Ensemble Auerbach in the Upper Palatinate
The Auerbach ensemble in the Upper Palatinate comprises the historically built-up area of Auerbach in the Upper Palatinate , a town in the Upper Palatinate district of Amberg-Sulzbach . The ensemble is a protected architectural monument .
description
The ensemble includes the long street market and, to the east of the parish church of St. Johann Baptist, the presumed core of the village of Auerbach, which belonged to the Michelfeld monastery . After the monastery moved its market there in 1144 and founded a church, the approximately triangular-shaped Upper Market was laid out in front of the parish church.
The subsequent stretched Lower Market in the form of a street market is the result of the first city expansion, which took place around 1300 and is probably related to the fact that from 1373 Auerbach had become the capital of the New Bohemian territory in the Upper Palatinate.
The central architecture has been the free-standing town hall built in sections 1418, 1524 and 1551 since the late Gothic period .
The development of both marketplaces consists predominantly of three-storey eaves breeches from the 19th century, some of which have an older structure inside. With the demolition of the former town clerk, which served as the town hall before 1418 , the high structure of the church was freed and the eastern end of the square was broken open.
As a continuation of the fronts of the upper market square, Dr.-Heinrich-Stromer-Straße forked into the church district. The development between Pfarrstrasse and Dr.-Heinrich-Stromer-Strasse is more fragmented and more irregular than on the market square and on the outside of the two streets.
