history

Evangelical Luth. Parish Church of St. Maria Magdalena, Behringersdorf

The name Schwaig is said to be derived from the Old High German "Sweiga", which means protected pasture. The Zeidler collected honey from bee colonies and traded with it. In the forest they had the privilege to use a demarcated area. In 1350, Emperor Charles IV pledged the Zeidelrecht, which resulted in a change of jurisdiction. The place Schwaig was first mentioned in 1360. The Count of Nassau sold the village to the Burgrave Albrecht of Nuremberg. From 1427 to 1807 the imperial city of Nuremberg was the feudal lord . In the Second Margrave War in 1552 and the Thirty Years War the castle was devastated Schwaiger. The castle was owned by various Nuremberg patrician families . The building was acquired in 1952 by the Protestant parish of Behringersdorf and then passed to the new parish of Schwaig. In 1972 the community of Schwaig bought the castle. The Schwaiger Castle Festival takes place every year in September. In the middle of the 20th century, the economic situation in Schwaig improved significantly due to the settlement of companies and the population increased.

Schwaig with the municipality parts Malmsbach and Mittelbüg belonged to the former district of Nuremberg. The district Mittelbüg was united with Schwaig between 1962 and 1973. In the course of the municipal reform , the district of Nuremberg was dissolved on January 1, 1972. Schwaig came to the district of Lauf an der Pegnitz, which was renamed the district of Nürnberger Land in 1973 . On May 15, 1976, the community of Behringersdorf was incorporated.

coat of arms

Schwaig has had the municipal coat of arms since 1979, when the two municipalities of Behringersdorf and Schwaig were united. The two bees were taken from the Schwaiger coat of arms from 1967. They symbolize the Schwaiger Zeidelwesen (forest beekeeping), which was controlled by the city of Nuremberg in the Middle Ages. The Bienengartenstraße, the Zeidlerweg and the Zeidlerbrunnen with two beehives on the square in front of the S-Bahn station in Schwaig are reminiscent of the Zeidlerei.

The burning branches (sticks) are taken from the coat of arms of Behringersdorf. They originally come from the coat of arms of the Nuremberg Schürstab family, which played a leading role in the local history of Behringersdorf. Schürstabstrasse is a reminder of this.

Schwaig Castle
Castle Malmsbach
  • Schwaiger Castle; former Zeidel Muttergut from the 15th century. The core of the main building dates from the second half of the 16th century and was renovated in the middle of the 18th century. The property belonged "before the age" to the landlord and then to Ebner . In 1545 the imperial city approved the Nuremberg citizen Hanns Dietz to expand the manor house that was already in existence. As a result, it changed hands more frequently, and Hans Christoph Gugel inherited the manor house through marriage around 1589. The modest mansion was at that time considerably “pussworthy” and also “uncomfortable”, so that in 1590 Gugel planned a renovation. Two larger bay windows and three dormers were to be demolished and replaced by four turrets at the corners, and a new toilet was to be built in the east. Hans Christoph Gugel and his son-in-law Johann Christoph Hardesheim (1575–1620) followed Paulus Ayrer, who married Hardesheim's widow, at the beginning of the Thirty Years' War. Probably around 1632/34 the manor was "ruined by the majority". It came to the Dietherr von Anwanden family , who temporarily restored it. The next major renovation took place under the Dietherr family in 1708, which this time brought with it the expansion of the area, which was still refused in 1545. This conversion is likely to have significantly shaped the current appearance of the manor house. Johann Christoph Dietherr, Johann Georg's son, died in 1709 as the last of his line. From 1727 to 1814 the manor came to the Waldstromer von Reichelsdorf family through marriage . Christoph Jacob Waldstromer replaced the first and second half-timbered floors with massive external walls. During these years, the interior was also modernized, as can be seen from the still-preserved Rococo stucco ceilings. Under Christoph Wilhelm Waldstromer, who inherited the Schwaig headquarters in 1766, further extensive renovation measures followed from 1799. Christoph Wilhelm, who served as the last Nuremberg Reichsschultheiß from 1804 to 1806 , died in 1810 and left the Schwaiger property to his son Carl Alexander Waldstromer, who was entered in the Bavarian aristocratic register in 1814. With his son Christoph Carl Alexander, one of the oldest Nuremberg families went out in 1844. Schwaig Castle passed into bourgeois hands and was owned by the Riegel family for a long time. The three-storey solid building with the stair tower attached to the south came to the Protestant parish in 1952, which set up a church hall in the ground floor hall. In 1972 the community of Schwaig took over the property, which was first rented out, then renovated around 1992 and set up for cultural purposes and community work.

sports clubs

Schwaig has two sports clubs ( SV Schwaig and TSV Behringersdorf), a sports center and an indoor and outdoor pool "Pegnitzaue".
