Hagershof is a district of the Schwanstetten market in the Roth district of Central Franconia .

location

The desert is about 18 kilometers south of Nuremberg , two kilometers west of the Schwand district and one kilometer east of Rednitzhembach , directly on the Main-Danube Canal and is largely surrounded by forest. The Hembach flows south past the place. One and a half kilometers south of the village is the Leerstetten lock , one of the three highest locks in Europe.

history

The exact date of origin is unknown, but it can be assumed with a high degree of certainty as early as the 12th century. The name Hager appears in writing for the first time in 1413, when the Haimpfarich castle stable (already ruinous) was sold to a certain Hager by Cunrath Groß , Abbot of Mönchaurach and the widow of Eberhard Groß . However, the sandy soils there are not very productive and the castle was not rebuilt either. Instead, people probably continued to settle in the fertile valley of the Hembach. Hagershof was first mentioned in a document as a place in 1623. The original two farms belonged to the parish of Schwand. Two farms are also known from 1652 and four from 1783. The fate of the following generations is completely in the dark. In principle, the earlier building arrangement was retained, but no architectural or ground monuments are qualified in situ . However, the place of settlement never seems to have been completely abandoned; from the First World War a fatality from Hagershof is named.

In the course of the regional reform , the municipality of Leerstetten , to which Hagershof belonged, was incorporated into Schwanstetten on May 1, 1978 .

Together with the wastes of Holzgut , Unter- and Oberfichtenmühle , Hagershof forms an exclave between the Main-Danube Canal, which was flooded in 1985, and Bundesstraße 2.

The original four farmsteads now form a predominantly connected large farm with cattle and field farming. An office service is also operated on site. Several solar-electric systems with a total output of almost 20 kW are installed on the roofs of Hagershof. In the area of the agricultural areas managed by Hagershof, the water quality of the Hembach improves from critically polluted to only moderately polluted .

Municipal roads connect the town with Rednitzhembach, Mittelhembach , Holzgut, Ober- and Unterfichtenmühle as well as the motorway-like federal highway 2 . Local public transport ( ÖPNV ) does not serve Hagershof.
