Kaisersbach (Beilstein)
Kaisersbach is a hamlet in the district of Heilbronn in northern Baden-Württemberg , which once belonged to Schmidhausen and with this came to the city of Beilstein in 1971 .
geography
Kaisersbach is located in the Swabian-Franconian Forest about five kilometers northeast of Schmidhausen on the right bank of the Schmidbach valley, which slopes down from the northeast near Löwenstein to Schmidhausen in the southwest.
history
Kaisersbach is the furthest to the east of all Schmidhausen hamlets, so that the place (with the exception of the hamlet of Maad, which was only created as a mercenary settlement in the 16th century ) is probably the youngest of the hamlets created by clearing settlement in the Schmidbachtal. The name indicates a high medieval foundation by the Lords of Wunnenstein , who were probably servants of the Staufer emperors . Kaisersbach was originally a single manorial estate . The Trogbach , which once flowed through the farm , probably got its name from the fact that it was diverted through it to irrigate the farm and fed a trough there that was necessary for the water supply for people and cattle . The stream flowed through the place until 1927/28, when it was relocated during road construction work and diverted into the fish ponds east of the place.
The Hofgut came from Wilhelm von Wunnenstein to Berthold von Urbach in 1360 and since then has essentially shared the history of Schmidhausen, with whom it came to the Count Palatine near Rhine in 1443 and thus to the Counts of Löwenstein , who held the property from 1510 as a Württemberg man fief. Ecclesiastically, the place, like all Schmidhausen hamlets, has always been part of Beilstein.
In 1509 Kaisersbach was still a single fiefdom , which was divided into two fiefdoms in 1539. In 1559 the feudal area covered 309 acres. With 208 acres, forests made up the largest proportion, followed by fields (50 acres), meadows (48 acres) and vineyards (3 acres). After the Thirty Years' War there were four fiefdoms on site, and in 1753 there were eight hearths. As the population grew, more forest was cleared, in the course of which viticulture was also intensified, and a wine press was built in Kaisersbach.
During the implementation of the new administrative structure in the Kingdom of Württemberg , Kaisersbach was assigned to the Marbach Oberamt together with Schmidhausen in 1810 .
In 1810 there were 64 inhabitants. By the end of the 19th century, the population grew to 86 people in 1896 and then slowly but steadily decreased. In 1979 there were 29 inhabitants, in 1985 there were 37.
