Pappenberg - ruins of the former parish church

Pappenberg is a former municipality and an extinct parish village ( desert ) on the current site of the Grafenwöhr military training area in the Neustadt an der Waldnaab district in Bavaria . The former Catholic parish Pappenberg also included other areas such as the neighboring communities of Leuzenhof and Höhenberg.

history

In 1433 three pastors were mentioned in the registers . The Catholic parish church of the Assumption of Mary with origins from the 14th century was formerly a much-visited place of pilgrimage to Mary. A detailed description can be found in “Die Kunstdenkmäler von Bayern - Bezirksamt Eschenbach” (reprint of the 1909 edition by R. Oldenbourg-Verlag Munich / Vienna).

The image of the Virgin Mary is said to have been brought to the Strahov Monastery in Prague during the Thirty Years' War . Research showed that it can no longer be found there. A copy is in Wolfskofen , where the rest of the interior of the Pappenberg Church is also located. When the parish moved away around 1938, 25 families founded a new village with a parish church near Wolfskofen, and the Pappenberg parish moved to Wolfskofen in a canonical sense.

The "Kuckucks-Kirwa" ( cuckoos are said to have been many in the woods ) was known throughout the region . Pappenberger could be teased by imitating the cuckoo's call in their presence, because this was intended to indicate that the inhabitants of the village allegedly roasted cuckoos in the absence of chickens.

The parish was evacuated and dissolved in 1938/39 as part of the expansion of the exercise area that had existed since 1907, and the 628 residents of the entire parish were relocated (subsequently ordered by the Bavarian State Ministry of the Interior from August 22, 1951). The former community belongs to the core area of the Grafenwöhr military training area. The area, which has been free from parishes since 1939, was incorporated into the city of Grafenwöhr on July 1, 1978. Today the ruined tower serves as a target for target practice by NATO troops.

population

According to the census of 1871, 392 inhabitants were recorded for the municipality Pappenberg, 213 of them in the parish village of the same name. The remaining inhabitants were distributed among the hamlets of Annahütte (99), Grünhund (32) and Wolfslegel (38), a few kilometers east of the village, as well as the Einöde Schmierhütte or Grünhunder Schmierhütte (10).

For the census on June 16, 1925, 268 inhabitants were recorded on an area of 916.11 hectares (area status January 1, 1928), which refer to the main town Pappenberg (219) and the hamlets of Grünhund (17), Wolfslegel (9) and Ziegelhütte (3) distributed.
