Attractions

Castle in Michelbach

Synagogue in Michelbach

• The castle in Michelbach an der Lücke goes back to a moated castle from the 10th century and, with four original courtyards, formed the oldest settlement core of the place. Destroyed after the Battle of Herbsthausen in 1645, the palace was rebuilt in its present form in 1709. There was once a Catholic chapel in the courtyard.
• The synagogue in the Michelbach district is one of the few that was not destroyed in the November pogrom in 1938 . After being sold, it served as an ammunition depot and drinks store, was later restored and has been a memorial and place of encounter and training on the subject of Jewish life in Baden-Württemberg since 1984 . The dead of the Jewish community were buried in the Jewish cemetery in Michelbach an der Lücke from 1840 to 1939.
• In Schainbach there is the Romanesque Jakobus Church, in Hengstfeld the Church of St. Lambert from 1837 with remains of an older previous building (both Protestant).
• Weidenbach infiltration - about one kilometer northwest of Wallhausen you can see a rare natural event. The Weidenbach seeps into the fissured and porous shell limestone for most of the year. A large part of the water that disappears in the karst rock flows almost 18 km underground and emerges at Sulzdorf - Neunbronn an der Bühler from nine springs in the valley floor, which are now covered by a mill pond.
• Historic pumping station - In the district of Schainbach there is a pumping station from 1912. It is one of the oldest pumping stations in Württemberg. In the meantime the pumping station had to be shut down. Due to excessive pesticide residues, the own water can no longer be used directly, but only by mixing (last 1:13) with remote water. As a result, however, the production sank from the previous 80,000 m³ to 7,900 m³, which no longer allows economical operation.
• The water and observation tower was built in 1974 and renovated in 2001. It has a height of 33 m; the upper water chamber is thus 507 m above sea level. It holds 350 m³ of water, the lower 250 m³. This ensures the water supply for around 400 people. The tower is painted in the style of the time it was built.
• Historical local arrest - Historical local arrest is still in place in the Hengstfeld district.

The Weidenbach, which sinks to the northwest of Wallhausen on the railway embankment in an unfortunately unattractive sinkhole, also flows under the Jagst towards the southwest to the Bühlertal, where Zander, after 480 hours in the Neunbronn springs about 18 km away, observed the re-emergence of the dye given in the swirling stream . The Weidenbach only overcomes the infiltration point when there is strong water flow and reaches the Brettach via Reinach-Seebach, depending on the orographic gradient . … “( Hans Mattern : Das Jagsttal from Crailsheim to Dörzbach .
