history

The place Batzhausen has been mentioned in a document since the 13th century. Petzhausen or Beczhausen , the earliest spelling of the place name is said to come from the noble family of Pezen, later citizens of Nuremberg.

Heinrich (the elder) von Buchfeld and then his sons Albert , Heinrich (the younger) and Konrad held the "noble seat", which can be traced back to the Eichstätt diocese since the 13th century . The village and township government was up to the Wirnts whose long dominance goes back to the year 1341, when the Knights Werndt (= Werner) von Kochel home sold a farm to Batzhausen to the hospital Neumarkt.

A visitation report from 1480 shows that the places Waldhausen and Pirkach already belonged to the parish of Batzhausen at that time.

After the place was assigned to the Duchy of Neuburg , the family tradition of the Wirnts in Batzhausen ended in 1520 when Hans and Jörg, the two Wirnt brothers, sold their property to Hans Hemberger . In 1544 Batzhausen became Protestant. This remained so until the re-Catholicization of the place in 1619.

Batzhausen burned down in 1591, but 37 houses were rebuilt by 1595.

The Batzhausen Castle was finally demolished in 1700. Parts of this, together with ashlars from the noble castle, may have been used to build the Maria Hilf pilgrimage church in 1755.

Batzhausen suffered greatly from the turmoil of the Napoleonic era, which lasted for more than two decades and was only interrupted by dubious armistice agreements. The imperial family had moved from Vienna to the Upper Palatinate in order to counter the advance of the French on their capital early on. In 1796, towards the end of the First Coalition War , a fierce battle between Austrian and French troops raged around Batzhausen. Here were at the Battle of Deining on 20./22. August 1796 thrown back the French as far as Deining. The so-called French holes in the Boxlohe and in the Zieger , southeast of Batzhausen, are several hundred depressions, each with a diameter of up to ten meters. These were then used and expanded by the French troops. However, the depressions were created by the earlier mining of stone ore (iron stone).

In the years 1818/21 the political community Batzhausen was established. From 1830 the places Waldhausen and Klingelmühle came to Batzhausen. This remained so until it was incorporated into the Seubersdorf community on May 1, 1978.

Batzhausen was hit by further devastating fires in 1840 and 1887.

Construction of the Nuremberg – Regensburg railway began in the Batzhausen area in 1870. The initially small number of workers in this section gradually rose to almost 400 (more than the number of residents in Batzhausen). Some of them found private quarters, but the vast majority of them lived in large, primitive barracks in three different places outside the town.

In 1925 the first aqueduct was built in Batzhausen.
