history

Until the church is planted

Schirmitz was first mentioned in a document in 1223 when "Marcward von Schirnwitz" appeared as a witness in a legal dispute between Diepold von Leuchtenberg and Heinrich von Ortenburg-Murach . The place was later part of the Electorate of Bavaria and formed a closed Hofmark of the barons of Hannakam, whose seat was Schirmitz. In the course of the administrative reforms in Bavaria , today's municipality was created with the municipal edict of 1818 .

economy

The Schirmitz economy is primarily structured on a small scale. Small and medium-sized companies, especially in the skilled trades, shape the corporate landscape. There are several wood processing companies, gardening and landscaping, hairdressers, butchers and restaurants in the community. A now only very small percentage of the population work in agriculture and forestry. There are no larger industrial companies.

In the south of Schirmitz there is a larger E.ON 110 kV substation .

Parish and Church

St. Jacob Church

In addition to the parish of Schirmitz, the parish of Schirmitz also includes the places Bechtsrieth and Trebsau. In the area of ​​Schirmitz there are two churches: the Jakobskirche, popularly known as the "Old Church", and the parish church of Maria Königin, known as the "New Church". Until 1958, the Jakobskirche was the only church in Schirmitz and, as a parish church, the center of religious life. It stands together with the cemetery, rectory, old kindergarten and today's Jakobsklause at the southern exit of the village. St. Jakob is a choir tower church that was built around the year 1300. The tower erected directly above the chancel, to which a single-nave nave adjoins, is typical. In 1957 the foundation stone for the new parish church Maria Königin was laid. The symbolic foundation stone (lapis primarius) can be seen in the sacristy area of ​​the church. At the end of 1958, mass celebrations could already be held in the not yet completely finished church. The Jakobskirche is mainly used for weddings, funerals and occasionally for church services.
