Bavarian Platzl
The Bayrisches Platzl is not a square in the urban planning sense, but is reminiscent of a field name of the same name and is located in the Elisabeth suburb of Salzburg on the corner of Plainstrasse and Bayrisch-Platzl-Strasse . From the 16th to the 19th century, the position allegedly had a legal significance for representatives of the Bavarian dukes, but this was never really claimed by the Bavarian side during this period. At the now densely built-up place in the middle of the city there has been a wayside shrine since the late 18th century that contains a copy of the miraculous image from the pilgrimage church Maria Plain .
history
Originally, this wayside shrine from the late 18th century was erected in the open field in front of the city gates and represented an alleged imperial antiquity . It marked an alleged sanctuary of the Bavarian dukes or their envoys. According to a document from 1594, the place is supposed to have the following significance:
"There is a non-cultivated Grundt in Erzstifft, next to Salzburg, called the Rattenpach, which should therefore not be plowed, and in the middle of the Grundt have dug ropes (pillar) with a turning courtyard, where you can hear a beating horse, and then pay attention without damage to the gaunt, on the unpunched, two-year-old scaffolded horse hold khan. "
A ring was or is to be seen on the wayside shrine, to which one could “Höfften” (tie) a beating horse. As a result, the document allegedly states that the Bavarian duke has the right to march with 72 riders in front of the gates of the city of Salzburg in order to demand a “maleficent” (death-worthy) person who is then to be handed over to him at the Bayrischer Platzl . The place was supposedly designated as Herzog schranne in 1694 , although a reference to a Schranne (= court) is not recognizable.
This alleged right was u. a. tried by the Salzburg legal scholar and archivist Johann Franz Thaddäus von Kleimayrn in his 1770 publication Imparteiische Abhandlung von dem Staate des Erzstiftes Salzburg and its basic constitution for the legal and historical examination of the so-called juris regii of the dukes in Bavaria , such a right would be as To mark a "bold violation of Salzburg's sovereignty rights". Since Salzburg was added to the Kingdom of Bavaria as the Salzburg District between 1810 and 1816 in the course of the Napoleonic Wars , this alleged right, which the Bavarian side had never claimed in all of modern times, was in any case settled.
The wayside shrine there from the late 18th century shows a copy of the miraculous image of Maria Plain . It is part of a pilgrimage route to Maria Plain and is one of the pillars of secrecy . Since 1935 the street leading to the Salzach to Josef-Mayburger-Kai has been named Bayrisch-Platzl-Straße .
