description

Reichenbach is a hamlet with approx. 100 inhabitants surrounded by a patch of orchards on the valley slopes. A fairly flat corridor of mostly grassland lies above the valley basin. From east-north-east to west-southwest surrounds the place in a wide arc a third ring of scattered settlement farms.

The former Reichenbach schoolhouse, which was also used as a kindergarten from 1980 to 2005, is now the parish hall. Another part of Reichenbach is the St. Ottmars Chapel, which is located just outside the north-eastern outskirts.

Associations in the village are the Liederkranz Reichenbach 1922 e. V. and the MSC Reichenbach.

history

The first mention in a written source comes from the year 1331: "the half zehndt zue Reichenbach".

In the Middle Ages, most of the goods in Reichenbach were fiefdoms from Ellwangen .

After Reichenbach came from the imperial city of Schwäbisch Gmünd to Württemberg in 1802, it was added to the Aalen District Office along with the Dewangen mayor and, according to the directory, had 218 inhabitants in 1803.

traffic

In the valley of the Laubach, the K 3240 runs from the L 1080 Dewangen– Essingen in the east to the Laubach estuary in the neighboring community of Abtsgmünd . It is crossed at an acute angle in the middle of the village by the K 3239 Dewangen- Heuchlingen . Roads of minor importance open up the nearby courtyards from the east-northeast to the southwest.
