history

The former monastery complex of Münchsteinach with Münchsteinach Minster

Until the church is planted

In Münchsteinach, described for the first time in 1832, there are remains of a burial mound from the Hallstatt period (around 500 BC), the so-called "Celtic area". At the beginning of the 21st century, a so-called Celtic tree circle was created in the Münchsteinach community forest and a Celtic barrow was built (the historical graves are no longer visible).

912 it is mentioned in a document that King Konrad I gave the abbot Dracholf of the Schwarzach u. a. gives the place "Steinaha". Accordingly, the place would originally have been a royal estate. However, it is unclear whether “Steinaha” means Münchsteinach or Steinach an der Ens . In 1102 the Lords of Steinach founded the Steinach Benedictine monastery . The first clear evidence can be found in a document that must have been created between 1103 and 1139. Here the place is called "Steina". The place name is derived from the name of the water body of the same name, which describes a stony stream.

The bailiwick of the monastery came to the burgraves of Nuremberg and later margraves of Brandenburg-Kulmbach via King Konradin at the latest in 1265 . During the time of the tribal duchies, the place was in the Duchy of Franconia . Buried in the monastery church in 1347 was Konrad Heider von Dachsbach, who was in office as monastery bailiff from 1298 and was mentioned in documents as early as 1294 as bailiff of Neustadt. The church and monastery were destroyed in the Peasants' War in 1525 , the monastery was secularized in the course of the Reformation in 1528 and a margravial monastery office was established there, which existed until 1792. Münchsteinach has been a Protestant parish and an independent parish since 1530. During the Thirty Years' War there were also assaults, looting and arson, torture and the murder of Pastor Waldmann in Münchsteinach. After the end of the Thirty Years' War, numerous Protestant religious expellees from Austria settled here, who made a significant contribution to the reconstruction of their new home. From December 10, 700 to 1732, the Münchsteinach monastery office (together with Schornweisach, Gutenstetten and Baudenbach) was pledged by the margrave to the diocese of Würzburg. The redemption took place against payment of 280,000 guilders.

Towards the end of the 18th century there were 48 properties in Münchsteinach (office building, church, rectory, 1 courtyard, 1 half-yard, 2 hubs , 3 mills, 1 forge, 1 tavern, 1 bath room, 8 goods, 2 half-goods, 2 small estates, 13th century Sölden , 1 semi-estate, 2 drip houses , 2 half drip houses, 4 houses, 2 half houses). The high court was exercised by the Brandenburg-Bayreuth city ​​bailiff Neustadt an der Aisch . The Brandenburg-Bayreuth Monastery Office Münchsteinach held the village and community rulership and the land rulership over all properties .

Through the Paris Treaty of 1810 under Napoleon , Münchsteinach fell to France as part of the Prussian principality of Bayreuth in the Peace of Tilsit in 1807 and was ceded to Bavaria in 1810. As part of the municipal edict , the Münchsteinach tax district was formed in 1811 , to which Abtsgreuth , Agelmühle , Höfen , Mittelsteinach , Mönchsberg , Roßbach , Undungsmühle and Weihermühle belonged. In 1813 the rural community Münchsteinach was formed, which was congruent with the tax district. With the second community edict (1818), the rural community was split into

  • Rural community Abtsgreuth with Mittelsteinach and Undungsmühle;
  • Rural community Mönchsberg with courtyards;
  • Rural community Münchsteinach with Agel and Weiher mill;
  • Rural community of Roßbach.

It was subordinate to the regional court Neustadt an der Aisch in administration and jurisdiction and in the financial administration to the Rentamt Neustadt an der Aisch (renamed in 1920 to Finanzamt Neustadt an der Aisch ). From 1862 Münchsteinach was administered by the Neustadt an der Aisch district office ( renamed Neustadt an der Aisch district in 1938 ). The jurisdiction remained with the district court Neustadt an der Aisch until 1879, from 1880 district court Neustadt an der Aisch . The municipality had an area of ​​6.647 km².

Religions

The districts of Abtsgreuth, Neuebersbach and Münchsteinach belong to the Evangelical Lutheran parish of Münchsteinach. Altershausen has its own church, the pastor of which is in Kleinweisach. Since the two churches are the only churches in the area, good contacts are maintained with the Catholic Christians and the Catholic parish Neustadt / Aisch is supported in pastoral care in the community area. In the minster (winter church in the parish hall) there is church service every Sunday, and more recently regular evening services in a modern form.

badges and flags

The Münchsteinach community has had a coat of arms since 1956.

Münchsteinach coat of arms
 Blazon : “ Split by silver and gold; at the front of the gap a half, gold armored red eagle with a golden clover leaf bow on the wing, behind a standing black clad Benedictine monk. "

Red and white municipal flag

Reasons for the coat of arms: The half red eagle is the Brandenburg coat of arms in a reduced form. It is a reminder of the long rulership of the margraves of Brandenburg-Ansbach in Münchsteinach. The Benedictine monk has the former convent and is also talking to the place name.

Culture and sights

Buildings

The Romanesque cathedral and the former Benedictine monastery on the Kirchberg of Münchsteinach are the sights of the Steigerwaldort . Of the monastery ensemble founded in 1102 and completed in 1180, only the abbey church of St. Nicholas is preserved, a Romanesque pillar basilica with originally two choir towers, only one of which has survived the ages. The abbey church and the convent buildings were partially destroyed in the turmoil of wars and the Reformation , and the church and monastery were later secularized. The eastern part of the church with the choir, cross arms and crossing served the evangelical parish as church space, the nave was used as a barn.
Only an extensive renovation from 1965 to 1970 allowed the room to reappear in its simple medieval beauty. The southern convent building dates from the 15th century and is now used by the community as a town hall and kindergarten.

  • Romanesque eagle capital, baptistery Münchsteinacher Münster
