Maicha

Maicha is a district of Gunzenhausen in the central Franconian district of Weißenburg-Gunzenhausen . Before the municipal reform in Bavaria , Maicha was part of the dissolved municipality of Stetten .

Location and traffic

Maicha is located southwest of Gunzenhausen north of the state road St 2219 on the district road WUG 24 , which continues to Stetten.

Place name

The place name means "Siedlung zum Eichenwald", the initial "M" is the final consonate of the article "dem" or the preposition + article "zum" or "bei" of the original place name "Aichach", which in turn is based on an older field name, increased, as the historical evidence shows.

history

Maicha, a late clearing settlement , is mentioned for the first time around 1300 to 1364 in a fief book of the Bishop of Eichstätt in connection with the pledge of villages from King Albrecht to his uncle, Count Ludwig von Oettingen , the "Aichach" in this document copied in the 17th century "Probably" means today's village. According to a fiefdom of the Ellwangen monastery , in 1361 a Hans Stromayger and a Chu (o) nrat Buman had a “holtz”, meaning forest, to fief for “Aychach”. Around 1370 the Oettingsche Amt Spielberg received taxes from “Aychach”, in 1400 taxes also went to the Heidenheim monastery . From the second half of the 15th century we learn that “Aichach” belongs to the parish of Stetten.

In 1525 Maicha joined the rebels of the Peasant War , in contrast to neighboring Stetten ; on May 7, 1525, the farmers were bloodily beaten by Margrave Casimir in the battle of Ostheim . Maicha joined the Reformation even before 1528 and was given pastoral care by Obermögersheim until it joined the Protestant Parish Association of Stetten. In the 16th century, donations went to the Ansbachisch-Brandenburg caste office in Gunzenhausen, the Oettingsche Amt Sammenheim and the Eichstättische Vogtamt Bechhofen . In 1595 Friedrich Eyb zu Eybburg bought the Maicha subjects of Sebastian Neustetter, known as Stürmer.

At the beginning of the 17th century (1608) the fragmentation of the manorial system, which was often encountered in the Middle Ages, also became clear for the "Weyler Aichach": five subjects are Brandenburg-Ansbachian , three subjects are Eybian, two subjects belong to the Treuchtlinger line of Pappenheimer , one subject from Oettingsch Interest goes to the office of Sammenheim and one of the subjects owns the rule of Absberg (or later the Teutonic Order of Absberg). In 1665 the manorial conditions for “Aichich” are as follows: three subjects are Eichstättisch and are subordinate to the office of Cronheim , eight subjects are Brandenburg, one Oettingisch and four are knightly. In 1732 it is said of “Maicha,” that five of the Brandenburg subjects pay interest to the Gunzenhausen caste office and three to the Heidenheim monastery office (formed after the secularization of the monastery to manage the former monastery property); three Eichstätter subjects still belong to the office of Cronheim, one subject to the Oettingschen office of Spielberg and one subject to the German order commander Absberg. The high jurisdiction exercised the Ansbachisch-margravial, from 1792 Prussian Oberamt Gunzenhausen. It remained with 13 subjects, eight of them Ansbachian, until the end of the Old Kingdom .

In 1806 Maicha came from Prussian sovereignty to the Kingdom of Bavaria , where the village with Cronheim, Stetten, Filchenhard , Unterwurmbach and Unterhambach formed the tax district of Cronheim in the district court / rent office Gunzenhausen, later the district of Gunzenhausen . In 1811 Stetten became a rural community with Maicha and Unterhambach . During the next Bavarian community reform in 1818, with the separation of Unterhambach Stetten, Maicha became a rural community. This remained so until the municipal reform in Bavaria ; on April 1, 1971, Stetten and Maicha were incorporated into Gunzenhausen. The community came on July 1, 1972 in the now enlarged new district of Weißenburg-Gunzenhausen , initially with the name of the district of Weißenburg in Bavaria .

In Maicha is East Frankish spoken, while in nearby cities of the former district Dinkelsbühl the Swabian prevails. In 1955, the municipality of Stetten applied for the land consolidation to be carried out , which was concluded in December 1972 with the final determination for the two villages of Stetten and Maicha; As part of the land consolidation, a village renovation measure was also carried out in Maicha from 1964 onwards, a community machine hall was built and a playground and sports field laid out at the protected "Drei (black) Fohrln" (= Föhren ). In 1960 the 400-year-old local linden tree had to be felled. From 1961, the Sammenheim Water and Soil Association carried out a drainage project for the corridors of Stetten and Maicha. In 1964 Maicha was connected to the central water supply of the Wurmbacher group, which in turn obtained the drinking water from the Gnotzheim group. After the incorporation in 1971, the city of Gunzenhausen rebuilt the Stetten - Maicha road. Since 1978 a joint local spokesman for Stetten and Maicha has represented the interests of the former community in the Gunzenhausen city council.
