history

Limbach was first mentioned in 1239 as belonging to Katzwang under the name "Limpach" in the register of the Ellwangen Monastery . The place was mainly oriented towards agriculture and went to the Ebrach Monastery in 1296 . At the end of the 14th century, farming was converted to cattle and pasture farming and belonged to the principality of Ansbach . The place name comes from the Lintbach , which used to flow north of the place , which has now dried up and has been built over ( oh ahd. For brook, river).

Until 1806 Limbach was on the border between the Principality of Ansbach and the imperial city of Nuremberg (see map). In 1557 7 Hofstetten, 2 Huben and 1 house were listed as property for the Ebrach Monastery . In 1623, during the Thirty Years' War , Schwabach was besieged without success. The unarmed place Limbach was plundered and burned down during this time. Later, Austrian religious refugees settled there and rebuilt the village.

In 1732, Johann Georg Vetter named 8 properties for Limbach in the descriptions of the upper office , 3 of which were subordinate to the rich alms of the imperial city of Nuremberg and 5 to the Katzwang office of the Ebrach monastery office . Towards the end of the 18th century there were 11 properties and a community shepherd's house in Limbach. The high court exercised the Brandenburg-Ansbach Oberamt Schwabach . The village and community rulership was held by the office of Katzwang of the monastery office in Ebrach. The landlords were the Landesalmosenamt (1 whole courtyard with restaurant, 2 half courtyards) and the Katzwang department (6 whole courtyards, 1 three-quarter courtyard, 1 Gütlein). In 1801 there were still 11 properties in the village.

As part of the municipal edict , Limbach was assigned to the tax district Katzwang , II. Section in 1808 . It belonged to the rural community Penzendorf formed in 1818 . The Bavarian original cadastre shows Limbach in the 1810s as a clustered village with twelve hearths and a small pond . The Ludwig-Süd-Nord-Bahn reached the place in 1849 and brought it economic boom and some prosperity; the agricultural products could be transported more easily to the markets, in return coal and iron goods were imported. The place was electrified in 1914.

During World War II , Limbach was hit in an air raid by the British Air Force on the night of August 28, 1943 and most of it burned down. No historical building fabric was preserved.

On January 1, 1956, Limbach was reclassified to the independent city of Schwabach and, in addition to its own well, was connected to the long-distance drinking water supply.

With the construction boom that began in the 1950s, agriculture was gradually abandoned. The settlement area of the village, which used to be around five hectares in size, has since expanded to around 70 hectares. There is a predominance of private home and dense residential developments (row houses), only in the very south a small industrial area has emerged. In the west Limbach has grown together with the Schwabach settlement area, in the north with the Katzwangs and is now part of the suburb of the Nuremberg metropolitan area.
