history

Schweina, a clearing settlement in the course of the Frankish eastward expansion of the 8th century, is the first time in 1361 in a feud book of the pin Ellwangen mentioned, receives as Hermannus Huettlinger a field to "Swinnoe" fief. Probably with this field to "Swinaw" the Stift 1381 enfeoffed Fritz Megg. At the end of the 14th century, a subject of "Sweinaw" pays taxes to the Heidenheim monastery , which also receives taxes from the town in the 15th century. 1407 is also the Arberg eichstättisch-episcopal office in the village of Grundherr. Around 1460/70 one learns that "Schawernaw" (a corrupt spelling from Nuremberg provenance) belongs to the parish of Wald.

Around 1525 "Schweynnaw" consists of 8 subjects, one of whom each from the Brandenburg Office of Forest, the "Holy" (= place of worship) Gunzenhausen, Friedrich von Lentersheim zu Neuenmuhr , Bernhart von Lüchau , sat at Wiedersbach and married to Anna von Eyb zu Eybburg , and two each Hans Wolf d. Ä. from Lentersheim to Mittelmuhr and the Holy (House of God) Stetten belong. As is reported in 1532, the lower and higher jurisdiction was exercised by the Margraves of Brandenburg-Ansbach .

In 1608 the village "Waldt" is described as consisting of four "spots", namely the forest itself and the hamlets of Schweina, Moßkorb and Steinenpühl . Two years later, Margrave Joachim Ernst gives “Ämptlein und Schlößlein Waldt” with all accessories to Wolf Christoph von Lentersheim; this also includes an estate and a house in Schweina. The entire ownership of the forest is passed to Ludwig von Zocha , from 1624 as a Brandenburg fief, initially on a Leibgeding basis and in 1626 as an inheritable knight's fief . 1687 belonged in "Schweina" 3 subjects to the Teutonic Order in Eschenbach , 1 subject to the Eichstätter Bishop, 3 subjects to the rule Oettingen - Spielberg , 4 subjects to the Margrave of Ansbach and 3 subjects to those of Zocha; the high level of jurisdiction was exercised by the Margravial Oberamt Gunzenhausen. Half a century later, in 1732, 2 subjects interest the Margravial Kastenamt Gunzenhausen, 2 to the Vogtamt Schwaningen, 3 to the Teutonic Order in Eschenbach, 1 to the Eichstättische Amt Ornbau , 3 to Oettingen-Spielberg and 3 to that of Zocha; the big tithe went to Spielberg, the little one to the parish of Wald. The municipal authority exercised the castle forest, the high jurisdiction still lay with the Ansbach Oberamt Gunzenhausen. When the von Zocha family died out, in 1749 the Brandenburg margraves enfeoffed the von Falkenhausen family with the Wald estate; the baron family still owns the castle today.

1792 Steinabühl was Schweina with the Principality of Brandenburg-Ansbach Prussia , which, however, did not change the manorial relationships - with one exception: Prussia moved in the three estates of the Teutonic Order of Schweina. In 1802 it is reported that Schweina and its 14 subjects form a community with Steinbühl; One of these subjects was from the Eichstätt and paid interest to the Arberg -Ornbau care and caste office , to which he was also judicially subordinate. On January 1, 1806, Schweina and the now former Principality of Ansbach became Bavarian as a result of the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss . The community of Wald mit Mooskorb, Schweina and Steinabühl belonged from 1808, first as a tax district , then in 1818 as a rural community to the new Rezatkreis , which was renamed the Central Franconia administrative district in 1838 .

In 1829 15 families with a total of 62 people lived in Schweina. In 1848 there were still 15 families, now with 40 “souls”. Hardly anything changed about this until the first third of the 20th century: in 1929 the place counted 55 “souls”. In 1950, however, the population of Schweina had grown to 81 with 12 families.

Initially located in the district court / district office (from 1939 district) Gunzenhausen, the previously independent community of Wald was incorporated into Gunzenhausen on April 1, 1971 as part of the regional reform in Bavaria and thus became part of the new Weißenburg-Gunzenhausen district on July 1, 1972 , which was initially formed under the name of Weißenburg district in Bavaria .
