Oberhambach

location

The village is located on the upper reaches of the Hambach , a left tributary of the Wurmbach , west of the southern Altmühlsee and west of the district road WUG 24 , from which a local road branches off to the place, which continues to Kleinlellenfeld . Oberhambach is 5.2 km away from Gunzenhausen. The landscape of the village lies on the edge of the largest contiguous wooded area in Middle Franconia, the heather. The Hambach , a left tributary of the Wurmbach, flows through it.

Place name

The place name, which in its older form reads "Obern habenbach", can be interpreted as a settlement of a Habo on the brook; the word "upper" refers to the upper course of the stream. Another interpretation speaks of a settlement on the Habernbach, on the brook, where wild oats grow.

history

Oldest mentions

A Salbuch of the Herrieden Abbey from 1288 lists two fiefdoms in “habenbach”. A document from around 1300 to 1364 reports that the Bishop of Eichstätt gives two estates at "habenpach", probably Oberhambach, to the Schenk von Arberg as a fief. An Eichstätter fief book, which was created in 1384, shows that Rüdiger Schenk von Arberg has a fiefdom for 1 house from the Bishop of Eichstätt in “Obern habenbach”. According to this fief book, Hans von Cronheim also had an episcopal estate in “Obern Hapenbach” as a fief.

15th to 18th century

1407 it is reported that 3 whole and 1 half estate at "habenbach" have to pay taxes to the episcopal office of Arberg- Ornbau . In the middle of the 15th century, Wilhelm von Cronheim held an episcopal fief in "Obern habenpach". In the 2nd half of the 15th century "Obrenhabenbach" is referred to as belonging to the parish of Lellenfeld . In 1465 Hans von Cronheim and in 1497 Martin von Cronheim held 1 fiefdom in “Oberhabenpach”; those from Cronheim are attested several times as episcopal fiefdoms in Oberhambach. In 1514 1 Gut zu "Obernhabenpach" pays taxes to the Knights of Eyb on Gut Sommersdorf . Around 1525 donations were made from several Reutwiesen to the margravial office of Wald and from 4 Hintersassen “zu habenbach” to the episcopal office of Ornbau, which remained unaffected by the Reformation . However, (Ober-) Hambach farmers also took part in the peasant uprisings that were put down in the region on May 7, 1525. In 1560 the Cronheim family died out with Hans Georg von Cronheim; Matthias von Leonrod, who is married to his widow Barbara, is now the episcopal fiefdom owner in “Oberhabenbach”, and in 1580 Sebastian the Younger Neustetter (also Neustätter), known as Stürmer , son-in-law and heir to Barbara. In 1595 he sold the heir Cronheim Castle, including his subjects to "Vnter vnd Ober habenbach", to his brother-in-law Friedrich von Eyb zu Eybburg .

In 1616 3 goods in the hamlet belong to the Ansbachisch-Margräflichen Vogtamt Merkendorf . Six years later, the Eichstätter Bishop acquired 5 "teams" for the bishopric, ie subjects in Oberhabenbach. In 1628 the Eichstätter Bishop gives 1 fiefdom to "Oberhabenbach" to Count Nikolaus Fugger von Nordendorf . In 1665 the place consists of 8 subjects, 2 each to the Merkendorf office and 2 to the Rieter von Kornburg (Maria Blandina von Eyb brought this to the Rieter family in 1616 as a marriage property). 4 subjects belonged to the Arberg-Ornbau office in Eichstätt, which also ruled the municipality. With the Thirty Years War the Eichstätter Bishop lost 1 subject property in Oberhambach and in 1665 only had 3 subjects in the village. In 1698 the subjects of Kornburg were sold to the margrave city bailiff Johann Georg Melführer zu Gunzenhausen.

In 1732 the landlord's ownership structure is given as follows: 2 subjects are subject to the Gunzenhausen caste office, 3 subjects to the Merkendorf office, 4 subjects to the Ornbau office; there is also 1 ( valid-free ) shepherd's house. Those of the Protestant faith belong to the parish of Wald, the Catholics to the parish of Großlellenfeld ; the latter also receives Oberhambach's large and small tithe . The bailiwick and the high jurisdiction lie with the Margravial Oberamt Gunzenhausen; the margraves had already come to an understanding with the Eichstätter bishop in 1537 about the course of their high court area. whereas habenbach was detached by high court from the episcopal office Arberg-Ornbau in favor of the margraves.

From Prussia to Bavaria

In 1792 the village and the principality of Brandenburg-Ansbach became Prussian , but this did not change the manorial conditions. In 1801 five of the nine subjects of Oberhabenbach / Oberhambach were Ansbachian and four were Eichstättisch, the latter including the municipal authority belonging to the Arberg-Ornbau care and caste office. As a result of the secularization of the Eichstätt Hochstift, the 4 Eichstättischen estates of Oberhambach became Bavarian in November 1802, but Bavaria exchanged them with Prussia. Four years later, on January 1, 1806, the place finally became Bavarian. From 1808 he formed a tax community with Streudorf and the hamlet of Höhberg in the tax district of Wald in the district court and rent office district of Gunzenhausen. In 1811 the three places belonged to the rural community of Wald.

During the next municipal reform in 1818, Oberhambach, Höhberg and Streudorf were detached from the forest and now formed an independent rural municipality in the new Gunzenhausen district office (formed from the Gunzenhausen and Heidenheim district courts) of the also new Rezatkreis , which was renamed Central Franconia on January 1, 1838 . In 1820 the village consisted of 11 “fire places” (households). In 1846 there were 10 houses with 10 families and 53 “souls” in the “Catholic hamlet of Oberhambach”. This changed little in the 20th century: in 1950 there were 66 people in 12 properties.

In 1937 the local leader of Oberhambach named Roth was deposed after a denunciation as an "incorrigible traitor"; he had given a Jew a wagon of firewood. The local council of Streudorf initially rejected the party comrade proposed by the NSDAP as a successor and tried to appoint another Oberhambacher as local guide; but one had to give in, as there was a threat to abolish the local guide for Oberhambach altogether.

Located in the district court or from 1939 in the district of Gunzenhausen , the previously independent municipality of Streudorf with Höhberg and Oberhambach was incorporated into Gunzenhausen on April 1, 1971 as part of the regional reform in Bavaria and thus came to the new district of Weißenburg- Gunzenhausen, initially under the name of the Weißenburg district in Bavaria .

In 1961 there were 44 inhabitants in the 11 residential buildings in Oberhambach. In 1964 the Streudorf - Oberhambach connection road was expanded.

Others
