Oberbrunn is a district of the Upper Franconian market Ebensfeld in the Lichtenfels district .

geography

Oberbrunn is located on the Ober mains at the foot of a slope at the end of a small side valley through which the village moat flows. The place is located in the Banzgau , a long triangle between the Itz and the Main, south of Banz Monastery and is crossed by the LIF 25 district road from Ebensfeld to Birkach . The townscape is determined by the St. Laurentius church on the eastern edge of the village.

history

In the 9th century Oberbrunn was mentioned as "ce Brunnen" for the first time in the traditions of the Fulda Monastery , which are based on a copy in the Codex Eberhardi from the 12th century, as being in the possession of Fulda servants. The next mention was possibly 1126, when Herolt "de Brunnen" was mentioned in a document as a witness for the Banz monastery. The evidence for the 9th century and the year 1126 is questionable. The first reliable evidence comes from 1221. In the document, the Bamberg Bishop Ekbert confirmed that Heinrich von Schletten, among other things, returned the bailiwick “superioeris Brunnen et mansum unvm in ipsa uilla” to the Michelsberg monastery as a fief.

On the southwest edge of Oberbrunn there is a tower hill above the village . There stood the Liebenburg , first mentioned in 1268 , which was destroyed, among other things, in 1525 during the peasant war . The village rulers were held by the lords of the castle, the noble family of Giech from 1338 to 1680. In 1680 Christian Carl von Giech zu Thurnau and Buchau sold the manor to the Bamberg Bishop Peter Philipp . Oberbrunn was parishly separated from Döringstadt around 1454 and looked after by a Lutheran pastor from around 1550. From 1631 the parish was probably again catholic and subsequently re-parish in Döringstadt. At the beginning of the 19th century it was assigned to the church parish in Ebensfeld.

In 1801 the village was part of the Bamberg monastery area . The fiefdom, bailiwick, village and community rulership belonged to the Bamberg cathedral chapter . In addition to the church, the place had a community shepherd's house and 21 other houses, mostly with barns. Among them were an inn, a drip house and a brick hut.

In 1862, Oberbrunn was incorporated as a rural community into the newly created Bavarian District Office Staffelstein . On August 28, 1892, the inauguration of the first permanent bridge over the Main, an iron bridge with a clear width of 50 meters, replaced a ferry that was mentioned in Urbar A in the Episcopal-Bamberg area as early as 1323/28.

In 1871 the parish village of Oberbrunn had 164 residents and 26 residential buildings. A Catholic school was in the village, the Catholic parish church in Ebensfeld. In 1900 the place had 158 inhabitants, all of whom were Catholic, and 26 residential buildings and in 1925 159 people in 25 residential buildings. In 1950 Oberbrunn had 193 residents and 25 residential buildings. The responsible Protestant parish was in Staffelstein . In 1970 the parish had 216 inhabitants on an area of ​​233.86 hectares, and in 1987 a total of 204 inhabitants and 48 residential buildings with 68 apartments.

In 1959 the community had a new school house built, which has been used as a community center since the 1970s. On July 1, 1972, the Staffelstein district was dissolved and Oberbrunn was incorporated into the Lichtenfels district. Since then, Oberbrunn has belonged to Ebensfeld as a district.

Attractions

The Catholic branch church of St. Laurentius was built between 1743 and 1750 as a baroque building according to plans by Johann Jakob Michael Küchel by the master bricklayers Johann König and Johann Thomas Nißler from Staffelstein. Due to a lack of money, construction work on the church, which was expensive for the small village, was stopped in 1745. It is a hall with a retracted choir , behind the front wall of which is the sacristy. The nave with the hall is divided by two window axes. The western gable side is designed as a single tower facade. There, in a central risalit, is the entrance portal with a cartouche with the crowned coat of arms of Prince-Bishop Johann Philipp Anton von und zu Franckenstein . In the upper half of the facade is the bell storey of the roof turret.

The list of architectural monuments in Oberbrunn includes a further twelve sights.
