history

Neumarkt in der Oberpfalz had been the seat of the Wittelsbach Count Palatine in the Upper Palatinate since 1410 . Count Palatine Friedrich II had the seat of government moved from Amberg to Neumarkt in 1520 . The Reformation in Neumarkt did not start from a sovereign, but from the people. In 1521 Martin Bucer was involved in reforming in Neumarkt. Frederick II was initially an opponent of the Reformation and in 1524 had Lutheran writings publicly burned on the market square and religious tavern discussions forbidden. In 1525 the estates asked the sovereign for church reforms. Frederick II tolerated the evangelical sermon and the Lord's Supper in both forms from 1538 , probably under the influence of his wife Dorothea . Friedrich II died in 1556. His widow Dorothea ensured that Lutheranism was preserved . Only the court church was Calvinist if the sovereign was. As a forerunner of today's deanery, the Electorate of the Palatinate Neumarkt was established in 1558 .

At that time the following parishes belonged to it: Berg , Berngau , Deining , Dietkirchen , Döllwang , Freystadt , Großalfalterbach , Günching , Hagenhausen , Hausheim , Heng , Hohenfels , Holnstein , Lauterhofen , Lengenfeld , Litzlohe , Möning , Neumarkt , Oberrohrenstadt , Oberwiesenacker , Pavelsbach , Pfaffenhofen , Pölling , Pollanten , Seligenporten , Sindlbach , Staufersbuch , Stöckelsberg , Tauernfeld , Thann , Traunfeld , Utzenhofen , Waldkirchen , Waltersberg , Wappersdorf , Wattenberg , Weidenwang and Wissing . Forchheim and Pelchenhofen were added in 1580 and Ransbach in 1590 . Count Palatine Johann Kasimir led the city of Neumarkt in 1580 and the surrounding area to the Calvinist faith in 1582. The estates filed a lawsuit against this at the Reich Chamber of Commerce and were found to be right. In 1589 there was a major restructuring. The parishes of Berg, Dietkirchen, Hagenhausen, Hausheim, Lauterhofen, Litzlohe, Oberrohrenstadt, Pelchenhofen, Pfaffenhofen, Ransbach and Sindlbach were spun off into the newly established Sindlbach Inspection. The parishes of the Helfenberg district with Günching, Lengenfeld and Oberwiesenacker as well as the parishes of the Holstein district with Großfalterbach, Hohenfels, Holnstein, Pollanten, Staufersbuch, Waldkirchen, Waltersberg (with) Thann, Wattenberg and Wissing formed the newly established Lengenfeld inspection. In the course of the Thirty Years War , the Counter Reformation began in 1625 . In 1626, the Neumarkt superintendent was dissolved as a result. In 1655 the evangelicals who remained were expelled. In the Peace of Westphalia , the Upper Palatinate and the Habsburg hereditary lands were exempted from the provisions of the normal year 1624, so that the re-Catholicization remained here for good.

In 1561, the imperial barons von Wolfstein, lords von Sulzbürg and Pyrbaum and Bernhard von Wolfstein introduced the Reformation into their possessions, known as the Landl . In 1574 Mag. Thomas Stieber became pastor in Sulzkirchen and issued a church ordinance with the Christian Instructio . A superintendent was established at his parish seat. In 1673 the Wolfsteiner Reichsgrafen became . In 1740 the line died out with the death of the last Count Christian Albrecht in the male line and ultimately fell to the Electorate of Bavaria . With nine parishes and eleven church buildings, the Landl formed the nucleus of the Bavarian regional church . In 1777 the Sulzbach area was added. At the beginning of the 19th century, Ortenburg and the Franconian Protestant parishes followed. The Sulzkirchen deanery was moved to Pyrbaum in 1814 and renamed the Pyrbaum deanery in 1827. The parishes of Bachhausen, Oberndorf bei Sulzkirchen, Pyrbaum, Sulzbürg and Sulzkirchen belonged to him. On October 1, 1914, the deanery was renamed to its current name.
