The community of Pommersfelden is subdivided into four Gemarkungen (traditional rural land units) with a total of ten settled centres, each given here with its own population figure:

The Gemarkungen have the same names as 4 of the constituent communities (it is traditional for a Gemarkung to be named after a town or village lying nearby, or in Pommersfelden’s case, within it).

History edit

As of the 14th century, Pommersfelden was owned by the Truchseß von Nainsdorf und Pommersfelden family. After the family had died out in 1710, ownership passed to Lothar Franz von Schönborn, Elector of Mainz and Prince-Bishop of Bamberg. With the Act of the Confederation of the Rhine in 1806, the Counts of Schönborn saw their overlordship pass to Bavaria. In the course of administrative reform in Bavaria, today’s community came into being under the Gemeindeedikt (“Community Edict”) of 1818. Until 1972, Pommersfelden belonged to the district of Höchstadt an der Aisch.

Population development edit

Within municipal limits, 2,009 inhabitants were counted in 1970, 2,253 in 1987 and 2,653 in 2000. On 30 June 2007 it was 2,936.

Politics edit

The mayor is Gerd Dallner, elected in 2020.

The community council is made up of 14 members, listed here by voter community affiliation, and also with the number of seats that each holds:

  • Wählerblock Sambach: 5
  • Freie Wählergemeinschaft Steppach: 5
  • Bürgerblock Pommersfelden: 3
  • Einigkeit Limbach: 1

Coat of arms edit

Pommersfelden’s arms might heraldically be described thus: Party per fess argent and gules, argent a pale azure, thereon an uppercase T argent and flanked by two embattled towers gules, gules a lion passant Or with two tails armed, langued and crowned azure on a mount of three.

In 1999, municipal tax revenue, converted to euros, amounted to €990,000 of which business taxes amounted to €174,000.

Through the municipal area runs the Strullendorf–Schlüsselfeld railway line, although nowadays only goods are transported on it to and from Schlüsselfeld.

Buildings edit

 
Schloss Weißenstein

In the south of the constituent community of Pommersfelden stands Schloss Weißenstein (palace), built by Lothar Franz von Schönborn between 1711 and 1716, which is nowadays in private family ownership. The Baroque palace houses an impressive stairway, an indoor grotto and a collection of paintings that is worth seeing.

In the middle of the constituent community of Pommersfelden are the remnants of an old castle with a moat, and in Sambach a Jesuit castle. Neither, however, is open to the public. Furthermore, the constituent communities of Limbach, Pommersfelden, Sambach, and Steppach each have a church.
