Bindlach is a municipality in the district of Bayreuth , administrative district of Upper Franconia , and borders the city ​​of Bayreuth to the south .

geography

Geographical location

The center of Bindlach lies in the Trebgasttal on the edge of the Fichtelgebirge , on the mountain range of the Hohe Warte , the Oschenberg and the Bindlacher Berg , which are geologically interesting due to the Benk formation . In the district of Stöckig, the confluence of the Furtbach and Flußgraben creates the Trebgast, which flows into the White Main at Trebgast . The wide valley was not created by her, but by the more watery Ursteinach, the former lower reaches of the Warm Steinach .

Surname

The origin of the current place name Bindlach is controversial. Until the late 20th century it was traced back to the Slavic Pnetluky . Pnetluky contains the Slavic verb tlouk , which means "to hit". This permits the analogous translation “village of the people who cut the tribes”. The further development of the spelling leads via Pintlock , Pintloch , Bindlich , which can still be heard colloquially today, and finally to Bindlach.

Recent research leads the name Bindlach back to the old Saxon binutlaka . This is interpreted as “rush pool” (standing water overgrown with rushes).

history

Until the church is planted

In 1997, many ceramic shards from clay jugs and vessels from the Bronze Age urn field culture (approx. 1300–800 BC) were found near the residential area of ​​Gries , which suggest that the Bindlach area was settled in early history. Excavations in August 1992 showed that there was a Celtic settlement between Schleifmühle and Allersdorf from around 450 BC. Has existed.

Around 800 AD , Saxons deported by Charlemagne are said to have been settled here. In 1963, Carolingian row graves from the 9th century were discovered. The Würzburg old tenth , which Heinrich von Wirsberg had to pay in Bindlach in 1317 , is proof that the place existed before the bishopric of Bamberg was founded in 1007 .

In a private document dated April 6, 1178, "bintlvke" was first mentioned in a document. At that time the parish of Bindlach was the ecclesiastical center of the Bayreuth region.

As part of the Hohenzollern (since 1792 Prussian ) principality of Bayreuth , Bindlach was part of 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 . Today's municipality was created in the course of the administrative reforms in Bavaria with the municipality edict of 1818 .

Recent history

In 1994 the municipality was classified as a state-recognized sub-center .

Economy and Infrastructure

traffic

Bindlach station, 2012

railroad

Bindlach has a train station on the Bayreuth – Neuenmarkt-Wirsberg railway with regional trains. The listed railway station was extensively restored in the 1980s, but in 2006 it was again in need of restoration. Ticket issuance and baggage drop-off closed in the mid-1980s. Since then, the station building has been used primarily for residential purposes.

At the beginning of 2006, track 1 from the station building in the direction of Harsdorf was closed to all train traffic and the two-wing exit signal in the direction of Harsdorf was dismantled. In July 2009, the remaining shape signals were replaced by modern light signals and in the same year a new platform was built south of the station building and east of track 1 and the track was put back into operation; the regional express trains between Bayreuth and Neuenmarkt-Wirsberg now drive without stopping on track 2. The two former loading tracks and the general cargo shed have been dismantled since the late 1980s.

The mechanical signal box , which has been inactive since 2009, dates back to the time of the Royal Bavarian State Railway . It is to be dismantled and used as a spare parts donor for the signal boxes in Harsdorf and Trebgast , which are being transferred to a museum. The barriers were still operated fully mechanically in 2012.

The station's area of ​​responsibility includes a garbage loading station and a tank loading station in Bayreuth's urban area, which, however, is no longer used after the military has withdrawn from Bayreuth and the surrounding area.

Streets

Former federal highway 2 in Bindlach

The Bundesautobahn 9 cuts through Bindlach and separates the western, mainly built-up area between the 1950s and 1970s, from the rest of the village. Bindlach has only had its own junction since the early 1990s, when the Bayreuth motorway triangle and the makeshift junction directly south of the triangle were expanded as part of the expansion of the A 9. Until then, this had only been available to the American troops on the Bindlacher Berg.

Until the A 9 was expanded to six lanes, the motorway between Bindlach and the Bayreuth-Nord junction was the last avenue in Germany. In the meantime, the route has been replanted with young trees on both sides.

State road 2460 (until 2015: Bundesstraße 2 ) runs through the center of Bindlach and through the district of Benk .

Bayreuth airfield on the Bindlacher Berg

air traffic

The Bayreuth- Bindlacher Berg airfield is located on the Bindlacher Berg and was integrated into the Lufthansa network until 2002 (Frankfurt (M) - Bayreuth - Hof line). Today it is mainly used for business aviation and as a gliding center.

military

Until the beginning of the 1990s, there was the American military base Christensen Barracks on the Bindlacher Berg , which secured the borders with the GDR and Czechoslovakia, which were only 70 kilometers away. The base was called "The Rock" by the soldiers because of its location high above the town. After the withdrawal of the American troops, the area was taken over by the municipality of Bindlach and converted and expanded into what is now the Bindlacher Berg district.

Culture and sights

Regular events

  • The Bärnkerwa takes place in August, at the beginning of which a Kerwabursch disguised as a dancing bear moves through the entire village to the sports field in the forest with a large participation of the population. The origin of the custom is a story that is said to have happened around 1880: Back then, the Bindlachers, startled by the news that an allegedly tame dancing bear had gotten along in the village, went on the hunt, but instead of a bear they killed a cow to have. The actual embarrassment was cleverly reinterpreted as a heroic deed, after all, the village had stuck together in the hour of need.

The two previous seasons could both be finished fourth.

Others

So-Da-Brücke near the Ramsenthal district in April 2012

The So-Da bridge between Bindlach and Ramsenthal, which replaces a rail-level crossing of State Road 2183 over the Bayreuth-Neuenmarkt-Wirsberg railway line, gained national fame . After it became clear that the subsoil of the planned access ramps was swampy and was located in a water protection area and the costs had almost tripled, further construction was halted for three years. The isolated bridge threatened to become an investment ruin , even its demolition was requested. Work finally resumed in spring 2012. By October 2012, the road embankment leading to the bridge, for which 1705 concrete piles had to be driven into the ground, was almost completed. On October 14, 2013, the bridge, whose construction costs had risen from 3.7 to 9.5 million euros, was opened to traffic.
