history

First mention

Mooskorb, a clearing settlement in the course of the Franconian expansion of the country in the 8th century, was first mentioned in 1298, when the Eichstätter Bishop Konrad determined income in "Marscorp" for the monastery Heidenheim .

14th to 17th centuries

In the 14th century a local nobleman von Wald, the son of Berthold von Wald, held a hat to "Marsceph" from the Bishop of Eichstätt. When the von Oettingen found an early mass in Gnotzheim in the same century , income from a fiefdom and a small item from "Moßkorb" was also included. In the 15th century it is said that "Moskorb" belongs to the parish of Wald, which joined the Reformation in the 16th century . In 1471 the dominion forest, a fiefdom of the Brandenburg-Ansbach margraves , received taxes from "Moßkorp" from 6 Zinsern. 6 goods belonging to Mooskorb belong to the Brandenburg-Ansbach Office of Forest around 1525, other goods are owned by other landlords: 1 subject has to pay interest to the Teutonic Order in Ellingen , 2 subjects and 1 desolate property belong to two lines from Lentersheim and 2 subjects and 1 desolate estate are the property of the Counts of Oettingen . A Gunzenhausen Salbuch from 1532 states that the Margraves of Brandenburg-Ansbach have high and low jurisdiction over the village; 6 goods continue to interest the forest office, 7 to foreign rulers.

In 1608 it is reported that the village "Waldt" consists of four "spots", namely the forest itself and the hamlets "Moßkorb", Schweina and Steinenpühl . Two years later, Margrave Joachim Ernst gives “Ämptlein und Schlößlein Waldt” with all accessories to Wolf Christoph von Lentersheim; this also includes 7 goods for "Moscorb". The entire ownership of the forest and thus also the Moosbach farms passed to Ludwig von Zocha , in 1624 as a Brandenburg fief, initially on a Leibgeding basis and in 1626 as an inheritable knight's fief .

From the 18th century to the present

A century later, in 1732, 1 subject was paid to the Margravial Kastenamt Gunzenhausen, 2 to von Lentersheim, 1 to the Bechhofen Vogtamt , 3 to Oettingen-Spielberg and 8 to von Zocha; the tithe went to the parish of Wald, while the authority of the municipality is exercised by the Ansbach Oberamt Gunzenhausen. When the von Zocha family died out, in 1749 the “Wilde Margrave” Carl Wilhelm Friedrich enfeoffed the Friedrich Ferdinand Ludwig Freiherr von Falkenhausen , who had been ennobled at his request, with the manor forest and thus also with the subjects in moss basket.

In 1792 the village with the principality of Brandenburg-Ansbach became Prussian , but this did not change the landlord's conditions.

In 1802 it is reported that "Moßkorb" has 15 subjects, two of whom belong to Gunzenhausen and 12 are "foreigners". Of the latter, despite the border adjustment agreement between Oettingen and Prussia, three subjects are even listed in Oetting's tax books until 1805.

On January 1, 1806, Mooskorb became Bavarian with the now former Prussian Principality of Ansbach as a result of the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss . The municipality of Wald mit Mooskorb, Schweina and Steinabühl belonged to the new Rezatkreis from 1808 first as a tax district , then in 1818 as a rural municipality , which was renamed the Central Franconia administrative district in 1838 .

Two von Mooskorb families are subordinate to the Patrimonial Court of those von Lentersheim in Altenmuhr until 1822 , nine from 1820 to 1838 and 1848 to the Patrimonial Court of Wald-Lauffenbürg; then the lower jurisdiction of the nobles goes to Bavaria. In 1829 17 families with a total of 73 people lived in Mooskorb. In 1846 there are 16 families with 69 “souls”. A century later, in 1950, moss basket has grown to 19 families with 98 people. In 1961 there were 81 people in Mooskorb's 19 residential buildings.

Initially located in the district court / district office (from 1939 district) Gunzenhausen, the previously independent four-patch municipality of Wald was incorporated into Gunzenhausen on April 1, 1971 as part of the regional reform in Bavaria and came to the new Weißenburg-Gunzenhausen district on July 1, 1972, initially under the name of Weißenburg district in Bavaria . In 1987 there were 73 inhabitants.
