geography

Geographical location

The city of Parsberg is located between the cities of Regensburg and Neumarkt in the valley of the Schwarzen Laber . The city's topography shows great differences in altitude and the lively landscape is known as the Kuppenalb .

geology

The White Jura (Malm) is the defining geological group in Parsberg. Formations of marl, limestone and dolomite stone shape the diverse hilly landscape. The valley of the Schwarzen Laber has cut deeply into the rocks of the White Jura. Corrugated limestone, which appear as white and rugged Jurassic rocks, are the result of karstification that has taken place.

A small peculiarity is the appearance of sinkholes in the woods of Parsberg. These funnel-shaped terrain forms have developed from sinkholes, as a result of corrosion or washout, as well as subsidence of surface layers in underground cavities.

With its humid climate, Parsberg is located in the cool, temperate climate zone . The city is located in the transition area between the humid Atlantic and the dry continental climate . According to the Köppen-Geiger climate classification, Parsberg belongs to the warm, temperate rainy climate (Cfb climate).

Waters

The city area is traversed by the meandering Schwarzen Laber in an east-west direction. The natural course of the river is designed as a representative valley train of the Franconian Jura and divides the urban area into a northern and southern part. The Frauenbach is a left tributary and the Kerschhofener Bach is a right tributary of the Schwarzen Laber in Parsberg.

Neighboring communities

Velburg , Hohenfels , Lupburg , Hemau ,  Breitenbrunn and Seubersdorf in the Upper Palatinate . 

history

Parsberg was first mentioned in 1205 as "Castrum Bartesperch". A mention in the year 933 ("Rüxner'sches Thuernierbuch") is very likely wrong. Probably in 1315 the first Parsberg castle was razed after a brief siege by Duke Ludwig of Bavaria . This was followed by a reconstruction with a significant expansion of the castle complex around 1450. In 1571 almost all the houses in Parsberg, with the exception of the castle and the church, were destroyed by a fire. Destruction of the castle by the Swedes in 1632/33 during the Thirty Years' War is rather unlikely. After 1648, the Parsberg knights no longer had the necessary means for a reconstruction to the current state (since 1600). The last of the Bavarian family of the Lords of Parsberg, Johann Wolfgang von Parsberg, dies on May 7th, 1730. There are descendants in Denmark (Pasbjerg), the USA and Belgium (de Partz de Courtray). The rule of Parsberg passed to the Counts of Schönborn in 1734 . In 1792, Elector Karl Theodor bought the imperial rule until it was incorporated into the Electorate of Bavaria in 1803.

In 1841 the market burned down again to a large extent. In the old center within the market walls, 62 houses, including all baker's, inn and butcher's houses, burned down, only 40 houses were spared. With the construction of the railway in 1872, the Parsberg market began to flourish. The district offices of Velburg and Hemau were merged into the district office of Parsberg on October 1, 1879. The district office was relocated from Velburg to Parsberg after the official building was completed in 1880. In 1952, the Parsberg market was given the name Stadt .

Incorporations

On January 1, 1971, the previously independent community of Rudenshofen was incorporated. On July 1, 1971, Darshofen was added. Herrnried and Willenhofen as well as parts of the dissolved communities Ronsolden and See were added on January 1, 1972. Hörmannsdorf and parts of the dissolved municipality of Degerndorf followed on May 1, 1978.

Administrative community

From May 1, 1978 to December 31, 2001, the town of Parsberg and the market town of Lupburg formed the administrative community . Both municipalities have been self-governing again since 2002.

The coat of arms resembles the shield and family coat of arms of the old Bavarian noble family of the Parsbergs. Markt Parsberg was granted the right to its own coat of arms by the royal decree of King Maximilian I Joseph on June 23, 1813.

At times, blue was used as the field color for the upper half of the shield of the coat of arms, in order to document the Bavarian affiliation. In 1950 the coat of arms was changed again in accordance with the shield of the old Parsbergs.

Culture and sights

Museums

  • The Parsberg Castle Museum includes folklore and local history collections. It emerged from the acquisition and amalgamation of the collections of two deceased teachers and collectors (main teacher Spörer from Hohenburg and senior teacher Singer from Parsberg). In 2007 the museum was expanded to include a contemporary history section, which depicts the time between the Bismarck era and the end of the Second World War and shows both regional and supra-regional aspects.

  • Parsberg Castle above the city

  • St. Andreas and Parsberg Castle

  • St. Andrew's Church and Catholic rectory

Protected areas

In Parsberg, 311 hectares are designated as the Parsberg landscape  protection area.

In addition, parts of the 1159 hectare Natura 2000 area Schwarze Laaber (FFH area) are located in the urban area.

Cultural landscape

The Kuppenalb around Parsberg and Velburg represents a cultural landscape that is important throughout Bavaria due to the clearly recognizable landscape characteristics.

The Jura landscape, including the valley landscape of the Schwarzen Laber with the mostly open, grassland floodplains and the partly large-scale poor and dry grasslands on the slopes is of high cultural landscape value. The historical settlement structures, which are characterized by hamlets and small clustered villages, give the area a special character.

Historical cultural landscape elements in the urban area are also:

  • Parsberg Castle,
  • sacred buildings that are effective in the landscape, such as the parish church of St. Andreas in Parsberg and the parish church of St. Mauritius in Willenhofen as well
  • historical building fabric with pitched roof constructions (based on the Middle Franconian half-timbered construction).

Sports

  • Jura-Mare wave swimming pool
  • Indoor swimming pool
  • six gyms
