history

Local history

The name Thiersheim is probably derived from Heim des Teor (or Tior, animal). In 1182 Thiersheim was first mentioned in a document in a donation of the place to the Benedictine monastery Reichenbach, confirmed by Emperor Friedrich Barbarossa . From 1415 to 1791 Thiersheim was under the rule of the former burgraves of Nuremberg and later margraves of Brandenburg and Bayreuth. The Margraviate of Ansbach-Bayreuth belonged to the Franconian Empire from 1500 and became part of the Kingdom of Prussia in 1792. After four years of French occupation, the place became part of the Kingdom of Bavaria in 1810 . In 1818, with the parish edict, the political community was established, which in 1875 had 1249 inhabitants, of whom 1235 were Protestant. In 1914 Thiersheim was connected to the German railway network via the Holenbrunn – Selb-Plößberg railway. 1986 the passenger traffic was stopped. The line on the Holenbrunn – Selb Stadt section has now been closed and dismantled.

In 2007 a festive historical pageant and a historical market took place as part of the 825th anniversary celebration.
