history

The name Etsdorf (also: Ezdorf, Ezstorff, Ezseldorf, Etslsdorf, Ettsdorff, Etschdorff), especially the ending in -dorf, identifies Etsdorf as a village founded in the 9th to 11th centuries of the second wave of settlement in the area around Nabburg.

In the 13th century, Etsdorf belonged to the counts of Gebhard , Rapoto IV and Diepold von Ortenburg - Murach . They sold this property to Duke Ludwig of Upper Bavaria in 1271 as the Wittelsbach family expanded their power to the north . The possessions of the noble vassals were excluded from this sale. The land register from 1285 lists Etsdorf with 23 yards, a mill, two Neugereuthen and another four yards. The latter four farms were in the hands of Heinrich II. Zenger , Ortlieb II. Zenger and Heinrich Geiganter in 1326 . They had remained in their possession when Etsdorf was sold.

The Thirty Years War resulted in a severe population decline. In 1583, Etsdorf had 23 inhabitants, in 1658 it had only twelve inhabitants and in 1712 again 26 inhabitants.

At the end of the 18th century, Etsdorf belonged to the parish of Rottendorf and had 30 residents, a tavern, a mill, two weavers, a miller, a tailor and a blacksmith. It was a separate community, to which in addition to Etsdorf itself also Oberpennadig and Unterpennadig belonged.

In 1842, Etsdorf was a rural community to which, in addition to Etsdorf itself, Kohlmühle, Oberpennading, Rannahof and Unterpennading also belonged. Etsdorf itself had 31 residential buildings, 37 families, 213 residents. All residents were Catholic. Etsdorf had a branch church that belonged to the parish Rottendorf. The Catholic school in Etsdorf had 36 weekday and 32 Sunday students.

As of March 23, 1913 (Easter), Etsdorf was part of the Rottendorf parish and had 43 houses and 262 residents.

On April 1, 1926, the community of Etsdorf was separated from the district office of Nabburg and incorporated into the district office of Amberg.

On December 31, 1990, Etsdorf had 404 inhabitants and was the branch of the parish Rottendorf.

Culture and sights

The branch church of St. Barbara, built on a Gothic complex, was redesigned in Baroque style and expanded in 1994.

In Etsdorf there is a temple museum initiated by the local artist Willi Koch Etsdorf, which was inaugurated in 2010. The house is to be understood as an impulse project for the planned "Glyptothek Etsdorf", a joint effort which, with historical references to the Temple of Aphaia and the Walhalla , is to stand as a symbol for 2500 years of democracy and for the European idea.

The small so-called asphalt chapel , which consists exclusively of mastic asphalt, has stood on the edge of the forest near Etsdorf . Along the way there, which runs between fields, there are cross installations by national and international artists who interpret the central Christian symbol in various ways and thus emphasize its expressiveness. These works of art are also in the tradition of the tortures of earlier times.
