history

According to oral tradition, in the 7th century St. Rupert , who later became Bishop of Salzburg, preached during his missionary work in a place called "Blessed Place" and which is said to refer to today's Selingstadt.

As an “instead of” town, Selingstadt is on an old street. The church village is first mentioned in 1345.

In terms of church, Selingstadt (an older name for the place was also based on “Seeligendorf”) with the church of St. Georg was a branch of the original parish of Laibstadt . Century branch of the parish of Heideck; from 1421 an auxiliary priest of this parish had to read mass regularly in Selingstadt .

In 1472 the office of Heideck and with it Selingstadt came to Bavaria and after the Landshut War of Succession in 1505 to the newly established Principality of Pfalz-Neuburg . When the Heideck administration office in Palatinate-Neuburg, and thus Selingstadt with its 27 subject properties, was pledged to the Burgraves of Nuremberg in 1542 , Nuremberg introduced the Reformation that same year and established its own parish in Selingstadt. In 1585 the Heideck von Pfalz-Neuburg office was redeemed. The reintroduction of the Catholic religious practice in the Heideck office and thus also in Selingstadt did not take place until the re-Catholicization of Neuburg-Palatinate under the returned to the old church, Count Palatine Wolfgang Wilhelm, from 1627 through a Jesuit station in Heideck ; 1642 secular priests replaced the Jesuits. In the Thirty Years' War Selingstadt was sacked.

At the end of the Old Kingdom , around 1800, there were 29 properties in Selingstadt, including a shepherd's house and a cone landlord, with subjects of the Heideck district judge in the Palatinate-Neuburg region as the manor. The village was subordinate to the Heideck administration office in the Palatinate-Neuburg region.

In the new Kingdom of Bavaria (1806) Selingstadt came to the tax district Unterrödel, until it formed its own municipality in the judicial district and rent office (later district office and district court) Hilpoltstein .

Until 1814, the gallows of the Lords von Heideck's neck court, located in the town of Heideck , stood near Selingstadt . In 1838 the community built a school building; the schoolmaster had to provide sacristan service until 1908 . The few Protestants (1937: 2) were parish in Alfershausen .

The number of properties in Selingstadt was around 30 until the middle of the 20th century. In 1875 there were 32 residential buildings in the village; the livestock consisted of 14 horses, 192 head of cattle, as many sheep, 55 pigs and four goats. For 1903 the Bavarian city directory shows 31 residential buildings, 20 horses, 191 head of cattle, 106 sheep, 126 pigs and four goats; the Catholic village school belonged to the Hilpoltstein school district.

With the regional reform in Bavaria , the church village became part of the town of Heideck in the Roth district on January 1, 1972; Even before the regional reform, the municipality of Selingstadt had carried out a land consolidation .

Catholic branch church St. Georg

From 1483 to 1485, according to the building inscription, the late Gothic four-storey saddle tower, which is visible from afar due to the high altitude of Selingstadt, was built from sandstone blocks, in which the choir is located with a star vault. Around 1700 the flat-roofed nave of 13.40 × 8.60 meters with 14-Nothelfer-, Maria Hilf- and St. Georg altar was rebuilt. The church was supposed to be demolished in 1804, but was then left to the community in exchange for the state's third construction load. In 1807 the cemetery was moved outside the village. In 1834, however, the cemetery around the church came into use again. In 1861 the statue of the patron saint was newly procured, in 1884 a new sacristy was built on the south side of the choir and in 1885 an organ (6 registers) was installed for the first time. In 1937, three bells from the late 15th or early 16th century hung in the tower. In 2000, a Gothic mural fragment was uncovered in the nave , which refutes the previous assumption that the nave was built.

Every year in Selingstadt on the Sunday after April 23rd, the Georgsfest is celebrated with the blessing of horses.
