history

Until the church is planted

A first name attribution (as Hembaur ) refers to the 9th century. Hemau was first mentioned in a document for the first time in 1109. As a compound of the old Bavarian Hemo- and -bur , the name means 'little house of Hemo'. Hemau belonged, according to the Codex Traditionum of 1138 with more possessions on the Tangrintel endowing the monastery Prüfening that this area of the Bamberger Bishop Otto I had been awarded. In 1305, Hemau is mentioned for the first time as a city ( oppidum ) on the occasion of the enfeoffment to Duke Ludwig II by Bishop Wulfing of Bamberg , whereby the city elevation probably took place earlier by the Counts of Hirschberg , who held the bailiwick over the Tangrintel. The manorial rule in Hemau was able to keep checking up until the secularization in 1803, although Hemau belonged to the duchy of Bavaria for a long time . Accordingly, the parish of Hemau was from 1125 to 1803 a provost office of theChecking Monastery. Hemau came to the Wittelsbach principality Pfalz-Neuburg in 1505 , which was only reunited with Bavaria in 1777. In 1818 was the Bavarian Gemeindeedikt the political community Hemau founded.

coat of arms

Coat of arms of the city of Hemau
 Blazon : "In blue the golden armed Saint George with a golden helmet on a white horse protected with a golden blanket (horse coat) with the flag lance (silver cloth with red cross) and the silver arm shield decorated with a red cross, blowing right up."
Founding of the coat of arms: St. George in the coat of arms points back to the earliest times of the city's history: From the church consecration by Bishop Otto von Bamberg in 1125 to 1803, the parish of Hemau was a provost office of theChecking Monastery. St. George is both the patron saint of the monastery in Prüing and of the bishopric of Bamberg. In 1305 Hemau was first mentioned as a city (oppidum). The oldest surviving imprint of the city seal from 1324 shows this picture as well as two typars from the 16th century. A coat of arms with St. George on a striding horse has survived from the late 14th century. The coat of arms is derived from the seal image. In the 19th century, a green base was added to the coat of arms and the colors were given differently. Today's tinging has been documented since 1609. The municipality of Hohenschambach had its own coat of arms from 1974 until it was incorporated into the city of Hemau in 1978.

Economy and Infrastructure

Sign next to the former federal highway 8, coming from the southeast.

Since December 2002 Hemau has also been known as the “solar city”. A privately financed solar park was built on the former military ammunition dump. The plant has a peak output of around four megawatts and was the most powerful in the world at the time. It consists of 32,000 solar modules that supply a total of 1,150 households with solar energy. The system thus helps to save 3550 tons of CO 2 emissions per year . The project was financed through a closed fund that everyone in the region could participate in.

Former Bundeswehr base

For a long time (from April 1, 1966 to June 29, 2003), Hemau was a military base . In the final phase of the General von Steuben barracks , the following parts of the army were stationed there:

  • Missile Artillery Battalion 42
  • Companion battery 4
  • Training company 2/4
  • Training Company 6th / Mountain Repair Battalion 8th
  • Driver training center
  • Repair training company 5/4
  • 3rd / Maintenance Battalion 4

There was also the basic network switching and switching center of the Bundeswehr 64 (GSVBw 64), an imposing secret bunker built in the 1960s (construction costs about 15 million marks, three-meter-thick concrete walls, about ten meters below ground) in the district Rubbed that was part of a communication network. This was designed to remain operational during a nuclear war . The plant was decommissioned in 1996. Art exhibitions have been held there since 2006.

There was also a heavily secured ammunition depot with a security train of the US armed forces (36th USAFAD) , in which nuclear weapons (especially artillery warheads, intended for the German artillery units in Hemau and Regensburg) were stored.
