Schmidheim , now a desert , was part of the Geroldsee municipality in the Parsberg district of Upper Palatinate . The hamlet, which was historically divided into Ober- and Unterschmidheim, was relocated with the Geroldsee community in 1951 because of the Hohenfels American military training area to be built .

Geographical location

The desert lies at 500 m above sea ​​level about 1.5 km north of the southern boundary of the military training area. The corridor is enclosed by the Schützenberg (592 m above sea level) and the Schneeberg (approx. 575 m above sea level) in the west, the Steinerberg (592 m above sea level) in the south and the Langen Striegel with 599 m above sea level in the east. Historically, a road coming from Parsberg led via Oberschmidheim in a northerly direction to Unterschmidheim and on to today's Hohenburg market .

history

Schmidheim, as a “home place”, can be attributed to an early, planned settlement of the area by the Franconian monarchy.

The hamlet belonged to the Lutzmannstein rule, which fell to the Duchy of Bavaria after the family died out in 1268/69. In the following period there was the Wittelsbach office of Lutzmannstein. In the first land register of the office of circa 1285 "Smidheim" is listed with a yard. The Kastl monastery owned another farm in the 14th century . The rule of Lutzmannstein was awarded to nobles; When the heirs of Friedrich Kemnather sold the rule to Duke Johann von Pfalz-Neumarkt in 1428 , a subject named Rubenher was sitting in the yard of the Lutzmannstein zu Schmidheim rule. At the end of the Old Kingdom , around 1800, Schmidheim consisted of several properties that belonged to different manorial offices that bordered one another here. At this point in time the Lutzmannstein rulership, which included three properties in the hamlet, owned Gi (e) se . As usual, the children attended school in the parish.

By the Kingdom of Bavaria (1806), the Geroldsee tax district in the Parsberg district court was established around 1810 . This included Geroldsee, Dantersdorf , Krumpenwinn and (Ober- and Unter-) Schmidheim. With the second Bavarian community edict of 1818, the tax district became a rural community in unchanged form , to which, however, the wastes of Hölle and Gstetterthal were attached in 1867 . Lived in Schmidheim

  • 1836 34 inhabitants (5 houses),
  • 1871 52 inhabitants (21 buildings; large livestock 1873: 2 horses, 51 head of cattle),
  • 1900 57 inhabitants (6 residential buildings),
  • 1925 50 inhabitants (6 residential buildings),
  • 1937 54 inhabitants (only Catholics),
  • 1950 58 inhabitants (7 residential buildings).

In the course of the formation of a military training area for US and NATO troops, the municipality of Geroldsee was evacuated by October 1, 1951, with the exception of the district of Dantersdorf outside the military training area, and its residents were relocated; On January 25, 1952, the government of Upper Palatinate decided to place Dantersdorf on March 25, 1952, part of the Velburg community . On October 6, 1958, the Bavarian State Ministry of the Interior ordered the liquidation of the remainder of the Geroldsee municipality. Schmidheim went out with that.

Church conditions

Schmidheim belonged to the Catholic parish Hörmannsdorf in the diocese of Eichstätt . In 1540 the Reformation was carried out under Pfalz-Neuburg , and in 1618 the re-Catholicization . All subjects had to change faith, including the residents of Schmidheim. In the larger Unterschmidheim (1937 48 inhabitants) there was a chapel that was built in 1759 by the farmer J. Leonhard Rödl. The consecration took place in 1817. In 1883 the now privately owned branch chapel of St. Bartholomew was expanded and its tower was raised, in which the two bells that were cast by Herold in Nuremberg in 1758 were again placed.

Monuments

The side walls of the St. Bartholomew Chapel and the tower substructure have been preserved since the town was abandoned and are classified as architectural monuments under the number D-3-73-167-130. In addition, archaeological findings in the area of ​​the chapel ruins are included in the list of monuments under No. D-3-6736-0071.
