Mallerstetten

Mallerstetten is a district of the city of Dietfurt an der Altmühl in the Neumarkt district in Upper Palatinate in Bavaria .

location

The village is located northwest of the municipality on the plateau of the southern Franconian Jura on the NM 15 district road that continues to Hebersdorf .

history

"Malcherstetten" (= Malcher's residence) was awarded to the bishop in the dispute between the Bishop of Eichstätt and the Bavarian dukes Rudolph and Ludwig over the Hirschberg inheritance in the Gaimersheimer Spruch 1305. The bishopric later owned only one farm in the village and the bailiwick over it; the court paid interest to the caste office Beilngries of the lower monastery. As a result of the Thirty Years' War in 1644 it lay desolate. When Töging was acquired by the bishopric in 1584, the bishop received the tithe on two Bavarian farms and one Validacker. In the 17th century there are spellings of the place name such as Mallerstötten, Mallmerstöttn, Mallstöttn.

When Bavaria was divided into districts in 1808, the village belonged to the Hebersdorf tax district , which was initially assigned to the Neumarkt district court in the Upper Palatinate ( in the Upper Danube district ) and later to the Riedenburg district court (in the Regenkreis ; renamed Upper Palatinate in 1837). It stayed that way until the Bavarian territorial reform , when Mallerstetten joined the city of Dietfurt an der Altmühl on January 1, 1972 .

In 1933 the place had 189 and 1939 176 inhabitants.

Catholic Church of St. George

The Hainsberg branch church St. Georg in Mallerstetten was probably rebuilt in the 17th century using the tower (with stepped gables and saddle roof ) of the Gothic previous church. On September 18, 1864, the choir tower church was consecrated again. The furnishings are neo-Romanesque (main altar and two side altars) with altarpieces from the period. Of the two flanking high altar statues, the right one is a “better work around 1500” (Mader, Kunstdenkmäler, p. 83); she represents St. Augustine as bishop. On the left nave wall hangs a group of figures of St. George fighting the dragon (around 1650). The chime consists of two bells from 1956.

Chapel in Stetterhof

Battle of Mallerstetten

On March 4, 1703 the first Bavarian field battle in the War of the Spanish Succession broke out near Mallerstetten on the Kurbayerische Defensionlinie . A stone torture on the road between Mallerstetten and Mitteldorf commemorates those who fell there, 103 of whom were buried in a mass grave nearby. The torture was first mentioned in the hall book of the city of Dietfurt in 1730 .
