Waters
The Schorgast is a tributary of the White Main in Upper Franconia.
The still largely natural Schorgast, after which the valley is named, has its source in the eastern municipality of Marktschorgast in a source area near the Bamberg – Hof railway line , which in the past also served in part to supply Marktschorgast with drinking water. On its 25 kilometer run it takes on the Perlbach, Weißenbach, Koser and Untere Steinach .
The water (2.2 million cubic meters per year) is collected from 63 sources in the Perlbachtal, deacidified in the drinking water treatment plant Grundmühle and sterilized via ultrafiltration . The treated water serves Marktschorgast and the city of Kulmbach as drinking water .
history
Until the 19th century
The village of Score gast , which dates back to a Slavic settlement and already had a parish church and a market , was used in 1109 to furnish the Bamberg Collegiate Monastery of St. Jakob. During the dispute in the Meran succession, Vogt Heinrich von Weida appropriated the Bailiwick through Marktschorgast, and King Adolf's arbitration was awarded to Bishop Arnold von Bamberg. Marktschorgast therefore belonged to the imperial diocese of Bamberg since 1293 . 1323 the place is occupied as a fortified episcopal market ( oppidum ). From 1337 the episcopal neck court is occupied. In addition to the bishop, several noble families also had property on the site.
Until the secularization in 1803, the village belonged to the bishopric of Bamberg , which up until then had been imperial and which was part of the Franconian Empire from 1500 . In 1802, in anticipation of secularization , Bavaria occupied the bishopric of Bamberg along with other ecclesiastical properties . In the Prussian-Bavarian country comparison, the former Bamberg areas (and thus also Marktschorgast) fell briefly (1807–1810) to the Prussian Principality of Bayreuth , until it was occupied by Napoleon after the devastating defeat of Prussia in the Fourth Coalition War and then in the course of the Peace of Tilsit was sold for 15 million francs to Bavaria, allied with Napoleon. Bavaria, which rose from the electorate to a kingdom in 1806 with Napoleon Bonaparte's help , was able to keep the Franconian territories gained through the support of Napoleon after the Congress of Vienna , because it had changed sides shortly before the Battle of Leipzig in 1813 and from that point on against Napoleon fought. A precondition for this change of sides was that Bavaria could keep the annexed areas. Marktschorgast has belonged to Bavaria since that time.
Incorporations
On April 1, 1971, the previously independent community of Ziegenburg was incorporated.
Population development
In the period from 1988 to 2018, the population fell from 1,592 to 1,376 by 216 or 13.6%. On December 31, 1994 the market had 1776 inhabitants.
Building history
Because of the fires in 1824, 1838 and 1840, little of the historical building fabric has been preserved. Due to the reconstruction, the uniform townscape has a late Biedermeier shape. Only in the Catholic parish church of St. Jakobus is the wall core of the choir still Romanesque, around 1500 the choir and nave were rebuilt and the choir redesigned several times. Two wall sections and a round defense tower are remnants of the late medieval church weir. The rectory was built around 1750 based on a design by Johann Michael Küchel . The Kreuzkapelle was built around 1700 on late Gothic foundations.
The station ensemble consists of the station building, a goods hall and a water house. The station building was probably built in 1853/54 according to plans by Friedrich Bürklein. It is a three-story building made of sandstone blocks with single-story side wings and a hipped roof . The goods hall is also made of sandstone and has a gable roof. It was built around 1850; likewise the two-story water house. The latter was temporarily used as a residential building and is now empty. The ensemble from the early days of the Ludwig-Süd-Nord-Bahn is a listed building. After the demolition of the water house in Kulmbach in 1990, the Marktschorgast water house is probably the last such structure from the early days of operation on the route.
railroad
The place is on the Bamberg – Hof railway line (the line is part of the Ludwig-Süd-Nord-Bahn from Lindau to Hof) at 82.0 km. The station is located at the mountain side (upper) end of the inclined plane , which begins directly behind the southern exit of the station and ends on the valley side at Neuenmarkt-Wirsberg station in Neuenmarkt .
There is a small information center on the inclined plane in the station building. At the former goods shed east of the station building, the educational trail begins with an information board along the inclined plane to Neuenmarkt. On the street side of the station building there is an overview board for the hiking trail.
In the summer months, special trips across the Inclined Plane with steam locomotive-hauled trains or historic railroad vehicles often take place on weekends, which are organized by the German Steam Locomotive Museum in Neuenmarkt and other associations. Many of these special trips end or begin in Marktschorgast, which makes it possible to experience the transfer of a steam locomotive up close.
