Hurenfurt

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hurenfurt was a place that was located in the Middle Ages in the west of what is today the district of Fürfeld (a district of Bad Rappenau in the Heilbronn district in northern Baden-Württemberg ). The place is documented in sources from the 13th and 14th centuries and had already disappeared in the 16th century. The desert was later named Altfürfeld .

history

The oldest evidence of the place Hurenfurt comes from the land register of the Wimpfen monastery around 1290. The monastery dean and author of the land register, Burkhard von Hall , had visited all the places in which the monastery had rights and, following his travel route, the places and the respective places in the land register Levies held. From Massenbach he came via Dietershusen (today Massenbachhausen ) and Liuterstein (abandoned place in the area of ​​the present-day Leutersteiner Höfe belonging to Massenbachhausen) to Hurenfurt, from where he visited Fürfeld and then traveled on to Grombach . From the description of goods in Hurenfurt it can be deduced that the place was probably about one and a half kilometers west of Fürfeld. The field name Pfaffenbrunnen in that area could refer to the former ownership of the Wimpfen monastery.

Further information on localization can be found in the place name Hurenfurt , which is probably derived from hurwin (Old High German for swampy ). To the west of Fürfeld, Frankfurter Strasse , also known as the Hohe Strasse , ran through the swampy headwaters of the Fürfelder Bach. Archaeological investigations in this area have revealed traces of Roman settlement as well as remains of medieval vessels. Hurenfurt could therefore have arisen along the long-distance route at the site of a former Roman settlement.

In a necrology of the Wimpfen monastery from the 13th century, the Worms bishop Azecho is commemorated on January 16 , who was bishop in Worms from 1025 to 1044 and during whose tenure Hurenfurt is said to have come into possession of the Wimpfen monastery. In the land register three care yards of the Wimpfen monastery and at least three other houses in Hurenfurt are named. The monastery owned two thirds of the large and small tithe , the bailiwick and jurisdiction over the place.

1315 came the place with residents, goods and jurisdiction in exchange for the tithe in Offenau to Conrad von Neipperg , whereby the Wimpfen monastery kept the large tithe in Hurenfurt. The place is mentioned for the last time as a settlement in the exchange deed.

In the 15th and 16th centuries, Hurenfurt was only mentioned in connection with tithe rights, but the fields there were probably already tilled by farmers in Fürfeld. The most recent archaeological finds date from the 15th century, so that the place was probably abandoned before the 16th century.

In 1569, a separately petrified area near Fürfeld with tithing rights of the Wimpfen monastery is called Altfürfeld , in 1622 the Wimpfen monastery reaffirmed its traditional rights in Altfürfeld. In 1681 there was no longer any separate marking. In the Oberamtsbeschreibung of the Oberamt Heilbronn from 1865 it is mentioned that Altfürfeld had already left before the Thirty Years War .

The reasons for the abandonment of the place are seen in the settlement concentration of the late Middle Ages and the unfavorable location on the trunk road. The residents of Hurenfurt / Altfürfeld have most likely moved to nearby Fürfeld, where a local wall and the Fürfeld castle offered much more protection than the unpaved farmsteads on the long distance.
