history

On the road to Regensburg in the 12th century a section secured with planks, a ford, led through the flood-prone area of the Lorenzer Reichswald . A round chapel, the "ecclesia in Altenfurte", was first documented there in 1225. Next to her were the hermitage of a hermit, a farm and a forester's house, the seat of one of the 14 forest huts of the southern forest.

In 1796 Altenfurt was occupied by Prussia and after the takeover by Bavaria in 1808/18 it came to the district court of Altdorf as part of the tax district or the municipality of Fischbach . In 1972 Altenfurt and Moorenbrunn with Fischbach were incorporated into the city of Nuremberg as part of the regional reform .

In 1939, because of the attack on Poland , there was an internment camp of the Wehrmacht in Altenfurt for male civilians with Polish roots.

Attractions

Romanesque round chapel

Round chapel 2012

The Romanesque round chapel on Leonhard-Übler-Platz is historically significant. It is dedicated to John the Baptist and Catherine of Alexandria . The core building with a diameter of about 5.60 meters was probably built around the middle of the 12th century and was extended in the 13th century (first half or only around 1260/70?) With a three-quarter round apse . A frieze with various ornaments runs on the outside . The original entrance was on the north side, today it is on the west. From 1264 the Altenfurt round chapel belonged to the Egidienkloster Nuremberg . After the Reformation the chapel was profaned and temporarily used as a stable or storage cellar. It was owned by the von Scheurl family since 1816 . The damage from the Second World War was repaired as early as 1947/48. Eberhardt von Scheurl had the burned roof structure of the round chapel restored in the original Romanesque style during the war. In 1950 remains of figural frescoes from the 13th century were uncovered in the dome. The Catholic parish of St. Sebald bought the chapel and the surrounding property in 1950. On May 11, 1952, the round chapel was consecrated again.

Manor house

Manor (January 2013)

The former Scheurl manor, also known as Schlösschen, is opposite the round chapel on Oelser Straße. From the middle of the 15th century there was accommodation for pilgrims, which the abbot of the Egidienkloster had converted into a manor house in 1490. In the course of the Reformation, the property came into secular possession. The manor was given its current structure in the 17th century. Above the entrance to the manor house, you can still see the coat of arms of the patrician families Haller and Bastel with the year 1691. From the family archive of the family in the Nuremberg city archives it emerges that the castle passed into inheritance to the Haller von Hallerstein after the death of Johann Joachim gutenel in May 1747 . The building was evidently significantly shaped by the modernization under Johann Georg Haller in 1753/54. It probably also brought about the representative stucco with Rococo style elements in the hall and in some rooms. After Georg Christian Haller's death in 1788, his son-in-law Jakob Christian Wilhelm Scheurl, who married their daughter Maria Helena Haller in 1785, took over the manor house, which from then on remained in the possession of the Barons Scheurl von Defersdorf . In 1950 the Catholic parish of St. Sebald also acquired the castle. Renovations in 1953 and 1962/63 were insensitive to the baroque stock.
