geography

Mittersthal is located on the plateau of the Upper Palatinate Jura , in the shape of a horseshoe around the old village fountain, which rises below the St. Matthias Church on the slopes of the Fallgraben and runs through the middle of a valley. The two parts of the village are called "Sommergass" and "Wintergass".

history

Mittersthal was first mentioned in a document on May 31, 1323, when Heinrich the Loter von Mutrestal sold a farmstead here for three-half pounds Haller with the permission of Albrechts von Frikenhoven to brother Heinrich the Master von der Seligenporten . In 1403 Mittersthal belonged to Niedersulzbürg Castle . In 1420 construction began on the Church of St. Matthias.

The rulers appointed Lutheran and later Calvinist clergy from 1548 , and it wasn't until 1625 that the practice of Catholic religion was reintroduced. In 1671 189 inhabitants lived in 46 families and 38 houses in the community. Starting in 1700, an old road led from Neumarkt via Deining, Mittersthal, Finsterweiling , Waldhausen , Eichenhofen , Parsberg , Mausheim, Beratzhausen , Laaber , Nittendorf to Regensburg . Earlier spellings of the name of the tenant barn , mothers barn and Muterstal be on probably mule barn traced. Mules were used for pack animals and draft animals on the old road that passed by.

Town center

In 1901 Mittersthal was entered in the land register as a co-owner of the Deining schoolhouse . The land consolidation is carried out with Deining, Unterbuchfeld and Harenzhofen in 1947. The name of the place was set to Mittersthal by the Bavarian State Ministry of the Interior in 1956, previously the name Mitterstall had been mentioned several times . In 1957 a school building was built, which was sold in 1973 and the children were sent back to school in Deining. Mittersthal gave up his independence by resolution of the municipal council and was incorporated into the municipality of Deining on May 1, 1978 .

Catholic branch church St. Matthias

St. Matthias

The oldest part is the choir tower from the early 15th century, which was later redesigned several times. Now it appears as a tower with a tent roof . The church was last restored inside in 1979/80 and outside in 1984. The nave consists of a square choir with groin vaults, while the nave has a flat ceiling.

Equipment: high altar around 1700, structure with two winding columns and side figures of St. Peter and Paul. Altarpiece : St. Matthias by Georg Halter 1903 (signed and dated). The side altars in the middle from the middle of the 18th century supposedly come from the court church in Neumarkt . In 1862 the church received two new altars from the parish church in Neumarkt . The pillar canopies show on the left with the altar panel of Our Lady of Halter 1912 and the coat of arms of the Neumarkt goose brewery; Akhantus tendrils on the antependium and a painted medallion relief with a sleeping King David, probably around 1700. In 1900 the church painter Georg Lang from Deiningen was commissioned by the church foundation to repaint the ceiling of the church. It had been whitewashed and scaffolded. It is not known whether this scaffolding collapsed or the master fell from the scaffolding due to a misstep. In any case, it fell several meters deep on the hard stone floor. On May 25, in the morning at 6:30 a.m., he died as a result of this fall and was buried on May 27, 1900, at 10 a.m. in the Deiningen cemetery.
