geography

Enkering is located in the west of the district of Kinding at 380  m above sea level. NHN , embedded between the Schellenberg ( 495  m above sea level ) to the east and the Schlossberg ( 510  m above sea level ) to the north-west of the village. The village is drained by the Anlauter, which runs in a north-south direction . The Altmühltal junction is located about 500 m south of the federal motorway 9 . The ICE high-speed line Nuremberg – Ingolstadt – Munich runs parallel there , as is the case on most of the A 9.

history

The first documentary mention of the place as "Antkeringa" comes from a deed of donation dated July 26th, 900. Since the 12th century to the middle of the 13th century, a noble family of grandchildren is often mentioned. The current landmark of Enkering - the Rumburg ruins - was built between 1350 and 1360. This castle was to become the center of a new town called "Rumburg"; appropriate renaming plans for Enkering failed however. In 1374, Emperor Karl IV granted the Regensburg bishop Heinrich IV von Absberg the right to fortify Enkering, hold a weekly market and build a place of execution. In 1546 Hans Joachim von Absberg sold the place with the Rumburg to the Eichstätter Prince-Bishop Moritz von Hutten .

During the witch hunt in the Eichstätt monastery , at least two women from Enkering were accused of being alleged witches and sentenced to death in 1603.

In the Leuchtenberg era, Markt Enkering in 1821, belonging to the Kipfenberg rulership , consisted of 58 houses, inhabited by 71 families with a total of 279 people.

On April 1, 1971, Enkering was incorporated into the Kinding market.

The Rumburg near Enkering
  • The Catholic parish church of Sankt Ottmar at the foot of the Schellenberg is a new building, presumably from 1617. The square tower closes with a gable roof between stepped gables, which were typical for the Altmühl area. In 1738 the church was supplemented by a stucco ceiling by Franz Xaver Horneis and ceiling paintings with scenes from the life of the patron saint by Joseph Dietrich . In 1875 the nave was extended to the west. The four-column high altar and the pulpit were built around 1700, the side altars in 1717 in Baroque style; the organ case comes from the early Rococo era around 1740 (the organ was installed by the company WRK from Munich in 1991). The Madonna on the right side altar, St. Augustine on the pulpit cover and St. Wolfgang on the right side wall date from the late Gothic period . - The walling of the cemetery around the church dates from the 12th and 13th centuries and was used for fortification purposes earlier; it has not been preserved in its full amount.
  • Other religious buildings are from the Baroque originating Hofmeier Chapel on the way to Rumburk and Hauf Chapel . A church of St. Nicholas that stood in the middle of the village has gone.
  • The two-story rectory with its broken hip roof was built in 1757. The coat of arms of Eichstatt Prince-Bishop Martin von Schaumberg can be found on its facade .
  • The Rumburg - built between 1350 and 1360 by the Absberg family, who replaced the Enkeringer family at the end of the 13th century - had a main castle made of quarry stones with a floor plan of a narrow trapezoid with a width of approx. 23 m and a length of about 45 m and a height of around 17 m. In addition to the main castle, the area created at that time included the chapel “St. Georg ”(mentioned in 1480 and 1601) and an outer bailey with a farmyard in front of which nothing is preserved today. A deep moat ran between the main and outer bailey, spanned by a wooden bridge. At the beginning of the 16th century, a large part of the main castle fell victim to a fire caused by arson . Due to a high debt burden, the owners sold the castle and village to the Eichstätt monastery in 1546. After the sale, there was no reconstruction, but the castle complex gradually fell into disrepair. Only minor repairs to the Rumburg from 1937 to 1939 brought salvation. In 1964 and for the last time from 2003, further renovation measures were carried out; the facility is open to the public.
  • The Schellenberg (also: Schellenburg) above Enkering was a fortified hilltop settlement used by a social elite from the early Stone Age (5,000 BC) to around 800 BC. The height of the settlement was in the Bronze Age around 1300 BC. The settlement on the Schellenberg was briefly continued in the early Middle Ages (7th / 8th centuries), presumably in a fortified homestead. The first excavations were carried out in 1913 by Friedrich Winkelmann , the last excavations in 2007 by archeology students from the University of Würzburg . - Today there is a transmitter mast on the mountain. Since 1994 there has been an archaeological educational trail on the Schellenberg about settlement in the Urnfield Period (2.5 hours walking time). A railway tunnel, the " Schellenberg Tunnel " , runs through the mountain .

Personalities

Memorial plaque in memory of Pastor Sebastian Mutzl
  • The Nazarene artist and art collector Sebastian Mutzl was a pastor in Enkering from 1866 to 1917. Around 1875 he created ceiling paintings in his parish church, which were removed in 1953/54 in favor of the Baroque frescoes below. Other pieces of equipment created by him were also removed. A plaque commemorates him on the south side of the parish church. The modern footbridge across the Anlauter opposite the church is also named after him.
  • Franz Xaver Sutor , pastor among others in Enkering from 1744 to 1825, author of various writings, including a Chronica Enkeringensia .
