Kettersbach (colloquially: Ked ə schba ) is a district of the town of Windsbach in the district of Ansbach in Middle Franconia .

geography

The Kettersbach, a right tributary of the Aurach, flows through the village . Half a kilometer east of the village is the Hundsücken ( 412  m above sea level ), about 0.5 km northwest of the Leimenbuck ( 418  m above sea level ). Immediately to the west is the Oberer Grund corridor .

The district road AN 15 / RH 15 leads through the village, which connects the village with Brunn (1.5 km southeast) and Rudelsdorf (1.8 km east). A community road leads to Veitsaurach to AN 17 (1.6 km north) or to Leipersloh (1.8 km south).

history

Around 1050 the place was owned by the Count of Abenberg , from 1296 it was under the Eichstätt Monastery . In 1296 the place was first mentioned in a document as "Köterspach". The place name is derived from the same name of the water body. The defining word of the name of the water is probably the Slavic personal name "Choterad". According to this, it could be a Wendensiedlung , which was relocated to Franconia as planned under Charlemagne around 800. In any case, this interpretation of the name seems more accurate than the explanation that a number of springs between Brunn and Kettersbach were referred to as a chain, that is, Kettersbach is the settlement on the brook with the many springs. In 1312 the place is called "Chötgerzbach", 1407 "Köttersbach".

In the 16-point report of the Windsbach Regional Office from 1608, ten teams are listed for Kettersbach who lived in 5 farms and 5 Köbler estates . There was also a shepherd's house. The Abenberg caste office exercised the manorial rule over all properties , the high court was held by the Brandenburg-Ansbach caste and city bailiff's office in Windsbach .

In the Thirty Years' War Ketter Bach suffered severe damage. Eight out of 13 farms had burned down and five deserted because the residents fled. Reconstruction began around 1650.

Towards the end of the 18th century there were 10 properties in Kettersbach (3 courtyards, 2 half courtyards, 5 estates) and a community pastor's house. The high court was exercised by the caste and municipal bailiff's office in Windsbach. The Abenberg caste office held the village and community rulership and the lordship over all properties. From 1797 to 1808 the place was under the Justice and Chamber Office Windsbach .

As part of the community edict, Kettersbach was assigned to the Bertholdsdorf tax district formed in 1808 . It also belonged to the rural community of Bertholdsdorf, founded in 1810 . With the second community edict (1818), Kettersbach was re-incorporated into the newly formed rural community of Brunn . This was incorporated into the municipality of Windsbach on January 1, 1972 as part of the regional reform .

Historical description

In the geographical statistical-topographical lexicon of Franconia (1801) the place is described as follows:

“ Kettersbach, very Eichstättischer in the Fraischbezirke of the Ansbach Oberamt Windsbach, 2 hours northwest of Abenberg beyond Kapsdorf between Rudelsdorf and Bruner and parish to Veitsaurach hamlet of 10 households, all of which belong to the Eichstättischen care and caste office Abenberg.
The old road from Nuremberg to Swabia and Schweitzerland goes through this hamlet. The Spalter collegiate monastery has two thirds of the large and small tithe there and the Marienburg monastery a third.
In the year 1425 the Eichstättische Bishop Johann II, a Herr von Heydeck, the Messrs Konrad and Heinrich von Lentersheim let the last federation of the third part of the tithe von Kettersbach, whereas these make several of their own estates loanable to the barn of the Eichstätt church. "
