Schwörsheim is a church village and part of the municipality of Munningen in the administrative community of Oettingen in Bavaria . The village is located in the Donau-Ries district in Bavaria, about 12 km northeast of Nördlingen .
history
The first mention of Schwörsheim is in a certificate from Emperor Friedrich I. Barbarossa as "Swenersee" (Swan Lake). The pond in the center of the village probably gave the settlement its name. This document was used as a book cover or cover sheet for centuries. Large areas of it have been eaten away by the woodworm and cut off. There are also more recent writing samples on it. It is unsightly and not dated. The exhibitor Friedrich I had been a Swabian Duke since 1147, German King from 1152 and Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire from 1155 until his death on June 10, 1190. He named himself as such in the certificate. As the abbot of the Kaisheim monastery, she names Ulrich, who probably died in 1157. Therefore, it certainly dates between 1155 and 1157 and, according to experts, belongs in a number of other confirmation documents that the emperor issued for various monasteries on February 21, 1156.
The time when the associated hamlet of Haid was founded is also unknown. The first reliable mention from 1307 does not provide any information about the time of origin. It can be assumed that Haid with its topographical place name (Heide) emerged in the 9th century as an extension of Megesheim .
On May 1, 1978, the previously independent Schwörsheim was incorporated into the community of Munningen.
The Schwörsheim potatoes are known in the Ries and far beyond. The loose sandy soil offers ideal conditions for cultivation. Potato cultivation is an important source of income for many small businesses in Schwörsheim. From this, business has also developed in the district of Schwörsheim. Several forwarding companies are based there.
Religions
Due to the division of the place between the two Oettingian lines, the village has had a Catholic and a Protestant half since the Reformation. Until the construction of its own Catholic church in the 1950s, St. Leonhard's Church was a simultaneous church.
Club life
There is a lively club life in Schwörsheim. In addition to the volunteer fire brigade, there is a sports club, a men's choir and a soldiers and warriors' association. The two denominations also have a lively community life with the trombone choir, the church choir and other groups.
dialect
Schwörsheim and Haid are linguistically located between three major tribal languages: Swabian (Wechingen: "noi"), Franconian (Westheim) and Bavarian (towards Wemding). In this transition and border area of these three dialects, the demarcation is so pronounced that almost every place has its own dialect type. Even if the dialect still holds up relatively well in the country, more and more High German speakers can also be found in the country, with locals increasingly trying to differentiate themselves from the rural population by raising their children with High German. In the vernacular, Schwörsheim is called "Schweschi".
Potato cultivation
Due to poor sandy soils and the strong fragmentation of the farm units, the small farmers in Schwörsheim were forced to increase their livelihood early on. For example, the "Waischrüben" have been grown on the harvested grain fields ("Waisch") since the Middle Ages and sold in the surrounding towns for the production of beet tops. This has been documented several times since 1622. Around 1750 the beetroot was replaced by the potatoes, which thrive very well on the Schwörsheim fields. The marketing concept with a horse-drawn carriage in surrounding, but also further afield, remained the same. The Schwörsheimer early potatoes are now known in the near and far. The people of Schwörsheim still sell their potatoes ("Erdbiro") by car in the surrounding towns.
