Bischofswiesen is a municipality and a place in the district of Berchtesgadener Land in the extreme southeast of the Bavarian administrative district of Upper Bavaria . The district town and the next larger city is Bad Reichenhall , the next major city within Germany is Munich .

geography

Geographical location

The municipality belongs to the administrative region of Upper Bavaria and is part of the high alpine region of Berchtesgadener Land in the south of the Berchtesgadener Land district . Together with the neighboring communities of Berchtesgaden , Marktschellenberg , Ramsau bei Berchtesgaden and Schönau am Königssee , Bischofswiesen is located within the geomorphological unit of the Berchtesgaden valley basin and is almost completely surrounded by the Berchtesgaden Alps , whose mountain ranges in turn extend to the east, south and southwest into the Austrian state of Salzburg .

The Bischofswieser Ache (also called Bischofswiesener Ache ) arises shortly before the Winkl district through the confluence of the more important right Frechenbach and its left upper course, last named Mausbach. After flowing through the municipality of Bischofswiesen from northwest to southeast and the Tristram Gorge, it flows into the Ramsauer Ache at Gmundberg . For long stretches it is accompanied by the Freilassing – Berchtesgaden railway line to the mouth .

The community is about 5 km northwest of Berchtesgaden , 13 kilometers south of Bad Reichenhall , 25 kilometers from Salzburg , 140 kilometers southeast of Munich and 200 kilometers northeast of Innsbruck .

Neighboring communities

The neighboring communities on the German side, like Bischofswiesen itself, belong to the Berchtesgadener Land district . In the north Bavarian Gmain , in the northwest of Schneizlreuth , which in southwest Ramsau near Berchtesgaden , in the south of Berchtesgaden and the South East Berchtesgaden and in the east the unincorporated area Schellenberger Forst connect. In the northeast, the municipality meets the German-Austrian border with the Austrian municipalities Großgmain and Grödig behind .

The districts or Gnotschaft , as the local name is, are listed below, with the number of inhabitants as of the date of the last census on May 25, 1987:

Gnotschaft until 1803, congregation from 1817	Ambassadorial districts until 1803	Gnotships from 1817	Newer settlements	Population (1987)

On July 1, 1982, the comparatively small community-free area of Berchtesgadener Bürgerwald in the southwest of the Loipl community (opposite the Schwarzeck community with the dead man belonging to the neighboring community of Ramsau ) was dissolved. The lion's share of 258.9 hectares was incorporated into Bischofswiesen (two hectares were incorporated into the neighboring municipality of Ramsau near Berchtesgaden).

On January 1, 2010, a large part of the municipality-free area of Bischofswiesener Forst was incorporated. This increased the area of ​​the municipality from 34.64 km² to 62.14 km². The uninhabited integrated area has since formed a district within the municipality of Bischofswiesen.

history

Original message from the monastery of Berchtesgaden

The landlord of the meadows was originally the bishop of Salzburg, which explains the place name Bischofswiesen. On May 8, 1155 there was an exchange of goods between Archbishop Eberhard I of Salzburg and the provost of the Berchtesgaden monastery, Heinrich I , and the archbishop received a court in Landersdorf near Oberwölbling for the "pratum Bisvolfeswisen" . After this exchange of goods, the core area of ​​the Berchtesgadener Land or the lands in the immediate vicinity of the monastery comprised the "closed original forest area" within the Berchtesgaden valley basin .

In the course of the Landbrief issued by Provost Ulrich Wulp in 1377 , Bischofswiesen with its six "Gnotschaftsbezirken" (unnamed until 1817) probably became one of the eight " Urgnotschafts " of the Berchtesgadener Land as early as the end of the 14th century , which in 1380 became the Reich Prelature Berchtesgaden and in 1559 an imperial immediate Fürstpropstei Berchtesgaden had been raised. Bischofswiesen was first mentioned in writing as a Gnotschaft, the area of ​​which roughly encompassed that of today's municipality of Bischofswiesen, in the first tax book of the Berchtesgadener Land from 1456.

Secularization, connection to Bavaria

After the secularization of 1803, the Berchtesgadener Land lost its political independence as a prince provost , which was followed by three changes of rule in quick succession. From 1803 the newly founded Electorate of Salzburg was ruler of the "Land Berchtesgaden", after the Peace of Pressburg in 1805 the Empire of Austria and in 1809 for a short time Napoleon's France . In 1810, the Berchtesgadener Land was finally incorporated into the Kingdom of Bavaria.With the reorganization of Europe, Bischofswiesen, like all other Gnotships in the Berchtesgadener Land, was first incorporated under the direct jurisdiction of the Berchtesgaden District Court from 1810 onwards to the Salzach District and from 1817 to the Isar District of the Kingdom of Bavaria, which has been called Upper Bavaria since 1838 . In 1868, the administrative district of Upper Bavaria was subdivided and the place was incorporated into the Berchtesgaden district office . The previous Gnotschaft districts of the "Original Gnotschaft" are still called "Gnotschaften" to this day.

1817 for the brine pipeline from Berchtesgaden via Ramsau to Bad Reichenhall by Georg Friedrich von Reichenbach in the settlement Ilsank a Brunnhaus with him already in 1810 developed water column lift machine set up, the higher Brunnhaus Söldenköpfl could m to overcome a height difference of 360th The Reichenbach pump was in operation from 1817 to 1927, after which it was no longer needed due to a change in the route. On the old brine pipeline are u. a. In Ilsank you can still see the wooden pipes ( dicks ) used at the time.

time of the nationalsocialism

In the Stanggaß was from 1937 to 1945, the Reich Chancellery office Berchtesgaden (also Little Reich Chancellery called). In the National Socialist German Reich it was a second seat of government next to the New Reich Chancellery in Berlin. The architect Alois Degano was commissioned with the construction of the building .

In the Strub , today's Jägerkaserne was built from 1937 onwards , as well as a BDM Reich Sports School set up by the NSDAP in the mid-1930s , which after 1945 served as the first accommodation for Latvian refugees in particular and has been used as an old people's home (" Lebenswelt Insula ") since 1951 .

The district office responsible for the place Berchtesgaden was renamed in 1939 in the district of Berchtesgaden with the same area of ​​responsibility.

post war period

As a result of the Second World War , the Bischofswiesen community took in refugees from the eastern regions of the former German Empire . This changed the composition of the population of Bischofswiesen significantly. In particular in the Gnotschaft Winkl , numerous expellees, mainly German Bohemians and Silesians , were housed in a barrack camp that had been set up in 1944 and initially served by the Wehrmacht, after 1945 to accommodate German prisoners of war. In 1947, 1,186 people lived in these barracks, and in 1952 even 1,229 people. They formed the foundation stone for a new settlement, which was gradually equipped with a school and 7 teachers for 233 children, a kindergarten with 2 kindergarten teachers for 46 children and a “house of the open door” for young people. On December 3, 1955, Prime Minister Wilhelm Hoegner announced the liquidation of the Winkl camp as part of the camp liquidation program, which made it possible to move into 48 residential units at the Böcklweiher and 22 small and family apartments built by the residential building in Winkl itself by 1958 . After that, the Winkl camp was dissolved and the remaining four large barracks also demolished.

Population development

Between 1988 and 2018, the municipality grew from 7,206 to 7,394 by 188 inhabitants or 2.6%.

• 1961: 7166 inhabitants
• 1970: 7736 inhabitants
• 1987: 7033 inhabitants
• 1995: 7416 inhabitants
• 2005: 7479 inhabitants
• 2010: 7527 inhabitants
• 2015: 7500 inhabitants

Geographical and socio-cultural assignments

Bischofswiesen lies within the Berchtesgadener Land region, which is surrounded by the mountain range of the Berchtesgaden Alps . From 1155 almost congruent with the heartland of the monastery monastery Berchtesgaden, which became more and more independent over the centuries and was finally elevated to the imperial provost of Berchtesgaden from 1559 to 1803 , this region is still today culturally and socio-culturally bordered by neighboring Chiemgau and within the same district Berchtesgaden from the former Duke of Bavaria Bad Reichenhall and the once the Archbishopric of Salzburg belonging Rupertiwinkel from. Thus, for Bischofswiesen responsible community associations and regional authorities such as the former district of Berchtesgaden and the current district of Berchtesgadener Land as well as the associated communities go far beyond the socio-cultural conceptual unit "Berchtesgadener Land".

In relation to the Berchtesgadener Land region, u. a. also the Bischofswieser Weihnachtsschützenverein was one of the founding members of the United Christmas Shooters of the Berchtesgadener Land, founded in 1925 .

religion

According to the last census from 2011, of a total of 7386 inhabitants in Bischofswiesen at the time, 4,797 were Roman Catholic (a decrease of 10.9% compared to 1987) and 968 were Protestant (a decrease of 24.8% compared to 1987). The religious affiliation of the remaining 1621 inhabitants was not broken down. So far, in addition to “Roman Catholic” and “Evangelical Lutheran”, only the number of “foreigners” is given in the statistics of the census - here with 396 (an increase of 27.3% compared to 1987) of the 1621 inhabitants, which are not specifically broken down . No information is currently available for members of other religious communities and their possible meeting rooms for Bischofswiesen. (→ see also the sections that restrict or criticize the information provided in this regard in the 2011 census : Household survey , questions on religion and scientific control .)

Roman Catholic parish

Previously cared for for centuries from Berchtesgaden , the Roman Catholic pastoral care area gained a certain degree of independence from 1934 onwards as a branch with the Gnotships Bischofswiesen, Winkl and Loipl as well as parts of Strub and the western part of the Stanggass. From December 14, 1944, the exposition with around 1,800 Catholics was elevated to a parish. Due to the high increase in the number of inhabitants due to the expellees , the southern part of the parish (Böcklweiher, Bachingerlehen, Schönbichl and Süßenbrunn) was added to the newly founded Strub Curate and in 1964 Winkl became an independent pastoral care unit. In March 2000 the pastoral care association Bischofswiesen and Winkl re-established a parish association together with Strub under the name "Pfarrverband Bischofswiesen". The parish currently houses around 2200 Catholics.

Evangelical Lutheran Church Congregation

The area of ​​the political community Bischofswiesen belongs to the Evangelical Lutheran parish of Berchtesgaden of the dean's office in Traunstein . With the Creation Church, this has its own church building with community rooms and a rectory in Bischofswiesen. Another Protestant church in Bischofswiesen is the Insula Church . In view of the low percentage of its parishioners, the Evangelical Church in Bischofswiesen is in the diaspora . (→ See also the section: Religion in Berchtesgaden )

Community partnerships

•  Austria : The Lower Austrian municipality of Wölbling has been the partner municipality of Bischofswiesen since July 2005 . The obvious connection between the two communities arises (see section Original Notschaft der Klosterstift Berchtesgaden ) from the exchange of territory on May 8, 1155, when the Archbishop of Salzburg Eberhard I bought the Berchtesgaden monastery for a farm in Landersdorf near Wölbling under the reign of provost Heinrich I. the "pratum Bisvolfeswisen" (Bischofswiesen) left.

Constituencies

Bischofswiesen is part of the Traunstein constituency and the Berchtesgadener Land constituency for state and district elections.

coat of arms

Blazon : In blue on a green floor, a golden barn with two slantingly crossed silver bishop's staffs underneath.

The coat of arms designed by Otto Hupp contains elements from the family coat of arms of the von Sulzbach and the Wittelsbach family . It shows a so-called field box on a green meadow, behind it two crossed bishop's staffs in blue. The blue of the sky in the form of a lily leaf is reminiscent of Irmengard von Sulzbach , the founder of the Berchtesgaden monastery, who had six lilies in her coat of arms, and expresses the incorporation of the former Bischofswiese into the Berchtesgaden Abbey .

Coat of arms since 1929 on the legal basis of a resolution of the municipal council and the award of the coat of arms by the State Ministry of the Interior following a ministerial resolution of August 16, 1929.

Culture and sights

Cultural traditions

St. Nikolaus, the Nikoloweibl and the Buttnmandl on the 1st Sunday of Advent in Loipl.

→ See also: Fürstpropstei Berchtesgaden / Customs

For the Buttnmandllauf ( Bavarian : buttn = rattle, shake), which has been practiced in the former prince-provost of Berchtesgaden since around 1730 as a stopover during Advent mainly on the 5th / 6th December ( St. Nikolaus ) is maintained, Winkl always uses the second Sunday in Advent . Loipl, in turn, maintains this custom on the first Sunday in Advent. Here, St. Nicholas also moves to the Kollerbichl with a "Nikoloweibl" (a man disguised as a woman in traditional costume), his Strohbuttnmandln and Gangerln (young men dressed in furs and chains) to pray at dusk and then visit the courtyards. There they are already waiting for the children, and after a prayer or a verse that they have learned by heart, they are happy about the gifts.

The 1980 launched Christmas shooting club Engedey is the youngest of its kind. Fahnenweihe as part of the founding ceremony was conducted in July 1981 under the rifle and costume year tags and a memorial on June 1, 1986 Marterl on Söldenköpfl consecrated. The club has two shooting ranges. One of them is located at the Bachmann Chapel in Ilsank , which has been in use since the 1950s on Advent days ("Christkindl-Schießen") and on Whitsun and since 1993 on New Years.

Profane building

Hallthurm (defense tower)

The Hallthurm is a pass on the edge of Bischofswiesen and today the most important access to the Berchtesgaden valley basin from the Bavarian side. At the top of the pass there is still the fortified tower as the remainder of the pass and border fortifications built in 1194 after Salzburg and Bavaria attacked the monastery of Berchtesgaden .

The Jägerkaserne is a barracks in the Strub district on Gebirgsjägerstrasse. It was built from 1937, but was only given the name "Jägerkaserne" on June 17, 1967.

Opened as a guest house in 1866 and expanded into a representative group of buildings in the local style by 1924 , the Hotel Geiger was a traditional hotel complex on the edge of Bischofswiesen or at the entrance to Berchtesgaden. After the bankruptcy of the hotel owners in 1997, the building supervisory authority , the Berchtesgadener Land district office , approved its demolition in 2006 against the wishes of the Bavarian State Office for Monument Preservation , but this did not happen due to the withdrawal of the newly planning investor.

Sacred building

Roman Catholic

The chapel near the Hallthurm was built in 1753.

The pilgrimage church Maria Hilf in the Gnotschaft Loipl was probably built as a chapel in 1798/99 by Loipl farmers . According to Brugger, it was inaugurated (“assigned”) in 1800 by the Reichsstift-Kapitular Franz Xaver Graf von Berchem. Thanks to an indulgence ("Awers"), it developed into a pilgrimage church in 1805, which attracted many pilgrims throughout the 19th and 20th centuries.

The parish church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in Bischofswiesen was built in 1926 according to plans by Georg Metzendorf .

The parish church of St. Michael in Strub was built from 1961 to 1962.

Economy and Infrastructure

Compared to the surrounding communities, medium-sized businesses and industrial companies - especially in the precision engineering sector - play a greater role in Bischofswiesen. In 1973, for example, a craftsmen 's settlement was designated in the pole forest of the Engedey district . The 30 or so handicrafts and trading companies located here are of "major importance" for the Bischofswieser economy. The municipality hopes for a similar strengthening of the economic structure from the Pfaffenfeld industrial park, which was designated in 1998 in Winkl .

tourism

With around 283,000 overnight stays in 2004, tourism is of great importance. The former most important sector of agriculture and forestry, which is mainly operated as a sideline, is now economically subordinate. The municipality is represented with a seat and a vote in the Tourist Region Berchtesgaden-Königssee Association.
