Mückenloch is a district of Neckargemünd in the Rhine-Neckar district in the north of Baden-Württemberg . The place is in the Neckartal-Odenwald Nature Park .

history

Mückenloch was first mentioned in 1273 as "Muegenloch" and was probably not a late clearing settlement on the slopes of the Neckar valley until the 11th or 12th century. The state sovereignty had the Palatinate . The local rule was held partly from 1398 and from the beginning of the 15th century until 1632 completely by the Lords of Hirschhorn as a fiefdom of the bishops of Würzburg . Between 1644 and 1663 it was awarded to Johann von Werth and his heirs. In 1691 the Würzburg bishops gave the village over half of Richtstetten to the Electoral Palatinate. At the beginning of the 19th century (1803) the place came to Baden . On January 1, 1975, Mückenloch was incorporated into Neckargemünd .

coat of arms

The blazon of the coat of arms reads: The black Latin capital letters ML connected by a ligature under a lying four-ended red deer pole in gold .

A court seal from 1752 already showed the letters "ML" for the place name. In 1900 the General State Archives designed a coat of arms in which a stag's pole was included as a reference to the Lords of Hirschhorn from their coat of arms. But by mistake it only had four endings instead of five as in the original. The colors were taken from the coat of arms of the Grand Duchy of Baden. In 1901 the municipality adopted the coat of arms.

Buildings

There are three churches in Mückenloch: the Catholic church in the center of the village, which dates back to the time the town was founded, but the church tower, which is under monument protection, and the extensive church wall partially collapsed during construction work on a new nave. As a result, the church was rebuilt in 1974 and the church tower had a similar design, but was no longer that high. The Protestant church, built from 1781, stood in Birkenstrasse between the Lehr and Heid houses until 1962. On a hill south of it, the new Protestant church was consecrated in 1930, as well as the New Apostolic Church built in 1984 in the northeast of the town near the cemetery, which replaced a previous building in the former main street now Talstraße from the 1950s. The town's school and town hall from 1912/13 is also striking.

Oddities

The place name Mückenloch is repeatedly included in collections of funny place names. Due to the origin of the settlement in a clearing in an old silted Neckar loop ("Mückenlocher Schlinge") with streams as breeding grounds for mosquitoes, the name should be taken literally.

Doris Day 's (maternal) grandmother was born in Mückenloch in 1863.
