Lahm is a district of the Upper Franconian community of Itzgrund in the Coburg district .

geography

The parish village is located south of Coburg , about 20 kilometers away. The place is located on a flat eastern slope of the Itzgrund , on the western edge of a castle sandstone layer of the middle Keuper . To the south is the 285 meter high Lahmerhöhe. The stream of the same name rises east of Lahm at Eggenbach , a left tributary of the Itz , which crosses the town to the north and is dammed up by a weir to form a pond. The Itz is the western boundary of the district and at the same time the border with the administrative district of Lower Franconia . As early as the High Middle Ages, a convoy led from Bamberg to Coburg along the Itz through the village. Today federal road 4 , which was moved from Lahm to the outskirts in 1962, lies between the Itz and the town .

history

Lahm was first mentioned around 800 in the traditions of the Fulda Monastery , which are based on a copy in the Codex Eberhardi from the 12th century. The place name is of Slavic origin and means break, wind break.

In the 10th century, Lahm was part of the Grabfeldgau , which also included the area between Itz and Main, the Banzgau. In church terms, the place was initially assigned to the original parish of Altenbanz . After the Upper Franconian diocese of Bamberg was founded , Lahm stayed with the Lower Franconian bishopric of Würzburg .

Lahm Castle

A manor was founded in the 13th century. The Lords of Lichtenstein were first named as its owners in 1333 . The place Kaltenherberg as well as goods in Pülsdorf and Schottenstein belonged to the manor . Lahm was a very wealthy village, the first and most profitable manor in the knightly canton of Baunach . The von Lichtenstein were part of the imperial knighthood . Like most of the Frankish nobility, they introduced the Reformation in the second half of the 16th century . In 1699, Wilhelm Ulrich von Lichtenstein zu Lichtenstein, the main line of the family died out and the Lichtensteiners from Lahm inherited the ancestral seat of Lichtenstein Castle .

In 1819 the von Lichtenstein sold the manor to the Baron von Bibra and the Bamberg mayor of Hornthal . In 1820 Duke Wilhelm acquired the estate in Bavaria . His grandson, Duke Maximilian in Bavaria, broke it up in 1852 by dividing it into 14 parcels and selling it to local farming families.

In 1578 Lahm had 17 built hearths and a wasteland in addition to the castle, church and rectory. In the 16th century, colonists settled around the castle. In 1792 there were 31 properties, in 1801 48 houses and 275 inhabitants. In 1852 there were 382 inhabitants and 125 houses. In 1925 the village had 187 inhabitants and 41 houses. The community, which also included Kaltenherberg and Pülsdorf , had 271 people, 256 of whom belonged to the Evangelical Lutheran Church. In 1987 the village had 270 inhabitants and 83 houses with 101 apartments.

On October 1, 1913, Lahm was connected to the railway network with the Breitengüßbach – Dietersdorf railway. The passenger traffic was stopped on September 28, 1975, on September 27, 1981 the complete shutdown took place. In 1957 the place name was changed to Lahm im Itzgrund. A new school house was inaugurated in 1961 for the students from Lahm and Pülsdorf. The building has been used by a kindergarten since 1995.

On July 1, 1972, the Staffelstein district was dissolved. Since then, Lahm has been part of the Coburg district . In the course of the Bavarian regional reform , Lahm lost its independence as a municipality on May 1, 1978 and, like its districts, the village of Pülsdorf and the wasteland of Kaltenherberg, became part of the municipality of Itzgrund.

Lahm has an extraordinarily large historical building stock, which has also been preserved in its structure. The list of architectural monuments in Lahm includes 13 architectural monuments. The village structure can be described as a cluster village with small parceled mixed fields. It was an artisan farming village. The place is divided into several parts. To the west are the church, rectory, school, utility building, garden and park. This is followed to the east in a central area, closely spaced farmers and craftsmen's properties. Mostly eaves-standing properties are arranged along the Geleitstrasse like a street village.

The Evangelical Lutheran parish and palace church of the Holy Trinity was built by the Lords of Lichtenstein from 1728 to 1732 as a court and community church based on a design by the Ansbach court building director Carl Friedrich von Zocha . It is a cross-shaped central building in the French Baroque style with the tower in the east above the sacristy . The furnishings include a pulpit altar , above which is the original organ by Heinrich Gottlieb Herbst from Halberstadt , which has largely been preserved in its original state .

The former castle was built around 1710. The previous building was probably a moated castle. It is not, as usual, on an elevated slope, but at the lowest point of the village. The building is a stately, two-story structure with four to eleven axes on a high basement. The portal, which can be reached via a flight of stairs, has had the Bavarian diamond coat of arms since 1820.
