Geographical location

Rödlas located in the northern city of Hirschau on the border of the district Amberg-Sulzbach for Neustadt an der Waldnaab .

Natural allocation

Rödlas is located in the north of the Upper Palatinate hill country . Since sheet 154/155 Bayreuth of the single sheets 1: 200,000 for the manual of the natural spatial structure of Germany has not been published, there is no detailed breakdown for the northern part of the Upper Palatinate hill country .

In relevant specialist literature, the geological subunit in which Rödlas is located is referred to as the Kohlberger ridges .

history

It is believed that Rödlas was founded in 1348/1349 before the first great plague wave. "The three Höff von Rödleins" (Rödlas) were first mentioned in a document in the military register of the Hirschau nursing office in 1501.

In a directory by Ignatz Biechl from 1783 and in a directory by Johann W. Melchinger from 1796, Rödlas is mentioned as a village belonging to the Hirschau court , the Amberg rent office and the Regensburg diocese .

The Oberpfälzer Waldverein Massenricht built a game reserve and a forest nature trail in Rödlas in 1970. Also in 1970 the forest association began building a log cabin, the Rödlaser mountain hut.

In 1977 the construction of the Rödlasturm began.

On May 1, 1978 Rödlas was conducted as part of the community mass directivity in the course of municipal reform incorporated into the city Hirschau.

In 1990 the Rödlaser Berghütte was brought into its current form through expansion measures.

Religions

The religious confusion of the 16th and 17th centuries also had an impact in the area around Rödlas. It can be assumed that Rödlas, who has always belonged to the Benefice and later to the Ehenfeld branch , changed denominations several times. In 1628 Rödlas became finally Catholic together with Ehenfeld.

Ehenfeld is still independent as a parish, but has formed a pastoral care unit with Hirschau since 2003.

Chapel in Rödlas

chapel

In 1950/1951, the first chapel in Rödlas was built as a private chapel by Johann and Magdalena Bogner. The construction of the chapel is based on the vow of a son from the neighboring Bogner estate. In the last weeks of the Second World War, he deserted together with three other soldiers from the Western Front in northern Germany. In just nine days, the four soldiers made it to their homeland without being discovered. After arriving home, he hid on his parents' property for 17 days, even though SS soldiers were quartered there. When the Allies moved in on April 22, 1945, the young man was freed from his predicament. Thereupon he kept his promise: He donated the chapel and entered the monastery.

In 1994 Konrad Bogner had the old chapel demolished and rebuilt in the same place. On June 30, 1996 the newly built chapel "Maria - Hilfe der Christisten" in Rödlas was inaugurated by Auxiliary Bishop Karl Flügel .

Rödlasturm

→ Main article : Rödlas observation tower

The Rödlasturm is a 32 meter high observation tower at 570 m above sea level. NN. Like the mountain hut, the tower was built by the local mass judge group of the Upper Palatinate Forest Association. When the weather is clear, it offers a view of the two basalt cones Parkstein and Rauher Kulm , to the east of the Czech Republic, to the south of Hirschau with Monte Kaolino and Schnaittenbach and to the west of the mountains of Franconian Switzerland . The tower could not be restored with the association's own funds, but this was achieved by placing their antennas there.
