Trendel is a part of the municipality of Polsingen in the Weißenburg-Gunzenhausen district , Middle Franconia .
geography
Trendel is located on the eastern edge of the Nördlinger Ries , 500 m north of the Rohrach river , about 1.5 km west of Polsingen. Another 1.5 km to the west is the associated hamlet of Mäuskreut . The location of Trendel on a slope that is relatively steep for the area led to the emergence of some proverbs that portray this fact with a bit of a smile. The best-known dialect proverb is “Trendel hangs on the Bendel (= cord), if the Bendel breaks, it falls (down) and down to“ Maiskreit ”(= Mäuskreut)”. On the northern outskirts there is a view of the Ries crater. At the western end of the village, the Lindichgraben , a tributary of the Wörnitz, rises in a small pond .
history
It was not until the 2000s that finds from prehistory and early history in the corridor became known. During field inspections, pottery shards and stone tools from the Neolithic Age could be found. Ceramic finds on the outskirts of Trendel testify to a Celtic settlement. The place name is likely to be derived from the Middle High German word for "ball or spinning top". This certainly means the ridge on which Trendel leans. The foundation of Trendel, as well as of Ober- and Unterappenberg, may be related to the settlement of defeated Saxons in this area by Charlemagne . This is indicated by several field and forest names ("Sachsensteig", "Sachsenhart") in the area. Mäuskreut is certainly to be seen as a clearing settlement of the High Middle Ages.
To the southwest of the village there is a hill on which Trendel Castle of the Noble von Trendel stood. These nobles from Trendel are first attested in documents from the 12th century. Later the aristocratic seat was given up and a small castle was built on the outskirts. This manor saw numerous changes of ownership. From the 16th to the 19th century, the noble families “Von Stein”, “Von Appold” and “Von Schönfeld” owned the Trendel estate. Most of these families were in the service of the Margraves of Ansbach . A large part of the 40 or so properties in the village and the farms of Mäuskreut belonged to the manor. Other landlords in the village were the Kaisheim monastery , the city of Wemding and the rule of Oettingen. Before the Thirty Years War there were several Jewish families in Trendel. The Evangelical Lutheran Church in Trendel was combined as a parish with Ursheim . The parish seat has always been Ursheim.
In 1965 the village of Trendel won the gold medal in the national competition Our village should be more beautiful .
On April 1, 1971 Trendel was incorporated into the municipality of Polsingen.
