Rohrbach (Grub am Forst)
Rohrbach is a district of the municipality of Grub am Forst in the Coburg district in Bavaria .
General
Rohrbach has 260 inhabitants. The district is located north of Grub am Forst and Ebersdorf bei Coburg between an elevation in the north, the Lahmwald, and the foothills of the Lichtenfels and Bucher forests in the south.
The village got its name from the small brook that rises north of the "Schrötla", a deciduous forest on the former footpath to Lützelbuch, and flows through Rohrbach. The brook was mentioned in an old boundary description of the Lichtenfels forest from the 9th century.
Christian Scheler bears the unofficial title of mayor, who made a contribution to the townscape in spring 2014 with the renovation of the town hall. The town hall is opposite the pond with the frog fountain, which was won in the competition The more beautiful village .
history
The name of the village is recorded for the first time in a Neustadt hereditary book from 1317, which also contains the first document about Rohrbach. The year 1329 is noted: “The Füllbacher brothers give the Sonnefeld monastery four estates in Kleingarnstadt, three farms in Oberfüllbach, as well as all of their estates in Rohrbach and Tenneich”. The village of Tenneich was between Oberfüllbach and Kleingarnstadt and was probably devastated in the 15th century. The field names Tännig or Dähnig are still reminiscent of Tenneich. In the Großgarnstadt school files there is also the name "Dähnigbrünnlein" for one of the Füllbach springs.
In 1349, Countess Jutta von Henneberg gave the Sonnefeld monastery bailiff over the village of Rohrbach. In 1366, Sonnefeld added another property to his Rohrbach property, which it bought from Rüdiger von Rohrbach. There is no inheritance book from that time, so the further fate of these goods is unclear.
The oldest Sonnefeld inheritance book dates back to 1514. There are seven properties indicated, which were subject to a tenancy fee for the Sonnefeld monastery . In the Rohrbacher Flur only the so-called Baumacker was ten free.
This inheritance book also contains information on the amount of the taxes. For example, it says:
"Georg Knoch gives out of the four inherited estates that were previously Claus Geußen: 5 Libra national currency, 16 cheeses, one shock and ten eggs, four carnival chickens ".
A guilder and a penny had to be paid for the same property in 1646. The value of the property at that time was 50 guilders.
After the secularization of the Sonnefeld monastery in 1525, Rohrbach and other possessions became part of the Electoral Saxony . Later it fell to the Care Department of Coburg and, after the death of Duke Albrecht in 1705, to Sachsen-Hildburghausen .
The village suffered badly from the wandering troops of the Thirty Years' War. Wallenstein's soldiers, in particular, plundered and pillaged the village during the siege of Coburg Fortress . When the inhabitants, who had fled into the Lahmwald, returned, they found only ruins and empty stables. The plague also raged in the community. In 1656 the inhabitants were exposed to a new threat and plague from wolves and bears. Several of these animals were slain in the cold winter of that year.
With the repatriation of the Sonnefeld office in 1826, Rohrbach also returned to Coburg.
At the end of the 18th century the village was not half as big as it is today. In 1719 there were 19 houses, which were also mentioned in 1753. In 1793 there were already 22 fireplaces. In 1793, Faber described Rohrbach as “a village with 90 souls, also adequate cattle breeding and harnessing, an official school, pastor to Großgarnstadt (since 1840 to Seidmannsdorf), looking forward to Coburg, but has no forest or other wood justice”.
The Fron was replaced by the Frohnviertel Wasungen and Frohnlach in 1804 for 16,000 guilders. Rohrbach had to contribute 2,005 guilders. According to the Rohrbacher Urbarium of 1820, the village consisted of 26 houses. These were properties No. 1 to No. 26. These included 12 estates, 7 Sölden and 7 drip houses . The latter were without real estate.
In 1820 Rohrbach only had 50 Sümmern Hundshaber to deliver to Coburg. The mayor received a small fee for collecting it. The office of Sonnefeld was entitled to the grain tithe. This also related to the blood tithe. This tithe obligation existed until December 31, 1851 and was replaced by the capital tax.
Rohrbach got the bar very late. In earlier times the Rohrbachers had to go to the next village to drink beer. In 1780 the Rohrbachers were able to visit their village inn for the first time. This inn is located in house no. 4 (Olympiastraße 12) and has belonged to the Schreiner family for generations. Rohrbach, however, had neither the brewing nor the distilling justice. Many drank their home-made wine before the pub opened. The farmers had their vineyards on Ziegenrangen, the slope that stretches from Seidmannsdorfer Straße to the village.
Especially in the years after the Second World War, the village experienced a significant spatial expansion. Numerous new residential buildings joined the farms and houses of the workers. The integration of the expellees went smoothly.
On April 1, 1971 Rohrbach was incorporated into Grub am Forst.
