Place name

The place name was interpreted differently. A comprehensible interpretation is "To the newly cleared land where woodpeckers stay."

history

The later Speckrodflur, which was reforested after the Roman era from the 3rd century onwards, may have served the Gunzenhausen monastery to use wood in the 8th century , but it was a royal forest . In the 12th century, this royal forest property was cleared to the Counts of Truhendingen , who endeavored to expand their territory and needed the wood for their castle construction on the front Schloßbuck. The settlement of dependent farmers that developed on the cleared area was first mentioned in the early 15th century: in 1402, Chuntz von Lentersheim received "the hope called Spexrode", which Vlrich von Müre (= Muhr ) had previously held. 1426, as Engelhard Muhr, two parts of the courtyards of "Spexrod" by Count Ludwig von Oettingen to fief , had the guardians of Engelhard "Speckßrod" sell to the Mayor, the Council, the Hospital Master and the hospital Gunzenhausen. The settlement was abandoned at an unknown date. By the 19th century at the latest, Specksrod was only a field name. Today the area is built over as urban land.
