Nagelsberg is a district of the town of Künzelsau in the Hohenlohe district in northeastern Baden-Württemberg with 530 inhabitants.

location

The village center of Nagelsberg is located about one and a half kilometers northwest of the city center, almost on the western edge of the city limits of Künzelsau, where the lower Deubach in its valley meets the Kocher, which flows here west-northwest . The village lies on the fairly flat middle slope in a narrow strip around the upward spur of the mouth, above a small forest on the lower steep slope, at the foot of which, coming from the Künzelsau core town up to Kocher, the federal road 19 runs up into the side valley. At the bottom of the spur is the former castle. Opposite it, on the other side of the Deubach, remains of the Zarge ruin on the lower slope of the downward Zargenberg estuary .

A newer quarter joins up the stove on the aforementioned flat land platform. A feeder road follows the B 19 on the right, into which it joins in both valleys.

Early history

The Mainzerhaus

Archaeological finds suggest that the area was settled in the Bronze Age and later Hallstatt . Excavation work on the site of today's Kocherwiesen industrial area in 1937 found a fireplace, shards and parts of a melting pot, which are dated to the Hallstatt period (900–500 BC). Around the year 400 BC Celts penetrated the Kocher valley, and the names of the rivers and streams, such as Kocher , Jagst , Tauber and Deubach, testify to their conquest . After that, the Romans settled here in the foothills of the Upper Germanic-Raetian Limes and the Alemanni around 260 AD . Grave finds give clues to Alemannic places of residence.

middle Ages

The name Nagelsberg may come from the Old High German family name Nagil (Nagels). More likely, however, is the derivation from the name of a founder Agil or Agiolf or from the Germanic Aggo . Nagelsberg was first mentioned in a document in 1096 when a Mechthild gave all of her possessions, including Nagelsberg, to Comburg . In 1230 Nagelsberg was mentioned in a document as the property of Count Gottfried and Cunrad von Hohenlohe. In 1324 and in the period that followed, the Counts of Hohenlohe fought with Comburg over possession of Nagelsberg Castle. The share of the noble von Rosenberg in Nagelsberg castle and village came to the Archbishopric Mainz in 1361 and a truce was decided on Nagelsberg . When in 1492 Kraft von Hohenlohe ceded its shares in the village of Nagelsberg against the Electoral Mainz shares in Neufels, Nagelsberg became Mainz.

Modern times

The chapel was built in 1516. Before the Reformation, Nagelsberg was part of the parish of Künzelsau , and a church was built in 1607. In 1626, Nagelsberg received his first pastor, Andreas Otto, and a school the following year. The church registers also began that year . In the Thirty Years' War Nagelberg was occupied in 1632 by Sweden. In 1634 the place came back to Mainz after the battle of Nördlingen .

In 1802 Nagelsberg was assigned to Prince Friedrich Ludwig von Hohenlohe-Ingelfingen , who then sold Nagelsberg Castle to Jewish families in 1803. Until 1907 there was a Jewish community in the village , the origins of which go back to the 16th century. At that time there existed a mikveh , a Jewish ritual bath, that here "was built directly on a rock, gushed the spring water out of his heart." 1806 the place was the under the sovereignty of the Kingdom of Württemberg , it 1809 the Wurttemberg Oberamt Ingelfingen allotted . The incorporation into the city of Künzelsau took place in 1937. In 1971 a new church was built and in 1974 the Ganerbe high school was built in Gewann Loch .
