Fichtenberg is a municipality in the district of Schwäbisch Hall in the Franconian north-east of Baden-Württemberg .
geography
Geographical location
The municipality of Fichtenberg is located about 22 km south of the district town of Schwäbisch Hall in the natural area of the Swabian-Franconian Forest Mountains in the middle of the Swabian-Franconian Forest Nature Park at an altitude of 333 to 490 meters. The municipality begins a little above the left turn of the lower valley of the Rot , also called Fichtenberger Rot , and follows its subsequent course eastwards almost to the mouth. On both sides of the valley, there are also wide heights.
The second largest place in the municipality after the eponymous village is the hamlet of Mittelrot, also in the Rottal, about 2.5 km to the east. The other mostly small hamlets and detached houses are mostly distributed over the south-eastern part of the Mainhardt Forest that adjoins the north of the Rottal , the northernmost Welzheimer Forest , which begins at its southern edge, and the extreme east of the Murrhardt Forest on the western edge of the municipality. To the west, it extends over the watershed with the Schanze pass (approx. 410 m above sea level ) into the Mahdbach side valley of the Murr . The important state road 1066 connects the metropolitan area around Stuttgart with the north-eastern part of the country via the pass . The Schanz tunnel of the Waiblingen – Schwäbisch Hall-Hessental railway line runs under this traffic-obstructing ridge between the neighboring Murr and Rot valley systems .

Fichtenberg
By far the largest and eponymous village of the municipality, in which the municipal administration is also located, is located shortly after the bend in the Rot in the lowest, now east-running Rottal predominantly on the left side of the valley at about 340 m and above. In the village area, the Rot's fourth longest tributary, Diebach, runs from the left, its longest tributary Glattenzainbach from the right, and then a little downstream, its second longest tributary, Rauhenzainbach , from the right. The houses of the settlement core are built in front of the valley inlet of the Diebach, which flows through the village from the north into the Rot. Newer parts of the settlement stretch quite flat up the Diebachtal up to the dam of the flood retention basin Diebach , stand upstream of the Rottal at the southern foot of its upward spur Dendelberg ( 464 m ) or also across from the town center on the other side of the Rot in front of the spur between the valleys of Dappach and Glattenzainbach. The old village name Vichberg - see history - is probably related to the name of the Viehberg ( 472 m ) in the lower Diebach estuary .
At the beginning of the 2010s, Landesstraße 1066 , which previously crossed the Waiblingen – Schwäbisch Hall-Hessental railway line at ground level twice in the area of the village, was relocated continuously to the southern Rotufer, which removed a frequent source of congestion.
Dappach
The small hamlet with only three house numbers is located less than one and a half kilometers southwest of the center of Fichtenberg in the middle Dappach Valley at around 400 m at the beginning of the valley meadows. The settlement site is probably already old, because in 1338 there was evidence of a transfer of ownership of a property called Taubach at that time .
The stream
The hamlet with seven house numbers stands at under 370 m about half a kilometer north of the reservoir in the middle Diebachtal, loosely along the district road leading from Fichtenberg to Erlenbach and is a less old establishment.
Erlenhof
The hamlet, which at the time of the Oberamt description apparently belonged to the old community of Hausen an der Rot and was already mentioned in the 14th century as Erlenbach when it changed hands , stands along the district road mentioned here at Diebach at up to 490 m about two and a half kilometers north of the center of Fichtenberg village . Its almost five dozen house numbers make it the third largest place in the community. It is located in the middle of a mostly arable clearing on the plateau above the left side of the Rottal, which borders on a larger forest area in the north. In the south of it, a larger, open parcel spreads apart from it on the Viehberg to the edge of the valley slope.
Gehrhof
The Gehrhof is located at 490 m on the right slope of the Erlenbach , which, like its continuation, Michelbach, flows southeast to the eastern municipal border on the Rot. The hamlet with half a dozen house numbers is accessed by a cul-de-sac from Erlenhof, only about half a kilometer to the west; in the east it borders on the beginning of the valley slope forest. The settlement area was created around 1700 as a small farmer's place.
Hornberg and Hornberger Reute
The hamlet, which stands on a small open plateau at around 490 m and comprises a dozen house numbers, is located on the south-western edge of the municipality almost four kilometers from the center of Fichtenberg. The name probably comes from the nearby Hornberg ( 490 m ), the mountain spur above the large warped valley spider in which the upper Murr collects its tributaries near Fornsbach . The Hornberger Jägerhaus, which borders the edge of the hillside forest, also belongs to the hamlet, which was built in 1703.
On the upper slope down into the Gänsbach valley, the individual property Hornberger Reute stands at over 410 m in a narrow clearing with two house numbers.
Michelbächle and Kleehaus
Michelbächle is located on the other, northeastern edge of the municipality near the confluence of the Michelbach from the already mentioned Erlenbach and the right Schembach . The hamlet with a dozen house numbers, two and a half kilometers from Fichtenberg's center, is located at about 370 m in a wide hill corridor below the Lehberg (about 473 m ) in the mountain range of the Kirgelkamm . Already existed in 1338. Less than half a kilometer downhill, close to the confluence of the stream, is the Kleehaus individual estate at around 370 m .
Medium red
With over a hundred house numbers, Mittelrot is the second largest town in the municipality. The hamlet is about two kilometers from the center of the Fichtenberg village towards the east end of the district, with its older parts over 335 m on the left Rotufer and on the L 1066, which extends slightly above it. A newer settlement area extends further up the left slope. It has an old local church that is still in use. The hamlet probably belonged to Rötenberg Castle , which existed at the beginning of the 13th century or even earlier and can still be recognized today as a ruin with a sizable humpback square tower on the southern Rottal edge of the Turmberg ( 456 m ).
Opposite the village is the Reutehaus at about 355 m on the right lower slope of the Rottal under the Turmberg with the castle ruins, also known as the Röter Tower .
Plapphof
The hamlet of Plapphof, which has developed from a farm, is located with half a dozen house numbers at about 350 m about three kilometers west of Fichtenberg near the western boundary of the L 1066 and on the left lower slope of the Mahdbach valley. The latter is the uppermost part of the valley axis of the Murrtal valley that begins behind the Schanze pass ; there are two other districts of Fichtenberg here.
Rauhenzainbach
The hamlet, which consists of three individual properties, is named after the stream, in whose narrow and wooded valley it lies, about two kilometers south of the center of Fichtenberg and at about 370 m . Presumably founded around 1790.
Vorderlangert and Hinterlangert
The hamlet of Vorderlangert with over three dozen house numbers stands at an altitude of 480 m about two kilometers west-southwest of the Fichtenberg village center on a cleared plateau Langert south of the Schanze pass over into the Murr valley system. The village, which consists of separate groups of houses - the southern one bears the name Wasserhäuser - drains both over the Dappach to the Rot and the Mahdbach to the Murr. It was founded in 1709.
At the end of the clearing of heights shared with Vorderlangert, the hamlet of Hinterlangert, which was also laid out in 1709, stands with only three house numbers on the upper side of the slope under which the Seebach runs through the Fornsbacher Waldsee to Fornsbach and Murr.
Kronmühle
The Kronmühle stands at less than 340 m on the right bank of the outflowing Rot about one kilometer east of Fichtenberg, just before the mouth of the right Rauhenzainbach. As evidenced by a purchase, it existed at least in the 14th century.
Single property
The Buschhof stands on the left slope of the Diebach valley between Erlenhof and Diebach at about 410 m and is not a very old foundation. Erlenbach borders the large Haftelwald on the northern edge of the municipality , is only about 300 meters east of Erlenhof at about 445 m near the origin of the Haftelbrunnen of the eponymous water and is also a more recent establishment. Glattenzainbach is a single house on the southern border of the municipality in a valley direction of the forest stream of the same name at about 395 m and is in the immediate vicinity of the Murrhardt hamlet of Täle. It was probably created after 1790. The Retzenhof , two parts of the settlement with five house numbers, belongs to the part of the municipality on the other side of the Schanze in Mahdbachtal. It stands opposite the Plapphof on the northern slope of the valley at the lower tree line of the Harnersberg at about 375 m . The Rupphof , six house numbers, is up to 370 m near the mahdbach-side portal of the Schanz tunnel below the road pass over the hill. It was mentioned as Rupprechtshöflen as early as 1500 . The Stöckenhofer Sägmühle extends less than half a kilometer from the western edge of Fichtenberg at the left bend of the Rot on the right bank of the river to a little over 345 m over a larger operating area and borders the railway line and the red-side portal of the Schanz tunnel. Waldeck , formerly also called Stöckachhof and Stöckenhof , stands on the lower slope of the Dendelberg at about 365 m opposite the Sägmühle in the bend of the Rot. Name change to Waldeck after it was acquired by a nobleman of that name in the early 19th century who lived in a small castle here. Today a house with an outbuilding. The Wörbelhöfle or Winterhaus with four house numbers at about 375 m is located opposite the red upward settlement parts of Fichtenberg and the train station on the right lower slope of the Rottal.
Further detached houses in close proximity to these have already been mentioned in the previous ones.
