , which has now grown together with Münsterschwarzach and Gerlachshausen . The municipality of Kleinlangheim begins in the east , the district of Stephansberg in the district of Haidt is closest to Hörblach. Großlangheim borders the village in the extreme south-west of the district . In the south, the Kitzinger Klosterforst and the area of the city of Kitzingen itself reach close to Hörblach. To the west lies Dettelbach - Mainsondheim and the district of Dettelbach on the other side of the Main.
Closest, larger cities are Kitzingen, about 7 kilometers away, and Volkach , which is about 8 kilometers away. The next big city is Würzburg, about 21 kilometers away .
Hörblach and its district form the southern end of the Schwarzacher valley widening (also Schwarzacher basin). This natural area is part of the Middle Main Valley and is characterized by its flat sections directly adjoining the Main. Here three streams with originally almost the same bed flow into the Main at a distance of only about 250 m, pushing flat alluvial fans in front of them. In addition, the southern areas in particular have a share in the Albertshofener drift sand area , which is dominated by the large wooded areas of the Kitzingen monastery forest and is characterized by drift sand.
The district is located in the Maingau climate zone, which is one of the driest and warmest climate zones in Germany. This also explains viticulture, which today no longer plays an economic role for Hörblach. Geologically, Keuper rocks already predominate on the east side of the Main , which are actually particularly typical for the so-called Steigerwald foreland further east. In addition, drift sand areas with dune formation protrude into the area.
Hydrologically , Hörblach is dominated by the Main, which crosses the district in the west. In addition, the main tributary Wenzelbach, which rises in Düllstadt , which also belongs to Schwarzach , plays a certain role. Characteristic of the village, however, are the many lakes, some of which were created as quarry ponds in the 20th century for sand extraction, but some are of natural origin. The lakes are fed by a few unnamed streams. Two lakes (the Sphagnum and the Botanical Garden) have been protected as natural monuments since the 1940s. Another natural monument is a meadow in the north of the federal highway, on which rare sedge grows. Parts of the district are also designated as a bird sanctuary. → see also: Hörblacher Seengebiet
Village structure
The Hörblach district covers an area of 4.5 km². The built-up area is central to it. Hörblach itself was built in the 17th century as a planned street village at the current location, previously the place should be closer to the forest edge. The center of the elongated place is the small branch church . The only new development areas have arisen in the north and east of the old town. Hörblach does not have its own cemetery ; the deceased are buried in Stadtschwarzach.
The extensive demarcation is occupied by three different landscapes. Most of the quarry ponds can be found to the west of the old town, the areas of which are continually increasing. The largest of these lakes is now also used by tourists as a bathing lake . In the south, separated from the rest of the district by the federal motorway , the extensive forest areas around the Kitzinger Klosterforst begin. The forest departments Knock and Sandgrube are in the Hörblach district. Another forest area is located in the extreme southwest of the district, the so-called peasant wood.
history
Prehistory and early history
The Schwarzach Basin has a long history of settlement that goes back to the Palaeolithic . The oldest finds were made between Hörblach and Haidt. The stone blades excavated there refer to the early Stone Age. 4000 years ago, cord ceramists from the Neolithic period settled in the vicinity of Schwarzenau, Hörblach and the surrounding area has no finds from this period. During the construction of the federal road, legacies of the Urnfield period around Hörblach were discovered.
Particularly significant are the barrows around Hörblach, which were created in what is now called peasant wood by the Celtic population who lived at the time . During excavations, urns, arm rings and bronze needles were found that can be assigned to the Hallstatt period between 800 and 500 BC. The graves make a settlement in the neighborhood likely. It is possible that today's Hörblach goes back to the Celtic- Suebian mixed population who lived in this area at the time.
The Suebi united in the 3rd century AD and appeared for the first time under the name Alemanni. The Alemanni, who could also be responsible for the creation of Hörblach, soon disappeared. They made way for the Burgundians who settled between the Main and Schwarzach until the 4th century. These Germanic tribal associations also established the name Schwarzach for the flowing water in the center of the valley widening.
The Franks began to advance into the basin from the 6th century. They brought Christianity with them to the Main and established the first administrative borders, the so-called Gaue . The later Hörblach lay south of the Schwarzachbach and was thus part of the Iffgau. However, the place did not appear in the sources when the Münsterschwarzach monastery was founded in the 8th century and was also found in a document from 918 in which most of the places in the valley were first mentioned.
middle Ages
There is disagreement in the literature about the first mention of Hörblach. There are two years in research, but both date to the 12th century. Some publications prefer the older 1113, others vaguely refer to the time before 1135 or the year 1134. There is again agreement on the content of the document : Abbot Rupert von Kloster Münsterschwarzach acquired all his goods and rights in Gerlachshausen from Count Heinrich zu Castell, including also the right of patronage over the parish with its branch "Hurwilaha" belonged.
The certificate enables Hörblach to be assigned to the rulership of the Münsterschwarzach Abbey , which remained the landlord of the Hörblach population in the following centuries. However, she had to share this task with the Würzburg monastery , which rose in the 13th century at the expense of the Counts of Castell at the Maindreieck. In the peace treaty of January 18, 1230 , Count Rupert zu Castell renounced all of his rights to Stadtschwarzach, Gerlachshausen and thus also to the Hörblach branch.
In addition to the great lords of the area, other nobles were also wealthy in Hörblach. In 1250 the Münsterschwarzach monastery chief Rütger managed to acquire several hubs in the village from the noble Friedrich von Scheinfeld . In the 14th century the knights of Dettelbach were mentioned , who owned a farm in the village. In 1384 one mentioned Endres Truchseß from one of the knight families of the bishopric, who sold several pastures around Hörblach to the Würzburg bishop Gerhard von Schwarzburg . The Benedictine nuns of Kitzingen Abbey were also wealthy.
The villagers experienced a turning point in the first half of the 15th century. The noble Erkinger VI. von Seinsheim , who also called himself after his estate Schwarzenberg bei Scheinfeld, came into the possession of the village of Hörblach, probably through purchase. This acquisition subsequently led to several disputes with the Würzburg bishopric and the neighboring monastery. For this reason, the Hörblachers were temporarily banned from church .
Early modern age
The early modern era is associated with many armed conflicts in Hörblach as well. It began with the German Peasants' War , in which the agricultural population of Franconia rose against the authorities and their taxes in 1525. A group of farmers moved from Großlangheim through Hörblach and many residents joined them. The Hörblacher participated in the attack on Stephansberg Castle and also plundered the Münsterschwarzach monastery. The sources are silent about punishing the ringleaders.
In 1539 the village came under the control of the Margraves of Ansbach and thus remained outside the high estates' sphere of influence for the time being. However, other gentlemen also made claims on the village. It was not until 1551 that Würzburg was able to regain ownership of the village after it was sold by Sigmund von Schwarzenberg. However, in 1553 troops from Würzburg devastated Hörblach and set the place on fire in the Second Margrave War . As early as 1545 Hörblach was affected by billeting in the Schmalkaldic War .
From 1556 Hörblach was again part of the Würzburg monastery and the margraves waived their claims. Würzburg assigned Hörblach to the Dettelbach office . However, the prince-bishops of Würzburg pledged their village in the following period. In 1567 Wolf Radolf von Westerstetten came into the possession of the place. At the same time, Protestantism quickly spread in Hörblach in the middle of the 16th century . In 1572 the Schwarzach abbot Johannes Burckhardt intervened and brought learned Jesuits here to bring Catholicism back to the people.
The Counter-Reformation received its most obvious expression in the 1590 re-parish of Hörblach, which had previously been part of the Gerlachshausen parish, to the nearby Heiligkreuz church in Stadtschwarzach. This put a stop to the spread of Lutheranism and Hörblach remained Catholic. In 1622 the Anna Guthwill Foundation was mentioned for the first time, which financed a Carnival drink once a year for the women of the village.
In the same year, 1622, the Thirty Years' War began to affect the community, as more and more armies passed through the town. In 1628 muster began among the Hörblach population. In 1631 the Swedes moved into Main Franconia and occupied the official city of Dettelbach. They also plundered the neighboring villages, so that one year later it was said of Hörblach that it was "ruined to the ground". Hörblach lay desolate and the corridor was cultivated by the neighboring Stadtschwarzachers.
Although the war burdens decreased in the years to come, they initially decided not to repopulate the place. In 1637, the field jury was chosen from among the scattered residents, most of whom had found refuge in Stadtschwarzach. In the 1640s, the planned reconstruction began, which was promoted by Abbot Remigius Winckel , whereby the new Hörblach was now moved much closer to the river Main. A street village was created with courtyards of the same size, and a total of 31 hearths and farmsteads were built.
After the Thirty Years War, however, the burdens for the residents of the new Hörblach did not end. In 1675 Brandenburg soldiers of Elector Friedrich Wilhelm of Prussia marched through the village in the Northern War and pressed a tribute from the residents. The location near Mainfurt Schwarzenau made Hörblach relevant again and again for such billeting and passage. In 1676 parts of a dragoon regiment were housed in the village.
Only in the 18th century was it possible to establish a school in the village, which was housed in the old town hall. However, billeting continued. In 1758 and 1762 Prussian hussars stayed in Hörblach and drove the cattle of the population into the forests, in 1792 Austrian troops took up quarters. In 1794 and 1796, Saxon, French and Austrian soldiers took turns. The cattle died of rinderpest brought by the soldiers . From 1800 Hörblach was ravaged by soldiers' corps every year.
Modern times: In Bavaria
After Napoleon Bonaparte had added the areas on the left bank of the Rhine that belonged to Bavaria to his new empire in 1802, he had to compensate the allies of Bavaria somehow. He succeeded in doing this by secularizing the spiritual territories that had existed since the Middle Ages in 1803 and integrating them into Electoral Palatinate Bavaria. Hörblach, part of the old Würzburg monastery, became a Bavarian municipality. The neighboring Münsterschwarzach lost its abbey. After a short period in the Grand Duchy of Würzburg , they finally became Bavarian in 1814.
Frequent drafts continued to burden the community. After the Battle of the Nations near Leipzig , Hörblach was crossed by Bavarian, Württemberg and Saxon troops. The foreign soldiers increased the debt, so that at the end of the Napoleonic Wars there were many poor people living in Hörblach. A bad harvest in 1816 exacerbated the situation. After fires had ravaged the village again and again in previous years, a volunteer fire brigade was founded in 1878.
At the beginning of the 20th century, the Hörblach community had grown so much that people in Stadtschwarzach were considering building a branch church. In 1901 the foundation stone for the church was laid, in 1907 the first service could be celebrated in the Vitus Church. In 1921 Hörblach received electricity. With the improvement of the equipment, people soon began to cultivate the previously unused Main meadows west of the village. They were particularly affected by the annual floods , which also represented a recurring danger for the villagers.
In the First World War, seven Hörblacher died on the battlefields in Europe. In the 1930s, the National Socialists forced the cultivation of flax in order to become less dependent on foreign products. A total of twelve people died in World War II . Hörblach was occupied by the Americans in 1945 without a fight. In 1946 an American ammunition vehicle exploded and several properties in the village were damaged.
In 1956 the old well water supply was abolished and long-distance water was obtained . In 1965 dissolved the einklassige primary school in Hörblach on and joined the School Association at Schwarzacher pool. At the same time, the sewage treatment plant located near Stadtschwarzach was inaugurated. In 1971 the municipalities of Stadtschwarzach, Schwarzenau and Hörblach merged to form one large municipality, and in 1973 Düllstadt, Gerlachshausen and Münsterschwarzach also joined.
Place name
The place name Hörblach probably already refers to the Alemannic settlement era and is therefore, next to the name of the Schwarzach stream itself, the oldest etymological evidence of human settlement in the Schwarzach basin. The prefix Hörbl- was derived from the Alemannic word horo, which means something like swamp or dung. The ending ach, from the Germanic -aha, stands for the word water. After that, a marshy brook would have tended towards the Main here, which may indicate the Wenzelbach.
The names for the village changed constantly in the Middle Ages and early modern times. One spoke of "Hurwilaha", "Hyerblach", "Horblich", "Haerblach" and "Hürlbach". The most common form of name appears to be "Hürblach". The talk of “Bawlach” or “Baulach” was less common. The current name appeared relatively late in the sources with a document dated August 18, 1791.

politics
From mayor to local spokesman
Little is known from Hörblach about the inner village order of the past. The place was probably organized like comparable communities in the surrounding area. The population chose a village master or chief from among their ranks, who, however, had no authority over the authorities , but merely acted as a contact person. Opposite him stood the much more powerful mayor who was appointed by the landlord.
With the transition to Bavaria at the beginning of the 19th century, Hörblach received an elected local board. The designation of the chairman of these representatives initially changed, from the middle of the 19th century the designation of mayor was established for the smaller villages as well. In Hörblach, members of the Falkenstein family most often took over the office of mayor . As early as the 18th century, representatives of her family appeared as mayors.

The first names of the mayors from the first half of the 20th century can no longer be identified. It is particularly noteworthy that the mayor Johann Erk, appointed by the National Socialists in 1944, remained in office under the American occupiers. After the centuries-old independence was lost in the 1970s, the formerly independent towns in the Schwarzach Basin received a local spokesman who was supposed to take care of their representation in the new municipal council.
Population development
The residents of Hörblach were first recorded by chance in the 16th century during the so-called homage to the landlord . At that time, all male heads of the family swore the oath on the Bishop of Würzburg. By extrapolations, around 100 people could be made out in the village. Even after the village was rebuilt after the Thirty Years War, the number fluctuated around 100 people. Unlike in the surrounding villages, the custom of real division was not practiced in Hörblach , so that the population did not increase.
In the first half of the 18th century, Hörblach was inhabited by over 150 people. It was not until the beginning of the 19th century that the 200- inhabitant mark was exceeded . As no new houses were built outside of the town center, only 230 people lived in Hörblach in 1931. The refugees and displaced persons after the Second World War then let the village grow to over 300 people. Such a brief increase in population was achieved again in the 1960s with the construction of the motorway. Today around 300 people live in Hörblach.

Culture and sights
Architectural monuments
St. Vitus
The church is a new building from the beginning of the 20th century. Previously, the old town hall of Hörblach stood at this point , with a half-timbered upper floor and a small roof turret that also housed the community's school. In 1901 the population had grown so much that they thought about having their own branch church. The town hall was demolished that same year. However, it was not until 1907 that the first service could be celebrated.
Initially the church was planned in the neo-Gothic style , but the lack of space at the site of the old town hall led to the construction of a neo-baroque church in the course of the planning . It is equipped with a four-sided roof turret and has a tail gable on the façade . The portal and the two round windows are richly profiled. Outside there is a memorial stone that commemorates those who died in the community.
Most of the furnishings came to the church shortly after the construction period. The altar by Franz Wilhelm Driesler from 1905 is in the style of the Nazarenes and shows the holy family with the Johannesknaben . Several figures inside the church come from the workshop of the Stadtschwarzach artist Hans Dresch and came into the building in 1959. The Vitus bell from 1732 is particularly old. It was probably already hung in the roof turret of the town hall.
Wayside shrines and small memorials
Especially typical of Hörblach are shrines , as milestones and as a sign of popular piety found anywhere in the floor installation. However, the existence of the monuments is threatened by destruction. In 1984 there were still five tortures in Hörblach, today three have survived. The oldest stick is the so-called Vitus picture stick, which is closely connected to the local patron of the village. It was set up in front of the church and was donated in 1618 with a relief of St. Vitus in a saucepan. → see also: Vitus shrine (Hörblach)
The so-called Trinity Smarter in the hallway part "On Schlossweg", near the major long-Straße contrast, is much younger. It was created in 1766, as evidenced by an inscription that has now been removed. The front of the narrow attachment shows the Most Holy Trinity , on the back the Annunciation is depicted. The saints of the dragon slayer Georg (left) and Paul or Michael (right) were attached to the sides, possibly as donor figures .
On the other hand, a torture dates from the 19th century, which was set up near Fuchsgasse. Initially, the wayside shrine was to be found in the south of the village; when the motorway was built, the work of art was moved to the village. The panel is dominated by a Pietà , underneath the inscription “Please for us”. Another inscription occupies the back. It reads: “Erected in 1849 in honor of the painful Mother of God. Renewed by benefactors and the Hörblach community in 1956. Dresch ”.
Two other wayside shrines can no longer be found in Hörblach today. In 1984 the base of the one torture still existed , on which an inscription could be found that referred to the foundation in 1760. The other wayside shrine stood on the road to Stadtschwarzach and was erected in 1981 in front of the Heiligkreuzkirche in Stadtschwarzach. The wayside shrine was called "Schneblichen Marter" by the people of Hörblach and is characterized by its niches , which are now closed with metal panels.
The small field chapel on Großlangheimer Straße was built in 1939 by the Gerlach company and represents a replacement for the chapel originally located in Hauptstraße, which was demolished in 1938. The old chapel was a simple gable roof building from the 18th century. Today the field chapel is tiled and inside it contains a copy of the Pietà from Großlangheim, which is attributed to Tilman Riemenschneider's workshop. Originally a figure of Jesus was placed on the scourge column, but it is said to have been burned in 1945. Today the chapel is erroneously dated to 1760 by the Bavarian State Office for Monument Preservation.

Thunderous Good
The oldest, documented farm in Hörblach is the so-called Donnersgut (also Spitalhof) with the old house number 34 (today Kitzinger Straße 6). It appeared in the sources as early as 1361 as the estate of the Knights of Dettelbach. The knights pledged the estate in the course of the 16th century, so that another noble owner named Donners came into possession. However, Donners was arrested for committed adultery and his property was confiscated from the prince-bishop's caste office in Kitzingen.
During the Thirty Years War the estate fell into disrepair and the fields were no longer cultivated. The Donnersgut was rebuilt under Prince Bishop Johann Philipp von Schönborn . He donated the farm on November 22, 1643 to his Cammer secretary Peter Sauer. The estate was described in the deed as free of fief . After Peter Sauer, his son, who was mayor of Kitzingen, inherited the Donnersgut. Subsequently, Johannes Valentin Gehrig, mayor from Sommerach, took charge of the estate as guardian of Hans Adam Sauer and his siblings.
Gehrig sold the Donnersgut in 1729 to the Juliusspital Würzburg . It was then that the first description of the estate appeared. It consisted of a single-storey stone house to which barns and stables were attached. In the period that followed, disputes arose between the Juliusspital and the prince-bishop's office in Dettelbach, because 1,733 soldiers were quartered in the (unencumbered) farm. At that time the owner ( lessee ) Johann Blass was sitting on the estate. In 1735 the dispute was settled.
On November 7, 1785, work began on breaking up and dividing the court in July. In 1789, however, Johann Link had bought up all parts of the farm. He was followed by Georg Otto, who handed the farm over to his son Michael Otto in 1849. Because of over-indebtedness, the farm had to be sold to Lippmann Weikersheimer from Großlangheim . In 1889 the farm was in the hands of Georg Fröhling. His brother Alois Fröhling took it over from him in 1918, and in 1984 Willibald Fröhling owned the estate.
Vitus worship
The veneration of St. Vitus (or Veit) in Hörblach is much older than the Vitus Church, built at the beginning of the 20th century, suggests. The patron saint was carried through the village and the hallway in the form of a figure from the mother church Stadtschwarzach , especially during the annual processions . The statue was donated by the Hörblach people to the church in Stadtschwarzach and always remained in the hands of the Hörblach population during these processions.
There are also several stories about St. Vitus, for example the bearers of his figure are said to have forgotten the saint in a field. In the 1950s, the Hörblacher tried to transfer the Vitus figure to their own church. However, they had to bring the object back a short time later because the priest of the city of Schwarzach noticed it was missing. Today, next to the church, the Vitus shrine reminds of the special veneration of the saint in Hörblach.
Anna Guthwill Foundation
The so-called Anna Guthwill Foundation in Hörblach is of cultural and historical importance. It was created between 1616 and 1622 and goes back to the land foundation of an unknown Hörblach farmer, who was later given the name Anna Guthwill. She left a field in the Wiesackher corridor for the village, which was divided into individual plots for the residents. The residents paid a lease that benefited the foundation.
The purpose of the foundation was a so-called women's festival. Every Shrove Tuesday, the residents of Hörblach met without their husbands and attended a mass in honor of the deceased donor. Then the women moved to the town hall and were allowed to drink beer there at the expense of the foundation. The authorities tried for a long time to ban the practice, but always failed. The custom became less important in the 20th century.
Regular events
Several regular events shape the course of the year in Hörblach today. In particular, the Catholic Church and its cultural influence shaped the customs . At the beginning of the year the school children go from house to house and wish the villagers all the best in the new year. The origin of these " New Year wishes " is not known. Ratcheting during Holy Week has a similar character. The loud rattles of the children ringing every door replace the silent church bells during Holy Week.
For a long time, the so-called Mettenwache was set up in Hörblach, which guarded the village hall on Christmas Eve . A police officer went through the village every hour on the hour from 9 p.m. with the "Mettenpfeife". A special custom was observed before the construction of the morgue in the Stadtschwarzach cemetery. The people of Hörblach had to show up at the funeral of one of their neighbors, the children even got school free and were allowed to take bread rolls with them in return. The day of a funeral was therefore popularly known as “Semmelestoch” ( Semmelestoch ).
Economy and Infrastructure
economy
Economically today, Düllstadt has largely merged into the structures of the community of Schwarzach am Main. Similar to the neighboring towns, people commute to the large industrial companies in Kitzingen or Würzburg. For centuries, however, viticulture was the predominant form of economy in Hörblach. The decline of the viticulture culture already took place in the 18th century. With the appearance of phylloxera and the economic crisis at the beginning of the 19th century, it came to a complete standstill.
As in the communities of the neighboring Mainschleife, attempts were initially made to react to the changed conditions by growing fruit trees. The sandy soils of the Hörblach district were particularly suitable for growing plums . In addition, a small flax breaker house was built in 1868, referring to flax cultivation . However, flax never became an export product, it was only produced for the village itself. The flax produced in Hörblach was only delivered during the Second World War.
Today, sand mining plays a major role in the Hörblach district, which has also greatly changed the image of the district in recent years. The quarry ponds were created by the Kitzingen-based company Lenz-Ziegler-Reifenscheid, which continues to excavate some of them today. The already renatured lakes are subject to various uses. The largest of the lakes was converted into a quarry pond. In the long term, the Hörblach lakes also have tourist potential.
traffic
Today Hörblach can be regarded as well connected due to its proximity to the traffic junction Stadtschwarzach. Already in the early modern period and at the transition to the 19th century, the small settlement benefited from its proximity to the Schwarzenau ferry station , which mediated between Würzburg and the Steigerwald . However, this geographical location also brought problems because Hörblach was often misused as military quarters and transit station. In May 1807, 424 French soldiers were housed. Before the land consolidation, the district of Hörblach came directly to the ferry station and the later Ludwigs Bridge near Schwarzenau.
In the extreme south of the district you can find the motorway exit 74 Kitzingen / Schwarzach on the federal motorway 3 ( Europastraße 45 ). It was created between 1960 and 1964 and connects the BENELUX countries with the southern Bavarian region. Federal road 22 branches off from here, coming from the south, which will be passed as a bypass road west of the village in the course of the motorway construction and then turns towards the east (Steigerwald / Bamberg ). The important intersection of the federal road with the state roads 2271 and 2450 is already on the Stadtschwarzacher district.
With the district road KT 12, a locally important connection runs across the Hörblach main road through the village. It is about Großlangheimer Straße, which connects the municipality of the same name with Hörblach. The only other street named is Kitzinger Straße, which forms the backbone of the street village. Today the Main is no longer of any importance for Hörblach. The next ports are in Volkach (Mainland) and in Kitzingen ( Kitzingen ports ). Hörblach is approached by an OVF bus line. This is line 8110 (Kitzingen-Dettelbach / Schwarzach-Volkach).

Since 1965, the children are in the Verbandsschule taught Schwarzacher Basin, one of the first national schools in Lower Franconia was and was built near Stadtschwarzach. As early as the Middle Ages and the early modern period, the children from Hörblach attended the school attached to the parish church in the city of Schwarzach. Only in 1788 did the village receive its own school.
Probably in 1874 the administration even granted Hörblach its own school house , before lessons were held at least temporarily in the town hall. In 1902 the school teachers' hall was expanded. The teacher's apartment was located on the upper floor. Under the main teacher Adalbert Zahn, who took up his position on June 1, 1884, Hörblach was expanded into a multi-class village school. In the 20th century, however, teaching was limited to a single class.
Hörblach is now in the district of the Dettelbach-Volkach secondary school network and is assigned to the Rudolf-von-Scherenberg Middle School in Dettelbach. Secondary schools can be attended with the girls' secondary school in Volkach and the secondary school in Dettelbach. There are high schools in Münsterschwarzach ( Egbert-Gymnasium ), Volkach- Gaibach ( Franken-Landschulheim Schloss Gaibach ), Wiesentheid ( Steigerwald-Landschulheim ) and Kitzingen ( Armin-Knab-Gymnasium ).
Associations and associations
Today, due to the small size of the place, there are only two clubs in Hörblach. The oldest is the fire brigade association, which was founded in 1878 as a volunteer fire brigade . At first it consisted of eight men and grew in the following years. In 1930 a fire pond was built for the fire brigade. During the National Socialist dictatorship, the fire brigade was converted into part of the police. As early as 1947, the Hörblach fire brigade received an engine injection. Today the fire brigade owns a portable pump vehicle (TSF). Acting commander is Michael Ort.
The Hörblach Boys' Association is much younger . It was launched on March 1, 1914, based on the Catholic rural youth movement. As early as 1923, the association received its own flag , which was retained despite the association's dissolution during the Nazi dictatorship. In contrast, a football club in Hörblach, which was founded in 1920, was more short-lived. At that time there was also a playing field between Stadtschwarzach and Hörblach.
