Tüchersfeld is a church village in the Püttlachtal in Franconian Switzerland and belongs to the town of Pottenstein .

geography

Due to its distinctive rocks ( sponge reefs in conical karst forms ) of a circulating mountain , created by uplifting the Franconian Jura in the Young Tertiary and the removal of the mighty sand cover from the Upper Cretaceous, and the location of the half-timbered houses, which seem to be partially glued to the rocks, Tüchersfeld is considered one Symbol for Franconian Switzerland and is depicted on a Deutsche Post stamp. Two castles existed there until the Thirty Years' War , the Upper and the Lower Castle . The latter was first mentioned in 1269 as a fortress that had existed for a long time.

Geotope

The rock castle has been designated by the Bavarian State Office for the Environment (LfU) as a geoscientifically valuable geotope (geotope number: 472R156). It was also awarded the official seal of approval for Bavaria's most beautiful geotopes by the LfU .

history

Tüchersfeld is the oldest settlement in the large community of Pottenstein, which was first mentioned in 1243. Two castles in Tüchersfeld are known from 1323. Oberntüchersfeld , of which there are hardly any traces left, was on the flagstone. Niederntüchersfeld , which was built after Oberntüchersfeld Castle, is known today as the Judenhof. In 1323 an office was set up in part of Oberntüchersfeld Castle.

In 1442 the bishop of Bamberg pledged the office and castle of Oberntüchersfeld to Heinrich Gareis. From 1329 to 1959, Niederntüchersfeld was almost exclusively owned by various branches of the Groß family, was destroyed by rebellious farmers in 1525, but then rebuilt. The castle came to an end with the Thirty Years' War. Except for the outbuildings, it was destroyed.

The former Judenhof, a group of buildings from the 17th and 18th centuries, built by Jews on the grounds of the Lower Castle, was inhabited by 18 Jewish families until 1860. It was repaired from 1978 to 1982 and is now the Franconian Switzerland Museum . The synagogue from the second half of the 18th century (around 1763) is remarkable with its simple late baroque stucco frame on the ceiling; After decades of misappropriation, little can still be seen of the former design.
