Nordgau day
The Nordgautag , which has been a cultural festival for the Upper Palatinate since 2018 , is a regular cultural and homeland care event with the aim of maintaining and cultivating a cultural sense of togetherness in the Upper Palatinate and the area of the former Nordgau .
history
The event dates back to the 1927 Czechoslovak Cheb (German Eger ) by the association "Our Egerland " discharged Nordgauische week and the Upper Palatinate week as part of Albrecht Durer 1928 in Nuremberg on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the Upper Palatinate regular club Nuremberg , on the initiative of the physician and writer Heinz Schauwecker came about. These two events on both sides of the German-Czech border were individual projects that were independent of each other, but together they formed the basic idea of Schauwecker for the establishment of the joint "Upper Palatinate-Egerland Association of Homeland Care Associations in the Nordgau" in 1930 and the first joint event.
In the line of tradition, the home conference held in Cham in 1930 was part of a “big home day”, which is counted as the first official “Nordgau day”. From 1930 to 1935, the event, which was held annually in different cities at the time, probably already bore its current name. The pressure from the NSDAP to bring about conformity led to the series of events coming to a standstill for years after 1935.

After the Second World War , the efforts of CSU politician Friedrich Arnold and Schauweckers in collaboration with the Regensburg Writers' Group (RSG) led to a new edition from 1948 onwards . So in 1951 there was another Egerland Day in Regensburg with the motto “Upper Palatinate and Egerland Hand in Hand” as the first post-war event in the tradition and the Upper Palatinate working group “Bayerischer Nordgau” was brought into being. In 1952 the event was renamed Nordgau Day again for the first time. For the first time, the then organizing city of Amberg awarded the Nordgau Culture Prize of the city of Amberg (since 1982 Nordgau Prize of the Upper Palatinate Cultural Association ), among others to the responsible city councilor as well as to Arnold and Schauwecker as thanks for their commitment. Until 1954, the Nordgautag was initially held annually, since then, with the exception of 2009, every two years. In the meantime, the working group “Bayerischer Nordgau” and the resulting “Oberpfälzer Heimatbund” merged to form the Oberpfälzer Kulturbund (OKB) in 1969, which has since organized the Nordgau Days in collaboration with the Eghalanda Gmoin .
Willi Ulfig designed the logo for the Nordgautage . After the establishment and takeover of the organization of the Nordgautage by the Oberpfälzer Kulturbund founded in 1969, the Bavarian Prime Minister took over the patronage .
At its general meeting in April 2017, the Oberpfälzer Kulturbund decided to rename the event in keeping with the times for the following events as “The Upper Palatinate Culture Festival” on the grounds that the younger generations could not associate the term “Nordgau” with much “because it is not used in schools is still transported in the parental home ”and“ older citizens often associate the term with negative associations such as 'eternally yesterday' or assign it to the Nazi era ”. The new name should also express that it is about the Upper Palatinate people and not about the region itself. OKB President Volker Liedtke added in 2018 that the borders of the so-called "Northern Gau" are shifting repeatedly and are no longer precisely defined. The Nordgau goes through the Upper Palatinate, "via Tirschenreuth far into the Egerland".
