history

Nabburg in the Middle Ages and early modern times

The nucleus of the city was an early medieval castle, which was located in the area of ​​today's old town. The earliest traces of settlement can be archaeologically dated to the transition from the 7th to the 8th century. A massive fortification of the main and outer bailey is archaeologically documented for the 10th century. Since Carolingian times, Nabburg has been an important center of the administrative organization in the eastern part of the northern district .

The "marca Napurch", as it is called in documents of July 29, 1040 and February 13, 1061, experienced its heyday under the rule of the Diepoldinger from around 1100; after their extinction in 1146, the Nabburg came briefly to the Counts of Sulzbach . After it was owned by the Reich until 1188, it came to the Wittelsbach family . Nabburg was first handed down as a city in 1271. On March 31, 1296, Duke Rudolf confirmed all previous privileges and granted Nabburg all rights of the city of Amberg in paragraph 17 of the freedom letter . After the Duke's death, the city fell to Emperor Ludwig the Bavarian , who granted it further privileges and declared it unsaleable in 1317. From 1353 to 1410 Nabburg was the seat of a vice cathedral office . During the heyday of the bourgeoisie, the city's legal statutes , the Instituta Civilia (1405), were created.

In 1420, Hussite troops plundered and set fire to the town. As a result, the previously started fortification was completed more quickly. In the late summer of 1433 the fortified city resisted another siege by Hussite troops.

Nabburg in modern times

In 1536 the northern tower of the parish church burned down after a lightning strike.

During the Thirty Years' War , an interim storage facility for an imperial army of 24,000 men with over 100 artillery pieces was built near Nabburg on May 26, 1634. The army came from Pilsen and moved on to Regensburg to recapture the city occupied by the Swedes in the battle for Regensburg .

Until the administrative reforms, Nabburg was under Montgela's care office , had a care court and belonged to the Amberg Rent Office .

During the Second World War , shortly before the end of the war, an incendiary bombing destroyed part of the suburb of Venice around the Gasthaus zur Krone. Due to the influx of mainly displaced Sudeten Germans , the number of inhabitants rose sharply.

In 1961 the Federal Border Guard moved into the newly built Am Fichtenbühl accommodation on the western outskirts of Nabburg. After the establishment of the Czech Republic in 1993, Border Guard Division 4 South was located there until 1999 . Since then, a branch of the VII riot police department in Sulzbach-Rosenberg has been housed in the property.

Until the regional reform on July 1, 1972, Nabburg was the district town of the district of the same name .

Incorporations

On January 1, 1972, the previously independent community of Brudersdorf was incorporated. On January 1, 1975 Diendorf was added (with Neusath incorporated in 1946). Parts of the dissolved municipality of Hohentreswitz followed on May 1, 1978.

Population development

Between 1988 and 2018 the city grew from 6,020 to 6,117 by 97 inhabitants or 1.6%.

People

The Perschen district was first mentioned in a document in 1122. It was the main town between Nabburg and Pfreimd , both of which belonged to the Perschen parish. In 1216 Pfreimd was raised to an independent parish and the seat of the parish Perschen was moved to Nabburg around 1420.

coat of arms

Blazon : " Growing in red from the edge of the shield and the silver corrugated shield base , inside eleven black wavy threads, covered with a blue fish, a silver castle with a black grooved battlement wall, inside a framed, open, black round portal under a raised wall with open silver gate wings and drawn portcullis, growing out of it, three silver crenellated towers with two black windows each, the middle one larger and unthinked, the flank towers pointed and knotty. "

In a slightly older version, the roofs are blue and the gate wings with portcullis are golden. In another version, the city wall is growing only from the base of the corrugated shield without contact with the edge of the shield and with the gate closed. The flank towers are on the outside at the corners of the wall, the growing middle tower is angular with side extensions, five windows and a hipped roof, very similar to the mane gate.

The coat of arms has existed as a seal since 1314, the fish has adorned it since 1574 to protect against forgery. According to an old legend, he got caught in the gate wing of the Mähntor (from dial. Menen = to lead (horses)) during a Naab flood when it retreated.
