geography
Geographical location
The municipality of Sengenthal is located south of Neumarkt , on the western rise to the Upper Palatinate Jura of the Franconian Alb .
Community structure
Sengenthal has 21 districts:
The districts are Forst, Reichertshofen, Sengenthal and Stauf.
history
In the 13th century, Sengenthal and Forst were still part of the imperial Hofmark Berngau , which came to the Wittelsbachers after the death of the last Staufer Konradin.
In Reichertshofen, on the other hand, a family of servants from the Reichsministerial von Stein resided. The Reichertshofers, who are mentioned in a document between 1315 and 1424, had their property in fiefdom . After the Reichertshofers died out, fiefdom was transferred to the von Wolfstein family , while the team and subordination remained electoral. The inclined beam with the three stars in the coat of arms of the municipality of Sengenthal was taken from the coat of arms of the Reichertshofer.
With the formation of the Reichertshofen parish 125 years ago (previously at the Berngau parish), a connection corresponding to today's parish was created for the first time between the places of the parish of Sengenthal, which at that time was reinforced by a school district Reichertshofen, Buchberg and Sengenthal with school headquarters in Reichertshofen. Significant changes in today's municipal area did not occur until after 1945. Due to the industrialization (construction and building materials industry) and the rail connection, the population of the municipality of Sengenthal rose from 900 in 1939 to over 3500 in the 2010s. In addition, there was a major structural change.
In Sengenthal there is a primary school for children from the municipality and a Catholic kindergarten.
Incorporations
On January 1, 1972, the previously independent communities of Forst and Reichertshofen were incorporated. On July 1, 1972, the Buchberg district of the dissolved community of Stauf (now the city of Neumarkt ) was added.
Population development
Between 1988 and 2018 the municipality grew from 2,022 to 3,621 by 1,599 inhabitants or 79.1% - the highest percentage increase in the district in the period mentioned.
