location

The church village is located east of the Sulztal , west of the White Laber and north of the Ottmaringer Valley on the plateau of the southern Franconian Alb in the Altmühltal Nature Park . The district road EI 21 leads from the municipality of Beilngries to Kevenhüll.

history

A first customer of "Chebenhüle" dates from the middle of the 11th century, because around 1072 the Eichstätt Bishop Gundekar II consecrated a church here. A free family Khevenhüller is mentioned in 1208; further news about this local nobility is missing. In 1305, after the Hirschberg counts died out with Gebhard VII , the place came under the sovereignty of the Eichstätt Monastery. However, the majority of the manor was only gradually acquired by the Eichstatt bishops. Other Kevenhüller landlords were the Bavarian dukes and, in their successors, the Teutonic Order House in Obermässing since 1317 , the taverns of Flügelsberg as ministerials of the Hirschberg counts, the taverns of Geyern zu Stossenberg , the Güttinger by marriage to the Flügelsbergers, the rule of Breitenegg , the Hofmark Erasbach , the Benedictine - Plankstetten Abbey and since 1329 the Cistercian - Kloster Seligenporten . Furthermore there was peasant ownership. In the Thirty Years' War 13 homesteads were burnt down. In 1745 a new school house was built; presumably there was a school here with the sacristan as schoolmaster as early as the second half of the 16th century . Kevenhüll was also the seat of marital detention in the Oberamt Hirschberg-Beilngries.

In the course of secularization , the lower bishopric, to which Kevenhüll belonged, came to Grand Duke Archduke Ferdinand III in 1802 . from Tuscany and 1806 to Bavaria . In 1809, Kevenhüll formed a tax district together with Oberndorf , and from 1811 a rural community , from which Oberndorf was later separated again. In 1810 the community belonged to the Oberdonaukreis with the capital Eichstätt, from 1817 to the Regenkreis and the capital Regensburg. From 1838 the district of Beilngries and with it Kevenhüll was part of the district of Middle Franconia with the capital Ansbach.

In 1937 land consolidation was carried out. With the Bavarian territorial reform , the place joined the city of Beilngries on January 1, 1972. In 1973 there were 323 and in 1983 374 inhabitants who worked in 28 full-time agricultural businesses, 15 part-time businesses and two craft businesses.

Catholic parish church of St. Ulrich

Parish church of St. Ulrich in Kevenhüll

Kevenhüll probably belonged to the original parish of Kottingwörth and its early mass in Ottmaring ; There is talk of an Ottmaringer parish in Kevenhüll in 1518. In the late Middle Ages, Kevenhüll was a subsidiary of Beilngries, which in turn was incorporated into the Plankstetten monastery. In 1864 Kevenhüll became an independent parish . The nave of the parish church with sign is a baroque building from 1739/40 with corresponding stucco , with two large ceiling paintings and 16 medallion-shaped frescoes from 1749, with baroque altars with shrine figures and with a baroque pulpit. The fence walling of the fortified cemetery, of which we are still told at the beginning of the 17th century, no longer exists today, the cemetery is now simply walled; the former gate tower has also disappeared. The church tower with stepped gables and a gable roof is medieval, in it hang four bells, three from 1950 and one, the Ulrichs bell, from 1689. - The parish is cared for by the Plankstetten monastery.

Others

There is no documentary evidence of whether the Austrian noble family of Khevenhüller has its roots in Kevenhüll. In 1030 a knight Richard Kevenhüller is said to have moved to Austria. Honorary citizen of the former municipality of Kevenhüll was Hella Princess of Bavaria since 1967, born von Khevenhüller-Metsch (1921-2017), at that time the wife of Konstantin Prinz von Bayern .
