history

Castle chapel

The manor 1701

After the Landshut War of Succession in 1504, in which the Nuremberg King Maximilian I provided arms and received extensive Bavarian property in the east of the city, Thalheim became the property of the free imperial city of Nuremberg. There is a castle in Thalheim that was awarded the Middle Franconia District Monument Prize in 2005 . In place of a building destroyed by the floods between 1709 and 1713, a two-storey hipped roof building with a polygonal stair tower was erected on behalf of the Nuremberg patrician Siegmund Elias Holzschuher according to plans by the Nuremberg master builder Johann Ulrich Mösel . It was restored after a major fire.

Immediately next to the castle is the Protestant church of St. Peter and Paul. Unusually, it was built over a stream. A hammer master named Peter Tetzel had a chapel built next to his manor in 1424. The church has belonged to the castle owner since then and to the Panzer family since 1909. In the church there is a beautifully designed stucco ceiling (1727), a mansion chair on the gallery with the Holzschuher coat of arms (year 1754) and a pulpit from the 17th century. In the Gothic choir with ribbed vaults, a rococo-style altar with flower and chain decoration was added in 1754. The church is designated as a monument (D-5-74-128-57),

On January 1, 1972, the previously independent Thalheim was incorporated into the municipality of Happurg.
