history

Due to the ending -heim , the foundation of Nenzenheim can be dated to the 6th or 7th century. The place was settled in the course of the Frankish conquest. It was first mentioned in a document in 1158. Changing rulers shaped the village. The Lords of Hohenlohe, the Counts of Castell , the Lords of Seinsheim / Schwarzenberg , von Hutten and the Margraves of Ansbach were wealthy in Nenzenheim.

For a long time Nenzenheim and seven other villages had a share in the so-called Kunigunden Forest , which was administered in the form of a market cooperative . This form of administration was only dissolved in 1458.

In Nenzenheim (at that time still in the former Scheinfeld district ), as a public reaction to the execution of Albert Leo Schlageter on May 26, 1923, on June 10 (the day of the funeral in Munich) a rally with 3,000 participants took place, the later being from Lower Franconia Gauleiter Otto Hellmuth held a funeral speech for the spy and assassin who had been elevated to a national socialist cult figure.

At the beginning of the 19th century, Nenzenheim had become a Bavarian rural community , and in 1972 it was part of the newly founded large community of Iphofen.

The church in Nenzenheim

→ Main articles : Evangelical Church (Nenzenheim)  and Nenzenheim Fortified Church

The Protestant parish church was built in its current form in 1946 after the destruction in the Second World War . Remnants of the previous building from 1910 and the original, baroque complex from the 18th century have been preserved. The interior was also created in the 1950s. A resurrection group by the Munich artist Gollwitzer fills the chancel today.

A fortified church surrounds the church. It was built in the late Middle Ages and has an almost right-angled floor plan. In the northwest of the complex is the former town hall of the community from 1544. In the cemetery some gravestones from the 18th and 19th centuries have been preserved. Several earth cellars from the 19th century are in the village.

legend

A small spring rises near Nenzenheim, on the so-called Riedäckern . It flows to the Hirtenbach . In the past three mermaids rose from the spring. They came to dance in Nenzenheim once a year. However, they always had to leave the event before midnight. But once the boys from the village stopped them at the dance even after midnight .

The three mermaids then said they would never be able to return. They are doomed to die for not returning at the appointed time. The boys didn't believe them and accompanied them to the source. As the girls plunged into the spring, suddenly a red beam shot into the sky. It was the blood of the mermaids. After that, the three were never seen again in Nenzenheim.
