geography
The district road A 12 leads from Welden via Reutern to Wörleschwang and then joins the state road St 2027 . Shortly before that, the A 20 district road joins the A 12 when coming from the district border via Neumünster and the St-2027 bypass Unterschöneberg .
Religions
The Catholic parish Sankt Michael in Wörleschwang belongs to the parish community Zusmarshausen in the deanery Augsburg-Land in the diocese of Augsburg .
coat of arms
On March 27, 1969, the Bavarian State Ministry of the Interior approved the acceptance of a coat of arms and a flag for the municipality of Wörleschwang. The coat of arms description reads:
Split by a stake cut in two rows of silver and red; in front twice divided by green, silver and red, behind in silver a green shepherd's shovel placed at an angle to the left.
The flag shows three stripes in the color sequence green - white - red; it should be carried with the municipal coat of arms.
The content of the emblem of the coat of arms is justified as follows: Wörleschwang belonged to the Lords of Welden until the 16th century, and the Cistercian monastery of Oberschönenfeld also had tithe rights in the area of the community. The patron saint of the Wörleschwang parish church is St. Albertus, depicted as a shepherd. The symbols of the Lords of Welden (double division of green, silver and red), the badge of the Cistercian women (so-called chess stake) and the shepherd's shovel were chosen as the saint's attribute of Albertus for the municipal coat of arms. Perhaps we can see in the colors green - white - red an echo of the colors of the Republic of Ireland: green - white - orange. In addition to the shepherd's shovel, that would be another reference to Albertus.
history
Wörleschwang is located on the north-western border of the Augsburg district. In Roman times, a Vizinalstrasse branched off from the great Augusta-Guntia (Augsburg-Günzburg) military road near Steinekirch and led through the Zusamtal to the Castra to Aislingen, Eppisburg, Binswangen and Zührkeim and thus further to the Summuntorium fort near Druisheim. From Wörleschwang a side road again led to Welden. In 1829 a Roman copper coin of Emperor Philipus from the year 248 was found in Wörleschwang. It was labeled: Pax aeterna. This find allows the assumption that a place already existed here in Roman times. Certainly there were only a few farmsteads that were further apart than the current village shape suggests.
The origin of the place name has not yet been properly explained. It is quite possible that the place owes its name to its first colonists, perhaps a "Wernio" (equal to Werner). The suffix "-wang" means something like field or area; So field (field, area) of the Wernio.
One interpretation is not based on the name Wernio, but on the Germanic word "Vuvar" (equal to Wuhre or Furt). In fact, there was a bridge over the Zusam here until the beginning of the 19th century; the road ran through the river. The name should therefore mean: field (area) at the ford. The first documented mention of the name is recorded in the archives of the Pastoral Conference of the Diocese of Augsburg as "Werischwanch" in 1327
On January 22, 1349, Bishop Marquart was granted the right to repurchase "over the Gülten (income)" from the Wenischwanch forestry (later also Wernswang). In connection with the history of the von Welden dynasty, to whose rulership the place Wörleschwang belonged, there is talk in 1430 of the "original feud of Jörg Fischern, called the Habdankh von Werlischwang". The place name also changes later in various documentary entries:
- 1452 Wörlschwang (in 1492 the place had 52 houses)
- 1586 Wörleschwang.
On August 22nd, 1721 there were 62 fireplaces in "Wörleschwang", which at that time belonged to the Vogtei Holzheim in the margraviate of Burgau. B. Warrior only has 24 houses. In the spring of 1967 there are 127 residential buildings in Wörleschwang.
The villages of the Welden rule were deserted and impoverished by the Thirty Years' War . About 75 percent of all immigrants in these villages after the war came from the Salzburg region.
Wörleschwang has a venerable, architectural and art-historical parish church with early Gothic frescoes, dating from around 1250. The Romanesque tower with the high, steep gable roof is a special landmark of Wörleschwang. It houses u. a. a bell from the 15th century with the inscription: "Osan hais I - I despise the unweter - Jacob Anbas maister gos me 1479". This tower was originally (about a quarter of its current height) above the grave site of the Holy Confessor Albertus von Wörleschwang, who is said to have Christianized the area here with his Anglo-Saxon compatriots Giesebertus and Siegebertus (according to Pastor Jos. Schmid's notes “History ... of the parish village of Wörleschwang "V. J. 1859), was built as a chapel. Albertus is said to have worked here around the year 90.
The church is dedicated to St. Michael and lets experience several styles: the middle part is Romanesque, the choir is Gothic and the western part with the gallery is baroque. During the church renovation (baroque) in 1724, whereby u. a. When the windows were changed and the Gothic frescoes uncovered in 1954 had probably also been whitewashed, the year when the church was built in 1100 was revealed above the portal. However, there are many indications that a Romanesque church dedicated to the Archangel Michael stood there even before this time.
The place and the church were always closely connected to the Fultenbach monastery founded in 744 by Bishop Wikterp; After all, the Wörleschwang mill, rebuilt by Abbot Magnus in 1720 and largely still preserved, as well as the great tithe for 54 days, belonged to the Benedictine monastery. After secularization, the monastery was demolished in 1811 and the stones were sold. So many stones came from the Fultenbach monastery to Wörleschwang.
In a fire in the rectory during the Thirty Years' War, all written records that were stored there were destroyed. Wörleschwang has been a well-known and much-visited place of pilgrimage to the painful mother and St. Albert for about half a century since 1742. The first pastor documented so far worked here in 1327: Johann, Lord of the Church of Wernischwanch. A complete list of names of the local pastors can only be proven since 1639.
1664: First teacher: Georg Kopp. 1818: New school building instead of the dilapidated building, u. a. with the stones of a worn, dilapidated, old chapel, which had protruded into the Mayerhof on the south side of the cemetery since ancient times. 1915: The current school building was built in the "largest swamp in the whole village" - partly on a pile grid - for 53,000 marks.
Perhaps 1664 could be seen as the founding year of a school in Wörleschwang. It is not known whether “teachers”, most of them doing a trade in addition to sacristan service, gave lessons beforehand. But from the designated year onwards, a complete list of names can also be drawn up for the teachers. The first “definitive” teacher, who had met the requirements of the Austrian government and had been “tested” at the headquarters of the Burgau margraviate in Günzburg, began his service here in 1775. The lessons were initially held in individual houses, mostly in the apartments of the "Ludimagister" and the "Aedituus". House No. 18 later served as a school building.
According to the municipality cadastre born In 1793 there was already a “school mowing” (Pl. No. 710) and, according to the records, there was also a “school owner” Kaspar Brenner, who as such and as sacristan at the same time the meadows in parteno Sala (Pl and 708) held.
The "local history records" also list house no. 18 under community property, namely as a "schoolhouse", inhabited by a respective sacristan and school keeper free of charge and nothing is to be paid from this under the highest authority. The memory of the people goes back even further to the time when there was no paid school house and the “craftsman-teacher” usually gave his lessons in his own house. The house name "Beim Schuljörg" still lives here for house no. 24 and the residents also know how to tell that school was once held in this house. As I said, this was probably still under the Austrian government (Margraviate Burgau) when a Georg (Jörg) Bechler, sacristan; Teacher and saddler in one person who teaches children in his spacious room, besides being a sacristan and mainly a farmer and saddler.
From 1862 to 1929 the independent municipality of Wörleschwang belonged to the district office of Zusmarshausen and from 1929 to the district office of Wertingen , which from 1939 was called the district of Wertingen . As part of the regional reform in Bavaria , Wörleschwang was added to the Augsburg district on July 1, 1972 (initially called the Augsburg-West district ). On October 1, 1976, it was incorporated into the Zusmarshausen market.
In 2008 Wörleschwang's hand ax was found in Wörleschwang .
