geography

Mäbenberg is a street village whose houses, following the course of the street, gather in an arch around a wide meadow. The old center of the village, where the small manor may have been located, is characterized by the little church of St. Oswald, built in 1489 and painted oxblood red. The Rittersbach, a left tributary of the Rednitz, rises in the village . The Abenberg Forest borders in the west . Approx. The Leitenberg ( 469  m above sea level ) rises in this 0.5 km to the west . In the north lies the forest area "Breitenlohe", in the east the "Kappental" and the "Eichenbühl", in the southeast the "Ungerbühl" and the forest area "Urläß" and in the south the forest area "Speck".

Communal roads lead to Weinmannshof (1.8 km northeast), Rittersbach (1.4 km east) and Georgensgmünd (3.1 km south) each to State Road 2224 . Further communal roads lead to Untersteinbach ob Gmünd to the district road RH 9 (2.5 km southwest) and to Asbach (1.1 km north).

history

Finds from 1840 suggest that Mäbenberg was a settlement as early as the Bronze Age. This year, the farmer Matthias Kühnlein found some bronze objects in the hallway known at the time as "Wolfsacker" , including an earthen pot with a diameter of approx. 30 cm closed with a sandstone lid. It was found about 1 m below the surface. It contained the following items: a bronze knife, some bronze rings, robe pins and bracelets. Wolf teeth were also discovered in the pit. In 1842 the finds were sent to Ansbach and have been lost ever since.

In 1182 an Otto von Makkenberg was mentioned in a document. As usual, the noble family named itself after the place where it was located. Thus, its mention is at the same time the first written mention of the place. In 1364 the place was mentioned as "Magenberg", from 1567 to 1655 as "Mamberg", and then in 1653 as "Mabenberg".

The Lords of Megenberg were followers of the Lords of Abenberg . They received their fief from 1300 from the Nuremberg burgraves . From the 15th century onwards, there were no more nobility living in Mäbenberg and the manor was owned by farmers.

Towards the end of the 18th century there were 28 properties in Mäbenberg (4 whole courtyards, 3 half courtyards, 9 Köbler estates , 1 estate with a tavern , 1 estate with a forge, 9 estates, 1 brickworks). The high court exercised the Brandenburg-Ansbach Oberamt Roth , the village and community rulership as well as the lordship over all properties was held by the Altschell pension administration , which was part of the knightly canton of Altmühl . In addition to the property, there was also the Church of St. Oswald and the Shepherd's House, which was a communal building. In 1801 there were 26 properties in the village.

In 1806 Mäbenberg came to the Kingdom of Bavaria . As part of the community edict , it was assigned to the newly formed Rittersbach tax district in 1808 . In 1811 the rural community Mäbenberg was formed, to which the Hämmerleinsmühle belonged. In administration and jurisdiction, it was subordinate to the Pleinfeld Regional Court ( renamed the Roth Regional Court in 1858 ) and the financial management of the Spalt Rent Office ( renamed the Spalt Tax Office in 1920 ). The patrimonial courts Mäbenberg I and II held voluntary jurisdiction until 1848 . From 1862 Mäbenberg was administered by the Schwabach district office (renamed the Schwabach district in 1938 ). The jurisdiction remained until 1879 the District Court Roth, 1880 at the District Court Roth . On March 31, 1910, the Hämmerleinsmühle was moved to Georgensgmünd. In 1932 the Spalt tax office was dissolved. Since then Mäbenberg has been subordinate to the Schwabach tax office in the financial administration . Until 1950 the municipality had an area of ​​5,170 km². In 1961 it had an area of ​​4.641 km².

On June 1, 1972, Mäbenberg was incorporated into Georgensgmünd.

The Druid Stone

The Druid Stone

▼ The striking sandstone rockDruidenstein in the Mäbenberg Forest, between Abenberg and Georgensgmünd, was mentioned for the first time in 1465 as a prominent field sign "Hohlzeichen". Legends about the rock as a place of sacrifice forCelticpriests gave the stone its name in the 19th century. The “blood channel” and the “royal seat” did not come into the stone until the beginning of the 20th century. In old maps some barrows and a Celtic settlement are recorded south of the stone, which suggests a possible cultic use.
