St. Willibald Parish Church, Traunfeld

Highlight • Religious Site

A first church consecration in honor of St. Willibald was carried out by Bishop Gundekar II of Eichstätt in 1060. It is not known whether Traunfeld was already its own parish at that time, but in 1322 the church was referred to as a parish church and in a visitation protocol from 1480 there are two parishes in Traunfeld and Two pastors spoke of a parish of St. Katharina and a parish of St. Willibald. The Eismannsberg and Deinschwang branches belonged to the parish church of St. Willibald. The reintroduction of the Catholic religion also meant the restoration of the dilapidated church in Traunfeld. Due to a lack of priests, Traunfeld was served by the Lauterhofen parish from 1634 to 1670, after which Traunfeld belonged to the Litzlohe parish until 1719. In 1719 Ballertshofen and Mettenhofen were re-parished from Lauterhofen to Traunfeld. The essentially early Gothic parish church of St. Willibald in Traunfeld underwent extensive structural changes around 1670.

Traunfelder Bachtal Nature Reserve

Highlight • Natural Monument

To the west of Traunfeld lies the Traunfelder Bachtal. The eponymous Traunfeld stream, which rises in Traunfeld, has dug deep into the Alb plateau here. There are numerous springs on the slopes, which are mostly covered with beech trees, some of which also feed fish ponds. The Traunfelder Bach flows into the Raschbach near Hagenhausen, which flows into the Schwarzach near Schleifmühle.

There were once a few mills in the valley floor, of which today only the names Eratsmühle and Mauertsmühle bear witness. The valley is part of the designated Traunfelder Bachtal landscape protection area (LSG no. LSG-00121.14; WDPA no. 395584).
