Mörlach is a district of Hilpoltstein in the Middle Franconian district of Roth in Bavaria with about 170 inhabitants.

geography

The church village is about 40 kilometers south of Nuremberg , not far from the A9 motorway on the state road 2220 from Hilpoltstein in the direction of Freystadt . About 500 meters south of Mörlach is the watershed of the Main-Danube Canal .

history

Mörlach was first mentioned in a document as Immenerla in 1114 . The village gave Otto de Immenerla , whose castle was about 1 kilometer northwest of the village in what is now Minettenheim , its name of origin. In the documents of the following time the name of Otto's family or the name of the place was written similarly, for example Immenerlech in 1264 , Ymirleich in 1370 and Immenerlach in 1548 . Later on, similarly sounding, shortened place names such as Erlach and Merlach , finally Mörlach and, in today's dialect, Mirla . All forms of the name contain in the second part with -erla, -erlech, -irleich, -erlach , -örlach and -irla the name of the place after an alder wood. The prefixes Immen- , and Ym- as well as the initial M- mean in one , in or im . This also corresponds to a document from 1302 in which the Mörlach church is listed in loco dicto zem Erlech . The derivation of Immen = bees published in 1862 by Johann Wolfgang Hilpert, however, is most likely wrong.

On January 1, 1972, Mörlach was incorporated into the town of Hilpoltstein together with its Minettenheim district.

mayor

On January 1, 1876, the registry offices were brought into being. The first registrar and thus also the mayor of Mörlach was a certain Mr. Köstler. He held this office until 1882. Johann Landmann was mayor from 1882 to 1892, and Lampert Kobras (then HsNr. 9) from 1892 to 1912. From 1912 to 1919 this office was carried out by master blacksmith Franz Brandl (No. 11), who was succeeded by Johann Koller from 1919 to 1933. In 1933, after the National Socialists seized power, SA men deposed him in the middle of the night during a “cleaning operation”. His successor was Lichtenstein, the then owner of the castle, who was considered a supporter of the National Socialists.

At the end of the Second World War in 1945, Lichtenstein was deposed by the Americans, they appointed Michael Heim (No. 3) to the office of mayor. After his death in 1952, the then shoemaker held the mayor's office until the municipal area reform in 1972.

Mörlach Castle

The local Mörlacher family has been mentioned since the early 12th century. From 1615 to around 1660 the estate belonged to the Welsers . The current rococo castle was built in 1775 by Christoph Adam Carl von Imhoff on the occasion of his return from India and his marriage to Luise Franziska Sophie von Schardt . He built a three-story castle in the English style with 112 windows. The stucco work was made by the Nuremberg master Johann Michael Krieger, who also stuccoed the parish church in Castell . Amalie von Imhoff , the builder's daughter, spent part of her childhood here until the family became impoverished and, with Goethe's support, moved to Weimar . The castle is now rented out for weddings and other events.

Church (St. Hippolytus)

The patron saint of the small Romanesque church complex, which was modified in the Baroque period, is St. Hippolytus. In 1738 the carpenter Joh.Niklas Waller made the tabulat (wooden ceiling), today's white ceiling was only created around 1790. The bell from 1790 was cast by Christian Victor Herold in Nuremberg. In the church there are various figures of saints from good to excellent work.

Important local buildings

In 1815 a first schoolhouse was built in Mörlach, masonry master Joh. Bapt. Löw from Hilpoltstein fatal. The school house also included five days' work of fields and meadows for the self-sufficiency of the teachers. A short time later a school barracks was also built. In the middle of the 19th century the school building was extended by one floor. On October 31, 1964, the new school building with a teacher's apartment was inaugurated.

In 1971 the old school building and the old school house were demolished and the space used to expand the cemetery. On September 1, 1979, the school closed, which had served its purpose for only 15 years and was then used as a meeting house until 2003. The construction of the new parish hall began with the groundbreaking on May 1st, 2002 and was completed in 2004.
