Ensembles

Ensemble old town Obernburg a.Main

The ensemble includes the old town of Obernburg within its medieval fortifications. Among the towns on the Main, built over Roman forts , in the area of ​​the former wet Limes, Obernburg is characterized by its floor plan, which largely depicts the ancient castrum: the main-parallel main street (Römerstraße) coincides with the former via principalis, the Badgasse perpendicular to it with the via praetoria together. The medieval urban area extends far beyond the boundary line of the Roman castrum, especially to the north, where the former self-fortified parish is located. The structure of the town, which was expanded into a town by the Mainz ore monastery in the first half of the 14th century, is as follows: within the rectangular border through the former town wall, the Römerstraße as the main street runs through the length of the town, shifted uphill from the central axis; side streets branch off at right angles from it; In the broader half of the city on the side of the river, these are more numerous and also connected to one another by an alleyway parallel to the main street (lower alley / Pfaffengasse); the Mainstrasse leading to the Main crossing appears to be emphasized by its greater width; a marketplace is missing. The city is not only characterized by its floor plan, but also by its closed stock of half-timbered houses. Corresponding to the gradient typical of every medieval country town, stately properties can be found on Römerstraße on large, lined up plots that extend uphill to the former city wall, and in the side streets on the side of the river, a smaller mix of craftsmen's yards. The mostly plastered buildings from the 16th to 19th centuries Century are partly gable, partly eaves. In the Römerstraße the position alternates, in the side streets eaves predominate, but sometimes there are rows of gable-independent houses, mostly with half-hipped houses. A historic monumental building has been missing since the new parish church was built. The only accents are outstanding houses (such as Römerstrasse 18 and 41) as well as the towers of the city fortifications and the two city gates that complete Römerstrasse. Boundaries: Course of the former city wall, marked by the outer side of the Upper and Lower Wallstrasse. File number: E-6-76-145-1.

City fortifications

The fortifications surrounding the city in a rectangle were laid out from 1344, and renewed and strengthened in the 15th and 16th centuries. After the demolition of the city walls in the 19th century, only a few wall sections have survived: at the upper gate to the west and a short section to the west and east at the lower gate, and to the north to the alms tower. The preserved towers stood in the four corners and in the middle of the western long side of the wall. All towers are made of sandstone with stone edges and frames and, with the exception of the round tower, have a rectangular floor plan. File number: D-6-76-145-2.

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.
