history

Until the 19th century

Emperor Ludwig the Bavarian granted the Osterhofen market complete jurisdiction in 1324, with the exception of cases which were subject to the death penalty.

Landgrave Johann von Leuchtenberg acquired feudal rights over the Hofmark for 5000 gold guilders from Bamberg's Bishop Lamprecht and founded the new town of Osterhofen in 1378 near the previous market in Osterhofen. Most of the citizens were resettled, which means that the old Osterhofen, which was also called Altosterhofen or Osterhofen in the old market until the end of the 16th century and has since been called Altenmarkt , sank into the village.

Buildings

  • Basilica Altenmarkt : The baroque church of St. Margaret of formerly the Order of Norbertine belonging monastery Altenmarkt and current parish church of the parish Altenmarkt was in 1726 by Johann Michael Fischer built and by the brothers Cosmas Damian and Quirin Asam Egid equipped. The church is one of Fischer's earliest independent buildings of remarkable originality. The title Basilica minor was given to it in 1983 by Pope John Paul II . In terms of design, it is a wall pillar church . This conventional southern German type is varied by Fischer with off-side chapels on an oval floor plan, a reminiscence of the curved architecture of Bohemia and Moravia, which Fischer got to know during his apprenticeship. The congenial furnishings of the Asam brothers give the monastery church an extraordinarily splendid, almost lavish spatial impression.
  • Pilgrimage chapel Maria, Refuge of sinners : The chapel is located directly opposite the Asambasilika, it was built during the Thirty Years War as thanks for the rescue from the Swedes and consecrated in 1640.
