This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Baunach''' is a town in the [[Upper Franconia]]n district of [[Bamberg (district)|Bamberg]] and the seat of the administrative community (''Verwaltungsgemeinschaft'') of Baunach. Until administrative reform in 1972, Baunach belonged to the [[Lower Franconia]]n district of Ebern.

Baunach calls itself the “Franconian Three-River Town” because it lies on the rivers Baunach, Lauter and [[Main (river)|Main]]. These three rivers are depicted in the town's [[coat of arms]], in which a golden [[Esox|pike]] lies over the three rivers. In 2002, the town celebrated its 1,200-year jubilee. Moreover, the river [[Itz]] flows through the community area.

The name Baunach comes from the [[Indo-Germanic]] word for river: ''bunahu''. This may be translated as “swelling water”. For thousands of years the entire region near Baunach has been populated by [[Celts]] and [[Franconians]].

==Geography==
Baunach lies on the right bank of the [[Main (river)|Main]], 11&nbsp;km north of [[Bamberg]]. 
Kraiberg (with a height of 365 metres) and Stiefenberg (396 metres high) are the most important mountains in the area. Baunach lies within the [[Haßberge Hills|Hassberge]] and thus is member city of the [[Haßberge Nature Park]].

===Constituent communities===
Baunach's main town and namesake centre is by far the biggest of its ''[[Ortsteil]]e'' with a population of 3,069. The town furthermore has these outlying centres, each given here with its own population figure:
*Daschendorf 88
*Dorgendorf 342
*Godelhof 13
*Godeldorf 56
*Leucherhof 2
*Priegendorf 345
*Reckenneusig 227

The town also has these traditional rural land units, known in [[German language|German]] as ''Gemarkungen'': Appendorf, Baunach, Daschendorf, Dorgendorf, Priegendorf, Reckenneusig, Stiefenberg, Daschendorfer Forst, Lußberger Forst.

The last-named two are wooded areas without any inhabitant. It is traditional for a ''Gemarkung'' to be named after a town or village lying nearby.

==History==
The first sources of a city called Baunach date from the year 802. Nevertheless, the entire region from Baunach to the [[Staffelberg]] has been populated for thousands of years. Emperor [[Louis IV, Holy Roman Emperor|Ludwig the Bavarian]] bestowed upon Baunach town rights in 1328. The town was both an ''Obervogtamt'' (“higher reeve’s office”) and headquarters of a famous regional knight county before [[Secularization]] and belonged to the Prince-Bishopric of Bamberg. In 1727, the last [[execution]] was carried out in Baunach. In 1803 Baunach came to [[Bavaria]] as a result of the ''[[Reichsdeputationshauptschluss]]''. After [[World War II]] many refugees came to Baunach.

===Population development===
Within the town's area, 2,914 inhabitants were counted in 1970, 3,174 in 1987 and 3,807 in 2000. On 30 June 2007 it was 3,933.

==Politics==
The current mayor is Tobias Roppelt (Christliche Bürgerschaft Baunach), elected in March 2020.<ref name=mayor/> Previous mayors were:
*2002–2020: Ekkehard Hojer (CBB)
*before 2002: Georg Wild (CSU)

In 1999 the town's tax revenue, converted to [[euro]]s, was €1,791,000, of which business taxes (net) amounted to €414,000.

===Coat of arms===
On 15 July 1447, the Bamberg Bishop Anton von Rotenhan conferred upon the market town of Baunach “''ein sigill und panir''” (“a seal and banner”). He made clear the [[Charge (heraldry)|charges]] (not the colours, though – they only came later) to appear in the town's arms: “''sullen steen drey wasserfluss. Und durch dieselben drey wasserfluss soll ein gantzer hecht mit dem haupt von der einen obern ecke des schilts.... geen.''” (“shall stand three rivers. And through the same three rivers shall go a whole pike with the head from the one upper corner of the shield”).

The three rivers are the Baunach, the Lauter and the Main. The pike symbolizes the town's wealth of fish. Prince-Bishop Johann Philipp von Gebsattel (1599–1609) completed the coloured arms with the following colours: red for the field, silver for the rivers and gold for the pike.

===Buildings===
*The historic [[marketplace]] with [[Timber framing|timber-frame]] houses, among them the ''Obleyhof'', first mentioned in a document in 1385, which was owned by the [[Bamberg]] Cathedral Capitular.

*The Parish Church, consecrated to [[Oswald of Northumbria|Saint Oswald]], with tower from the year 1244 and the choir from about 1460.

Its organ is a special attraction including a rare organ effect stop called Rossignol ("Vogelschrey") which imitates the sound of singing birds.
