Felsenkeller (Pleinfeld)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In Pleinfeld , a market town in the Weissenburg-Gunzenhausen district in Central Franconia , there are several artificially constructed rock cellars that are registered as architectural monuments in the Bavarian list of monuments by the Bavarian State Office for the Preservation of Monuments .

You are in several groups outside the town center:

  • The largest group is located along the Amselweg, Höbachweg and the Ketschenbuck north of the market fortification not far from the former cemetery (today's old people's home) and originated from the 18th century, sometimes also in the early 20th century. They are listed under the monument number D-5-77-161-37. The street name Kellerweg (not far to the southeast) is derived from the cellar group ( location ).
  • On the ravine east of the town center on the other side of the Swabian Rezat there are several cellars from the 19th and early 20th centuries, including a cellar entrance with a sandstone block border, labeled "1847". They are listed under the monument number D-5-77-161-3 ( location ).
  • There are several rock cellars on Stirner Straße below Bgm.-Fichtner-Straße 1 ( Petruskirche ) on the corner of Amselweg directly in front of the Spalter Tor and the city wall northwest of the market square . They date from the 18th and 19th centuries and are listed under the number D-5-77-161-145 ( location ).

The rock cellars were carved out of sandstone and used to store food or as a beer cellar . Nowadays they are mostly no longer used; many rock cellars are littered and in a desolate condition.
