history

The origin of the quarter is in the 14th century, when a Siechkobel was built there a good way outside the city walls, a place where the sick and lepers had to live. To avoid infection, the imperial city of Nuremberg strictly separated the sick from the healthy population in this way; other Siechkobels that were created during the same period were located in today's districts of St. Johannis , St. Peter and St. Jobst . The four medieval Nuremberg Siechkobels were institutions in which the sick and lepers were cared for, which were numerous in medieval Nuremberg after the Crusades. Today they would be called hospices for the dying.

The Leonharder Siechkobel was assembled with the Church of St. Leonhard and stood in the area of ​​today's nave. The associated farm buildings were built on the site of today's parish hall. Like its counterpart in St. Johannis, the Siechkobel here was only responsible for the sick women.

At the end of the 18th century there were 7 properties in St. Leonhard. The high court exercised the imperial city of Nuremberg , which was contested by the Brandenburg-Ansbach Oberamt Cadolzburg and the Oberamt Schwabach . Landlords were the Deutschordenskommende Nürnberg (1 half courtyard), the Siechkobel St. Leonhard of the imperial city of Nuremberg (1 Siechkobel licensed, 1 school building) and the Nuremberg owners of Grundherr (2 houses), von Haller (1 estate) and von Scheurl (1 house ).

From 1796 St. Leonhard was administered by the Prussian Justice and Chamber Office Gostenhof . In 1806 St. Leonhard came to the Kingdom of Bavaria . As part of the parish edict , St. Leonhard was assigned to the Sündersbühl tax district formed in 1808 . It also belonged to the rural community Sündersbühl , which was founded in the same year . In voluntary jurisdiction, 1 property was subject to the Fischbach Patrimonial Court from 1822 to 1848 and 9 properties to the Großgründlach Patrimonial Court until 1823 . In 1898 St. Leonhard was incorporated into Nuremberg .

In the course of industrialization, St. Leonhard grew strongly. Numerous factories were built in neighboring Schweinau and the workers' accommodation required for this in St. Leonhard. Due to its proximity to workplaces, St. Leonhard has become a popular residential area. But because here, as in Schweinau, there were some unpopular systems, e.g. B. for sewage disposal, the area did not have the best reputation.

Since the 2000s, Leonhardspark has been created as a "small part of the city" on the site of the former slaughterhouse and cattle yard ("close to the city and yet in the countryside"), a newly designed area with apartments for senior citizens, students and trainees, with homes and social buildings and with water basins, green areas and a place for festivals and markets.

The church building

Church and churchyard St. Leonhard from the northeast (October 16, 2005)

The church of St. Leonhard was consecrated on January 25, 1317 with the permission of Bishop Wulfing von Stubenberg, Prince-Bishop of Bamberg (1304-1318), by the Cistercian monk and wandering titular bishop Dytmarus von Gabulon. The initially small chapel initially had many patrons (Maria, Katharina, Margareta, Erasmus and finally Leonhard) until Leonhard prevailed as the patron saint. The church was donated by the vicar of St. Lorenz, Herrmann Schürstab, who came from the patrician family of Schürstab. In order to secure the financing of the church service, the rector of the Lorenz parish council, Pastor Walther, founded the necessary beneficiary foundation on February 18, 1362. This was done with the approval of Bishop Leupold von Bamberg. Immediately after Pastor Walther's death, the Nuremberg Council protested for fear of losing the Siechkobel to the Prince Diocese of Bamberg. Archbishop Leupold had to withdraw the permit in 1363 - shortly before his death. St. Leonhard remained tied to St. Lorenz. On August 18, 1446, almost 100 years later, Pastor Dr. Knörr again applied for a beneficiary foundation, now at the City Council of Nuremberg. This was approved on October 10, 1465 and notarized on October 25, 1483 with the death of the founder Dorothea Mörlin. In this document a rectory next to the church is mentioned for the first time. The parish office was still a vicariate of St. Lorenz.
