The defining word “Laim” in the name of the water means “clay”. The residents call their village colloquially "Lahbach".
history
The monastery “Megingaud (e) shausen” (named after Count Megingaud) was probably located near Unter- or Oberlaimbach, on the Laimbach, in 816 . Megingaud from the Mattonen family gave Benedikt von Aniane at the Diet of Paderborn in 815 his re-establishment in the Steigerwald, Megingaudshausen Monastery. The sending of founding staff was agreed with the Abbot General and the basic features of the foundation were laid down. Abbot Benedikt von Aniane then sent several monks from the model monastery Kornelimünster to Megingaudshausen. The monastery existed until about 877 and was moved to Münsterschwarzach am Main that year. Teutgarius is considered to be his first abbot . A fortress on the Leymbach (in what is now Oberlaimbach) was first mentioned in a document in 912. At that time, King Konrad I gave the abbot of the Schwarzach monastery (today Münsterschwarzach ) several properties, including Leymbach . The villages of Oberlaimbach and Unterlaimbach later emerged from the rural settlement on both sides of the Laimbach. As the fortress became more and more dilapidated over the years, another castle was built in Unterlaimbach from 1357.
In 1364, according to a document, the village was owned by the Lords of Seinsheim, and in the 16th century by the Lords of Hessberge. During the Peasants' War in 1525, Kasimir von Brandenburg-Kulmbach had the place burned down. In 1528 the village joined the Reformation . At the end of the 16th century, the Lords of Wenkheim sat at Unterlaimbach Castle, which was sold to the Lords of Seckendorff in 1602. In 1644 it was bought by Count (later Prince) Schwarzenberg .
After the Thirty Years War there were only nine households in the village. The population grew due to the influx of former soldiers and Austrian exiles , who contributed significantly to the reconstruction. The dilapidated castle, which had been owned by the Ruhl family from Unterlaimbach since 1666, was demolished in 1782 , with the exception of the Unterlaimbach stables . In 1806 the area became part of Bavaria.
The Bavarian original cadastre shows Unterlaimbach in the 1810s with 40 hearths around the church and its church . In a village fire on September 15, 1840, several buildings were destroyed, including the church.
Bombs in World War II caused only minor damage to property, but some residents were killed or injured. A destruction of the village by retreating Wehrmacht units could be prevented in 1945 by two courageous citizens; Unterlaimbach was occupied by US troops on April 13, 1945 without a fight .
The composition of the population changed due to the influx of German refugees and expellees, especially from the Sudetenland .
The village became part of the Scheinfeld district in the post-war period , after its dissolution (1972) the previously independent municipality became a district of Scheinfeld on January 1, 1976 as part of the regional reform in Bavaria , which has since been part of the Neustadt an der Aisch - Bad Windsheim district.
Architectural monuments
Nine architectural monuments have been preserved in Unterlaimbach today. See also: List of architectural monuments in Unterlaimbach
- St. Vitus Church
Unterlaimbach had a chapel early on that was dedicated to St. Vitus (Veit) and was a branch of the parish of Gutenstetten . In 1442, under Abbot Jodokus von Münchsteinach (d. 1452), the chaplaincy was raised to an independent parish and assigned to the dean's office in Schlüsselfeld . The previous chaplain Nikolaus Sell is named as the first pastor. After Unterlaimbach was raised to a parish, the chapel was expanded into a parish church. When the place was destroyed in 1525, the church burned down.
The Reformation was introduced in 1528. The names of the first Lutheran pastors have not been passed down (information on the clergy is only available from the second half of the 16th century).
In 1634 the pastor was expelled during the turmoil of the Thirty Years' War , so the services had to be held for years by clergy from neighboring parishes. It was not until 1660 that Unterlaimbach had its own pastor again. Since 1674 the Catholic princes v. Schwarzenberg took out the right of patronage , but the community remained Protestant.
In 1715 the dilapidated tower was rebuilt.
St. Veit was destroyed in the fire of 1840 and rebuilt in neo-Romanesque style in 1847/48. The last restoration took place in 1972. Today the church belongs to the deanery Markt Einersheim . The parish Unterlaimbach is part of the parish Oberlaimbach - Markt Bibart - Unterlaimbach - Ziegenbach .
