history

Origin, name and development

Hersbruck, Wassertor, 1920

Hersbruck was first mentioned in 976 when a castle was built on the site of a bridge. The name of the city is probably derived from Haderihesprucga , the bridge of the Haderich. The deer on the bridge shown in the city arms is therefore to be assumed as a misrepresentative picture .

Hersbruck Castle was owned by Heinrich von Schweinfurt , the margrave of the Bavarian Nordgau , since 994 . In its place, the Hersbruck Castle was built in 1517 as the seat of the Nuremberg Nursing Office .

In the Middle Ages, the city was on the Golden Road from Nuremberg to Prague , which gave it an economic boom. In 1297 Hersbruck was granted city rights. In the late Middle Ages, Hersbruck belonged to the territory of the Dukes of Bavaria-Landshut, fell to the imperial city of Nuremberg in the Landshut War of Succession in 1504 and came back to Bavaria in 1806 when most of Franconia fell to the Kingdom of Bavaria .

From the 19th century

With the construction of the railway line Nuremberg - Hersbruck - Schwandorf by the Royal Privileged Actiengesellschaft der Bavarian Ostbahnen in 1859, Hersbruck was connected to the railway network and experienced a great economic boom. Around the train station, which at that time was about a kilometer south, between fields and meadows outside the city, a new residential area with numerous industrial companies was built. Today this southern part of the city, the Ostbahn or Alte Bahn , has long grown together with the old town, connected by the longest street in the Hersbruck urban area, Ostbahnstraße .

During National Socialism , the Hersbruck subcamp of the Flossenbürg concentration camp was located in the city from 1944 to 1945 . It was located between today's Amberger Strasse and the Pegnitz , right next to the outdoor pool; today there is a tennis court there. The approximately 10,000 concentration camp prisoners, mostly politically persecuted or Jews, worked at the Dogger tunnel in the nearby town of Happurg for an armaments factory in the Houbirg , which was no longer completed. When the US Army approached in April 1945, the prisoners were driven to Dachau on several death marches. Around 4,000 people died in the Hersbruck concentration camp.

After the end of the Second World War , Hersbruck belonged to the American zone of occupation . The military administration set up a DP camp for Latvian displaced persons on the site of the former concentration camp . The camp was looked after by UNRRA (from 1947 IRO ).

Hersbruck was the district seat of the district of Hersbruck until June 30, 1972 and therefore still houses the district court , tax office, forestry office and surveying office. In addition, Hersbruck is the location of a police station and a branch of the district office of Nürnberger Land .

Incorporations

On January 1, 1972, the former municipality of Ellenbach and the Großviehberg district of the municipality of Hohenstadt were incorporated into the city of Hersbruck. On January 1, 1974, part of the Altensittenbach community was added, and on July 1, 1976, the remaining area.

Cittaslow

Hersbruck is the first of now seventeen German Cittàslow cities. The Cittàslow movement is an association of livable cities that emerged from the slow food movement . This association of mostly Italian small towns endeavors to implement the principles of slow food beyond the culinary aspect in urban planning, environmental policy and the promotion of regional traditions and specialties. The SlowCittà does not stand for slow city , but should emphasize the contrast to fast food and thus clarify the goal of the slow food movement - to lead people back to a more conscious and tasteful meal.
