geography

Geology and topography

Hiltpoltstein lies on the edge of a plateau in Franconian Switzerland . With an altitude between 484 and 515  m above sea level. NHN , the place is one of the highest municipalities in the Forchheim district. The old town lies mainly on the dolomitic facies of the White Jura and has a number of exposed sponge reefs (sponge stumps). The highest of these dolomite rocks in the municipality is the Silberecke, a designated natural monument. At 602  m above sea level NHN , it is the highest point in the Forchheim district, followed by the nearby Stumpfelestein ( 596  m above sea  level ) and from Bitzenberg ( 586  m above sea  level ). To the east of the village, the main reef range of Rupprechtstegen runs in a north-south direction , whose banked dolomites form a plateau. In the municipal area (with incorporated places), the dolomite of the White Jura and some of the quartz-rich Alblehme share the area in roughly equal parts. Alblehme dominate between Hiltpoltstein (main town) and Kappel, the same in Kemmathen and on the plateau to the west. Geological remains from the Upper Cretaceous are locally limited to the east of the main town , mainly in the form of the Kallmünzer . Some of them are quite large boulders made of silicified sandstone .

The municipality covers an area of ​​2562 hectares. The neighboring communities are Obertrubach , Graefenberg , Betzenstein and Simmelsdorf . The townscape is shaped by Hiltpoltstein Castle on a dolomite rock rising about 20 meters at 530  m above sea level. NHN .

Community structure

The Hiltpoltstein market 12 districts (population in brackets, as of January 2019):

In the course of the regional reform in Bavaria on May 1, 1978, the previously independent municipality of Kappel with the districts of Kemmathen, Großenohe, Schossaritz and Almos was incorporated. In addition, Lilling ceded the districts of Wölfersdorf and Erlastrut to Hiltpoltstein, and Obertrubach the district of Möchs.

Prehistory and early history

There are a number of archaeological sites in the municipality . The oldest objects found are Mesolithic chert blades at Erlastruth that about v to 6500th Are to be dated. Two late Neolithic ax blades made of polished amphibolite were found near Grossenohe (around 3500–2800 BC). A leveled burial mound field from the Hallstatt period north of Kemmathen is entered as a ground monument in the Bavarian list of monuments , which became known through the discovery of a completely preserved bronze sword (Hallstatt C) in 1926. In the course of land consolidation in 1997, a partially preserved Hallstatt D1 grave mound was excavated. At the southern border of the municipality of Simmelsdorf there are a total of eleven burial mounds from the Hallstatt period, four of which were archaeologically examined in the 1990s. The section fortification Burggraf on the northwestern edge of the municipality is probably of prehistoric origin.

Several funnel pit fields for mining stone ore are located to the west and northwest of the village of Kappel. Slag indicates iron smelting sites on site, but the timing is unclear. Little is known about the prehistoric and early historical settlement of the main town Hiltpoltstein.

middle Ages

The oldest object found on the plateau of the castle rock is a late Ottonian disc brooch made of bronze, which is dated to the end of the 10th or the first quarter of the 11th century. In 1109, "Hilteboldesdorf cum castro" was first mentioned in a document as the property of the Weißenohe monastery (cf. corresponding section on the castle ). The Lords of Hiltpoltstein-Rothenberg, as ministerials in the Holy Roman Empire, appointed the castle bailiff . The family was first documented in 1139 as "Odalricus quidam de Hilteboldestein" (Ulrich von Hiltpoltstein). Since 1188 the castle has been under the feudal rule of the Staufer , who with a document from 1205 left the monastery of Weißenohe with the election of bailiffs. Documents between 1246 and 1276 name a Reichsministerial Hiltpold after the three associated mansions Lauf ( Wenzelschloss ), the castle on the "Old Rothenberg" and Hiltpoltstein. In 1251 he was called "Hilteboldus de Hilteboldestein", 1254 "Hiltepoldus de Rotenberge". The guiding name Hiltpold was retained throughout the Staufer period. From the last Staufer Emperor Konradin , the fiefs and hereditary estates in the Nordgau passed to the Bavarian Duke Ludwig the Strengen in 1268 . In 1275 Hiltpoltstein was the seat of a ducal Bavarian office that comprised nine places. When Emperor Ludwig the Bavarian shared the Wittelsbach estate with his brother's heirs in the Pavia house contract in 1329 , the castle fell to the Electoral Palatinate .

Under Bohemian rule (1353–1503)

On October 29, 1353, the so-called Hagenau purchase contract for 12,000 marks of silver was concluded between Count Palatine Ruprecht and the Bohemian King and later Roman-German Emperor Charles IV , with which Hiltpoltstein was sold to the Kingdom of Bohemia together with other places . With the Bohemian occupation, a maintenance office with a high court was established at the castle . In addition to Erlangen , Hiltpoltstein was one of the most north-westerly exclaves of the territorial structure known as " New Bohemia " in the second half of the 14th century . The place is listed in the Bohemian Salbuch from 1366/68 as "Hilpoldstein".

As a successor to Charles IV, King Wenceslas pawned the castle in 1397 to the Bohemian entrepreneurs Herdegen and Peter Valzner , who were promoted to the Nuremberg patrician class shortly afterwards . Despite the influence of the imperial city that began with it, Hiltpoltstein remained formally the property of the Bohemian crown. In contrast, most of the other New Bohemian towns were recaptured or ceded to the Electoral Palatinate around 1400. This also included Auerbach in the Upper Palatinate with the regional court responsible until then. The regional jurisdiction subsequently also changed to Nuremberg.

By marrying Regina Valzner, heir daughter of Peter Valzner, in 1408 the knight Friedrich von Seckendorff came into pledge ownership of the town and castle. In a document from King Sigismund , issued on September 21, 1417, his father Friedrich von Seckendorff, court master of the Nuremberg burgrave , received the market rights for the village "to Hipoltzstain" and the privilege to fortify it. Two gates were built at the east and west exit of the village, which were otherwise surrounded by densely planted hedges. Today only the eastern "Upper Gate", which was converted into a guard house in 1527, is preserved. The place and castle came under the power of Albrecht Achilles during the First Margrave War , and on July 22nd, 1449, Nuremberg troops burned down the "village under the Hiltpoltstein". The noble family of Seckendorffers kept the castle in lien until 1503.

Imperial City Period (1503–1806)

In anticipation of Bavarian-Palatinate inheritance disputes , Puta von Schwihau and Riesenberg , the highest judge of the Kingdom of Bohemia, bought the castle from the Seckendorff family for 3,600 guilders in 1503 with the consent of King Vladislav II . At the same time negotiations were started with the imperial city of Nuremberg , which was interested in taking over Hiltpoltstein in order to round off its lands. The price of the Pfandbrief , which the imperial city paid in October 1503 for the castle and town of Hiltpoltstein, was 6,000 guilders. The purchase was necessary because the place was not Palatinate and therefore could not be won for the imperial city by conquest. In the same year the castle became the seat of a nursing office in Nuremberg .

Under the protection of the imperial city, Hiltpoltstein was spared the peasant war. The question of whether there was any destruction during the Second Margrave War is controversial . On May 21, 1552 the castle was captured by the margrave war captain Wilhelm von Stein and four weeks later it was recaptured by troops from the imperial city under Martin Schrimpf. In 1560, Emperor Ferdinand I , who was also King of Bohemia, signed a contract with the imperial city to continue the pledge for another 25 years in return for the payment of 1,500 thalers . In 1612, Emperor Matthias enfeoffed the Hiltpoltstein office with the jurisdiction of the market and maintenance office, including high jurisdiction . The place of execution was on the Galgenbühl ( 511  m above sea  level ) south of the village, near the district of Görbitz. In 1624, Emperor Ferdinand II transferred the pledge ownership of Markt and Hiltpoltstein Castle to the city of Nuremberg as a Bohemian fief. When the alleged elevation to the city in 1631 it was a mistake with the Middle Franconian Hilpoltstein . Up until the end of the 18th century, all imperial documents for the appointment of new governors name the market Hiltpoltstein. Until the second half of the 19th century, there was always a risk of confusion if the spelling was not fixed, which is probably due to an alleged "downgrading to a market town" dated 1809.

Severe destruction and pillage of the place are documented for the Thirty Years' War in 1631, 1633 and 1635. Many buildings in the old town, such as the rectory and school house, were rebuilt on the old foundations at the end of the Thirty Years' War around 1650. At this time, Nuremberg became the full owner of the place through further payments and thus had all sovereign rights .

In 1792 a Prussian post office was set up in Hiltpoltstein on the route between Bayreuth and Nuremberg.

Recent history (since 1806)

Hiltpoltstein (steel engraving by Alex Marx, 1843)

In 1806, Hiltpoltstein was incorporated into the Kingdom of Bavaria , like the entire Nuremberg region, by the Rhine Confederation Act . From 1808 to 1810 Hiltpoltstein belonged to the district court of Graefenberg im Pegnitzkreis , from 1810 to the Rezatkreis and from 1817 to the Obermainkreis .

With the formation of regional courts , the nursing offices were replaced, so that the nursing palace was no longer used as an official residence since 1808. The upper castle had been orphaned as a residence since the 18th century. The “lower” (western) city gate was demolished in 1822. The state sold the castle to private individuals. In the decades that followed, it became severely neglected. In 1841 King Ludwig I thwarted the planned demolition of the dilapidated castle. After it was returned to royal Bavarian ownership, it was renovated in 1843 and then the seat of the local forest administration.

The castle has been privately owned again since 1966.

religion

West view of the town center with St. Matthew's Church and Castle

Most of the inhabitants of Hiltpoltstein are Evangelical Lutheran .

The oldest parish church was in Rüsselbach, ten kilometers away . In 1414, in what is now the district of Kappel, at that time an independent place, the St. Agatha chapel, which had existed since the 12th century, was elevated to a parish church in order to unite the residents of Hiltpoltstein, Großenohe, Wölfersdorf, Görbitz, Lilling and Kemmathen as well as the residents of Kappel to enable less arduous church attendance. The chapel, raised to the parish church, was founded by the patrons Ehrenfried von Seckendorff and Herdegen Valzner and endowed with 400 Rhenish guilders . From then on she had parochial rights over baptisms and burials in the named places.

The Chapel of the Holy Embers was built in Hiltpoltstein between 1460 and 1465. In this previous building of the later parish church, the Kappel pastor said mass three times a week until the Reformation . The Reformation was implemented quickly in the Nuremberg possessions and in part against the resistance of the population, but the chapel did not offer enough space for the Lutheran congregation. Martin Glaser, a friend of Martin Luther , preached there for the first time in 1527. Before his conversion he was a monk and preacher in the Augustinian monastery in Nuremberg . The Kappel Church was closed at the time, as the place belonged to the Fraiss of the Burgrave von Rothenberg and was an enclave in the Reformed Nuremberg area. The last Catholic pastor left Kappel in 1535 and the church fell into disrepair until the last remains of the wall were torn down in the 19th century.

The current parish church of St. Matthew was built above the nave of the chapel (see section Sights: Parish Church ). To the south of this are the rectory (Hinterer Berg 1) and the Protestant parish hall (Hinterer Berg 3a).

coat of arms

Hiltpoltstein coat of arms
 Blazon : “Diagonally divided by gold and red; on top a split shield, in the front in gold a half, red-tongued black eagle at the gap, at the back divided diagonally five times by red and silver. "

The oblique division of gold and red shows the coat of arms of the Lords of Hiltpoltstein - Rothenberg , who were ministerials in the Holy Roman Empire at the time of the Staufer ministerials . After the marriage of the last Hiltpold's heir to Dietrich I von Wildenstein, the Rothenberg line of the Wildenstein family took over the coat of arms at the end of the 13th century. The shield with the Nuremberg coat of arms refers to Hiltpoltstein's affiliation to the imperial city of Nuremberg from 1503 to 1806. Place seals with the Nuremberg coat of arms in the shield have only been known since the early 17th century. The oldest known seal has the inscription "DES MARCKTS HILTPOLTSTEIN INSIG" and the coat of arms in the design that is still valid today. After the imperial city of Nuremberg was incorporated into the Kingdom of Bavaria in 1806, the Nuremberg coat of arms disappeared again from the Hiltpoltstein official seal.

Parish Church of St. Matthew

The Protestant parish church of St. Matthew, a hall church with a saddle roof , retracted choir and tower, was built between 1617 and 1626. Since the Sankt Agatha chapel in Kappel collapsed around 1612/13, the keepers had the two bells brought to Hiltpoltstein for the new building. The Gothic winged altar (painted around 1420 by an unknown master) comes from the Dominican monastery in Nuremberg , which was dissolved around 1550. The interior of the church was donated by Nuremberg patrician families, who had provided the governors since the early 16th century. This includes the octagonal baptismal font with a scallop relief (around 1626), which bears the coat of arms of the Imhoff patrician family in the base . One of the special features was a Protestant confessional (around 1700), which is no longer preserved today.

After destruction in the Thirty Years' War , from which Hiltpoltstein was badly affected between 1631 and 1635, the church was restored between 1644 and 1651. The tower next to the western front was built in 1680, and between 1699 and 1706 the nave was also raised. The ship was extended to the south in 1754 and an onion hood was added to the tower. The tower ball contains documents from 1841 to the present day (last renovation of the church roof in 2016).
