history

The nucleus for the emergence of the small village was Hauseck Castle, first mentioned in 1338 . By 1500 at the latest, the council of the Imperial City of Nuremberg succeeded in obtaining the rights to use the fortification. A few years later the castle was captured by troops from the Electoral Palatinate during the Landshut War of Succession , but the Nuremberg armed forces succeeded in recapturing them as the war progressed. In 1507 the castle could be bought by the imperial city, which a few years later formed the Hauseck nursing office . This consisted only of the small town of Hauseck and the castle, as well as the surrounding corridor areas. The caretaker appointed by the imperial city to administer the area resided at Hauseck Castle, which was captured and destroyed on May 24, 1552 by the troops of the Brandenburg-Kulmbach margrave Albrecht Alcibiades during the Second Margravial War. Its ruins were not rebuilt after the end of the war, but Hauseck functioned as the seat of the imperial city maintenance office for another half century. In order to save administrative costs, the Hauseck nursing office was abolished in 1610 by the Nuremberg Council and its small territory was incorporated into the Velden nursing office. Until the end of the Holy Roman Empire, Hauseck itself, consisting of only three properties, was only an advanced exclave of the imperial urban area, which lay within the Duchy of Sulzbach in Wittelsbach . Together with the remaining territory of the Nuremberg, Hauseck came into the possession of the Kingdom of Bavaria with the annexation of the imperial city in 1806 .

Due to the administrative reforms carried out in the Kingdom of Bavaria at the beginning of the 19th century , Hauseck became part of the independent rural community Etzelwang with the second municipal edict in 1818 , which also included the villages of Bürtel , Gerhardsberg , Lehendorf , Lehenhammer , Neutras , Penzenhof , Schmidtstadt and Ziegelhütten . Only a little later, however, the Etzelwang community was dissolved again in 1820/21 and the new Schmidtstadt rural community was formed from it (with the exception of the two districts Etzelwang and Ziegelhütten). This did not have its parish seat in the eponymous place, but in Lehendorf. In the course of the communal territorial reform in Bavaria carried out in the 1970s , the municipality of Schmidtstadt (with the exception of Bürtel) was incorporated into the municipality of Neidstein in 1978 , which was renamed the municipality of Etzelwang in 1983 according to the largest district. In 2017 Hauseck had eleven residents.

traffic

The connection to the public road network is established by a community road that branches off from the AS 6 district road at Hirschbach and continues via Schmidtstadt in an east-south-east direction to the AS 39 district road . From this, a narrow road branches off about halfway in a northward direction, which ends at the highest property in Hauseck.
