Directory of all cities, markets, villages, hamlets, wastelands, castles, etc. in Middle Franconia

The directory of all cities, markets, villages, hamlets, wastelands, castles, etc. in Middle Franconia is a directory that was compiled by the Ansbach government registry functionary GM Sinsel. The full title reads: “Directory of all cities, markets, villages, hamlets, desert areas, castles, etc. in Middle Franconia in alphabetical order with the designation of the district offices, city, country and district courts to which these are incorporated. As of July 1, 1862. "

On pages 3 and 4 there is a list of the district offices and regional courts of Middle Franconia . This is followed by an alphabetical list of all places in Middle Franconia (pp. 5–102). A correction can be found on page 103.

For the individual places there is information about their type of place, the responsible regional court, district office and district court. Ortsytpen distinguishes between desert , hamlet , village , market and city . However, it is not specified according to which rules this distinction was made.

In 1863 there was a new edition of the work "as of January 1863". The information on the location type is missing here. For this purpose, it is also indicated which appellate court and jury court is responsible for the location, and also how many hours the location is away from the respective facilities. However, it is not specified on which basis this calculation was made (definition of the town center as a reference point?, Travel speed?, Use of roads or straight line?). A check shows that one hour corresponds approximately to a distance of 3.2 km, but with a possible deviation of ± 0.32 km.

Remarks

↑ If you decide on the center of the town and as the crow flies, different distances will result if the hours are the same. For example, Höfstetten from the district court Heilsbronn , located in the center of Heilsbronn located 3.5 km away. The distance, which can also be covered roughly as the crow flies, is 3.5 km. It should be done in 1 ¹ ⁄ ₄ hours. However, the same duration is given for Müncherlbach , which is 4.5 km from the regional court. On average, the cruising speed would then be 3.5 km / h. For Neuendettelsau , which is 5.5 km away, 1 ³ ⁄ ₄ hours are given. The same duration is given for Reuth , 6.5 km away . On average, the cruising speed would be 3.4 km / h. From Weiterndorf , 1.6 km away , you should reach the district court in ¹ ⁄ ₂ hour, which corresponds to a travel speed of 3.2 km / h. At Steinhof , the average travel speed is 3.1 km / h, as the place is 4.7 km from the regional court, which should be reached in 1 ¹ ⁄ ₂ hours. The mean value of this data gives an average cruising speed of 3.2 km / h.
