history

St. Johannis in May 2008

In 1234 the Siechkobel St. Johannis was first mentioned as a leprosy station . In 1307, Queen Elisabeth , wife of Albrecht I of Habsburg (1298–1308), gave the "Johannisfelder" to the Siechkobel. In 1354 Berthold Haller founded the pilgrims' hostel "Heilig-Kreuz-Spital", in whose nursing home the Haller family had the right to live from 1354 until it was destroyed in 1945.

In 1427 the castle was sold to the city of Nuremberg by the Hohenzollern family , but Johannis remained a fiefdom of the princes as a land area . The painter and art theorist Albrecht Dürer died in 1528 and was buried in the Johannisfriedhof . After the Prussians occupied the land areas of Nuremberg, St. Johannis became an independent rural parish. In 1806 the old Siechkobel was closed and rebuilt into the inn " Zum golden Adler" .

At the end of the 18th century there were 15 properties in St. Johannis. The high court exercised the imperial city of Nuremberg , but this was disputed by the Brandenburg-Bayreuth Oberamt Baiersdorf . The landlords were the "Siechkobel St. Johannis" (Siechkobel with public bar, rectory, schoolhouse, stone clerk's house, church, wooden shoe chapel, 2 half courtyards), the war office (barracks with 7 buildings), civil rifle society (shooting house).

In 1806 St. Johannis came to Bavaria . As part of the municipal edict, the St. Johannis tax district was formed in 1808 , to which Großweidenmühle and St. Sebastian belonged. In 1810 the municipal community of St. Johannis was formed, which was congruent with the tax district. In administration and jurisdiction it was subordinate to the Regional Court of Nuremberg and in financial administration to the Fürth Rent Office . In voluntary jurisdiction, 1 property was subject to the Patrimonial Court (PG) Groß- und Kleingeschaidt from 1821 to 1835 , 3 properties until 1812 and from 1823 to 1835 to the PG Lohe and 2 properties from 1824 to 1848 to the PG Ziegelstein . On October 1, 1825, St. Johannis was incorporated into Nuremberg .

In 1862 William Wilson , the engine driver for the Adler on the first German railway line between Nuremberg and Fürth, was buried in the Johannisfriedhof.

The school building was erected in Adam-Kraft-Strasse in 1882, and another followed in 1913/1914 on Bielingplatz (today's Peter Vischer School ). The Friedenskirche on Palmplatz was built between 1925 and 1928 according to plans by German Bestelmeyer and destroyed in a bomb attack in 1944 during World War II. In 1950, the two-year reconstruction followed.

After the opening of the Westfriedhof in 1880, residential and commercial development began on Sandberg, the area between Johannis- and Westfriedhof. At that time it still belonged to the neighboring community of Wetzendorf , which was not incorporated into Nuremberg until 1898 . The development of Sandberg continued in the years up to the First World War and was essentially completed with the wbg settlement from 1927 to 1932. For the history of Sandberg see also: Sandberg (Nuremberg) #History .
