Sperberslohe is a district of the Wendelstein market in the Middle Franconian district of Roth ( Bavaria ).

location

The village is 4.5 kilometers south-east of Wendelstein, 16 kilometers south of Nuremberg , 5 km south of Feucht and 9 km north of Allersberg in the middle of dense forest areas. The Hembach flows through it. In the second half of the 20th century, a settlement area in the north-east was attached to the old town to the south.

history

House in Sperberslohe

The clearing settlement was first mentioned in a document in 1169 as Spawareslohe . The place name is made up of "Spawari" (old high German sparrowhawk) and " Lohe " ( old high German "low wood, clearing, but also embers"), meaning that in "the settlement near the forest in which the sparrowhawks live" charcoal and falconry were practiced.

Between 1874 and 1890, the Count von Faber-Castell acquired some of the properties in Sperberslohe and had them reforested.

During the gigantism of the 1930s, the huge operating and marshalling yard for a so-called broad gauge railway was planned in the Hembach area between Sperberslohe and Furth . However, until the end of the war, this project did not get beyond the planning phase and the necessary geodetic route measurements. Towards the end of the Second World War , the MAN company wanted to build a secret tank factory in the forest between Sperberslohe and Nerreth . It didn't come to that either.

During the Second World War , the forest near Sperberslohe was bombed on March 8, 1943. A large number of duds then had to be cleared. There was no destruction in the place. On April 6, 1945, a lively low- flying operation was observed over the motorway near Sperberlohe. In the 1970s, the new building plans for the new marshalling yard in standard gauge were taken up again to replace the aging freight yard in the southern part of Nuremberg . The Deutsche Bundesbahn planned the new building in the Kessel and Hebenbach forest between Sperberslohe and Furth. The associated enormous land consumption, the increased environmental awareness and massive protests from the population prevented this project. Numerous water and landscape protection areas have been designated since 1985 . Until the regional reform in Bavaria , Sperberslohe belonged to Raubersried like the neighboring Dürrenhembach . In 1971 all three places were incorporated into Wendelstein.

Population growth: 1987: 203, 2013: 279, 2014: 277 - The number of inhabitants is currently falling slightly. The population of Sperberslohe is clearly outdated. While the group with the largest population is the 37 to 47 year olds on a national average, here it is the over 65 to 75 year olds.

Economy and trade

In addition to boaring and falconry , charcoal burning used to be the main source of income for the Sperbersloher people. The handicraft is still practiced today in the vicinity of Furth in a museum, in the place some street names such as Am Meiler and Köhlerstraße are reminiscent of the tradition. Some farms, craft shops and a transport company are in the village. There are no shops.
