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

location

The village of Harm is located west of the Schwanstetten district of Leerstetten , about 15 kilometers south of Nuremberg and is largely surrounded by forest areas. The Hirtengraben flows through the town and joins the Entenbach to the west, which after about one kilometer crosses under the Main-Danube Canal in a culvert and flows into the Rednitz after another 500 meters .

history

Harm was first mentioned in a document in 1345. The exact time when the clearing settlement was built is unknown, but it can be assumed to coincide with the development of the neighboring towns in the late 11th century. The original five courtyards all belonged to Nuremberg in 1504. In 1530 it was partially sold to the Margraves of Ansbach . Seven farms are known from 1623, but they were pillaged in 1632 during the Thirty Years' War . Austrian exiles (religious refugees) settled in the village around 1660 and rebuilt it. Eight houses and 40 inhabitants have survived in 1783. In 1792 the place came briefly under Prussian rule and then in 1808 to Bavaria . The early industrialization and the two world wars experienced local history only through the associated side effects and is still predominantly rural today. In the course of the territorial reform , the municipality of Leerstetten , to which Harm belonged, became part of the newly formed municipality of Schwanstetten on May 1, 1978 .

today

The formerly existing historical building fabric is no longer preserved in Harm, no architectural monuments are qualified. Today's buildings are entirely modern. A small horse farm with two stud farms, a coach shop and its own café, a chicken farm for egg production, a carpentry shop, an inn and other diverse agriculture and forestry are operated on site. Worth mentioning is the fishing club, which operates intensive trout and carp farming around Harm in a dozen artificially created ponds on a total area of over 2.7 hectares.

Due to its relatively secluded scenic location in the middle of forests and diverse bodies of water and at the same time being close to the Nuremberg metropolitan area, the area is attractive for local recreation .

traffic

A municipal road leads north to the RH 2 district road and south-east towards Schwand near Nuremberg to the RH 1 district road . Agricultural and forestry gravel paths also connect Harm directly to Leerstetten and Mittelhembach . Local public transport does not run to Harm, but there is a stop on demand at the turnoff from RH 2 to Harm , which is just under a kilometer away , and is served by the VGN and a private coach company. A bus line leads to Schwabach and Leerstetten, and a regular taxi service is also available from time to time.
