location

The hamlet is located on the lower reaches of the Hambach, west of the southern Altmühlsee and west of the district road WUG 24. In the village, the Zochagraben flows into the Hambach.

Place name

The place name, which in its older form reads "Unterhabenbach", can be interpreted as a settlement of a Habo on the brook; the word “Unter-” (originally “Nieder” -) refers to the lower course of the stream approaching the Wurmbach . Another interpretation speaks of a settlement on the Habernbach, on the brook, where wild oats grow.

history

A Salbuch of the Herrieden Abbey from 1288 lists two fiefdoms in “habenbach”. The place appears as "Niederhabenbach" for the first time in 1360 in a document in which, among other things, two pounds Haller perpetual money from 2 days' work Wiesen to "Nidernhabenbach" at the courtyards of Hausen from the inheritance of Matthäus, dean of the Herrieden monastery, came to the Heilsbronn monastery . In 1387 two fiefdoms went to (Nieder -) “habenbach” to the Herrieden monastery. In 1412 the sale of 3 farms, 2 farmsteads and 1 mill to "Nideren habenbach" is documented; The seller is Heinrich von Wiesenthau, Vogt of Wernfels from Eichstätt, and the buyer of the Gunzenhausen citizen Hans Walder. From this property, Peter Walder donated meadow 1 to Gunzenhäuser Spital 1 in 1481 and ten years later sold his remaining habenbach property to the Margraves of Ansbach. In the 2nd half of the 15th century "Nidrenhabenbach" is referred to as belonging to the parish of Lellenfeld .

In 1514 1 Gut zu "Vnder habenpach" pays taxes to the Knights of Eyb on Gut Sommersdorf . Around 1525, donations from several Reutwiesen to “Vnternhabenbach” go to the margravial office of forest. According to Gunzenhäuser Salbuch from 1532, the margravial caste office in Gunzenhausen received 5 estates, 1 yard, 1 farmstead and 1 mill; all high and low jurisdictions of the village were Brandenburg-Ansbach. According to the same source, other landlords, each with 1 subject, were the chapter Herrieden, Jörg (Ludwig) von Eyb, Christoph von Lentersheim and Kraft von Lentersheim. 1 Feldlehen belongs to Wald Castle and was awarded with this by the margraves several times in the 17th century. In 1687, “Vnderhabenbach” consists of 2 estates belonging to the Teutonic Order in Eschenbach, 1 estate belonging to the Herrieden chapter, as well as 3 farms and 13 margraves' estates. In 1732 the lordly ownership structure is given as follows: 1 mill and 10 subjects are to the Kastenamt Gunzenhausen, 1 subject to the Vogtamt Bechhofen , 1 subject to the Amt Merkendorf , 2 subjects to the administrator's office Heidenheim, 1 subject to the Herrieden chapter and only 1 subject to the Teutonic Order Eschenbach (for the St. Elisabeth Hospital of the Order in Nuremberg ) subject to interest; there is also 1 communal, so valid-free shepherd's house. The subjects are now parish in Stetten ; the local parish, Protestant since 1545, receives the small tithe, while the large one goes to Ornbau . The municipal authority and the high level of jurisdiction lie with the Margravial Oberamt Gunzenhausen.

In 1792 the village with the principality of Brandenburg-Ansbach became Prussian , but this did not change the landlord's conditions - with one exception: Prussia expropriated the Teutonic order. In 1802 it is reported that the village was formed by 19 subjects of the former Oberamt.

As a result of the secularization of the Eichstätt Hochstift, the Eichstättischen goods Unterhambach became Bavarian in November 1802, but Bavaria exchanged them with Prussia. Four years later, on January 1, 1806, the place finally became Bavarian. From 1808 he was part of the tax community forest in the tax district forest in the district court and rent office district Gunzenhausen. In 1811 Unterhambach and its mill became part of the rural community of Stetten, but came back to Wald with the next community reform in 1818, where the Unterhambach Protestants had been parished four years earlier. The rural community from Wald, Mooskorb, Schweina Steinabühl and Unterhambach was now in the new district office Gunzenhausen (formed from the district courts Gunzenhausen and Heidenheim) of the also new Rezatkreis , which was renamed Middle Franconia on January 1, 1838 .

In 1824 the village consisted of 20 properties with 107 inhabitants (the Catholics were parish after Lellenfeld). This changed little in the 20th century: in 1950 there were 124 people in 19 properties.

Located in the district court or, from 1939, the district of Gunzenhausen, the municipality of Wald was incorporated into Gunzenhausen on April 1, 1971 as part of the regional reform in Bavaria and thus became part of the new Weißenburg-Gunzenhausen district on July 1, 1972, initially with the name of Weißenburg district in Bavaria .

Attractions

The four-storey bell tower with extension and clock in the village was built in 1920 and renovated in 1995. A memorial plaque for the fallen soldiers of the two world wars is attached to it.

Unterhambacher Mill

Unterhambacher Mill

Southeast of Unterhambach, on the lower course of the Hambach and on the WUG 24 district road, is the "mül zu Nideren habenbach" first mentioned in 1412 when Heinrich von Wiesenthau sold it to the Gunzenhausen citizen Hans Walder. In 1491 it became the property of the margraves and came to the Gunzenhausen caste office. Around 1833 the Einödmühle formed a single property. In 1846 it consisted of 2 houses, 2 Protestant families and 11 residents, in 1856 of 2 houses, 2 families and 9 residents. Today it is no longer a mill, but just an agricultural property with a craft business.
