Laubenzedel (colloquially: Labbazedl ) is a district of the city of Gunzenhausen in the central Franconian district of Weißenburg-Gunzenhausen with about 600 inhabitants. The place is at an altitude of about 421 meters above sea level.

geography

The place is located in the northwest of the Weißenburg-Gunzenhausen district in the Franconian Lake District , around 2.5 kilometers north of Gunzenhausen and 700 meters as the crow flies from Altmühlsee . It is crossed by the district road WUG 22 , the federal road 13 runs past it to the west. The Laubenzedeler Mühlbach , which previously fed the Schnackenweiher , the Eichenberger Weiher , the Branderweiher and the Speckweiher , flows through the village . The Kästleinsweiher is located in the northeast .

Coat of arms

The blazon reads: “The shield head, quartered in silver and black - reminiscent of the Ansbach margraves. Below it is divided obliquely to the left, above three times sheathed in red and silver, below black - borrowed from the Lentersheim coat of arms. "

history

The place name is probably derived from the words Laubold and Sedel. Laubold or Leubold is likely to have been the name of the first settler. Sedel is an old expression for settlement. This is supported by documentary mentions as "Lawboldsedel". The historical beginnings are in the dark. The first documentary mention was in 1271 under the name "Lieboltessedle". Laubenzedel never had its own rulership, but was protected by feudal lords . These were the Counts of Lentersheim , the Lords of Seckendorff , the Burgraves of Nuremberg , the Bishops of Eichstätt , the Margraves of Ansbach , the Order of Teutons in Absberg and others.

The Thirty Years' War shrank buildings, livestock and population. The place experienced an upswing through the settlement of Austrian exiles around 1650 by the Margraves of Ansbach. Many of today's residents are descendants of these immigrants. In 1806 the village was raised to a rural community under the Bavarian crown . Schlungenhof and Büchelberg were affiliated to it until 1824 .

Around 1900 the old community form with Sinderlach and the Schnackenmühle emerged again. This lasted until the municipal reform . On April 1, 1971, the community of the city of Gunzenhausen was incorporated.

In 1961, the place won the state and national victory of the competition Our village should become more beautiful . At that time, 385 people lived in the 78 properties in the village.

Construction of the Franconian Lake District began in the late 1970s. The village structure changed due to the proximity of the place to the Altmühlsee . Many farmers are now offering farm holidays . The Große and Kleine Brombachsee as well as the Igelsbachsee are about seven kilometers away and can be reached on the well-developed network of cycle paths. The Rothsee is also easily accessible via this network of trails.
