Stettbach is a district of the Werneck market in Lower Franconia in the Schweinfurt district .

geography

Stettbach is located three kilometers northwest of Werneck in a depression; it borders Vasbühl to the north , Eckartshausen to the east and Zeuzleben to the south .

history

Old forms of the name are Stetebach and Stetbach , they can simply be interpreted as a place on the brook . The brook Lachgraben divides the corridor into two parts, the flat area rising to the west is covered by loess , while the eastern one consists of Lettenkeuper.

The band ceramic settlement area Stettbach can be proven at an early stage by finds of the younger linear band ceramics (2600-2500 BC). The district was first mentioned on February 10, 1302. Stettbach is said to have belonged to the eight villages that were separated from the original parish of Eßleben in 1286 and formed the parish of Ettleben. In 1861, in the context of the national and popular description of the regional court district of Werneck, Katzenberger wrote the first detailed description of the village of Stettbach:

“[...] It is a parish with 279 inhabitants, the majority of whom live from agriculture, which because of its many stony fields does not have the first credit rating. Are not very wealthy. The poorer class works partly as bricklayers, several as day laborers in the castle garden at Werneck, where they find their earnings all year round. The place, between two hills, has small apartments that are not kept extremely clean. Many families have also run down from wasteful and immoral lifestyles. A rich spring with healthy and clear sparkling drinking water rises at the place, with a second spring a short distance away. The draining water joins a small brook flowing from Vasbühl and forms the so-called Lachgraben, whose water flows into the Wern above Ettleben . Also a small community forest of 23 days of bushwood work, from which they derive some merit from Lohrinde, which is needed for tanning leather , as well as from some vineyards on the northeastern side. "

- Michael Katzenberger

The former main street of Stettbach was after the local government reform in Kirschental renamed because along the trench Lach always best conditions for orchards were present. Even today there are still numerous orchards that surround the district with a lot of green.
