history

The place was first mentioned in 1255 as "Lymarsdorf". In 1307 the place was called "Liemersdorf". The defining word is the personal name Limar. With the personal name the founder of the settlement was probably given.

In the 14th and 15th centuries, Limmersdorf was a branch of the Order of St. John . From 1510 to 1542 Eberhard I. Förtsch von Thurnau had today's late Gothic church built on the remains of the previous buildings. In the early 16th century the church became Evangelical Lutheran. The noble Giech family retained patronage for the church until 1848.

Towards the end of the 18th century, Limmersdorf consisted of 55 properties. The Giech'sche Amt Thurnau exercised the high court and the village and community rule . Were landlords

  • the Thurnau office (39 properties: 6 courtyards, 3 half courtyards, 2 semi-estates, 2 quarter estates, 1 small estate, 5 Sölden , 3 half-sölden, 8 houses, 2 houses each with a courtyard, 5 small houses, 1 courtyard, 1 small courtyard),
  • the hospital administration Thurnau (1 yard),
  • the parish of Thurnau (1 undeveloped Sölde),
  • the parish of Limmersdorf (11 properties: 1 blacksmith's house with Hofrait, 2 goods, 1 Söldengut, 4 Halbsölden, 1 third oil, 1 house, 1 drip house )
  • the St. Katharinen-Spital Bamberg (3 estates, including 1 undeveloped).

The Thurnau office was responsible for the tax and bailiwick , with the exception of the Bamberg hospital's property: Here, the Bamberg office of Weismain was responsible for tax sovereignty . In addition to the property there was also 1 church, 1 rectory, 1 schoolhouse and 1 community blacksmith's shop.

From 1797 to 1808 the place was under the patrimonial court of Thurnau . With the municipal edict of 1811, the Limmersdorf tax district was formed, to which Berndorf , Felkendorf , Hohezorn , Kleetzhöfe , Leesau , Menchau , Poppenleithen , Quartier , Ruh and Wiesenmühle belonged. In 1812 Buchhaus , Forstleithen , Kröglitzen and Neuwirthshaus were added to the tax district . With the second community edict (1818) the rural community Limmersdorf was formed, to which Hörlinsreuth belonged. It was subject to the Hollfeld Regional Court in administration and jurisdiction and the Kulmbach Rent Office in the financial administration . In 1822 Limmersdorf was transferred to the Thurnau Regional Court (from 1852 Thurnau Regional Court ) and the Thurnau Rent Office ( renamed the Thurnau Tax Office in 1919 ). In 1856 the Buchhaus, Forstleithen and street inn were incorporated. From 1862 Limmersdorf was administered by the Kulmbach District Office (renamed the Kulmbach District in 1939 ). The jurisdiction remained with the district court of Thurnau until 1879, from 1879 district court of Thurnau . In 1929 jurisdiction was taken over by the Bayreuth District Court and in 1930 financial management by the Bayreuth Tax Office . In 1925, the municipality had an area of ​​5.688 km², which increased to 5.733 km² through the incorporation of Kröglitzen in 1930.

On April 14, 1945, a German military aircraft ( Messerschmitt Bf 109 ) crashed near the site. According to tradition, the pilot is said to have pulled the already burning aircraft up over the place to protect the residents. A monument with a part of the wreck bears witness to this event.

On April 1, 1971, the municipality of Felkendorf was incorporated into Limmersdorf as part of the regional reform . On May 1, 1978 Limmersdorf was incorporated into the Thurnau market.

Lindenkirchweih

Limmersdorf is known for the 350 year old linden tree and the Lindenkirchweih, which has been documented since 1729. In fact, this festival is probably much older. This tradition - unique in Germany - is cultivated annually. Today's Tanzlinde may have been planted at the end of the Thirty Years War in 1648. There are legends that indicate that there was already a Lindenkirchweih at that time. The linden tree is around 16 meters high with a trunk circumference of five meters. The dance floor is about four meters high. As a special feature, there is also a sand bowling alley operated by Kerwa .

In the spring of 2014, the Bavarian Council of Ministers decided to propose the Lindenkirchweih for entry in the nationwide register of intangible cultural heritage . In December 2014, the application was accepted and confirmed by the Conference of Ministers of Education . The Lindenkirchweih is one of 27 cultural forms in the German directory of intangible cultural heritage .
