The municipality has 16 officially named municipality parts (the type of settlement and the number of inhabitants are given in brackets ):

Chausseehaus near Günzersreuth has meanwhile become deserted .

history

In 1235, when Emperor Friedrich II came to Germany from Italy, the Reichsministeriale Ramungus (I) named himself " Ramungus de Kamerstein" after the Kammerstein Castle, which was located on the royal estate . This is also the first written mention of the place. The final word of the place name kamere, kamer ( Middle High German ) denotes a chamber property . Apparently the castle was built as the new seat for the administration of the Schwabach royal estate. Between 1220 and 1230 the castle was expanded to protect the city of Schwabach and the three imperial roads that cross the Heidenberg area. In 1241 Ramungus became a district judge in Eger and was thus ranked on a par with the Nuremberg royal groomer . He died around 1260 at the age of about 70. On a small hill ( 424  m above sea level ) he left an important imperial castle . Due to its exposed location, it had a direct line of sight to both Schwabach and Abenberg Castle , so that the then important trade route from Schwabach to Windsbach could be controlled.

The castle and the place later came to the House of Nassau . In 1296 Hanns von Nassau sold both to the Burgraviate of Nuremberg .

The knight Hans von Hausen, who also had possessions in Rittersbach , has been handed down as the owner for 1404 . In 1461 the castle was destroyed by Bavarian troops and only partially rebuilt afterwards. The margravial caretaker moved his official residence back to Schwabach. Kammerstein only served the margraves for a short time as a hunting seat in the extensive forests around the Heidenberg, until Ratibor Castle in Roth was completed. After further destruction, the castle was no longer repaired and fell into disrepair . It was further destroyed in the Thirty Years War . The stones were broken out of the ruins and a quarry was built on the northern slope of the mountain. When the still standing, now by lightning damaged keep this stood in the way, the government in Ansbach in 1782 decided under Christian Friedrich Karl Alexander , after today, the FAU is not for the demolition to the continued use of the quarry named to to disturb. In some places the foundations are still preserved. Knowledge about the castle is mainly based on sparse old pen drawings and traditions. Only the cemetery with the former palace chapel in the east remained.

Towards the end of the Holy Roman Empire (end of the 18th century) there were 24 properties in Kammerstein. The high court exercised the Brandenburg-Ansbach Oberamt Schwabach . The village and township government had the box office Schwabach held. The landlords were the box office Schwabach (3 half yards, 1 half yard with tavern , 1 estate with forge, 9 Köblergüter , 2 Gütlein, 7 empty houses ) and the St. Klara monastery office of the imperial city of Nuremberg (1 whole yard). In addition to the property, there were stately (wild master's house), communal (shepherd's house, school) and ecclesiastical buildings (parish church, rectory).

Like the Principality of Ansbach, Kammerstein was administered by Prussia from 1792 . Nothing in the ownership structure had changed.

As part of the principality, the place fell to the Kingdom of Bavaria with the Paris Treaty (February 1806) . As part of the municipal edict , the tax district Kammerstein was formed in 1808 , to which Albersreuth , Chausseehaus , Forsthof , Haag , Schattenhof and Uigenau belonged. In 1818 the rural community Kammerstein was formed, which, apart from the Chausseehaus, was congruent with the tax district. In administration and jurisdiction, it was subordinate to the Schwabach Regional Court and in the financial administration to the Schwabach Rent Office ( renamed Schwabach Tax Office in 1920 ). The Chausseehaus had belonged to the tax district and the rural community of Günzersreuth since 1818 . From 1862, Kammerstein was subordinate to the Schwabach district office (renamed the Schwabach district in 1938 ). The jurisdiction remained with the district court Schwabach until 1879 and from 1880 it came to the district court Schwabach . In 1875 the spelling of the municipality of Cammerstein was officially changed to Kammerstein . On November 15, 1924, Forsthof and Uigenau were reassigned to Schwabach . This reduced the area of ​​the municipality from 15.247 to 10.969 km².

On November 24, 2002, Mayor Walter Schnell and representatives of the churches pronounced an official moral rehabilitation for Ottilia Kuenin from Kammerstein, who had been condemned as a witch .

Incorporations

On January 1, 1972, part of the dissolved community of Günzersreuth was incorporated. On May 1, 1978, the communities Barthelmesaurach and Volkersgau were added. The latter was formed on February 20, 1960 from parts of the former community Unterreichenbach and officially received the name Volkersgau on June 9, 1960 .

badges and flags

The municipality of Kammerstein has had a coat of arms since 1968.

Kammerstein coat of arms
 Blazon : “ Split ; in front in gold a red-armored black half eagle at the gap, behind in silver three six-spoke red wheels one above the other. "

Black and white municipal flag

Justification of the coat of arms: The eagle is the imperial eagle in a reduced form and indicates that the castle of the same name was once imperial property. The castle and town came to the Burgraves of Nuremberg in 1364 and were succeeded by the Margraves of Ansbach . The colors silver and black, which are taken from their coat of arms , remind of this. A family of Reich ministers named themselves after the Kammerstein Castle. The three wheels are taken from the coat of arms of this noble family .

Community partnerships

Kammerstein has maintained a community partnership with the Comune Quinzano , province of Brescia in the Italian region of Veneto , since May 17, 1986 .

On August 28, 2011, another partnership was established with the Petrovac-Drinić municipality in Bosnia and Herzegovina .
