history

Barrows from the Hallstatt period have been found near Heiligenkreuz .

In the 12th century the hamlet was called Neunkirchen or Neuenkirchen, which means "new church". The hamlet was a so-called royal village. In 1194 one of his estates was sold to the Schottenkloster in Eichstätt . In 1305, when the Counts of Hirschberg and Count Gebhard VII died out, the village fell back to the Reich as a settled imperial fief and from then on was under the administration of the imperial empire, from 1534 with its seat in Weißenburg in Bavaria . In 1629, when the administration of the Reich was briefly transferred to the Eichstätt prince-bishop, six estates were inhabited here and two farms were empty. In 1638 the hamlet was destroyed in the Thirty Years War . In 1651 the administration of the Reich fell back to Weißenburg. The royal villages that remained Catholic, such as Heiligenkreuz, repeatedly had to struggle with problems under the Protestant city of Weißenburg; so Heiligenkreuz was split into two camps according to faith. After lengthy negotiations between Weißenburg and Eichstätt, a settlement was reached in 1664. The disputes continued, however, until an imperial commission finally came to Weißenburg in 1679 and managed to divide the administration of the Empire, as a result of which the Catholic villages were assigned to the Eichstätter Hochstift.

Before thus ended the Imperial City on July 20, 1680 and "Holy Cross" finally came to the Bishopric of Eichstätt, all seven estates were the Augustinian Canons monastery Rebdorf lehenbar . From then on, Heiligenkreuz was subject to the Titting-Raitenbuch maintenance and governance office until the end of the Old Kingdom.

After secularization , Heiligenkreuz and Petersbuch were incorporated into the rural community of Kaldorf from 1808 . From 1818 came the separation from Kaldorf; Petersbuch received together with Heiligenkreuz the status of an independent political community. In 1879 the community came after variously changed district divisions (1806–1810: Altmühlkreis , 1810–1817: Oberdonaukreis , 1817–1838: Rezatkreis ) to the newly formed district office Hilpoltstein (from 1838: administrative district Middle Franconia ). After its dissolution in the course of the Bavarian regional reform in 1972, the Petersbuch community initially remained independent, now in the Upper Bavarian district of Eichstätt. On May 1, 1978, the company gave up its independence when Petersbuch joined the Titting market to the northeast in the Anlautertal.

The population was around 50 in the 19th century and peaked at around 70 after the Second World War. Since the 1970s the population has been a little under 50. In 1956 a land consolidation was carried out. In 1983 there were four full-time farms and three part-time farms with 49 inhabitants. In 1999 there were eleven house numbers in the village including the church.

In 1959, the local thoroughfare was tarred for the first time after the sewer system. At that time the village had eight houses.

Buildings

  • Catholic branch church “Kreuzauffindung” : In 1480 it is mentioned as a branch church of Emsing (today it is a branch of the parish of Kaldorf ). In the Middle Ages it was a pilgrimage church dedicated to St. Cross ; Up to 50 pilgrimages are said to have come here every year, 20 of them on the feast of the Exaltation of the Cross alone. In a visitation report from 1601 she is said to be in good shape. In 1639 (and still in 1756) it was consecrated to St. Helena . When Kaldorf was elevated to a parish in 1659, Petersbuch and Heiligenkreuz were separated from Emsing and incorporated into the new parish. In 1664 a collection was carried out to restore the church, which had been damaged in the Thirty Years War . New churches were built in 1770 and 1829; In 1832 the turret, a half-timbered roof turret with a brick helmet, was built; In 2015 the sand-lime brick masonry between the half-timbering was replaced by brick masonry. The furnishings consist of a baroque high altar with a baroque crucifix (around 1700) and other baroque, but also late-Gothic furnishings .
  • Anderbauer Chapel (19th century)
