history

middle Ages

Schwabbach was first mentioned in a document in 1037 as Suabbach . The place was subordinate to the Lords of Weinsberg , who pledged it with other parts of their rule to the Electoral Palatinate in 1423 and finally sold it to them in 1446. In 1449, Schwabbach was sacked by the Heilbronners during the city ​​war . Due to the consequences of the Bavarian-Palatinate War of Succession , the place came to Württemberg in 1504 . The property on site was severely fragmented. In addition to the respective rulers, whose share of real estate was always only small, the Öhringen monastery, the Lichtenstern monastery , the Hohenlohe house , the Ganerbe von Maienfels , the Eschenau rulership, the Schöntal monastery and other possessions. In the Peasants' War in 1525, Schwabbach farmers took part in the successful assault on Weinsberg under the leadership of their mayor Dionysius Schmid . The place was dominated by agriculture , also viticulture has been documented since 1528 and is still an important economic factor of the place today.

Modern times

Schwabbach was a staff school within the Weinsberg Office, which was also subordinate to the neighboring town of Siebeneich until 1837 .

After the dissolution of the Oberamt Weinsberg in 1926, Schwabbach came to the Oberamt Öhringen (from 1938: Landkreis Öhringen ).

The district reform in 1973 assigned the place to the new Hohenlohe district. On January 1, 1975, Adolzfurt , Bitzfeld , Bretzfeld , Dimbach , Geddelsbach , Scheppach , Schwabbach, Siebeneich , Unterheimbach and Waldbach merged to form the new municipality of Bretzfeld.

religion

In church terms, Schwabbach was a branch of Sülzbach until 1481 . In the associated place Siebeneich a chaplain formed, which initially belonged to Waldbach. In 1481 it was assigned to the newly established Schwabbach parish. Today's evangelical parish Schwabbach comprises the districts of Schwabbach and Siebeneich of the parish of Bretzfeld and belongs to the Weinsberg-Neuenstadt church district of the Evangelical Church in Württemberg .

The Catholic parish, which has only emerged since 1945 with the influx of displaced persons from traditionally Catholic countries, is parish in Wimmental .

coat of arms

The blazon of the former municipal coat of arms reads: Under a golden shield head, inside a black stag pole, in black a golden star.

Attractions

  • The Sebastianskirche goes back to a chapel that already existed in the 14th century, which originally belonged to the parish in Waldbach . In 1481 a parish of its own was established in Schwabbach, which also included the Siebeneich branch. The Sebastian Chapel has been rebuilt and renovated several times. The base of the tower is the oldest part of the building. The church received its present form mainly through the expansion of the nave to the south in 1655, the reconstruction in 1804 and the tower increase in 1850. The interior was renovated in 1891 by the well-known architect Heinrich Dolmetsch , with the nave in particular by the Stuttgart church painter Theodor Bauerle painted in a neo-Gothic style and provided with a Christ medallion on the choir arch, a galvanoplastic sculpture by the company WMF (Geislingen / Steige). The neo-Gothic space was removed during the thorough interior and exterior renovation in 1955, the last time the church was carefully renovated inside and outside in 2010/11.
  • Other historical buildings in Schwabbach include the Alte Kelter , the historic Gasthof Rößle , the former Gasthof Ochsen built around 1655, which is now partially used as a cowshed, several old farmsteads and buildings with historical inscriptions. The old town hall of the village was built in 1719 as a farmhouse and was also a school house for a time. Today this is used as a residential building.

Economy and Transport

economy

Schwabbach is located directly at the Bretzfeld exit of the A6 motorway. This is why a large industrial area has been developed here in the last few decades, which now offers many jobs and is still being expanded. Markisenbau Müller and the agricultural machinery trade New Holland are well known nationwide.

The Gasthaus Rößle pictured above is now operated under the name "Dorfstube".

traffic

The state road L 1036 runs through Schwabbach from Weinsberg to Kupferzell. This is also a section of the tourist castle route that runs from Mannheim via Heilbronn and Nuremberg to Prague.

Two bus routes that run fairly frequently provide a connection to the Eschenau, Bretzfeld and Bitzfeld stops on the S4 Heilbronn - Öhringen S-Bahn. These modes of transport operate at uniform tariffs of the Heilbronn-Hohenlohe-Hall-Nahverkehr-Verbund = HNV.
