Geographical location

The desert lies on the western edge of the Schweinfurt Rhön at 320 m above sea level. NN, seven kilometers north of Schweinfurt . It is located on the eastern edge of Hambach (district of Dittelbrunn ), close to the border of the Zell district (district of Üchtelhausen ). The corridor around the former village still bears the name Lauerbach today , the northern part of the forest is called Lauerbachholz and the stream in the Lauerbach valley , a tributary of the Marienbach .

history

First documented mention under the name Lürbuch in a permit dated July 27, 1302 from Bishop Lupold of Bamberg, who allowed Abbot Emmehard and the convent of Theres to buy Lauerbach. Around 1330 it became the property of the Teutonic Order . Already in 1425 documents speak of a desert. In 1437 Laurbach was sold to the city of Schweinfurt . In 1693, after an inspection by Reich Commissioners, the district was left to the Hambach community. A church dedicated to St. Aegidius also belonged to Lauerbach . The church was demolished in 1850. The last remains of the wall were excavated in 1950 and used as building material. In 1955 a memorial cross was erected by the Hambach youth.

description

The medieval church village was on the eastern slope (the sunny side) of the Lauerbachgrund. Today there is a small wood on the desert and in it there are two springs at the memorial cross above the former church ruins. In a topographic map from the 19th century , this point forms the western corner of the corridor Am Kirchhof . Seven numbered parcels in the size and shape of house lots are drawn in this corner. These are affected in the south by approx. 50 parcels, in the arrangement of an unregulated, single-row village (street village) in an east-west direction. The parcels stretch 500 m in length exactly north along a present-day agricultural path, but are not the size of traditional Franconian farms (approx. 1000 m²), but only house plots with around 300 m². However, behind it on both sides, similar to a street village, there are striped corridors , but without reference to the boundaries of the approximately 50 parcels.

Not far north of the grove, on the edge of the Lauerbachholz, there is a chapel today. 170 m south of the grove, a parcel called Oberer Trudenplan is drawn on the historical map above, with its size and name out of the scope of the surrounding area , with its boundaries unchanged to this day. A term that occurs in Middle High German (1050 to 1350) as Trute and in the Gothic language ( 4th  to 6th centuries ) as Trudan . As a plan in Schweinfurt central village greens (be Anger ) denotes where most traditional dance events take place ( Schedule dance ).

The desert is managed by the Bavarian State Office for Monument Preservation as a ground monument D-6-5827-0011 Medieval local and church desert "Lauerbach" (as of August 31, 2017).
