Ohrnbach, spelling partly Ohrenbach , is for the most part the market Weilbach belonging hamlet in the Lower Franconian district of Miltenberg .
geography
Ohrnbach is located in the Odenwald in the valley of the earliest brook on the district road MIL 6, between Vielbrunn and Wiesenthal , right on the border with the Odenwaldkreis ( Hesse ). A small part of the hamlet is on the Hessian side and belongs to Michelstadt . Rüdenau is located northeast of Ohrnbach . The place is almost at the end of the valley, which then closes steeply to the Odenwald ridge to Vielbrunn.
history
Originally, Ohrnbach was an independent village with several farms, most of which no longer exist today. It was first mentioned in 1266 as "Arenbach".
A teacher is named for 1724. Classes took place in farmhouses, in 1857 the schoolhouse was located next to the chapel , which was built in 1776 and demolished in 1895, and in 1873 in another farmhouse, now called the “Prinzenhaus”. The school was closed in 1882. Only from 1947 to 1950 was there a brief temporary school in the forester's house.
Ohrnbach had 152 inhabitants in 1803, in 1832 there were 26 residential buildings with 220 inhabitants; after 1850 most of the residents left their home village because the valley could no longer feed the people. In 1892, Ohrnbach was incorporated into Weckbach , and communal ownership fell to the Prince of Leiningen . Weckbach with Ohrnbach and Wiesenthal, which was dissolved and incorporated as a village in 1840, came to Weilbach in 1977. In 1950 there were only three residential buildings with 27 residents in the hamlet.
In 1997 a memorial was erected on the site of the former chapel. Today there is a golf course above the former village . Several circular hiking trails are marked from the inn below the same . One of them leads past a presumably Roman building, the Ohrbacher Schanze , of which it is not clear in what position it is in relation to the Odenwald Limes or to the later “wet Limes ” on the Main - the Upper Germanic-Raetian Limes .
