Uffenheim from the north-west

Uffenheim is a town in the Neustadt an der Aisch-Bad Windsheim district in Central Franconia ( Bavaria ). It is the seat of the Uffenheim administrative community .

geography

Geology and landscape

Geologically, Uffenheim lies in the slightly bent sediment layers of the Lower Keuper . They consist of clays and marls with limestone and sandstone banks . The sandstone in the middle of the sequence is several meters thick. In the east of the city there is an arching center of the Uffenheimer saddle. The limestones of the Upper Muschelkalks below the Keuper are cut up to 20 meters by the Gollach, which flows from east to west . They were dismantled in the area of ​​the Upper Mill. The greater hardness of the shell limestone rock results in steeper valley cuts of the Gollach and its tributaries compared to the surrounding area. During the Ice Ages, large parts of the relief were covered with loess . The fertile soils that have developed there are the basis for the strong agricultural character of the landscape. Uffenheim is located in the Gollachgau , which together with the Ochsenfurt Gau, which is very similar in terms of landscape, forms the main natural spatial unit of the Ochsenfurt Gau and Gollachgau , which lies within the Main Franconian plateau .

The climate is humid all year round with average rainfall of 644 mm per year and average temperatures around 8.3 ° C.

history

Until the 19th century

Mentioned for the first time in 1103, Uffenheim received town charter from Emperor Charles IV under the nobles of Hohenlohe in 1349. In 1378 the city was sold to the Burgraves of Nuremberg = Margraves of Ansbach. The margraves (= Hohenzollern) introduced the Reformation as early as 1528. From 1500 the margraviate was in the Franconian Empire . From 1791 to 1806 the Franconian margravates and thus also Uffenheim were Prussian territory, whereby the Baron von Hardenberg tried his famous reforms in this area as well.

Since 1806 the city belonged to the Kingdom of Bavaria. In the decades of industrialization, Uffenheim remained a small town and the center of the fertile Gollachgau .

Starting in 1848, Middle Franconia was divided into four studs and Uffenheim and Neustadt formed the fourth of them.

20th century

The prominent keynote speakers were Gregor Strasser and Julius Streicher on September 9, 1928 at a rally by the NSDAP with the participation of the Neustädter Sturm 20 in Uffenheim. In the same year the Uffenheimer Tageblatt became. Independent, national farmers and medium- sized newspaper founded by the Scheinfeld restaurateur and politician Wilhelm Holzwarth with Theo Holzwarth. In 1930 Frieda Saueracker, née Schuh, complained to Julius Streicher from Ermetzhofen about the "harmful influence of the Holzwarthsche Zeitung" on the NSDAP . After the editorial offices were destroyed by local National Socialists with an explosive device, Wilhelm Holzwarth left Uffenheim in 1932. The Uffenheim district , which existed until July 1, 1972, has belonged to the Neustadt an der Aisch district since the regional reform (from May 1, 1973 Neustadt an der Aisch-Bad Windsheim district ). Due to supraregional transport connections and improvements in the infrastructure, Uffenheim has been upgraded to a possible medium- sized center .

Incorporations

On January 1, 1972, the previously independent communities Brackenlohr (with Aspachhof), Rudolzhofen and Welbhausen were incorporated. On July 1, 1972, Custenlohr (with Hinterpfeinach and Vorderpfeinach ) was added. Uttenhofen followed on January 1, 1978. The series of incorporations was completed on May 1, 1978 with the incorporation of Langensteinach (with Kleinharbach ) and Wallmersbach.

Population development

In the period from 1988 to 2018, the population rose from 5640 to 6518 by 878 inhabitants or 15.6%.
