Maisbach is a district of Nussloch in the Rhein-Neckar district , about 12 km south of Heidelberg .

geography

location

The place is located in a narrow valley that extends in a north-west-south-east direction. Maisbach has a share in two natural areas. The foothills of the Little Odenwald can be found in the north and west . In the south as in the east the Kraichgau hill country joins. The Maisbach, which gives it its name, flows through the Maisbachtal. It rises at the northeast end of the village, not far from the forest road and joins the Daisbach in the Maisbacher Tal. Both flow into the Gauangelbach on the northern outskirts of Baiertal , not far from the Hohenhardter Hof golf club .

In the Maisbachtal there is mainly grassland cultivation. The extensive, moist meadows are ideal for free-range cattle and horses. Maisbach is directly connected to the communities of Nussloch and Ochsenbach via the 4157 district road. The road is closed to heavy traffic all year round. Another traffic connection is via the K 4158 (formerly Schatthäuser Weg, today Baiertaler Straße). It branches off in the center of Maisbach in the direction of Baiertal .

history

Maisbach (once Musebach, Maisbacher Hof) was first mentioned in a document in 1256 as a small, rural clustered village. In the following years 1369, 1475, 1480 and 1504 there is evidence that the village belongs to the Meckesheimer Zent (= historical administrative unit for law and tax). In 1346 Count Palatine Ruprecht I relocated the district court from Meckesheim to Neckargemünd . That is why some sources also speak of the Neckargemünder Zent.

Due to the serious events of the Thirty Years War (1618–1648), Maisbach was totally depopulated for several years. After the Peace of Westphalia in 1648 and a brief recovery phase, the War of the Palatinate Succession (1685–1697) again caused great suffering and death in the region around Heidelberg. Under the administration of the Electorate of the Palatinate, it was merged with the neighboring community of Ochsenbach (Leimen) in 1780 , which lasted until 1937. Then Maisbach was incorporated into the municipality of Nussloch as part of an administrative reform. The ordinance from the Third Reich is still valid today.

With the founding of the Confederation of the Rhine in 1803 by Napoleon, the community became Baden. In these turbulent times, a Maisbach farmer made a name for himself. Johann Adam Müller , a native of Meckesheim, who moved to Maisbach after his marriage, became widely known for his phrophetic predictions of political events and developments. The Heidelberg writer Irma von Drygalski paid tribute to the Maisbach citizen in her novel The Peasant Prophet in 1928 . Based on the novel, the folk play was premiered in 1994 by the "Bauernpropheten" in Nussloch. Due to its success, a new edition took place in 1996. In 1986 the Maisbacher Dorfplatz with its fountain and milk house was converted into a memorial and named after Johann Adam Müller.

Economy and Infrastructure

School, church

School lessons took place in Maisbach from 1844 - presumably due to the poor transport connections to the neighboring communities. Since there was no school building of its own in the village, a classroom was initially rented. In 1871 the community on the "Krixenrain" bought a piece of land as a building site for a school building. Was when the building in 1873 inaugurated, rang from the roof turret tower two bronze bells that had been donated by a farmer Johann Georg Sickmüller under the condition that the schoolhouse at the same time the lack of church replaced and the classrooms may be used as a prayer room. Since then, church services in Maisbach have been held in the schoolhouse. Until 1966, classes 1–8 were taught together in one room in the school building. Then school attendance was moved to Nussloch. A tower clock was installed and the bells were electrified in 1979.

guest houses

In 1951 Georg Hessenauer opened the Gasthaus Zum Maisbacher Tal on his estate on Baiertaler Straße . So that the residents of Maisbach do not have to buy their household goods and groceries out of town, he added a small shop to the inn. Both this inn and two other restaurants in Maisbach no longer exist today.

economy

To this day, Maisbach is predominantly agricultural, with cattle breeding and pasture farming being the main focus.
