The Evangelical Lutheran Deanery Pappenheim is one of the ten deaneries of the Nuremberg Church District . The seat is in Pappenheim , a town in the central Franconian district of Weißenburg-Gunzenhausen . Acting dean is Wolfgang Popp.

geography

The deanery district is located in the Altmühltal nature park and essentially covers the south-east of the Weißenburg-Gunzenhausen district and the west of the Eichstätt district .

history

It was not until the Reformation that the Pappenheim rulership was able to develop into a closed territory. The rule belonged to the canton Altmühl of the imperial knighthood . In 1628 Gottfried Heinrich zu Pappenheim was raised to the rank of count , but without an imperial rank .

The patronage rights and Prästentationsrechte but were in many places in the spiritual dominions, including the Bishopric of Eichstätt , the monastery of St. Walburg , or the Canons Rebdorf . In Alesheim, Trommetsheim, Theilenhofen and Wachstein, the church sovereignty lay with Pappenheim but was contested by the Ansbach . Conversely, Ansbach had ecclesiastical sovereignty over the parish of Emetzheim in pappenheim territory. The Reformation in the county was hampered by the fact that the head of the family Veit zu Pappenheim (1535–1600) was Imperial Hereditary Marshal of the Emperor . In addition, family members held high spiritual offices. Such was Christoph von Pappenheim 1535-1539 Bishop of Eichstaett , Georg von Pappenheim 1548-1563 Bishop of Regensburg and Matthew von Pappenheim from 1496 canons on pin Ellwangen . The head of the Pappenheim family was bound to the approval of other family members for such important decisions as the introduction of the Reformation. In Pappenheim, the impetus for the Reformation came from the Augustinian hermits . By 1539 almost all monks had left the monastery and some of them had married. The Schmalkaldic War and the acceptance of the Augsburg Interim by Pappenheim initially prevented the new teaching from spreading. The Augsburg Religious Peace also allowed the knighthood to introduce Lutheran teaching. Pappenheim officially declared itself Protestant in 1555. In the Pappenheim rule the transition to the Protestant church system took place gradually. The times at which the evangelical preaching or the sacraments were performed can only be roughly understood: around 1540 in Bieswang, Büttelbronn, Dietfurt, around 1543 in Rehlingen, around 1545 in Dettenheim, Graben, Niederpappenheim and Pappenheim, around 1548 in Neudorf, around 1550 in Suffersheim , 1572 in Langenaltheim. The original parish church in Pappenheim was St. Gallus , which is now owned by the city. The Church of Our Lady became a parish church during the Reformation.

Treuchtlingen became Protestant in 1555. With the general of the Catholic League Gottfried Heinrich zu Pappenheim , Treuchtlingen became Catholic again in 1619. Despite the ban, the Protestant population continued to attend church services in Wettelsheim in Ansbach or in Dietfurt and Schambach, which are local to cardboard. With the Peace of Westphalia , Treuchtlingen came to Ansbach. The first Protestant pastor appears around 1700. The former early mass chapel Beatae Mariae Virginis served as the church. She was in poor shape after the Thirty Years War . Margrave Carl Wilhelm Friedrich had his court architect Johann David Steingruber build a new building, the Margrave Church. Like Solnhofen and Wettelsheim, the upper parish of St. Maria in Markt Berolzheim became Protestant under Ansbach's sovereignty as early as 1528. In the lower parish of St. Michael in Markt Berolzheim , Ansbach was only able to prevail against Eichstätt in 1563. In Bubenheim , too , Ansbach, as sovereign, was the driving force behind the Reformation. In 1528 Bubenheim became Protestant. The patrons were the Fuchs von Bimbach . Their change of denomination led to counter-Reformation efforts between 1627 and 1633, which, however, could be thwarted by Ansbach.

A consistory was set up in 1660 for the paperboard parishes. In 1803 the Prussian communities were given up. On December 7, 1810, a Bavarian deanery was established.
