history

At the chapel from 1884, the ring moat and the ring wall of a medieval, no longer existing noble seat can still be seen, which was probably built into a former Celtic fortification.

A Herolt of Menege is first mentioned in a document in 1144. A Heinrich von Meninger is mid-14th century judges Sulzbürg . Möningerberg is first mentioned in 1253, when Gottfried (I.) von Sulzbürg received the Meierhof von Möning including the "Menigsperg" from the Bishop of Eichstätt as a fief. In 1286 Ulrich von Sulzbürg sold all his goods to "Menig" (Möning), including the village court, to the Nuremberg Order of the Teutonic Order . A year later, his (younger) half-brother Gottfried (II.) Von Sulzbürg- Wolfstein donated the Nuremberg Teutonic Order Forest in Möning and his share of the Möningerberg. On May 13, 1444, a certificate of indulgence is issued for the “Chapel of the Holy Cross” on Möningerberg ; It is not certain whether this was a successor to a castle chapel. With the indulgence, however, the pilgrimage to Möningerberg intensified .

Franciscan monastery on the Möningerberg

From 1452 there was a Franciscan monastery on Möningerberg. On July 21, 1459 Otto I von Pfalz-Mosbach allowed the Franciscans to build a convent on the Möninger Berg. The monastery was built in the same year using the stones from the high medieval castle complex. The first brothers came from the Franciscan monastery in Amberg . The convention was approved by Pope Pius II and placed within the Upper German (Strasbourg) Franciscan Province of the Bavarian Kostodie. They took over the mental and physical care of the pilgrims on the Möninger Berg. The son Otto II also promoted the monastery by issuing a letter of protection to the monks in 1465. In 1476 the dilapidated pilgrimage church on Möninger Berg was replaced by a new building closer to the monastery. In 1480 the vicar general Wilhelm Bertho of Nuremberg came to the monastery, fell ill there and died in the Franciscan monastery in Ingolstadt . In the schematic of the diocese of Eichstätt , 1480, the zealous cultivation of science is reported, the monastery library with 337 volumes of spiritual and secular content is mentioned. In 1501, Father Paulus Sauer, who came from the monastery, wrote the text “Auf dem hoen stifft propre mennich” and the Guardian Johann Goldner, originally from Augsburg, wrote the “Braun Franciscana antiqua”. In 1525, the brothers expelled from Nuremberg found refuge in the Möningen mountain monastery. In 1527 a dispute began about the income of the pilgrimage church "Zum Heiligen Kreuz" between Count Palatine Friedrich II of Neumarkt and the Lords of Wolfstein zu Sulzbürg. The dispute was decided in favor of the Franciscans. The Reformation was introduced in 1544 under the Elector Ottheinrich . The guardian of the monastery traveled to Heidelberg and transferred the monastery with all belongings to the elector against free withdrawal of the monks. Part of the church inventory had been delivered two years earlier to Amberg in the Palatinate, followed by the rest of the monastery inventory in 1556 (45 albums , 27 vestments, three chalices and three monstrances were handed over ). In 1556, Elector Ottheinrich had the monastery blocked and devastated by the mayor of Neumarkt. Three stone figures (Maria, Antonius and Franziskus) stand today in the monastery garden of Freystadt. Parts of the Amberg population seized the last brothers who had been left behind because of the move and drove them out of town on a cart with mockery and mockery . The property now belonging to the Palatinate was leased to the family of Hans Klöbel (or Kläbl) from Röckersbühl . In 1614, Möning mentions the collapsed monastery in a hat letter. In 1681 the Ordinariate approved the use of the stones from the former monastery for an extension of the Maria-Hilf-Chapel, the predecessor of today's pilgrimage church , in Freystadt.

Further history of the Möningerberg

In 1625 the Upper Palatinate, and with it Möningerberg, became Catholic again during the Counter Reformation . The Thirty Years War brought the devastation. In 1697 the ducal-Bavarian mayor of Neumarkt, Johann Georg von Neumayer, bought the Mönigerberg, half of which belonged to the clerical administration in Neumarkt and half to the Deutschordenspflegamt Postbauer. The mayor built a brewery on the mountain, had most of the wood felled (he refused the new fractional toe to both the Seligenporten monastery and the pastor of Möning, who argued over this right in 1701) and in 1699 built a small castle with a castle chapel there. Eichstätt refused to restore the pre-Reformation early mass that he was striving for. In 1712 the Eichstätt prince-bishop protested that Neumayer wanted to force the landlords of the Eichstättischen places Thannhausen and Burggriesbach to get the beer from him.

Around 1794 the mountain farmer built a fourteen-helper chapel. In 1803 this was threatened with demolition due to the secularization , but the farmers prevented this because they claimed to smoke the chapel for the storage of wood. In 1851 three crosses and the Way of the Cross were erected on the mountain by the stone carver Schmoll from Schmellnricht and the painter Sartori from Neumarkt (replaced in 1870 and again in 1883). In 1868 the Möning parish compared with the mountain farmers around the mountain chapel; their receipt should be financed solely from the pilgrims' sacrifice money. In 1884 a larger Chapel of the Holy Helpers was built in the neo-Gothic style, with the previous one being retained (and later renovated).

Towards the end of the Old Kingdom , around 1800, there were three properties on Möningerberg, which belonged to the city of Freystadt as a manorial estate, were subordinate to the Upper Hofmark Berngau in terms of taxation and lower court and to the Neumarkt mayor's office. Farmer Wolf sat in the largest yard, a quarter yard, the other two yards were sixteenth yards.

In the new Kingdom of Bavaria (1806), the municipality of Möning was formed from Möning, Möningerberg and Reckenstetten with the municipal edict of 1818 . It belonged to the district court (from 1862 district office, from 1879 district) Neumarkt. In 1875 the farmers of Möningerberg had one horse and twelve reed cattle in terms of large cattle.

With the regional reform in Bavaria , the municipality of Möning and thus also Möningerberg was incorporated into the city of Freystadt on January 1, 1972.

The location by the 1884 chapel offers a "Hundred Villages View". There is also a grotto made of quarry stones with a portrait of the Virgin Mary nearby. Every year around August 24th, the “Mountain Festival” takes place, with thousands of pilgrims on the Möningerberg.
