Carrots with (right) guardian angel house, tower of the parish church and with the castle above the village

Möhren is a parish village and part of the city of Treuchtlingen in the central Franconian district of Weißenburg-Gunzenhausen . The hamlet of Fuchsmühle and the wasteland of Eichhof and Spielhof also belong to the district .

Geographical location and traffic

Möhren is located in the lower valley of the Möhrenbach, which flows to Treuchtlingen to Altmühl , in the Hahnenkamm in the southern Franconian Jura , which also gave the place its name. Halfway to Döckingen, about eight kilometers to the west (municipality of Polsingen ), is the 604.7 meter high Uhlberg . To the northwest is the Grottenhof forest area .

Möhren had a station on the Donauwörth – Treuchtlingen railway line , which uses the Möhrenbachtal to cross the southern Hahnenkamm. The upper Möhrenbach Bridge in Möhren at km 29.373 on the Donauwörth-Treuchtlingen line was deadened by DB Netz AG in 2011. The state road St 2217 leads from the lower valley of Treuchtlingen through the place and leaves it southwards to the federal road 2 ; the WUG 6 district road that branches off from it follows the upper valley.

history

The fact that the place was first mentioned in 899 as "Maromarcha" is considered to be refuted. Möhren originally belonged to the county of Lechsgemünd-Graisbach . 1198 to 1346 are the lords of Möhren , Lechsgemünder Ministeriale and are named as local nobility. In 1295 Heinrich Marschall von Pappenheim von Wirnt (Werner) and Hilprant von Möhren bought the castle at Möhren with the church fee and the man fiefs for 1000 pounds Heller. Möhren was bought from Pappenheim in 1342 by Konrad Sorg, who in turn sold it to the Counts of Oettingen . Also in 1342 the dukes of Bavaria were in possession of the high judiciary ; in 1347 they lent the stick and gallows to Burkhard von Seckendorf . In 1352 he united the new property with the village of Gundelsheim when Anna von Möhren sold her property there to the knight of Seckendorf. Feudal lords were the Margraves of Ansbach ; they enfeoffed Johann von Seckendorf with the castle and parts of Möhrens in 1464, 1474 and 1487. In 1505 the jurisdiction was passed to Pfalz-Neuburg and was awarded to the knight Hans von Seckendorf. In 1522, Hans Adam von Seckendorf sold his margravial Ansbach manslehen, namely the castle and rule Möhren-Gundelsheim, as well as the Palatinate-Neuburgian neck court loan to Christoph von Fuchs , Neuburg bailiff at Steffansburg, who rounded off his property in 1575 with further goods in Gundelsheim and in 1580 from Pfalz-Neuburg received the higher hunt.

The Reformation was introduced from Neuburg in 1542 . In 1626, Johann Karl Fuchs von Bimbach and Pfalz-Neuburg took on the old faith again, so that Möhren became Catholic again. When the lord of the castle died at Easter 1662 and the family of the von Fuchs family died out, the Margrave of Ansbach had the castle taken immediately. In the same year, the Duchy of Palatinate-Neuburg acquired the margravial-Ansbach rights by swap and assigned the new property to the Palatinate-Neuburg regional court of Monheim , which now had higher jurisdiction.

In 1347 the place got market rights, which were lost in the 17th century. In 1671 the castle church burned down together with 32 houses from lightning; the reconstruction was carried out by Pfalz-Neuburg in 1672/73. In 1703 Palatinate-Neuburg enfeoffed Klara Dorothea, the widowed Countess von Fugger-Kirchberg-Weißenhorn, and her daughter Felizitas with the rule of Möhren-Gundelsheim, but not with the sovereignty. The latter's husband, Count von Fugger-Nordendorf Marquard Eustach (+ June 19, 1732) , was later lent . In 1877, King Ludwig II granted the fallen knight's feud to Count Maximilian von Pappenheim, whose descendants continued to own the castle. At the end of the Old Kingdom , Möhren consisted of 67 properties that belonged to Count Fugger-Nordendorf as a landlord and in the lower court - with the exception of the community property (schoolhouse, shepherd's house and sea house) and church property (parish church, rectory and sacristan's apartment). In the new Kingdom of Bavaria (1806) Fugger was given local jurisdiction, in 1815 patrimonial second class with court holy men in Möhren and Gundelsheim, until in 1848 the aristocratic jurisdiction was also transferred to the Bavarian state.

Town hall and fire station from 1884 (renovated in 1983)

In the Kingdom of Bavaria , Möhren was a tax district to which Gundelsheim, Eichhof , Lochhof (= Lohhof), Spillhof (= play yard), Fuchsmühle and Seegmühle ( Sägmühle ) belonged. As a rural community in 1818, Möhren included the place itself (93 properties), the Fuchsmühle and the Lohhof (one property each). Assigned to the district of Donauwörth of the administrative district of Swabia, the municipality of Möhren (the parish village Möhren, the Einöden Eichhof and Spielhof as well as the hamlet Fuchsmühle) was incorporated into the town of Treuchtlingen and incorporated into the town of Treuchtlingen on July 1, 1972 as part of the regional reform in Bavaria under the last mayor Alfons Biber thus incorporated into the Middle Franconian district of Weißenburg in Bavaria (from May 1, 1973, district of Weißenburg-Gunzenhausen ). From 1975 to 1896 land consolidation and village renewal took place.

religion

The Catholic parish of the Assumption of Mary in Möhren belongs to the parish association Treuchtlingen-Pappenheim in the deanery Weißenburg-Wemding in the diocese of Eichstätt . In the Old Kingdom, the rule of carrots had the right to present the pastor.
The Protestants von Möhren belong to the Protestant parish of Rehlingen , which in turn is supplied by Büttelbronn .

Buildings

The parish church of the Assumption of Mary was completely rebuilt in 1583 by Andreas Fuchs von Bimbach, Herr zu Möhren, at the foot of the castle hill in the walled cemetery as a Protestant castle church with a free-standing tower and school. Catholic services were held again from 1626, but the church was no longer usable around the middle of the 17th century as a result of the Thirty Years' War, so that in 1659 services were held in a hall of the castle. In 1671 the church burned down and was replaced by a new building in 1673/74 under Count Palatine Philipp Wilhelm. In 1726 the church received a new nave (15 x 11.5 m) and a tower roof, in 1877 a Steinmeyer organ from Oettingen, in 1894 two new bells from Eichstätt and in 1921 a new bronze bell from Augsburg and in 1899 glass paintings by the Zettler company in Munich. From 1726 the castle church functioned as a parish church. In 1904/1906 the history painter Leonhard Thoma from Munich restored the church. The ceiling painting from 1745 shows, among other things, the place with the castle.

Aerial view of the castle

Above the village is Möhren Castle , which was largely rebuilt in 1711 by Marquard Eustach, Count von Fugger, after the previous complex had been completely neglected by the administrators of the ducal court chamber from 1662. The round south tower, however, still comes from this 13th century castle. In 1730, the count received a measurement license for himself and his servants in the newly built castle chapel . In 1966 the castle with meadows, fields and forests became the property of the Diakonieverband Hensoltshöhe in Gunzenhausen. The castle has been owned by a Dutch family since 2004. The current owners live in the castle itself and have furnished four houses as holiday homes.

Guardian Angel House

Another noticeable building in the village is the so-called Guardian Angel House for orphans , built between 1884 and 1886 on the initiative of the local pastor Johann Michael Schmidt by the St. Johannes District Association . The house was run by Maria Stern's Franciscan Sisters in Augsburg, who also looked after a handicraft school, a kindergarten and outpatient nursing. In 1891 a house chapel "Regina angelorum" was built, in 1893 a private school for elementary education for orphans was approved and in 1901 a new hall was built. In 1976 the relocation to Eichstätt took place in the form of the children's village Marienstein, run by Caritas. From 1979 to 1983 the Guardian Angel House housed Vietnamese refugees from camps in Manila and Hong Kong; it is currently empty.

In 1885 a Marian column was erected in the so-called Heiligengarten (former cemetery with the former parish church that burned down in 1702/03).
