history

The place name with the ending -dorf refers to a foundation before the year 900. At that time, the place was probably part of the extensive Carolingian royal district, which was subsequently dissolved. The place name can be interpreted as the village of a Babo or Bebo. The prefix water was given to the village later because of the many lakes in its area and its location on the river.

The former brewery inn

The place was first mentioned in the 13th century as "Bebendorf". In 1244, the Bishop of Wurzburg handed Hermann I of Lobdeburg his subject Heinrich Muphelger a Hube and a mill in the village as a feud . In this document a "Hermann de Bebendorf" was noted as a witness. The zu Bebendorf family probably sat as local nobility in a fortified ancestral home in the middle of the village. The family was only mentioned in this document.

In 1293, Count Heinrich II zu Castell sold a meadow in "Bebindorf" to the Würzburg Johanniter. The connection with the nearby lakes was first reflected in the name of the place in 1309. The Counts Rupert and Hermann II zu Castell gave their feudal husband C. Ortolve a "gut ze Bebendorf an den wazzere". In 1357 Eckhart von Crailsheim received the tithe for "Bebenburg an dem Wasser" as a fief of the Hohenloher family. The Crailsheimers still sat there in 1364.

From 1381 Wasserberndorf was one of the customs places in the vicinity of the royal city of Prichsenstadt , which was founded by Charles IV . The customs house was razed in the 18th century. In 1407, the Cistercian monastery Ebrach in "Bebendorf iuxta aquam" (Berndorf near the water) was well off, at that time there was also a mill in the village. After 1413 the Casteller again came into possession of the tithe and awarded it to Linhart Pebendorffer.

In the second half of the 15th century the influence of the Lords of Crailsheim in the place increased again. So Ebrach sold his goods and rights to the noble family. In 1471 Magdalena von Vestenberg , widow of Hans von Vestenberg, also sold her property to the Crailsheimers. Therefore, in 1479 Jörg von Crailsheim is proven to be the sole tithe in "Wasserberndorff".

Between 1572 and 1669 Wasserberndorf was a castellisches fiefdom in the hands of the Lords of Crailsheim. Economically, the village was characterized by sheep breeding at that time. The margraves of Brandenburg-Ansbach held the fiefdom until 1804 . In 1807 the place was called "Wasserbebendorf". In 1972 Wasserberndorf came to the newly formed large community Geiselwind.

Culture and sights

Architectural monuments

Wasserberndorf does not have its own church building. An 18th century stable house with a hipped roof and half-timbered upper floor and the former brewery inn are well worth seeing. To the west of the village, the former lumber mill has been preserved. At times it was an independent district of Wasserberndorf.

legend

Originally there were three stones between Wasserberndorf and the Hutzelmühle. According to a legend, three maidens killed each other here in a dispute when they set out to spin in the Lohmühle near the Hutzelmühle. There a man once saw a "thing" fly when he was on the way to Geiselwind. It accompanied him to Weingartsmühle and was as fat as three men next to each other. Another story relocates the appearance of a headless rider to the three stones.
