Neunkirchen bei Weiden is a village and a former Bavarian municipality . Today Neunkirchen is a district of Weiden in the Upper Palatinate .
history
Neunkirchen was the mother parish of Weiden and is an early foundation. The first documentary mention can be found in a papal incorporation confirmation, which was issued in 1298 by Pope Boniface VIII . The place had been the seat of one of the seven courts of the Parkstein-Weiden Community Office since the 15th century , in which the Parksteiner Landrichter ruled together with twelve jury in cases of high and low jurisdiction . In 1542 Protestantism was introduced by the sovereign Ottheinrich of the Palatinate. In 1628, Duke Wolfgang Wilhelm von Pfalz-Neuburg ordered his subjects to return to Catholicism. With the Neuburg Main Settlement, the Simultaneum was introduced in the rule Sulzbach and thus also in Neunkirchen in 1652 . Sulzbach became a part of spa Bavaria again in 1777 . The political community Neunkirchen with the community parts Neunkirchen, Brandweiher and Wiesendorf was established in 1818 by the municipal edict in Bavaria. On July 1, 1972, Neunkirchen was incorporated into Weiden.
Architectural monuments
The ensemble encompasses the core of the village of Neunkirchen, which was the mother parish of Weiden and, through the church patronage of the Franconian Saint Dionysius, refers to an early founding period. The two high-altitude churches to the west of the city document a significant piece of Upper Palatinate denominational history with the peculiar Simultaneum in a very small space. The medieval eastern church, today's evang.-luth. Parish church, shows defensibility on the mighty choir tower and on the high churchyard wall. On the west and south sides, also in a sheltering function, are the parsonage facilities, the former Protestant schoolhouse from the 18th century and the former Catholic schoolhouse from 1863, all with hipped roofs. The neo-baroque Catholic Church emerged as a counterpoint in the west between 1910 and 1912. A cast-iron signpost at the southeast corner is an attractive detail.
