Place name interpretation

The Sorghof with the surrounding landscape from the east

The place name researcher Robert Schuh names two possible interpretations: "yard on poor soil (which causes the owner a lot of worry)" or "yard at the corridor border / at the edge of the forest" ("concern" here from mhd . "Zarge" = "edge, hem, Edging, border ”).

history

In 1593 the farm was first mentioned as "Neu Sorg" (meaning newly built?); the owner was called Hans Riell and was vogtable to the Absberg lordship . 1608 is "Sorg a Schaffhoff", which is still vogtable to the Absbergers and belongs to Gunzenhausen with regard to the Fraisch . In 1652 the court "Neusorg" is subordinate to the Teutonic Order Absberg; the Absbergers had died out two years earlier. For 1732 we learn that the court belongs to the Teutonic Order Commander Ellingen and is parish in the Protestant Thannhausen ; the big tithe goes to the Teutonic Order in Absberg, the little one to the parish of Thannhausen, the Vogtei outside Ettern (inside Ettern it was part of the Teutonic Order) and the high Fraisch took on the Ansbachisch-Margravial Oberamt Gunzenhausen. In 1739 the name was “Sorghof”, in 1750 “Neuer Sorge Hoff”, on which Caspar Wustum sits. In 1792 the wasteland with the Margraviate of Ansbach becomes Prussian. At the end of the Holy Roman Empire , the Sorghof with the former Principality of Ansbach was transferred to the new Kingdom of Bavaria as a result of the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss 1806, where it was incorporated into the tax district in 1808 , and from 1811 into the rural community of Thannhausen in the Gunzenhausen district court / rent office. In the course of the regional reform in Bavaria , which came into force on May 1, 1978, the Thannhausen community was dissolved and the Sorghof came to Pfofeld.
