Kupferzell is a municipality in the Hohenlohe district in the Franconian north-east of Baden-Württemberg . It belongs to the Heilbronn-Franconia region (until May 20, 2003 Franconia region ).
geography
Geographical location
Kupferzell has a share in the natural areas of the Swabian-Franconian Forest Mountains , Kocher-Jagst Plains and Hohenloher-Haller Plains . The main town of Kupferzell lies on the Kupfer , a tributary of the Kocher .
Community structure
After the merger of the former communities of Eschental , Feßbach , Goggenbach , Kupferzell, Mangoldsall and Westernach , Kupferzell consists of the following 21 districts:
- The village of Kupferzell, the hamlets of Rechbach and Ulrichsberg and the Schafhof farm as well as the abandoned villages of Endtberg, Hörzelberg, Mayen, Rieden and Wildenhofen belong to the former municipality of Kupferzell within the borders of December 31, 1971 .
- The village of Eschental and the hamlet of Einweiler as well as the defunct Günzburg Castle belong to the former municipality of Eschental .
- The village of Feßbach and the hamlets of Kubach, Künsbach and Rüblingen as well as the abandoned towns of Bullingsweiler, Hefenhofen and Tiefenbronn belong to the former municipality of Feßbach .
- The village of Goggenbach belongs to the former municipality of Goggenbach.
- The village of Mangoldsall and the hamlet of Füßbach as well as the abandoned villages of Frowichsall and Kapfenhardt belong to the former municipality of Mangoldsall .
- The former municipality of Westernach includes the village of Westernach, the hamlets of Bauersbach , Beltersrot, Belzhag , Hesselbronn and Lochholz and the houses of Neu-Kupfer and Stegmühle as well as the abandoned villages of Hof, Höflein and Hurelbach.
The districts are officially named by prefixing the name of the municipality and followed by the names of the districts connected with a hyphen. For the election of the municipal council, the municipal area is divided into ten residential areas in accordance with the Baden-Württemberg municipal code. In the incorporated communities, localities are set up within the meaning of the Baden-Württemberg municipal code with their own local council and a local mayor as its chairman. For the election of the local councils, the false choice of suburbs is sometimes used accordingly and the localities are divided into residential areas.

history
middle Ages
The name Kupferzell goes back to a monk named Dietrich, who opened a hermit cell in the Ohrnwald on the Kupfer in order to retire. This is where the name Celle is derived , which was expanded to include the geographical name “uf dem Ornwald” and until the 15th century according to the location on the Kupfer . The first documented mention of Kupferzell as Celle dates back to 1236.
From 1323, Kupferzell was owned by Hohenlohe . The Gnadental Monastery and the Canons' Monastery of Öhringen also owned the town, and the place was often mortgaged.
Early modern age
When the Hohenlohe property was divided in 1553, Kupferzell came to Hohenlohe-Waldenburg , where the place became the official seat. In the late 17th century the place came to Hohenlohe-Waldenburg-Schillingsfürst .
The construction of the residential palace in 1721 made Kupferzell the capital of the Schillingsfürster territory. In addition, the village was in the Franconian Empire .
Württemberg time
As a result of the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss , the place - like almost all the Hohenlohe Lands - came to the Kingdom of Württemberg in 1806 and after a short period at the Neuenstein District Office belonged to the Oehringen District Office .
In 1892 the Kochertal Railway was connected to the Württemberg railway network .
During the district reform during the Nazi era in Württemberg , Kupferzell came to the district of Öhringen in 1938 .
Post-war and territorial reforms
In 1945 the place became part of the American zone of occupation and thus belonged to the newly founded state of Württemberg-Baden , which was incorporated into the current state of Baden-Württemberg in 1952.
On January 1, 1972, Kupferzell merged with Eschental, Feßbach, Mangoldsall, Goggenbach and Westernach to form the new municipality of Kupferzell.
In 1973 the district reform in Baden-Wuerttemberg took place , when Kupferzell came to the Hohenlohe district.

Protestant church
During the Reformation , Kupferzell became Protestant through the Counts of Hohenlohe according to the principle " Cuius regio, eius religio " . The parish of Kupferzell belongs to the parish of Öhringen of the Evangelical Regional Church . The partly Romanesque church was renovated around 1800 and expanded in 1900.
The Protestant church in Westernach does not belong to the parish of Kupferzell, but to the parish church of Waldenburg .
Catholic Church
Since the Catholic Counts of Hohenlohe-Waldenburg-Schillingsfürst made the town of Kupferzell their residence in the 18th century, the Roman Catholic denomination was again approved and promoted by the Counts of this line in 1719. Catholic services have been held in the castle chapel since 1729. In 1902, the Catholic St. Michaels Church was built in the neo-Romanesque style. The responsible Catholic deanery is the Hohenlohe deanery .
politics
Municipal council
In Kupferzell, the municipal council is elected using the spurious selection of a part of town. The number of local councils can change due to overhang mandates .

The new municipality of Kupferzell still carries the old Kupferzell coat of arms from 1957. The leopard comes from the Hohenlohe coat of arms and represents that all parts of Kupferzell belong to Hohenlohe, the church ( cell ) refers to the community name. The coat of arms and flag were awarded to the municipality on February 27, 1976 by the district office of Hohenlohekreis.
Economy and Infrastructure
Established businesses
- The Reca Norm GmbH is a distributor of tools and fastening technology.
traffic
Kupferzell is well connected to the national road network in Germany and to France and the Czech Republic via the federal motorway 6 ( Saarbrücken - Waidhaus ) . In the past, Kupferzell had a railway connection with the Kochertalbahn , until its operation was finally stopped in 1991. The station was the Hohenlohe Open Air Museum Wackershofen translocated .
education
The Johann Friedrich Mayer School in Kupferzell is a primary and secondary school with a technical secondary school . It is one of the 34 starter schools that will be the first community schools in Baden-Württemberg from the 2012/2013 school year .
The Academy for Agriculture and Housekeeping (ALH) is located in Kupferzell Castle. It is a technical school sponsored by the Hohenlohekreis in cooperation with the Schwäbisch Hall district.
Culture and sights
The former residential palace of Kupferzell was built in 1721 by Count Philipp Ernst. In 1922 the Württemberg Chamber of Agriculture bought the castle and turned it into a school for agriculture and housekeeping, which still exists today.
The Protestant church in Westernach goes back to at least the 15th century and was renewed as early as the 16th century. The font dates from the 18th century.
The former copper Zeller station building from 1892 was probably 1990 as the first representatives of Württemberg unit station in the Hohenlohe Open Air Museum Wackershofen translocated . The building is there at the Wackershofen stop , but still bears the label Kupferzell . The former Kupferzeller warehouse from 1897/98, the oldest cooperative warehouse in Baden-Württemberg, was also brought to the Wackershofen Open Air Museum in 1986/87.

Kupferzell fossil deposit
Kupferzell and the Hohenloher Plateau are regionally located in the west of the southern German layered plain , in the outcrop of the upper shell limestone and the lower Keuper. While relatively well-preserved remains of Nothosaurus and Simosaurus can be found in the Upper Muschelkalk east of Kupferzell, in the Rüblingen quarry, the Keuper (" Lettenkeuper ", Erfurt Formation , Upper Ladin , about 235 million years ago today) south of Kupferzell is partly like this rich in remains of primeval land vertebrates that the area is considered a "mass grave of fossil dinosaurs". As part of an emergency excavation during the construction of the A 6 between Heilbronn and Nuremberg, around 30,000 individual bones were recovered from Kupferzell- Bauersbach in 1977 . The occurrence was discovered by the Waldenburg railway worker and amateur paleontologist Johann Wegele and then reported to the State Museum of Natural History in Stuttgart via the Heilbronn VfMG section . Between March 18 and June 3, employees of the museum and volunteers from the VfMG systematically mined the fossil deposit under time pressure. The site is no longer accessible today.
The main part of the bones was recovered from a sequence of layers of green, yellow and brown partly dolomitic marls , which were very likely deposited in freshwater or relatively heavily sweetened brackish water bodies. The deposit can best be characterized as a concentrate deposit . Although the state of preservation of the material is relatively good and sometimes complete skeletons and partial skeletons have been handed down in an anatomical context, the bones - some of which were pre-fossilized and relocated - were apparently washed up. The Fund is one interval lithostratigraphically to the lower gray marl in the upper part of Erfurt lineup.
The vast majority of the vertebrate fauna (around 90%) is represented by only two species of temnospondylum : the rather small plagiosaurid Gerrothorax pustuloglomeratus (70%) and the large mastodonsaurid Mastodonsaurus giganteus (20%). Both are non-amniotic representatives who led a way of life that was strongly tied to water. They apparently lived close to or directly in the lakes or lagoons in whose sediments their remains were handed down. The same applies to the much rarer Temnospondylum species Kupferzellia wildi * § , Plagiosuchus pustuliferus (a close relative of Gerrothorax ) as well as the species Trematolestes hagdorni , Callistomordax krowiella schumystaniella and Bumystomordax kugleri, which were first described on the basis of more complete material from other northern Württemberg Lettenkeuper localities (see below) . Batrachotomus kupferzellensis * , a Rauisuchide , is also rarely represented, but with a few quite complete specimens . This reptile lived on dry land and its remains were probably washed into the dumping area by a flooding river. The only other reliable evidence of a purely land-living animal are osteoderms of a relatively close relative of Batrachotomus , who was described in 2014 under the name Jaxtasuchus salomoni . Whether the assignment of three-pointed teeth to an indeterminable cynodontal animal , a mammal-like amniote , is not entirely certain. The remaining amniotes come from the aquatic reptiles Neusticosaurus pusillus , Tanystropheus and Nothosaurus . Various bony and cartilaginous fish are also represented in the copper cell fauna. Of these, however, only the lung fish Ptychoceratodus serratus and the ray- finned Serrolepis can be more precisely determined (as of 2003) .
About the same time as Kupferzell-Bauersbach, the important Lettenkeuper sites were discovered in the quarries near Vellberg (type locality of Bystrowiella , Callistomordax and Jaxtasuchus ), in a building area in Michelbach an der Bilz (type locality of Trematolestes ) and in a section of the motorway (A 6 ) near Ilshofen . They are all located in the Schwäbisch Hall district, around 20 km south-southeast to east-southeast of Kupferzell.
