history

A document from 1282 speaks of goods belonging to the Wolfstein house monastery in Forchheim, Seligenporten . On February 18, 1292, a Chunradus de Geyrsriut sold the Seligenporten monastery a farm in "Vorchaim", as noted in the Regesta Boica . You can also read there that in 1321 “Herman auf dem Pühel zu Vorcheim” has the “Burghof zu Vorcheim” from the Rebdorf monastery as a fief ; this in turn had received it from Ulrich von Soltzpurch (= Sulzbuerg ). In 1326 the canon Konrad von Sulzbürg brought, among other things, a court to Forchheim into the Rebdorf monastery. When in 1369 a contract sealed the separation of property among the Wolfsteiners, goods in Forchheim were assigned to the Wolfstein castle Obersulzbürg , namely two 1/16 yards, as a directory from 1740 shows. Most of the village, 27 courtyards and the parish shepherd's house, were under the Wolfstein rule of Pyrbaum . Until the Reformation , the Freystadt city judge was also responsible for Forchheim; So the Forchheimers had to bring their taxes to the weekly markets there. In 1540 the mayor's office in Neumarkt introduced the Reformation in Forchheim; from 1580 it was a Calvin parish. In 1625 the Counter Reformation brought the re-establishment of the Catholic faith and the “deportation” of the Lutheran school teacher. Forchheim became a branch of the parish Freystadt, but regained independence in 1670 and was reoccupied in 1702. During the Thirty Years War in 1632 half the village, including the parish and school house, burned away; the rectory was rebuilt in 1723 by the master mason JB Camesino from Obermässing . The school and sacristan's house was rebuilt by the community in 1766 and again in 1834 and 1890.

At the end of the Old Kingdom , around 1800, Forchheim consisted of 59 properties, which were subject to the high court of the Neumarkt mayor's office, to their respective manorials in the lower court, and there were nine in number: The largest manor was the electoral cabinet rule Pyrbaum (the Wolfsteiners died out in 1740 and you Ownership passed to the Bavarian Elector as a failed fiefdom ) with 27 properties. The Oberen Hofmark Berngau owned 13 properties, one of which was administered for the Neumarkt alms office. The electoral monastery judge Seligenporten had seven rear seats, the monastery judge Plankstetten three. The Berching Probstamt , the Imperial City of Nuremberg (Altdorf Nursing Office ) and the electoral cabinet rule Sulzbürg each owned two subject properties. One property each belonged to the Hilpoltstein nursing office and the prince-bishop-Eichstatt caste office Jettenhofen . The shepherd's house belonged to the community.

In the new Kingdom of Bavaria (1806), Forchheim became a tax district in the Neumarkt Regional Court and Rent Office, to which Sulzkirchen still belonged. Without Sulzkirchen, the rural community Forchheim was formed in 1811 , which was left as it was with the community edict of 1818. In 1827 it was separated from this regional court and assigned to the Beilngries regional court . This came in 1838 from the Regenkreis to the previous Rezatkreis , which was renamed Middle Franconia . In 1875 the place consisted of 159 buildings, 76 of which were residential buildings. The rural village character is also evident from the livestock: in 1875 there were 30 horses, 385 head of cattle, 475 sheep, 153 pigs and four goats. 25 years later there were officially 17 horses, 457 head of cattle, 171 sheep, 340 pigs and six goats. The sharp increase in pig farming with a simultaneous decline in sheep farming can also be observed in many other Bavarian communities during this period.

After the Second World War , Forchheim had about 418 inhabitants, who were mostly farmers. Others worked as craftsmen and traders.

There is a warehouse about 500 m from the town center. The barracks were built by the Rhein-Main-Donau AG before the Second World War to accommodate the workers for the canal construction in this area. During the war it served as a military training camp . After the war it became a prison camp and later a retirement home that existed until 1953. The first refugees from the Eastern Zone arrived on December 24, 1953. It served as a refugee transit camp until 1956.

When the district of Beilngries was dissolved in the course of the regional reform in Bavaria , Forchheim became part of the district of Neumarkt. On July 1, 1972, the previously independent community was incorporated into Freystadt.
