Ruppmannsburg

Ruppmannsburg is a district of the Markt Thalmässing in the Central Franconian district of Roth in Bavaria .

Geographical location

The church village is surrounded by fields and meadows at 582 meters above sea level in the Altmühltal nature park , around three kilometers southwest of Thalmässing. It is the highest Jura village in the Roth district, and from the place you have a wide view of the Jura plateau - occasionally as far as the Alps when the weather is foehn. The next larger city is Weißenburg, 16 km away .

The village corridor is 268 hectares .

Place name interpretation

The place name comes from the Gau "Rudmarsberg / Rodmaresperch", a plateau between the Weißenburger Forst and Kipfenberg , on which Ruppmannsburg lies. This area name is based on the Old High German personal name Hrodmar.

history

In 1898, Dean Müller uncovered a prehistoric burial ground with skeletons with no additions near Ruppmannsburg .

The place was mentioned for the first time in 1080, namely in the deed granted by Emperor Heinrich IV to Bishop Udalrich I of Eichstätt . In the 12th century the settlement was called "Ruodmarsperch". In 1130 Ulrich von Thalmässing, Erlwein von Au and the Konverse Gottfried donated goods in Ruppmannsburg to the Berchtesgaden monastery . From 1233 to 1263, Burchardus de Rutmarsberge, a citizen of the imperial city of Nuremberg , is mentioned as a member of the local nobility. In 1411 the Propstei (Groß-) Höbing of the Berchtesgaden Monastery, which also administered the Ruppmannsburg monastery property, was transferred to the Kastl Monastery . In 1457 there was a change of ownership from the Kastl monastery to the Eichstätt cathedral chapter .

Troubled times followed. On April 21, 1525, rebellious farmers met on the Ruppmannsberg to form the "Mässinger Haufe", which took the Obermässinger Castle , the town of Greding and the Plankstetten Monastery in the so-called Peasants' War , before it was destroyed by Count Palatine Friedrich . 1534 was a very dry year, the cisterns "in monte (on the mountain) Rutmersperg" had no water, as the Rebdorf Prior Kilian Leib noted in his annals. During the Thirty Years' War Ruppmannsburg was ravaged by the Swedes; In 1642 there were neither horses nor oxen in the village.

From 1651 until the 18th century, Bohner ore was mined in the area and smelted in Obereichstätt . In the 18th century, the village made up 25 farmsteads, 23 in 1904 and 22 in 1952.

Towards the end of the Old Kingdom , around 1800, the village consisted of 24 estates, which belonged to the following offices:

In addition to the church, there was also a schoolhouse and a shepherd's house. The village and community rulership was exercised by the Stauf caste office, the high jurisdiction was exercised by the Brandenburg-Ansbach Oberamt Stauf-Landeck.

In the new Kingdom of Bavaria (1806), Ruppmannsburg and Reichersdorf came to the Wengen tax district in 1808 . With the community edict of 1818, Ruppmannsburg and Reichersdorf were merged to form the Rural community of Ruppmannsburg. Initially (from 1809) in the Raitenbuch regional court , the community came to the Greding regional court in 1812 . It was incorporated into the Thalmässing market on January 1, 1972 as part of the regional reform in Bavaria .

In 1846 the village had 117 Protestant "souls" and was equipped with its own school belonging to St. Gotthard in Thalmässing. A landlord, a blacksmith, two tailors and a shoemaker worked in the village. The Reichersdorf belonging to the community also had a host for 85 “souls”. In 1875, 121 (Protestant) residents kept three horses and 177 head of cattle by the local farmers on large cattle. In the whole community there were now nine horses, 302 head of cattle, 406 sheep, 119 pigs and three goats. In 1900, 30 horses, 323 head of cattle, 324 sheep and 160 pigs were kept in the community.
