Summary

[edit]
Description
Deutsch: Kirchberg an der Jagst (Landkreis Schwäbisch Hall): Blick über die Jagst auf die 1779 erbaute, denkmalgeschützte Jagstbrücke (rechts), die Bauten am südlichen Ufer (darunter z.B. die „erhaltenswerten“ Fachwerkbauten Hohenloher Straße 41, links, und Am Burgberg 33/35, Mitte, sowie das denkmalgeschützte ehem. Badhaus Hohenloher Straße 45) sowie den Hügel, auf dem sich die Altstadt und das Schloss Kirchberg (rechts oben) erheben; hinten links der Stadtturm.
Die Entstehung der Stadt geht auf die günstige Lage an einer Furt über den Fluss zurück, die auf der wichtigen Verbindungsstraße zwischen den freien Reichsstädten Schwäbisch Hall und Rothenburg ob der Tauber lag. Zur Überwachung dieser Furt wurde um 1240 auf dem Hügel eine Burg (und an deren Stelle später das Schloss) errichtet, 1779 neben der Furt die steinerne Brücke. Daher hebt dieses Foto vom Flussufer aus die Brücke hervor und macht zugleich die günstige Lage des Burg- bzw. Schlosshügels deutlich.
Aufnahme vom Gerberweg mit Blick nach Südwesten. Auf älteren Ansichten sieht man aus dieser Perspektive zusätzlich auch noch die südliche Stadtmauer zwischen Stadtturm und Schloss, aber das ist heute wegen der hohen Bäume nicht mehr möglich.
English: Kirchberg an der Jagst, Germany: view of the river Jagst with the listed stone-arch bridge, the buildings at the southern bank and the hill which supports Kirchberg Castle (top) and the old town. At the far left the Stadtturm.
The town’s origins can be traced back to its exposed location at a ford across the river, which was on the important road connecting the free imperial cities of Schwäbisch Hall and Rothenburg ob der Tauber. Around 1240 a castle was built on the hill (and later the palace in its place) to guard this ford, and the stone bridge was erected in 1779 beside the ford. This photo therefore highlights the bridge from the riverbank and emphasizes the favourable location of the castle hill.
