history

Until the church is planted

Hahnbach was first mentioned in 1121. The Hahnbach market belonged to the Amberg Rent Office and the Amberg Regional Court of the Electorate of Bavaria . Hahnbach had a market court with its own magistrate rights.

By the first Bavarian community edict, Hahnbach was assigned to the tax district and the district court of Amberg and thus to the Naab district in 1808 . After the Naabkreis was dissolved in favor of the Mainkreis and the Regenkreis , Hahnbach was assigned to the Regenkreis in 1810 together with the Amberg District Court (from 1838 "Upper Palatinate and Regensburg").

Hahnbach became an independent political municipality in 1818 through the second Bavarian municipal edict.

Vilseck District Court

The district court Vilseck was founded in 1838, to which Hahnbach, together with the tax communities of Adlholz , Ehenfeld , Gibbach , Gressenwöhr , Großschönbrunn , Iber, Irlbach , Langenbruck , Massenricht , Schalkenthan , Schlicht , Seugast , Sigl , Süß and Vilseck was assigned and removed from the district court Amberg .

Incorporations

In the course of the administrative reforms in Bavaria , with the municipal edict of 1818, the original municipality of Hahnbach was created, which was created by the incorporation of Adlholz, Iber, Süß and part of Irlbach on April 1, 1971, of Ursulapoppenricht and parts of Großschönbrunn and Mimbach on January 1, 1972 and part of Kötzersricht was enlarged on July 1, 1972.

Religions

The majority of the population is Catholic. The spiritual center is the parish church of St. Jakobus in Hahnbach. The parish of St. Jakobus includes branch churches with regular services in Iber (St. Konrad), Suss (St. Bartholomäus) and other, smaller chapels in Luppersricht, Dürnsricht, Kümmersbuch and Schalkenthan.

The parish of St. Ursula in the Ursulapoppenricht part of the parish forms a pastoral care unit with the parish of Gibbach. The Catholics of the Oberschalkenbach, Unterschalkenbach, Mülles and Kreuzberg parish belong to the Schlicht parish , Adlholz to the Vilseck parish and Ölhof to the Großschönbrunn parish .

At the time of the Reformation , the place was completely Protestant, as was most of the Upper Palatinate. In the Thirty Years' War Hahnenbach was re-Catholicised. It was only in the 1920s that Protestants began to settle again, primarily through the influx of expellees and new citizens. Currently around 10 percent of the population are evangelicals. Protestant church services have been held in Hahnbach since 1949 and have been celebrated in the cemetery chapel for decades. In 1991 a support association of the Evangelical Community Center was founded, through whose initiative the Andreas Raselius House was built between 1995 and 1997 on the area of the large children's playground. The Protestant parish is now organizationally looked after by the Christ Church in Sulzbach-Rosenberg.

Between 1988 and 2018 the market grew from 4,639 to 4,920 by 281 inhabitants or 6.1%.

coat of arms

Hahnbach has had a coat of arms since the 15th century. In 1964 it was renewed.

Official description of the coat of arms

"In gold, a blue wavy bar in the base of the shield, a red rooster standing on it, covered with a narrow bar roughened in two rows of silver and blue."

Heraldic symbols and heraldic history

As early as 1508, Hahnbach's own coat of arms seal was certified. It is a talking coat of arms , that is, the pictured rooster and the brook speak for the name of the village. In addition, the rooster points to the aristocratic Hannbeck family, who ruled Hahnbach until the second half of the 14th century, before the market went to the Palatinate electors. The bar with the white and blue diamonds is a symbol of power for the Wittelsbach family. The beam has been left out since the beginning of the 19th century. In 1964 it reverted to its early 16th century shape.

Culture and sights

Buildings

Amberg Gate

Hahnbach's landmark is the medieval market gate, called Amberger Tor . It is the only gate of the former three-gate fortification that has been preserved in its original substance today. On the tapering ridge of the Amberger Tor there is a stork nest , which is occupied by a pair of storks every year.

Upper gate and Radlträger monument

The eastern, upper market gate was demolished in 1975 because it was dilapidated and rebuilt in 1990 for the requirements of modern road traffic, so that the town center has an architectural finish again. In front of the upper gate, the so-called Radlträger-Monument by Peter Kuschel (erected in 1994) reminds of the paving of the thoroughfare that existed until the 1960s. The Hahnbachers always had to let outsiders hold their bad condition against them. Cyclists passing through took their vehicle demonstratively on their shoulders.
