Ensembles

Ensemble market place

The moderately long and relatively wide market square, which curves slightly from south to northeast, with its delimitation by the Donauwörther Tor in the south and the Weißenburger Tor in the north, forms the core of the city of Monheim and is an ensemble.

The 240-meter-long part of the main traffic artery, which was stretched between the two city gates and which already connected Augsburg with Nuremberg in the Middle Ages, expands like a street square within the formerly completely walled area and documents the original importance of this main traffic axis, market and trade route. The houses of the market are not only based on a medieval floor plan, some of them still contain a medieval core and, in the elevation, refer to a small-town-commercial functional context.

Around the street market, which was presumably marked in the 14th century, a settlement had developed at this time, walled in an irregular round shape. Century, then village with its own monastery, the place Monheim until the 13th century joint ownership of this monastery and the bishop of Eichstätt, located in the Graisbach county. The transfer of the relics of St. Walburga from Eichstätt to Monheim provoked a famous pilgrimage in the place and resulted in a further development of the village on the Donauwörth-Weißenburg road.

Historical view of Monheim

Around 1330/40 Monheim finally received city rights from the Counts of Oettingen, who had acquired the Eichstättische fief. In the course of the 14th century, city rulership and state sovereignty changed repeatedly over Monheim, in 1397 it passed to the Dukes of Bavaria, in 1505 to the then newly founded Principality of Pfalz-Neuburg, where it remained until 1808. In 1523 the seat of the district court was relocated from Graisbach Castle to Monheim; The palace at the northeast end of the street market was built in the middle of the 16th century for the Pfalz-Neuburgischen nurse and governor of the Graisbach-Monheim nursing office. With the relocation of the caste office in 1750, Monheim is finally the administrative center of the Palatinate-Neuburgic office.

Although Monheim is now partly an arable town, the houses are mostly two-story with a small town, not rural character. The decisive factor was the needling trade, which was extensively developed into the late 18th century, a profitable trade for the city. The market square, which slopes slightly to the northeast and narrows, is built on with houses facing the street, with the gable fronts adapting axially to the curvature, i.e. not staggered but parallel to the street layout. Most of the buildings, which date from the 18th century, are mostly plastered, and half-timbered buildings are also occasionally represented. The development is relatively closed, but irregular as a result of different gable and floor heights, projections and recesses of the fronts. The town hall to the north-west, a stately three-storey hipped roof building, dominates over the buildings with a small-town character. The final markings of the street are the southern Donauwörther Tor with its steep gable roof and the northern Weissenburg Gate, which is overlooked in the baroque style and which is stylistically aligned with the representative castle building that adjoins it to the east.

Remarks

1. ↑ This list may not correspond to the current status of the official list of monuments. The latter can be viewed on the Internet as a PDF using the link given under web links and is also mapped in the Bavarian Monument Atlas . Even these representations, although they are updated daily by the Bavarian State Office for Monument Preservation , do not always and everywhere reflect the current status. Therefore, the presence or absence of an object in this list or in the Bavarian Monument Atlas does not guarantee that it is currently a registered monument or not. The Bavarian List of Monuments is also an information directory. The property of a monument - and thus the legal protection - is defined in Art. 1 of the Bavarian Monument Protection Act (BayDSchG) and does not depend on the mapping in the Monument Atlas and the entry in the Bavarian Monument List. Objects that are not listed in the Bavarian Monument List can also be monuments if they meet the criteria according to Art. 1 BayDSchG. Early involvement of the Bavarian State Office for Monument Preservation according to Art. 6 BayDSchG is therefore necessary in all projects.
