history

In the 14th century the settlement of the Moschendorf municipality began. The name Moschendorf probably goes back to the knight family Moschler. The Moschler owned properties between the roads to Wunsiedel and Bayreuth in the south of the city of Hof.

The former community of Moschendorf consisted of the districts Alsenberg / Otterberg, Anspann, Erlalohe, Krötenbruck and Moschendorf. The size of the municipality can still be read from the district of Moschendorf of the city of Hof.

In 2006, from April 29th to May 1st, Moschendorf celebrated 100 years of incorporation into Hof .

Culture and sights

The Church of the Resurrection is the house of worship of the Evangelical Lutheran parish of Moschendorf. When it was incorporated into Hof, Moschendorf was granted its own cemetery , the only Hofer Gottesacker next to the municipal cemetery. However, since the Moschendorf cemetery is very small, the right to be buried there is only available to residents of the streets that belonged to the former municipality of Moschendorf when it was incorporated. All other deceased in the Moschendorf district are buried in the municipal cemetery on Plauener Straße.

The Stelzenhof is a former manorial estate, the history of which goes back to the Middle Ages.

Then at the former train station, the railway line crosses the Saale on the Moschendorf viaduct. In the 1940s, the railway line from Hof ​​via Moschendorf to Oberkotzau was expanded to three tracks in order to ensure an efficient connection between the Oberkotzau marshalling yard and Hof Central Station.
