St. Joseph Possenfelden "In 1818, a benefactor had a journeyman mason build a chapel in Possenfelden without obtaining any prior permission from the church or state. The requested permission to bless the church and celebrate Holy Mass was denied on November 4, 1819" (Archbishop's Ordinariate of Bamberg, January 11, 1923). A short church chronicle of the Possenfelden chapel begins with the words: "During the reign of the King of Bavaria, His Eminence Maximilian Joseph, in the 12th year of Your Excellency, the strict district judge Johann Prescher in Gremsdorf. https://kuratie-elsendorf.de/kirchen/filialkirchen/possenfelden--st--josef/

The hamlet “Winkelhof” is surrounded by forest between meadows and fish ponds in a valley floor of the Steinachbach, west of Buch. The group of buildings consists of four farms, with the forester's house and the front half-timbered building shaping the appearance of the hamlet. The forester's house, a former water and forest castle, was built by the Lords of Thüngfeld. This house stands on a kind of island and is surrounded by a pond except for the driveway. In 1421 the entire hamlet, including the agricultural land, became the property of the Ebrach monastery. Two former forest workers' houses, including the half-timbered building mentioned, have been owned by the Benedictine Münsterschwarzach Abbey for around 20 years. The place name "Winkelhof" was derived from the original medieval farming settlement "Winkele", which existed south of the hamlet and which was dissolved in the Middle Ages.

Built in 1933 as a conventional outdoor pool, natural pool since 2005, so no chemicals are used. Swimming pool (33 x 18 meters, seven lanes), non-swimmer pool (27 x 18), stream for small children, original slide from the 1930s, stage for events, a good 2300 cubic meters of water volume, 6000 square meters of sunbathing area.

Nice location for hikers to take a break. A shelter, the playground and several break benches at the natural pond make a great package 👏

Idyllic ponds with traces of the beaver

The lake with an island and beautiful water lilies, reeds, cattails, 🐸🐸, and much more. In combination with the footbridge, the 🌳🌳 is very idyllic at the playground, which is excellently maintained.
