Ketschenbach is a district of the Upper Franconian town of Neustadt bei Coburg in the Coburg district .

location

Ketschenbach is located on the western heights of the Neustadt basin, about two kilometers from Neustadt. The Schleifgraben, a tributary of the Röden , and a municipal road that connects Neustadt with the mountain village of Höhn run through the village .

history

Ketschenbach was first mentioned as Keyzchenbach in 1317 in the Urbarium , a list of possessions of the Henneberger when the New Rulership was acquired. At that time there were 13 estates and a mill in the place. Lying in the territory of the Hennebergers , Ketschenbach came to the Wettins in 1353 with the Coburg Land by inheritance and was thus part of the Electorate of Saxony from 1485 , from which the Duchy of Saxony-Coburg later emerged.

The lords of the manor owned the village. The noble family von Staffelstein is documented for 1497, who sold it together with a castle to Mathes von Rosenau in 1551. In 1713, Captain Volrath Tiemann von Rauchhaupt bought the Ketschenbach castle and estate from his brother-in-law Johann Christian von Rosenau. In the first half of the 19th century, the von Rauchhaupt family sold the heavily indebted property. The castle, a large single-storey stone house, was destroyed by fire in 1886 and no longer rebuilt.

After the Thirty Years' War , four farms and four Sölden estates lay desolate. The remaining five farms were not very profitable.

The Ketschenbach children went to school in Neustadt until 1780 and then in Haarbrücken . From 1839 the lessons in Thann were in the local parish hall and from 1862 in the new school house. On October 15, 1896, a separate school with one class was inaugurated on the former castle grounds. A new building in the Gartenfeld corridor area for 375,000 DM followed in 1964. In 1984 the school was closed. The building has been used as a kindergarten since 1990.

In a referendum on November 30, 1919, six citizens of Ketschenbach voted for the Free State of Coburg to join the Thuringian state and 45 against. From July 1, 1920, Ketschenbach also belonged to the Free State of Bavaria .

In the First World War 12 and in the Second World War 38 Ketschenbach soldiers lost their lives. A monument stands on the road to Höhn.

From the 1960s onwards, construction activities included the 4,272-hectare area of ​​Ziegenmüßäcker, where 37 single and multi-family houses were built by 1976, and in the Am Brändlein area, where 55 houses were planned on 6.7 hectares in the 1990s. A total of 120 residential buildings had been built by the end of the 1970s.

Since 1964 Ketschenbach has belonged to the newly founded Evangelical Lutheran parish of Haarbrücken.

After a public survey, Ketschenbach gave up his self-employment and became a district of Neustadt on January 1, 1972.

The drinking water supply used to be through house wells as well as pump, barrel and scoop wells. After December 27, 1970 all properties were connected to the drinking water network of Stadtwerke Neustadt. From 1926, the electricity supplier was the Coburg overland plant . On December 1, 1975, Stadtwerke Neustadt took over the power supply.
