history

Until the 19th century

The city was first mentioned in a document in 1109 and was already a market with city rights in the Middle Ages. The market was the seat of one of the seven courts of the Parkstein-Weiden community office , in which the Parksteiner Landrichter ruled together with twelve jury in cases of high and low jurisdiction . From 1714 the place belonged completely to the Duchy of Palatinate-Sulzbach , in 1777 it came to Kurbayern . Between 1806 and 1837, Erbendorf was part of the Bavarian Obermainkreis, as was the whole of today's Tirschenreuth district , the city of Weiden in the Upper Palatinate and a large part of today's Neustadt an der Waldnaab district . The formal town elevation took place by King Ludwig I on June 6, 1842.

In the last 450 years or so, the city fell victim to fire seven times. The first major fire that can be documented was in 1568, there were further fires in 1596, 1676, 1771 and 1796. The last town fires were in 1832 and 1835.

coat of arms

Blazon: Black eagle on a golden background, with red weapons (beak / claws) and a red princely hat.

The coat of arms has been known since the 15th century. It is unclear who awarded it. The Salbuch of the Parkstein Office from 1416 doesn't know anything about its origin either: “… the Erndorff statute is free and also with a whole eagle that sy have been given to sigl and domit by a Roman emperor, the same briff and freedom are jn all of them bankrupt and now have khein sealed briff ”.

The coat of arms is likely to have been awarded in the 12th century, when Erbendorf was directly owned by the Empire, although it cannot be ruled out that this was done by Emperor Friedrich Barbarossa himself. The prince's hat is of later origin.

Museums

The mining and local history museum in Erbendorf was opened in 1995.

Buildings

Rathaus Erbendorf
Former district court of Erbendorf
There are only a few reliable data on the early construction history of the Catholic parish church of the Assumption. The first time was God's house in 1416 mentioned. A stone tablet with the inscription "Anno 1474 inceptio chori" reminds of the start of construction of the choir in 1474. The great city fires also destroyed the church several times. After the fire of 1771, the church was rebuilt on top of the long-standing nave with great financial sacrifice on the part of the population. But this church also burned down in 1796. While retaining the surrounding walls of the late Gothic choir, the new building was quickly raised and inaugurated in 1799. In 1866 the old tower was torn down to the first floor and converted into a sacristy . The new church tower was built between 1865 and 1866 with a height of 63.5 m in the forms of neo-Romanesque. After the dissolution of the Simultaneum at the beginning of the 20th century, there was a fundamental redesign in the sense of New Baroque . On the organ of the parish church, Max Reger composed and tried out his morning star fantasy in 1899 (“How beautifully shines the morning star”). After a few technical changes to the organ in the past, it now shows considerable defects. On November 20, 2010, the organ building association parish Mariä Himmelfahrt Erbendorf e. V. founded, which pursues the goal of making a new organ possible through donations.
  • Martin Luther Church
After the dissolution of the Simultaneum, the evangelical community built a new church. To do this, she acquired a plot of land on Bräugasse that was particularly well suited due to its elevated location. Before that there was a malt house at this point. The plans for the new church were made by the architect Karl Brendel from Nuremberg . He avoided the hitherto common church style and tried a contemporary solution. The foundation stone was laid on December 4, 1921. After less than two years of construction, the community celebrated the inauguration. The building material used is sandstone from Schiessenreuth. The building is a symbol for the song A strong castle is our God by Martin Luther .
The construction was accompanied by great worries about advancing inflation . With its enormous dimensions, the building appeared to be far too big for the small parish of the time. But when after 1945 many Protestant refugees found their new home in Erbendorf, the generous planning was praised.
After several trips to Rome, the Catholic pastor Johann Michael Pfreumbter succeeded in 1751 in acquiring the bones of Saint Faustinus , a Roman who is said to have been martyred at the age of 18, for the Loretto Chapel. Pastor Pfreumbter donated the early Mass beneficiary in 1768, the small chapel served as his house chapel. This burned down in 1771 and was replaced by a new building, which was damaged again in the great city fire in 1796. Under the beneficiary Anton Hösl, the chapel was rebuilt by master bricklayer Wolfgang Bauer from 1818 to 1850. The entrance was moved to the east and the sanctuary to the west to enable access from the street. The relic of Faustinus, which the gingerbread maker Johann Baptist Schultes put in wax, rests under the cafeteria of the altar.
The octagonal roof turret above the entrance forms the outer accent of the chapel . The Erbendorfer Loretto Chapel is an example of a largely preserved neo-Gothic facility and is therefore of particular importance in terms of art history. The 15-year-old carpenter's son Johann Tretter had created the original furnishings out of forests. However, the altar was replaced by a new carved altar at the beginning of the 20th century.
  • Windisch Chapel
The field chapel on Tirschenreuther Strasse was built around 1860. For a long time it was owned by the Windisch family, who produced sculptors in Erbendorf several times. Next to the chapel is a 400 year old linden tree. The tree is 22 meters high and has a trunk circumference of approx. Seven meters, the crown width is around 15 meters.
