Kirch-Beerfurth, Municipal district in Reichelsheim, Odenwald region, Germany

Kirch-Beerfurth stands at 196 meters above sea level in the Gersprenz Valley, surrounded by the crystalline formations of the Morsberg mountain slopes.

The settlement emerged from the 1321 village of Berenforte, which split into two parts when the western half was sold to the Holy Spirit Monastery in Heidelberg in 1478.

The district received its official coat of arms in 1961, featuring a divided shield with gold and red sections, a blue base, and a silver castle.

The district connects to major transportation routes through Federal Highways 38 and 47, providing direct access to neighboring communities in the Odenwald region.

The name Beerfurth originates from Old High German, combining 'beer' meaning pig and 'furth' meaning ford, indicating a water crossing point for swine herds.
