history
_02.jpg)
Hirschbach was supposedly founded by Charlemagne , but there is no evidence for this. Until 1188 the area around Hirschbach belonged to the Sulzbach county . The first written mention of Hirschbach was in 1225, when a "Reinger de Herisbach" was mentioned in a Nuremberg document ( Nuremberg document book no. 203 ). This proves that the place name is probably not derived from the animal deer, but rather goes back to the personal name Heri. so it means to the brook of Heri. Until 1505 Hirschbach belonged to the Bavarian Wittelsbach family , later to the Duchy of Pfalz-Neuburg or Pfalz-Sulzbach . The imperial city of Nuremberg was also often interested in Hirschbach, probably because of its economic importance (iron and later copper hammer works). In Hirschbach there were already two hammer mills in the 14th century, of which the Upper Hammer still exists as the Hirschbach hammer lock .

The town's church was consecrated to Saint Wolfgang on June 18, 1460 after several years of construction . It has been used simultaneously by the Catholic and Protestant parishes for several years . It was built as a castle chapel for the hammer lords and their servants. It was not until 1957 that Hirschbach became an independent parish. Major renovations took place in 1965/66 and 2001/02.

coat of arms
|
|
Blazon : “Split. Divided in front by a golden bar, above a golden moon face (crescent moon) in blue, below a red crowned and red tongued golden lion head; split at the back by silver and blue. " |
|
Reasons for the coat of arms: The face of the moon is taken from the coat of arms of the Meindl family, which has been handed down in the Hirschbach church and was of great importance for the history of Hirschbach. The Meindls had owned the manor house and the hammer in Hirschbach since 1584. Georg Meindl had a paper mill built in 1590, which was in operation until 1874.
The lion's head from the coat of arms of the Wittelsbach family reminds us that the municipal area was largely under the sovereignty of the Bavarian dukes until the War of the Bavarian Succession. After the War of Succession, sovereignty was divided between the Principality of Palatinate-Neuburg (District Judge Office Sulzbach), newly created in 1505, and the Imperial City of Nuremberg (Velden Care Office). The silver-blue split in the rear part of the coat of arms corresponds to the coat of arms of the Breitensteiner, a noble family that was resident for generations as court owners in the district of Eschenfelden. Eight members of the family are buried in Eschenfelden. |
The municipality flag has the color sequence yellow-blue. White-blue is reserved for the Bavarian state flag. The coat of arms should be placed on the flag.
