Geographical location

history

Rohrach probably had its own local nobility in the Middle Ages , whose castle stood on the Schloßberg above the nearby Fuchsmühle. Rohrach is mentioned early in a report by Abbot Adalbert of the Heidenheim Monastery around 1154/55; the monastery was owned by the manor house of Rohrach. Additional foundations by the monastery governors, the Counts of Truhendingen , were also made from their Rohrach property. The monastery bought, sold and exchanged rights and goods in Rohrach. So in 1282 two Huben zu Rohrach passed to Konrad von Muhr , and so in 1298 the monastery came into possession of the bailiff's rights over the Meierhof. Around 1400 the monastery was owned by the big tithe von Rohrach.

In 1533 the Catholic village became Protestant in the course of the implementation of the Reformation in the Margraviate of Ansbach and the secularization of the Heidenheim monastery . It was provided together with Degersheim from 1537 to 1570 by the provost office of Mariabrunn , then by the Protestant pastor of Heidenheim. The place was in the Frankish Reichskreis .

Rohrach belonged to the Ansbach Oberamt Hohentrüdingen until secularization ; in 1799 it had 16 subjects (families) there. In 1806 Rohrach became Bavarian and, together with Fuchsmühle, belonged to the Degersheim tax district in the Heidenheim district court . from which the rural community Degersheim grew in 1810. In 1828 Rohrach comprised 100 inhabitants in 20 families.

Rohrach in the Rohrachtal

In 1950 Rohrach had 128 inhabitants. In the 1960s the village was connected to the Gnotzheimer Wassergruppe. The community Degersheim was incorporated into Heidenheim on July 1, 1972 and thus came into the enlarged new district of Weißenburg in Bavaria, which was given the new name of the district of Weißenburg-Gunzenhausen on May 1, 1973 . Today the population is 51.
