history

History of the city of Münchberg

→ Main article : History of the city of Münchberg

Münchberg is believed to have been founded around the year 1000. Whether the city, as it can be derived from the name, was founded by monks cannot be proven. During the rule of the von Sparneck family , Münchberg was able to develop into a town and was first mentioned as such in a document in 1298. After a sale it came to the Principality of Bayreuth . From 1500 the city was part of the Franconian Empire . In 1791 Münchberg became Prussian and in 1806 the French army occupied the city. After being sold again, it came to the Kingdom of Bavaria in 1810 . During the Second World War, in 1940 it was the first town in Bavaria to be targeted by an air raid. Until the regional reform , Münchberg was the district town of the district of the same name . In 1972 the city lost this status. On October 19, 1990, one of the largest pile-ups in German history occurred on the A9 in the Münchberger Senke , in which ten people died. Münchberg is known nationwide as a textile town with the textile and design faculty of the Hof University of Applied Sciences as the only Bavarian textile university institution.

Religions

City Church

Since the Reformation, the inhabitants of Münchberg have been almost exclusively Evangelical-Lutheran and are still predominantly today. Only with the construction of the Ludwig-Süd-Nord-Bahn and with the refugees and displaced persons after the Second World War did more Catholics return to the city. Münchberg is the seat of the Münchberg deanery of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Bavaria . The parish church of Peter and Paul is on the church square. In addition to a nursing service, the Protestant Diakonie also operates a children's and youth home and a residential complex for the elderly.

coat of arms

Banner and coat of arms, hoisted flag is not used

• Blazon

Split; front quartered in black and silver, in the silver quarters 2 and 3 the black capital letter M; behind, in silver on a green three-mountain, a black-clad bareheaded monk with a silver rosary in his hands.

• description

Black and silver are symbols for the Hohenzollern - later Brandenburg - sovereigns, the burgraves of Nuremberg , who acquired the goods of the Lords of Sparneck between 1373 and 1384. In the silver fields there is an M , which stands for Münchberg. At the back is a monk on a mountain, which stylizes the name Münchberg, formerly Mönchsberg, as a talking coat of arms .

• history

The city's oldest seal was created around 1384. The fourth blazon was located in a Gothic triangular shield. In 1 and 4 the black letter M was on a silver background, in 2 and 3 the fourth Zollern label. Today's coat of arms was created around 1562 with a shield in large Renaissance forms. The blazon already corresponded to the current one again today. In 1819 the Zollernvierung in the colors black and silver was replaced by the Bavarian state colors blue and silver. In 1907 the city applied for the re-use of the historically correct colors, which the State Ministry of the Royal House refused in 1918 for political reasons. It wasn't until ten years later that the coat of arms was given customs clearance again.

Attractions

In Münchberg there are only a few historical buildings due to the relatively new structure. This is mainly due to the frequent city fires, which almost always destroyed the entire city. The dominant building is the Protestant town church of St. Peter and Paul. It was built in the years 1867–1872 according to plans by Karl Kaufmann as a neo-Gothic sandstone block and is already the sixth church building at this location. The oldest church is the cemetery church Zur Himmelspforte, built in 1745. It stands in the southern part of the city cemetery in front of the city's former walls. The town hall in Ludwigstrasse was built in 1840 by Erhard Krauß and Peter Flessa as a two-storey eaves side house. As early as 1846, Münchberg was connected to the Ludwig-Süd-Nord-Bahn and a train station was built. It was originally planned to be much larger, but due to a lack of funds, it was only designed as a 29-meter-long structure with a loading hall and scales, whereby the “ancient Roman style” desired by King Ludwig was retained. Another striking building is the war memorial on the Rohrbühl. It was erected in 1935 as a memorial to those who died in the First World War. The center of Münchberg is the city center with Lindenstrasse. Surrounded by trees, it lies on the banks of the Pulschnitz stream. However, due to the relocation of various shops to the outskirts of the city, it has lost its former status as a shopping mile. There are regular markets there. The markets have meanwhile been moved to the Pocksparkplatz.

Parks

• The city park is located near the Hochfrankenklinik and the city nursing home. Sculpture exhibitions by various local artists took place there under the motto Art and Culture in the City Park .
• The Hintere Höhe housing estate has a lake, a playground, a soccer field and a public barbecue area.

Sports

Münchberg's municipal utilities operate an indoor and an outdoor pool. There is a tennis court and an indoor tennis center. A fun park enables activities related to the sport of skating . The gymnastics club Münchberg maintains a multi-purpose hall for its various activities, in which concerts and dance events with live bands take place in winter. There is a bowling alley and a shooting range for the Münchberg shooting club. In the Mechlenreuth district , the Münchberg riding and driving club maintains a riding facility. In the hamlet yew is the riding club yew e. V. also represented with a riding facility. The sport of soccer is carried out by the two clubs FC Eintracht Münchberg and ATSV 04 Münchberg-Schlegel. There are several soccer fields and sports facilities.

Regular events

Many festivals and events take place year after year in Münchberg and its rural districts. It starts with the May Festival in the district of Jehsen. It starts the evening before May 1st and usually lasts three days, always accompanied by live bands of different musical styles. Many May hikers from the region combine their hike with a visit to the festival. On Rohrbühl one is Sonnwendfeier held. During the second weekend in July, the Münchberger Wiesenfest takes place on Schützenhausplatz, with all Münchberg clubs marching in on Saturday and the students on Sunday and Monday. Rides and fireworks are part of the program. For a few years now, Friday evening has also been included as the fourth day of this festival especially for young people. A cellar festival takes place in Kreuzberghohlweg on the first Sunday of the summer holidays. In summer there are many smaller festivals and events in the districts. Examples are the village festival in Mechlenreuth and garden festivals in Poppenreuth and Straas. A Siedlerkärwa follows at slightly larger intervals on Friedrich-Ebert-Straße. The Münchberg volunteer fire brigade organizes a garden party on the last weekend in August. Next up is the Münchberg City Festival on the third Sunday in September with a varied program across the city center. The pub night in November concludes.

Economy and Infrastructure

Münchberg's economic situation was primarily dependent on the textile industry . In the context of increasing globalization , local textile companies began to outsource or close down their manufacturing areas. Some companies also stopped doing business entirely. This led to layoffs that could not be compensated immediately by the local labor market. In the end, attempts were made to counteract the increasing loss of trade taxes together with the city of Helmbrechts . In this context, a new industrial park A 9 Mitte was created. The Raumedic AG company settled there. The business tax revenue from this area is shared between the two cities. Some new businesses have settled in Münchberg, such as dm-drogerie markt , Burger King and McDonald’s . The Atelier Goldner Schnitt expanded its company headquarters through an expansion.

traffic

Rail transport

Münchberg was already connected to the German rail network on November 1, 1848 by the Ludwig-Süd-Nord-Bahn , whose construction section was based in Münchberg. With the Deutsche Bahn (DB AG) you can reach Münchberg via the Bamberg – Hof railway line (course book line 850) and the Münchberg – Helmbrechts railway line (course book line 853). Münchberg has its own train station . The Münchberg – Zell railway line has been closed.

Bus transport

Flixbus stops at the Münchberger Autohof on the Berlin-Zurich route.

Road traffic

Münchberg is on the BAB 9 (Munich – Berlin) between the junctions (35) Münchberg-Nord and (36) Münchberg-Süd. The motorway runs west of the city limits. Between the two junction points is the Münchberger Senke , named after the city , in which one of the worst accidents in German road traffic occurred. The Federal Highway 2 runs in a north-south direction, parallel to the BAB 9, from Bayreuth coming after Hof through the urban area. The federal highway 289 runs in a west-east direction through the city area.

energy

In the urban area there are 217 plants for generating electricity from solar energy, the largest is located in the Mechlenreuth district on an area of ​​around 30 hectares with a nominal output of 7 megawatts (MW) (as of the end of 2012). There are also four biomass, one hydropower and 23 wind turbines. An assumed energy requirement of the city of 85,255 MWh per year is offset by a maximum electricity generated from renewable sources of 110,173 MWh per year. The city of Münchberg can thus cover 100% of its energy needs with electricity from renewable energies , given the corresponding output . This high level of supply is primarily due to favorable location factors for wind energy, which has the largest share at 91,985 MWh per year. The further expansion of this carrier is planned, which will increase the proportion of electricity from renewable energies.
