history

Until the church is planted

Ornbau was first mentioned in a document in 838. The name changed over the centuries from "Arenburen" (1057/75) to the current name, which has been in use since 1800. The basic word of the place name is the old high German word "būr" (= apartment) and the defining word is the personal name "Aro". The place name means the apartment that was founded by Aro .

Ornbau formed its own bailiwick around 1300 (market rights since 1229) . The place consisted of a walled and an unprotected settlement (today's suburb). Ornbau formed its own officiatus, also called minister, with its surroundings. Income from customs and courts flowed to the bishop of Eichstätt . Because of the attacks by the Counts of Oettingen , the area around Ornbau was awarded to the Prince-Bishop in 1313 . At that time, the emperor allowed Ornbau to be fortified, i.e. to be surrounded by a wall. This gave the settlement the character of a civitas , a city with municipal rights . From 1500 the city was part of the Franconian Empire .

During the witch hunt in the Hochstift Eichstätt at least three women from Ornbau were executed for alleged witchcraft. In 1616 Anna Demertin, alias the nose cutter and Apollonia Veitin, and in 1617 Christina Magin. Five other women were arrested for the same reason between 1616 and 1619. One of them was released, the fate of the others is unclear.

During the Thirty Years' War during the Swedish military campaign from Donauwörth to Regensburg under the command of Bernhard von Sachsen-Weimar near Ornbau, a battle with the cavalry troops of the Bavarian general Johann von Werth took place, in which the Bavarian troops suffered a severe defeat ( battle for Regensburg ) .

With the municipal edict (early 19th century), the Ornbau tax district was formed, to which the towns of Gern , Haag , Obermühl , Oberndorf and Taugenroth belonged. A little later the rural community Ornbau was formed, which only consisted of the main town. It was subject to the Herrieden district court in terms of administration and jurisdiction . In 1961 the municipality had an area of 8,953 km².

Incorporations

On January 1, 1972, the previously independent municipality of Gern was incorporated.

badges and flags

Ornbau has had its own coat of arms since the 14th century.

Blazon : "In red a golden lion holding an upright golden bishop's staff with its front paws turned away."

Red and gold municipal flag

Reasons for the coat of arms: The lion is one of the three lions from the English royal coat of arms, which in the late Middle Ages was believed to be the coat of arms of St. Willibald, the first bishop of Eichstätt. It was run by the Eichstätt cathedral chapter. The staff is taken from the coat of arms of the Hochstift von Eichstätt. Before 1671 the shield was split (left bishop's staff, right lion).
