history

Noble family von Aufseß

Oberaufseß

The noble family von Aufseß was first mentioned in 1114. The two castles Unteraufseß and Oberaufseß are still residences of the noble family of the Barons von Aufseß. The best-known member of the noble family was Hans von und zu Aufseß , the founder of the Germanic National Museum in Nuremberg . The rule of the barons of Aufseß, who also belonged to the Franconian knight circle, was mediatized in 1806 and came to Bavaria with the Rhine Confederation Act . In the course of the administrative reforms in Bavaria, today's municipality was created with the municipal edict of 1818 .

"At the tower of Aufseß ..." keep of Unteraufseß Castle

The poet Joseph Victor von Scheffel mentioned the village Aufseß in the song cycle Exodus cantorum , in which he greeted the "rose on blue shields":

"Then greet us at the Aufseß tower

The rose of blue shields,

A scribe knight

Hold them in grave gentleness.

In the chapel he has

The crypt and coffin have already been ordered,

But he is still fresh and virtuous,

If he pleases Hirz. "

Jewish community in Aufseß

Jewish cemetery in Aufseß

The Aufseß river at Aufseß

A Jewish community existed in Aufseß , the history of which probably goes back to the 14th century. After the destruction of the entire place in the Thirty Years' War and the plague ended the history of the first Jewish settlement, Jews again settled in Aufseß under the protection of Carl Heinrich von Aufseß in the early 18th century. In 1722 a synagogue and the still existing Jewish cemetery were built there. In 1840 the Jewish share of the population reached its peak at 17.5% (105 out of a total of 600 inhabitants), only to then decline again due to emigration. At the beginning of the National Socialist era in 1933, there were eleven Jewish people living in Aufseß, three of whom were able to emigrate to the United States and one of whom died in the village. The last Jews left the place after the November pogroms in 1938 . SA men from Heiligenstadt and SS men from Bayreuth had ravaged the apartments of five Jews in November 1938, who were then arrested and mistreated. Four high officials from Aufseß were also involved in the violence. At least 16 Jews born or temporarily resident in Aufseß fell victim to the Holocaust .

Feuerbach's fall from Sachsendorf

Sachsendorf became known worldwide through the famous lawyer Paul Johann Anselm von Feuerbach (1775–1835) in his filing of strange crimes . 1808/09 was the prominent Johannes Jagenholz, called " Satrap ", the local Baron Heusslein von Eußenheim 's judicial officer . At his wedding with Elisabetha Dorothea geb. Chamber from Kissingen was the bailiff Karl-Eugen Schell from Kainach best man and later twice godfather. The Jagenholz were friends with the royal Bavarian judicial officer Wolfgang Konrad Glaser in Kasendorf and his wife. Ms. Glaser was murdered with arsenic on August 26, 1808 by her housekeeper Anna Margaretha Zwanziger . Sachsendorf and his prominent Jagendorf family of lawyers have become known through the publication of the poison murder by Feuerbach as well as numerous reprints and stories.

Attractions

Easter bridge over the Aufseß below Schloss Unteraufseß

As a variant of the tradition, especially in Franconian Switzerland, of decorating fountains at Easter, the bridge over the Aufseß leading to Schloss Unteraufseß is decorated as an Easter bridge from Palm Sunday to the Sunday after Easter .

The community had the highest density of breweries in 2001 and received an entry in the Guinness Book of Records for it . There are four breweries in the municipality: Reichold Brewery, Hochstahl - Rothenbach Brewery, Aufseß - Stadter Brewery, Sachsendorf - Kathi-Bräu, Heckenhof. These so-called “world record breweries” are connected to an approximately 13-kilometer brewery hiking trail that leads past all four breweries.
