Little Bridge over the Bibert

Highlight • Bridge

The Bibert is a river in Middle Franconia, a good 42 km long, which flows from the left into the Rednitz near the Weikershof district of the independent city of Fürth.

The Bibert rises at an altitude of about 444 m above sea level southwest of the Schmalnbühl district, which belongs to the municipality of Flachslanden, on the Franconian Heights in the Franconian Keuper-Lias region.

It flows through the Rangau and crosses the municipal areas of Rügland and Dietenhofen. The Haselbach flows into the Bibert near Münchzell. Schwaighausen lies south of the confluence with the Egelsbach and Weihersmühlbach.

The river flows past Großhabersdorf and Vincenzenbronn in the south. East of the Ammerndorf district of Bubenmühle, the Bibert forms the border between Ammerndorf and Roßtal. The Bibert touches the Zirndorf districts of Weinzierlein, Wintersdorf and Leichendorfermühle to the north and then crosses Leichendorf and Zirndorf.

The last section of the Bibert, about 1.9 kilometers, forms the border between the towns of Zirndorf and Oberasbach. The Bibert finally flows into the Rednitz from the left at an altitude of 289.5 m above sea level opposite Weikershof, a district of the city of Fürth.

Like most western tributaries of the Rednitz, the Bibert has a low gradient and low discharge as well as sand structures in the bank area and in the riverbed.

Bibertbahn Railway Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

There is a "interest group Bibertbahn" that has been trying to reactivate the Bibert railway line (Nuremberg - Stein - Oberasbach-Altenberg - Zirndorf-Leichendorf) since 2003.

Whether that will ever be lucky is not foreseeable, but until then the bridge will definitely serve as a great photo opportunity

View of Alte Veste

Highlight • Viewpoint

In fact - you really have an excellent total view of the Veste through a tree-free zone from about the same height. There is also a bench there.

In the Würzburg Lehenbuch of 1303, "Büchelein" was first mentioned, which probably meant Oberbüchlein. In 1316 both places were mentioned as "Bvchelin, Nidernbuch" in the Gültbuch of the Nuremberg Clarissa Monastery. In 1413 the place was first referred to as "Obernpuchleins". The place name is based on a field name of the same name, which is derived from the Middle High German word "buoch" (= beech) with a diminutive suffix and therefore means a small beech forest.[2] The place belonged to the Burggravial Office Roßtal, with manorial rights of Nuremberg citizens. In 1418 the village consisted of three farms, the Nuremberg Spitalhof No. 1/2, the Schwabacher Spitalhof No. 3/4 and the Hallerhof No. 4/5.

Towards the end of the 18th century there were 6 properties in Oberbüchlein. The Brandenburg-Ansbach judge's office Roßtal exercised the high court and the village and community rule. Landlords were the Cadolzburg caste office (1 courtyard, 1 half-yard, shepherd's house), the Schwabach hospital (1 courtyard), the Nuremberg hospital authority (1 courtyard) and the Nuremberg owner von Haller (1 courtyard).[4]

As part of the municipal edict, Oberbüchlein was assigned to the Großweismannsdorf tax district formed in 1808. It belonged to the rural community Gutzberg founded in the same year. 1 property was subject to the voluntary jurisdiction of the Nemsdorf patrimonial court from 1823 to 1835.[5]

On July 1, 1972, Oberbüchlein came to Stein with the community of Gutzberg.
