history

First mention

The first documentary mention was in the year 1007 in connection with the establishment of the diocese of Bamberg . The new diocese gave King Henry II. On November 1, 1007 the old royal court Vorchheim ( Forchheim ) in Radenzgau with all accessories for miles around and all hearing Forchheim like "Truobaha" (Trubach) and "Tuoisbrunno" ( Thuisbrunn ). Before that there is only scant news from the time of Charlemagne (786–814). In 794, the names of the places "Trobach" and "Herzewin" (Herzogwind) appeared for the first time. Obertrubach has a history that goes back over a thousand years.

religion

Obertrubach is the parish of the Catholic parish of St. Laurentius Obertrubach. There you will find the parish church of the same name and the Catholic meeting place St. Elisabeth . The following branch churches belong to the parish of Obertrubach:

Incorporations

On January 1, 1972, what was then the community of Wolfsberg with Untertrubach, Dörfles, Sorg and Hundsdorf joined the community of Obertrubach. In the course of the territorial reform, the former municipalities Bärnfels (with Galgenberg), which was created on January 1, 1953 by outsourcing from Kleingesee, and Geschwand (with Linden), which was called Gschwand until 1875, as well as the place Haselstauden, became the incorporated into the dissolved municipality of Thuisbrunn.

Outsourcing

On May 1, 1978, the Möchs part of the municipality with more than 50 inhabitants was spun off in the Hiltpoltstein market.

Temporary meeting place for neo-Nazis

In the media there were reports about neo-Nazi events such as celebrations and concerts in the Geschwand district of Obertrubach for several years until the last time in 2011 . The meadow used for the events was auctioned in 2006 by the wife of an activist of the Franconian Action Front , which was banned in 2004 . Politicians from the NPD and the band The Lunikoff Conspiracy took part in the events.

The community of Obertrubach initially tried, unlike the community of Graefenberg , a few kilometers away , which fought against neo-Nazi marches with numerous actions, to ignore the events. At the end of July 2010, the mayor of Obertrubach announced in a discussion forum that he would take action against the neo-Nazi events. Another neo-Nazi concert took place in Geschwand in May 2011, and the 2011 Frankentag was moved to Roden by the organizers . An "entertainment festival" registered for June 2, 2012 by a management member of Freie Netz Süd was prevented by the community by refusing a special permit for the dirt road leading to the meadow, which was only released for agricultural vehicles. The access ban was confirmed by the Bayreuth Administrative Court following a complaint by the organizer .

coat of arms

In 1972 the formerly independent communities of Obertrubach and Wolfsberg were merged under the name Obertrubach. The municipal council decided to adopt the Wolfsberg coat of arms unchanged for the new municipality. It has been in operation since July 25, 1973.

The description of the coat of arms reads: "In gold on a silver three-mountain a growing, two-towered, tinned, black castle ruin with a central breach, in it elevated by a red- tongued black wolf's hull ."

Declaration of the coat of arms: The Dreiberg represents the location of the municipality in Franconian Switzerland and stands at the same time as the Wolfsrumpf for the place name Wolfsberg. The black castle ruins represent Wolfsberg Castle from the 12th century, as a reminder of the historical significance in the Bamberg Monastery . Around 1333 the castle came to the Lords of Egloffstein , which is reminiscent of the colors gold and black.

Climbing information center Franconian Switzerland

The community is located in the middle of the Northern Franconian Jura climbing area , numerous hiking and cycling trails such as the Frankenweg lead through the community area.

The climbing information center Franconian Switzerland was set up at the gates of the community and not far from the overhanging wall of the famous "Eldorado". It is intended to draw attention to the importance of the region for the development of climbing and to give Franconian Switzerland even more attention. The region in the triangle between Forchheim, Bamberg and Bayreuth is one of Germany's most important climbing regions. The Franconian Jura covers 2300 square kilometers with around 1000 rocks and 12,000 individual routes. The aim of the approximately 2000 square meter information center is to provide interested visitors, active athletes, newcomers and families with children with everything they need to know about climbing. This concerns the climbing area Frankenjura, climbing techniques and the flora around the climbing rocks. Under a pavilion, the more than one hundred year old tradition of climbing, historical and current techniques, safety aspects and nature and environmental issues are discussed on six movable walls with numerous photos, graphics and explanatory text.
