history

Until the 19th century

Scharfeneck castle ruins around 1790, demolished in 1892

The place was first mentioned in 1062 as "Peieresuorahe". The place name is derived from an identical field name, the basic word of which is foraha, fohra ( ahd. For Föhre, Kiefer ) with an appended collective suffix -ahi , and therefore means Föhrenwald. The place was first mentioned in 1123 as "Baieres dorf ".

In 1353 "Beyrstorf" was granted city rights. The former Obervogtamt of the Principality of Bayreuth, which became Prussian in 1792, belonged to Neustadt an der Aisch under Albrecht Alcibiades in the 16th century and was in the Franconian Empire from 1500 . It fell to France in the Peace of Tilsit in 1807 and became part of the Kingdom of Bavaria in 1810 .

As part of the municipal edict (early 19th century), the Baiersdorf tax district was formed, to which Baiersdorfermühle , Bubenreuth and Wellerstadt belonged. With the second community edict (1818) three rural communities were formed:

  • Baiersdorf with Baiersdorfermühle,
  • Bubenreuth,
  • Wellerstadt.

The municipality of Baiersdorf was under the administration and jurisdiction of the Erlangen Regional Court and the Erlangen Rent Office (from 1920 Erlangen Tax Office ). From 1862, Baiersdorf was administered by the Erlangen District Office (renamed the Erlangen District in 1938 ). The jurisdiction remained until 1879 the District Court Erlangen, from 1880 at the district court Erlangen . The municipality had an area of ​​6.746 km².

The Ludwig-Danube-Main Canal , built from 1835 to 1846, passed east of Baiersdorf and there was a loading point (annex) for goods handling . This served mainly for the export of agricultural products and the import of coal and building materials. In 1950 the Ludwig Canal was closed again and the former site, which, thanks to its rail connection to the Ludwig-Süd-Nord-Bahn , offered trimodal cargo handling by ship / rail / road as early as 1844 , is now built over with the A 73. Only kilometer stone 14, which was moved, still reminds of the Ludwig Canal that was once there.

Baiersdorf has a large share in European horseradish cultivation; there are two well-known companies there that manufacture and sell horseradish products. Margrave Johann the Alchemist (1406–1464) had horseradish planted for the first time in Baiersdorf as the beginning of cultivation in Middle and Upper Franconia. The specialist company Schamel was founded in Baiersdorf in 1846 and is the oldest horseradish company in the world. The roots of the Baiersdorf-based company Kochs in the horseradish trade also go back over a hundred years.

20th and 21st centuries

The municipality part of Hagenau belonged to the neighboring municipality of Poxdorf until the municipal reform in 1978 . The settlement was created in 1939. First an air force camp was set up, then a barracks settlement was built in which French prisoners of war who were displaced from the Sudetenland after 1945 were quartered. The Hagenau settlement was built from 1946. The 60th anniversary celebrations took place from September 1st to 3rd, 2006.

On the evening of July 21, 2007, the municipality was flooded after unusually heavy rainfall. Around a thousand houses were under water, and the Federal Highway 73 had to be closed to traffic. The damage was estimated at around 100 million euros.

badges and flags

Coat of arms of Baiersdorf
 Blazon : “ Split ; front quartered in silver and black; In the back, on the green ground, there is a green-clad escort with a black belt, hat and black boots, blowing a golden horn and holding a golden spear in his left hand. "

White and black municipal flag

Justification of the coat of arms: An imprint of a seal has come down to us from 1458, which was probably made in the late 14th century. The coat of arms has not changed to this day. The crossing of silver and black points to the local lords of the time, the burgraves of Nuremberg. The figure of the man changed over the years, it changed from the wild man to the postman, guard, shepherd or hunter. Presumably she represents an escort.

Town twinning

  • AustriaAustria Austria : A town partnership has existed with the market town of Ulrichsberg in Upper Austria since 1974.
  • FranceFrance France : The city of Pacé has also been a twin town since 2000 , after which the park near the Point was named.
  • PolandPoland Poland : The partnership with the Brenna municipality was sealed in July 2007 for Wellerstadt's millennium.

Business

Due to the favorable location on the A 73 and the railway , Baiersdorf has good transport connections, which is an important location factor for industry and trade.

Two industrial areas, the 15,000-square-foot industrial complex Heinlein in the south of the city and in the northeast industrial park, are the backbone of local industry. This is where the Schamel company, founded in 1846, produces horseradish products. In addition, modern trading companies from various industries have set up shop. In 1991 Brodos AG settled in the Heinlein industrial estate. With around 200 full-time employees, this cell phone wholesaler and IT service provider is the largest local employer. Brodos is one of the three largest distributors of telecommunications items in Germany and at times achieved sales of over 200 million euros.
