history

"Reggenhofen" was first mentioned in a document in 1285, when Konrad Kropf von Kipfenberg transferred a farm to the Seligenporten monastery . In 1359 the lords of Wolfstein zu Sulzbürg were wealthy in Röckenhofen. In 1398, Sweiker (Schweiger) von Gundelfing [en] sold the large and small tithes of "Reckenhofen" from Hippolyt von Stein to the Eichstätter Bishop Friedrich IV. Count of Oettingen . In 1418 the Lords of Absberg sold two farms in Röckenhofen to a Nuremberg citizen. Leonhard 1419 was the Absberger to Rumburg with the Tafern- (Schankrecht) and Kirchtag rights (Markets) in skirts Hofen and Herrnsberg as well as the Smith Instead of Herrnsberg belehnt ; the heirs of Erasmus Absberger still owned the fiefs in 1555. In 1447 Herrnsberg and Röckenhofen are recorded in the ointment book of the high judiciary in Greding and in the interest book of the episcopal superior office in Hirschberg . The Salbuch of the Jettenhofen rule from 1491 lists fiefs and those liable for interest in Herrnsberg and Röckenhofen, among others. The Eichstätter Hofmeister Hieronymus von Rosenberg , who died in 1507 and who sat at Jettenhofen Castle , bequeathed "a lot of interest" to the bishopric in Greding, Herrnsberg and Röckenhofen, so he was wealthy there. In 1520, the Eichstatt Bishop Gabriel von Eyb acquired goods and people from Hans Roßthaler zu Staufersbuch in Röckenhofen and Herrnsberg with the bailiwick and court. In 1551 the Margrave of Ansbach exchanged his tithe from Röckenhofen with that of Weinberg from the Hochstift Eichstätt. When the property of Röckenhofen's church caretaker burned down in 1564, all the registers of the church were destroyed. In 1706, the early measuring house is said to have been "deserted". For 1685 and 1728 one of is Mesner guided winter angle school mentioned. In 1735, in fulfillment of a vow due to contagious diseases, the place built "in addition to the village a figure ... unlocked, without an altar and an offering box with a picture."

At the end of the Old Kingdom , Röckenhofen consisted of 45 subject properties and the church as a branch of Greding. Most of the properties, 34, belonged to the high estates judge's office in Greding, seven properties to the high estates' caste office in Jettenhofen , one property to the provost's office in Berching , one property to the cathedral chapter of Eichstätt and two properties, the Breitenstein fiefdom, the imperial city of Nuremberg . The high judiciary and the rule of the village and community were rights of the judiciary in Greding.

After the bishopric of Eichstätt had been dissolved in the course of secularization in Bavaria , the community of Röckenhofen, which consisted only of the town itself, came to Grand Duke Archduke Ferdinand III with the former bishopric in 1802 . from Tuscany and 1805/06 to the new Kingdom of Bavaria and there to the regional court of Beilngries . The Röckenhofen tax district was formed there in 1809 with Herrnsberg , which in 1811 became the Röckenhofen rural community . With the community edict of 1818, Herrnsberg was detached from the community of Röckenhofen. The Röckenhofen community, restored in its original form, was still assigned to the Beilngries district court until it was attached to the nearby Greding district court on October 1, 1857 .

In 1846 it was reported that Röckenhofen consisted of 49 houses that were inhabited by 58 families. In addition to the farmers, “1 host, 1 shopkeeper, 1 butcher, 2 tailors, 1 shoemaker” worked in the village. In 1875 the village had 238 inhabitants with a herd of 26 horses, 233 cattle, 342 sheep, 89 pigs and nine goats. At that time the children went to the local Catholic school.

After the Second World War, the population temporarily rose to over 300 due to refugees and displaced persons. As part of the regional reform in Bavaria , Röckenhofen joined the city of Greding on January 1, 1972.

Water supply

Source of quarrel

The water supply in the Jura and especially on the Alb plateau was problematic for centuries. In Röckenhofen, until 1912, the water for the cattle was obtained partly from mixed wells (groundwater and rainwater mixture) and partly from cisterns in which the rainwater was collected from the roofs. In addition, there was a village shell until 1966, which was fed by surface water, but which dried up every now and then, in the summer of 1947, despite a depth of 2.5 meters. There was also water for the cattle at the double-armed Kuhbach spring in the front Kuhbachtal, while the drinking water for the villagers was obtained from the Zankel spring in the rear area of ​​the Kuhbachtal.

In order to achieve a reasonably safe and hygienically better water supply, in 1911/12 Viehhausen was the highest of the five villages Viehhausen (568 meters above sea level), Kleinnottersdorf (545 meters above sea level), Röckenhofen (537 meters above sea level), Österberg (564 meters) NHN) and Stierbaum (565 meters above sea ​​level) built a water tower. The five villages shared the accommodation and supply of around 200 workers who were constantly involved in the construction. The elevated tank of the tower took 40 cubic meters of water, which was pumped there from the three contained springs from Kleinnottersdorf. A total of five cubic meters of water per hour were available for the five participating villages in the Kleinnottersdorfer Group, hardly sufficient in midsummer when there was a noticeable decline in the source capacity and a simultaneous increase in water demand.

In 1980 Röckenhofen joined the Jura-Schwarzach-Thalach water supply group.

The Kuhbachtal directly adjacent to Röckenhofen is designated as a nature reserve.

Catholic parish church of St. Giles

Röckenhofen, a branch of Greding, was parish of Röckenhofen from Greding in 1922/23 with Herrnsberg; In 1921 a rectory was built. The church is a fortified church . In 1422, at the foundation of the Middle Mass at the Sebastianskapelle (above the Karner ) von Greding, the clergyman there was obliged to celebrate in Röckenhofen once a week and on Sundays and public holidays. In 1746 the church, built in 1692/93 by Jakob Engel from Eichstätt, was enlarged to 13 × 9 meters according to plans by the court sculptor Matthias Seybold . The stucco ceiling and the stucco pulpit were made by Franz Horneis in 1747, the ceiling and gallery parapet paintings by Hugo Ernst Murmann . The consecration took place on May 13, 1770 . In 1860 the tower was given a new tower with a pyramid roof, beveled at the corners, above the Gothic basement. In 1907 the church was restored by the painter Pfleiderer (Munich) and the barrel painter Martin Bengl (Obermässing). In 1937/38 there was an "old" organ made by Eichstätter organ builder Bittner in the church; Two bells from 1786 and 1873 hung in the tower. Altar, ambo and sedile were designed in 2005 by the sculptor Konrad Risch from Kaldorf.

In 1980/81, the medieval churchyard fortifications with the gate tower, which also has a gable roof between the stepped gables, were renovated all around, but only in full height in the south. There is a Catholic kindergarten.

A chapel near Röckenhofen is mentioned for 1855 (probably the one built in 1735), when a picture of the Savior painted on wood was attached to it. It stands on the northern edge of the village. In 1902 the community built a field chapel on the road to Greding. Röckenhofen thus owned two corridor processional chapels around 1937/38 . The parish church and the two chapels are considered architectural monuments.
