Lahm is part of the municipality of Wilhelmsthal in the Upper Franconian district of Kronach in Bavaria .

geography

The parish village of Lahm is located around 15 kilometers north of the district town of Kronach in the Franconian Forest Nature Park on a ridge at around 550 meters above sea level . It developed as a historic rural village in a saddle position with a forest hoofed field . The large village green, together with the church, rectory and the former large school building in the immediate vicinity, form the center. The properties, three-sided systems and hooked courtyards , are arranged around the center of the village. Starting from them, strips of land (so-called hooves) run parallel to the boundary. The traffic development takes place via the state road 2200 , which connects Lahm with Wilhelmsthal Hauptort, beyond that with Kronach, as well as in the opposite, northern direction with Effelter and further with Tschirn .

history

In 1187 the bishop of Bamberg handed Otto II. The Klosterlangheim a piece of land in Nortwald , the medieval name for the forest mountains in northeast Bavaria. The abbey promoted the development of the then still covered by dense forest and largely uninhabited region in the north of the diocese of Bamberg . The first settlements did not emerge in the damp valleys overgrown by alluvial forests, but first on the wooded plateaus in cleared islands. Lahm was founded in the period between 1187 and 1210. The parish church was attested as "ecclesia parrochialis" as early as 1323/28.

In 1575 Lahm consisted of 13 estates, in 1676 the place had 36 households. School lessons were held in 1644 and the church administration only had a school house built in 1684. The parish has celebrated the Scapular Festival every year since 1726 .

In 1801 the village consisted of a parish church, a parsonage, a schoolhouse, a community pastoral house, the community forge with one house, 33 other houses, 32 barns, two grinding mills with a house and barn on the Grümpel and a cutting mill on the Kremnitz . The village ten belonged to 2/3 of the court chamber of the Hochstift Bamberg and 1/3 to the pastor. Lahm, which belonged to the bishopric of Bamberg , passed through the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss in 1803, together with the remaining areas of the bishopric of Bamberg, into the possession of the electorate of Bavaria .

In 1862 the rural community of Lahm was incorporated into the newly created Bavarian district office of Teuschnitz . It consisted of four places, the village Lahm and the three, 1.5 kilometers from deserts Kremnitzschneidmühle, Obergrümpelmühle and Untergrümpelmühle and belonged to the district court Nordhalben . In 1871 the parish village had 298 inhabitants. The Catholic Church and the Catholic Denominational School were in the village. In 1900, the 596 hectare rural parish had 246 residents, of whom 240 were Catholic, and 47 were residential buildings. The main town had 232 inhabitants.

In 1925 there were 258 people living in 46 residential buildings in Lahm, all of whom were Catholic. The evangelical parish responsible was in Kronach, 9.0 kilometers away . The district of Kremnitzschneidmühle was burned down. In 1931 the Teuschnitz district office was dissolved and the Lahm community became part of the Kronach district office .

In 1950 the parish Lahm had 289 inhabitants and the parish village 277 inhabitants with 50 residential buildings. In 1961, 302 people lived in 53 residential buildings in the main town. The community consisted of three places, the parish village Lahm and the wastes Obergrümpelmühle and Untergrümpelmühle. In 1970 Lahm had 277 residents and in 1987 292 residents and 67 residential buildings with 77 apartments. The former municipality of Lahm had 301 inhabitants.

As part of the regional reform in Bavaria , the municipality of Lahm was incorporated into Wilhelmsthal on May 1, 1978.
