geography
Mäusdorf lies at 410 m above sea level. NN . It is part of the locality and old community of Laßbach , which became a district of Künzelsau, the district town of the Hohenlohe district in Baden-Württemberg , with the municipal reform in 1972 . The village is on the watershed between Kocher and Jagst in a hollow on the edge of a brook blade. It is surrounded by the neighboring towns of Amrichshausen , Berndshausen, Nitzenhausen , Stetten Castle and Kocherstetten .
history
Mäusdorf was first mentioned as Musdorf in 1306 and is likely to be much older. It was part of the Baronate of the Barons of Stetten until 1806 . This line of Franconian imperial knights has been living in the Stauferburg Stetten high above the Kochertal for more than 900 years. In 1806 their territory and with it Mäusdorf fell to the newly formed Kingdom of Württemberg and was part of the rural community of Laßbach until 1972. A branch line of the Hohen Straße , which leads to Kirchberg an der Jagst and Langenburg , runs through the village. The residents suffered from the users of this military road, especially during the French Wars. In 1831 the population was 131, in 1883 188 people lived here. Today 115 people (83 ev., 15 cath., 10 different, as of January 1, 2020) live in Mäusdorf. Mäusdorfer farmers also took part in the Peasants' War of 1524/25 with the Tauberhaufen .
Together with Laßbach, Mäusdorf came to the district town of Künzelsau on January 1, 1972.
economy
For a long time, Mäusdorf agriculture was characterized by small-scale dairy farming; Pig breeding has largely replaced this branch of business. Today there are only two full-time dairy farms left. In the Middle Ages, viticulture was also practiced on 2.5 hectares on the outskirts of Mäusdorf; Remnants of the Stetten wine press are still there.
A DENA funding project , the Helwig solar house, demonstrates the possibilities of primary energy savings (37%) and avoidance of CO 2 emissions (1.0 t / a) on a single-family craftsman's house built in 1936 .
The site of the former Laichinger nursery is to be planned and developed for residential development from 2020.
The village became known regionally through the products of the Mäusdorf dairy (1926–2001) and the Demeter organic poultry farm v. Wistinghausen / Noz. ("Brunnenhof", since 1967)
societies
Mäusdorf was once a farming and craft village without a school, church, kindergarten or town hall and is now a village-like place of residence. Although there are no clubs based there, an active village life is maintained with excursions, annual village festivals and with the Kocherstetten clubs (trombone choir, church choir, sports club, country women’s club).
education
The Mäusdorf children attend kindergarten and elementary school in Kocherstetten . The next secondary schools are in Künzelsau .
Religions
Most of the population is Protestant and member of the Ev. Parish of Kocherstetten. The St. Wolfgang Chapel existed until the first half of the 19th century and was demolished because it was dilapidated. The “Blue Häusle” (Eichholzweg 4) now stands on its remains. A collection campaign by Johann Georg Krebs (1764 and 1766) from Mäusdorf led him to antics; With the donations obtained, the reconstruction of the chapel was not improved, but the school system in Morsbach was improved.
Attractions
The slightly undulating terrain is characterized by sinkholes . The "Seeholz", a sinkhole lake, was elevated to a natural monument in 1982 under the name "Kügelhofer Moortopf". The Siedelsbachloch is a rarity in Hohenlohe, a "stream shrinkage" that guides the inflowing water from the former Allmende "Heiderück" and a spring under the Kocher / Jagst watershed into the Heiligenbach to Kocherstetten. Two other large sinkholes were filled in and leveled during the land consolidation (carried out 1970–1985).
In 1596, the Allmendweide Heiderück was the subject of a lawsuit by the Barons of Stetten against the German Order before the Imperial Court of Justice for the former joint grazing rights of the Mäusdorfer, Nitzenhäuser and Berndshausen farmers, which ended in 1605 with a settlement and the later division of the Allmende.
On the Chaussee from Mäusdorf to Nitzenhausen, today's Landesstraße 1034, there were once the locations of the Stetten gallows, where the last of six executions in the Stetten area took place in 1772.
