Lichtenhaag is a district and a district in the municipality of Gerzen in the Lower Bavarian district of Landshut .
location
Lichtenhaag is about five kilometers north-northeast of Vilsbiburg and about four kilometers southwest of Gerzen not far from the state road 2054, which runs about 200 m north of the Kleine Vils .
Settlement history
In prehistoric times, the main settlement area was in the lower Vils area, which extended into the Bina valley, about 15 km further south. Settlement finds from the Middle Neolithic (approx. 4,900 to 4,500 BC), the early Bronze Age and the Bronze (approx. 2,100 to 1,300 BC) or Urnfield Age (approx . 1,300 to 800 BC) approx. 850 m this is documented south-east of the Lichtenhaag church.
Lichtenhaag is located on the elevated road from Diemannskirchen via Seyboldsdorf after the Gerzen already mentioned in the 9th century. The first paths were high-altitude paths and only later became passable with the development of settlements in the river meadows. Around 1305, the Knights of Leberskirchen moved their headquarters from their ancestral home in Leberskirchen to Lichtenhaag at the height of the Sporn Ridge just west of the confluence of the Großer and Kleiner Vils. It is very likely that they built the new seat on the site of an already prehistoric rampart. The place name "Haag" at least suggests that. The reason for this relocation is probably to be seen in the fact that the "ostana winweges" (wine route) in the valley of the small Vils gained importance due to the ducal state policy.
In 1447 the knight "Lienhart Leberskirchner zu Liechtnhag" relocated his aristocratic residence to Lichtenhaag, he was already able to prove that he owned a manor in Lichtenhaag and appeared as the landlord in the place. Extensive clearing work in the area of the village of Lichtenhaag had preceded and was continued. The nobles of Leberskirchen were resident in Gerzen and Lichtenhaag at that time. In 1506 the seat of Lichtenhaag and the court brands Leberskirchen (Gde. Schalkham) and Vilssattling (Gde Lichtenhaag) (= the Vilsweber) are confirmed in the possession of the Leberskircher. When the Leberskircher family died out in 1521, the three Hofmarksdörfer Lichtenhaag, Leberskirchen and Vilssattling with their headquarters in Lichtenhaag came to the keeper of Biburg. The church of St. Nicholas is mentioned for the first time in 1508, and in 1559 it is reported in connection with the church that it is decorated with church decorations, but it is dilapidated and these ruins cannot be repaired due to poverty. In 1590 the structural condition is described as good, except for the windows, which are referred to as “parum defectuosa”.
In 1746 the church of St. Florian (Wieskapelle) is mentioned for the first time in files 12 and 13 of the Gerzen parish. There it says that the small chapel must have been built by the court rulers more than 100 years ago, "as the coat of arms shows", and that a carved picture was brought to the community with the consent of the local pastor on May 20, 1746, which represents the scourged Savior. The picture soon found particular veneration and the rosary was prayed daily in the chapel.
In 1762, Count v. Seyboldsdorf Ober- and Niederaichbach, Mauern, Lichtenhaag and Leberskirchen.
In 1831 there were already 164 people living in the 42 houses, 1 castle, a brickworks and a mill in the village. The patrimonial court was repealed in 1849. In 1842 the 27 properties without a church (No. 22) had the following property rights: twenty-three properties up to 5 days, sixteen properties up to 20 days, 2 properties up to 35 days and three properties over 70 days.
In 1867 205 people lived in the 79 residential buildings of the village with 2 churches, a school, a castle and a bridge over the small Vils. According to parish No. 37 from 1882/1883, the church of St. Nicholas was raised in 1883 and the damaged roof structure was repaired and repainted in 1884. In 1904 there were already 206 people living in the 51 houses. In 1956 the municipality of Lichtenhaag passed the resolution to build the Vils Bridge for DM 66,269.20.
In the years 1959/1960 today's church of St. Nicholas was built in place of the previous building built in the 2nd half of the 13th century. The tower of the previous building, erected in the 15th century, was retained.
As part of the Bavarian regional reform , the previously independent municipality of Lichtenhaag with 372 inhabitants was incorporated into Gerzen on May 1, 1978, to which it still belongs to this day. In 2002, 492 people lived in the town's 181 residential buildings.
