Hornau (colloquially: Hourna ) is a district of the municipality Windelsbach in the district of Ansbach in Middle Franconia ( Bavaria ).

geography

The village is close to the right of the uppermost Altmühl and the Erlachbach , which this flows into from the right and which itself runs through the village of the Wolfsgraben . To the east of Hornau lies the Hornauer Weiher through which the Altmühl flows and which is used as a bathing pond and at the outlet of which is the Hornauer Mühle.

The district road AN 7 / NEA 52 leads past the Erlach settlement to Burgbernheim (3 km north) or to AN 8 at the Gugelmühle (2.3 km south).

Opinions about the origin of the Altmühl were and are divided, as is not uncommon for the sources of larger rivers. From a hydrological point of view, it is at the source of a short inflow to the Hirschweiher in the forest in the nearby Wildbad district of Burgbergheim , but a stone also claims its origin at the even closer source of the Erlachbach mentioned above at the Erlach settlement in Burgbernheim . And in 1904 the drainage ditch of the Hornauer Weiher was established by the Royal Bavarian Hydrotechnical Bureau in Munich as the source of the Altmühl.

history

The place name is derived from a field name of the same name, whose defining word is “horo” ( mhd. = Swamp) and whose basic word is “ -au ”. It was called the river landscape of the upper Altmühl. The place was probably founded at the end of the 12th century on a trade route that led from Bergel to Windelsbach. As a result of the Thirty Years' War Hornau was completely deserted from 1641 to 1668, the place was not settled again until 1690.

At the end of the 18th century there were 19 properties and a castle in Hornau. The high court exercised the Brandenburg-Bayreuth mayor's office in Markt Bergel . The village and township government had the imperial city of Rothenburg held. The landlords were the imperial city of Rothenburg (2 half yards, 4 estates, 2 half estates, 7 forage estates, 1 little estate, 1 mill), the Rothenburg citizen Hofmann (1 yard) and the Kommende Rothenburg of the Order of St. John (1 yard). From 1797 to 1808 the place was under the judicial office Külsheim and chamber office Ipsheim .

As part of the municipal edict, Hornau was assigned to the Bergel tax district formed in 1811 . It also belonged to the municipality of Bergel formed in 1817. With the second community edict (1818), the place was re-incorporated into the newly formed rural community of Preuntsfelden .

On January 1, 1972 Hornau was incorporated into Windelsbach as part of the regional reform .
