Nasnitz

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nasnitz is a district of the city of Auerbach in the Upper Palatinate with about 260 inhabitants.

Was first mentioned in the village in the founding document of the monastery in the neighboring Michel Field on May 6, 1119 under the name Nuseze ; the small place was a gift from Bishop Otto von Bamberg to the monastery. Nasnitz took on several names, including Nuseze (1119) and Newsezze (1326), although there were several spellings in the 15th century, namely Newses , Newsess , Newsees and Neusess . The current name Nasnitz originated between the 16th and 17th centuries . Contrary to popular belief that Nasnitz comes from Slavic , the origin lies in Niuwesaeze , which means something like to the new seat .

During the Second World War, there was a Russian work detachment in Nasnitz with a total of 49 prisoners of war . The forced laborers were housed in the hall of an inn and had to march to Michelfeld station early in the morning under guard . From there they were taken by train to Rupprechtstegen , where they had to do track construction work. Two of the prisoners were "sorted out as unusable elements" by the Gestapo and murdered on October 10, 1941 in the Flossenbürg concentration camp .

On May 1, 1978, the previously independent municipality was incorporated into the city of Auerbach in the Upper Palatinate.
