geography

The Wannenbach, which is a left tributary of the Altmühl , flows through the village . In the north are the so-called Vier Kreuzweiher , which were artificially created between 1701 and 1717. The courtyard garden adjoins to the northeast, behind which is the tub wood . Approx. The Tiergarten forest area is 0.5 km to the north . With new development areas, Triesdorf and Weidenbach have become a closed settlement.

history

Vormargräfliche time

Franconian settlers from Herrieden founded numerous new settlements around 850 in the royal forests of Keuper and Buntsandstein , including Ornbau . The parish Ornbau had four daughter churches, namely Triesdorf, Weidenbach, Hirschlach and Leidendorf . Triesdorf got its name from Tivro, the founder of this settlement. It changed from Tyrolfesbach via Trewesdorf, Trifesdorf, Triebsdorf and Triesesdorf to the current name.

The Roman-German Emperor pawned the village with its 16 farming families to the Barons von Seckendorff ; the exact time of this pledge can no longer be determined. While the neighboring village of Weidenbach was able to develop freely as a large farming village with 154 families, the new owners of Triesdorf limited the settlement of further farmers.

The Heilsbronn monastery acquired goods and half a tithe in Triesdorf from 1282. Because of the tithe, there was often a quarrel with the Seckendorffers. Eight years after the death of abbot Melchior Wunder (1562–78), Heilsbronn property came to the Ansbach margraves. In the 16-point report of the Heilsbronnian Vogtamt Merkendorf from the year 1616, 1 farm, 2 half farms and 3 goods are given for Triesdorf, which were subordinate to the Merkendorf administration office. The properties of other landlords are not listed. The Fraisch held the Brandenburg-Ansbach caste and city bailiff's office in Windsbach . In 1654, the Ansbach margrave Albrecht bought an area from the Heilsbronn monastery, on which the zoo was laid out.

Triesdorf as a margrave residence

In 1600 the Seckendorffers had to sell their Triesdorf headquarters. The number of permanent buildings that Margrave Georg Friedrich I acquired on September 18, 1600 by purchasing the Triesdorf estate from Wolf Balthasar von Seckendorff was small. In addition to Seckendorff Castle, the guarantee register attached to the letter of purchase names a church, a mill, a messenger house and some buildings on the estate. The von Seckendorff family's moated castle, newly built in 1454, consisted of a modest castle-like complex of a few buildings grouped around a courtyard. A drawbridge connected the simple gatehouse with Merkendorfer Strasse. The gate system is still preserved and known as Seckendorffer Castle .

In the following two centuries the margraves built Triesdorf into a princely residence in the style of the time and gave the place its unusual appearance for a Franconian village. In addition to the castle buildings, the summer refuge for the entire court society also included numerous outbuildings for courtiers, servants and farm workers as well as facilities for the military, gendarmerie and post office, as well as those that served for diversion, such as the large one surrounded by a brick wall (red wall) Tiergarten for the margraves' hunting party or the cross ponds, on which you could be driven around in Venetian gondolas. Baroque gardens, stately avenues and a theater rounded off the leisure facilities at the Ansbacher Hof.

Bloom time under Carl Wilhelm Friedrich and Christian Friedrich Carl Alexander

Triesdorf experienced an upswing under Carl Wilhelm Friedrich (the Wild Margrave ) and his wife Friederike Luise von Prussia . Before he came of age, his mother Christiane Charlotte von Württemberg ruled on his behalf. After he came of age, he was an absolutist ruler from 1723 to 1757. This also required extensive construction work in order to create an adequate environment. In addition to buildings in Ansbach and Gunzenhausen , he wanted to emulate his model Louis XIV in his summer residence and create a miniature version of Versailles . The most important preserved buildings of his reign are his residence, the red castle, and the old riding house.

After his death, his son Christian Friedrich Carl Alexander took over the reign of the Principality of Brandenburg-Ansbach. Because of his passion for hunting, he was nicknamed the savage . Triesdorf offered him a wide field of activity. In addition to the falcon hunt, which he pursued in the nearby Altmühltal , the summer residence was surrounded with a red brick wall under his rule. The game multiplied rapidly within the walls through feeding and tending, so that there was always enough hunting available. Officially his seat of government was Ansbach, but because of his love of hunting he stayed in Triesdorf most of the time.

After Alexander's first wife Friederike Caroline von Sachsen-Coburg-Saalfeld died on February 18, 1791 in Unterschwaningen , where the Margrave had "deported" her, he left Triesdorf on May 19 of the same year for Great Britain. On October 30, 1791, in Lisbon , he married Lady Elizabeth Craven , daughter of Augustus Berkeley, 4th Earl of Berkeley and widow of the 6th Baron Craven, who had recently died. The wedding with Lady Craven triggered a lot of building activity in Triesdorf. Even at the time when the lady was the margrave's playmate, several buildings were erected for her in Triesdorf. The first, her welcome present, was Villa Sandrina.

One of the innovations, which she inspired the loyal margrave to carry out, was the transformation of part of the Triesdorf park into a romantic landscape garden with English characteristics and the establishment of her own residence as an English summer residence in the middle of the park, which was redesigned to suit the lady. Since the elongated, sober building of the Villa Sandrina had found no grace in the eyes of the lady, new orders were given to the Triesdorf building industry with an "English system" on May 19, 1787.

As a floor plan from 1787 shows, Lady Craven's summer house consisted of a single-storey complex with a rotonde as the center. Long wing structures leaned against this central body on both sides, with low greenhouses in front of them. The western wing was used to accommodate the utility rooms, while the eastern wing was converted into a comfortable apartment for the lady. What was new about this design was the direct connection between living and sleeping areas with orangeries and a winter garden. In addition to a library, the living wing contained a series of secret cabinets, anteroom and cloakrooms, a bedroom with passageways to the winter garden and at the end of the escape a billiard room as a lounge for the more intimate circle. In this external form, the summer house in Lady Craven's landscape garden represented a type of building that, with its deliberately rural design, was already at home on the island as ornamented farms in the ideal English gardens around the middle of the century.

This sensation, playing with the innocence of nature, was also reflected in the reshaping of the landscape surrounding the summer residence in Triesdorf. With the moving backdrop of the mixed forest in the background, on the edge of the Spesserweiher, which was deepened to a bathing lake, there was a thatched bathing hut for the Englishwoman, who was enthusiastic about nature. Marble stairs led down from the bathing area to the water. A milk house nearby offered his refreshments. A shepherd's hut and a little moor's house completed the idyll. An artificial island in the middle of the bathing lake supported a pavilion . A wooden mock bridge could not be missing in the scenery as a picturesque component. A circular cattle shed in the forest was part of a poetry-glorified agriculture. The entrance gate to the Lady's English garden was designed as a ruin.

What the lady liked made her an object of hate in the eyes of the impoverished villagers. The subjects had to bring 15,000 carriages of building material for the English facilities in slave labor . The margrave spent 1,000,000 florins a year on his girlfriend. In the end it was enough for the government and the building inspectors of the margrave - they refused to pay out further funds. The fundraising by the margrave also increased hatred of him and the countess. The margrave achieved income, among other things, by renting auxiliary troops to the British king for his colonies in America. You were involved in the northern campaign under General Howe in New York and others under the command of General Cornwallis also used in the Battle of Yorktown .

In nominal terms, Karl Alexander was chief of the Franconian district dragoon regiment and nominally in command of the 1,644-strong Franconian army , of which 1,183 men returned home in 1783. The margrave rented further troops to Holland . With the income he repaid the national debt, which amounted to five million guilders when he took office. When he abdicated 30 years later, the debt level was only 1.5 million guilders.

On January 16, 1791, Karl Alexander sold his principalities to Prussia in a secret treaty . The trigger for this step was the lack of support from his ministers, who protested against him and no longer wanted to provide funds for the building projects of the margrave and the hated lady. The contract was arranged by Minister Karl August Freiherr von Hardenberg , who had been active in Ansbach since 1790 . In accordance with the agreements in the treaty, Prussia paid the margrave an annual annuity of 300,000 guilders as compensation and incorporated the two principalities into his dominion as the administrative area of Ansbach-Bayreuth . So these Franconian regions became Prussian. On December 15, 1805, the Principality of Ansbach fell to France in exchange for the Electorate of Hanover and passed to the Kingdom of Bavaria in 1806 . On December 2nd, in Bordeaux , Karl Alexander signed his abdication. He went to England as a private citizen with his second wife and devoted himself to horse breeding .

From economy to educational institution

A certain striving for autonomy was part of the essence of the baroque state residence in the country. For this reason, a special Triesdorf building authority was set up, which was a subordinate department of the Ansbach court building authority, but had a special position in terms of personnel and organization. It was headed by a Triesdorf construction inspector who often took on the duties of building management (accounting), a magician who was entrusted with materials and tools, a farm mason with his journeymen who were responsible for the construction, a well master, a carpenter and a carpenter . Then there were the builders, carters and brickworkers. The special organizational position of the Triesdorf building industry was shown in a separate building budget, in the independent accounting and in a separate file inventory, which was kept in the Ansbach building registry from 1750 onwards. The situation was similar with other departments of the margravial administration, such as forestry and gardening, kitchen management and road construction.

The manorial economy (estate) on the grounds of the summer residence was built on the basis of the former Seckendorff estate and has been located on the site south of Weidenbacher Strasse since it was relocated in 1701. The foresighted measures of Carl Friedrich Wilhelm and his successor allowed the dairy to outgrow its original purpose of being the supply base for the rural court. Margrave Carl was not a mercantilist , but at an early age committed himself to the teaching of the Physiocrats , who wanted to build the country's prosperity on the basis of productive agriculture . The preference of the peasant economy over the trade was already evident in the first years of the Margrave's reign. A number of Carl's ordinances dealt with the promotion of agriculture.

The margravial horse breeding was particularly promoted in Triesdorf. It was initially set up there on a provisional basis in 1730 by order of the prince, by converting a number of cattle stalls and barns into horse stables. The margrave was also interested in cattle breeding. Julius Meyer reported that "he had a breed of extraordinarily large and beautiful cows from East Friesland come to Triesdorf" in order to improve the quality of the local cattle.

Margrave Alexander continued his father's work. By importing breeding bulls from the Bernese Oberland, he succeeded in raising "a batch of strong, permanent cattle, which was known and valued as the Triesdorf breed" in Triesdorf. Triesdorfer Vieh was traded in Berlin and Paris. Like his father, Alexander also promoted domestic horse breeding. He had breeding horses come from England and set up foal farms and stud stations in Triesdorf, Colmberg and Röshof. The Ansbach horse market on the Zirkelwirtspeunt enjoyed lively visitors and was known beyond the borders of the principality. The quality of the Ansbach horses speaks for the fact that in 1801 there were not only 262 mares from the Triesdorf stud farm but also 19 from the Triesdorf stud farm.

The last margrave was also interested in sheep breeding. With the intention of making the local textile industry competitive, Alexander had sheep raised with particularly fine wool. A flock of merino rams and sheep was bought in Spain. The Spanish breeding sheep farm founded by Alexander was taken over by the subsequent Prussian government. All these measures by the two princes, aimed at increasing the general prosperity, showed great success.

After Triesdorf was sold by the last margrave, the place was a Prussian state domain between 1792 and 1806. The agriculture was leased. After the battle of Jena and Auerstedt and the Prussian defeat, Triesdorf fell to the Kingdom of Bavaria. Under the Bavarian government, Baron von Mardefeld was director of the Royal Economy Triesdorf until 1821 . Even at the time of the last margrave, he was stable master of the Triesdorf main stud. His successor was Georg Adam Gutmann , who had been economics rendant (administrator) in Triesdorf since 1806. From 1832 to 1844, Councilor Herrmann Keim, the sponsor of Triesdorf's tree cultivation, ran the estate. He was replaced in 1844 by state property administrator Kraus (until 1850), who had also been the first director of the newly founded Royal District Arable School from 1848.

In 1826 the estate staff consisted of 18 people, an economist (manager and treasurer), an economist (estate inspector, master builder), an overseer, a cowherd who was also a night watchman, a hallway (field keeper), a maid, an ox boy , a cattle keeper, six day laborers and four gatekeepers to guard the gates in the Red Wall, the Weidenbacher, Merkendorfer, Ornbauer and Ansbacher Tor, of which the gatehouse, which is an inn today, still stands.

As a structural highlight of this time, the manor was given a stables for 56 horses in 1710, which was extended to the west in 1763 as a representative end of the manor. Two manor barns were built in 1733 and 1736. Another stately half-timbered barn (field barn), which still stands, was built in 1741 near the old Seckendorff castle.

The Triesdorfer Rinderzucht and the Triesdorfer Tiger

The Ansbach margraves were on friendly terms with the Dutch royal house of Orange . The black and white Dutch-Frisian cattle impressed Margrave Carl Wilhelm Friedrich because of their size and milk production so much that in 1740 he bought six cows from Holland to cover the milk needs of his farm in Triesdorf. Soon more cows and a breeding bull were bought and distributed to farmers in order to spread the breed in Franconia.

Until then, the Franconian farmers had kept cattle of the old red cattle breed, small, robust animals that served as draft animals and deliverers of manure. The cattle that the margrave wanted to force on his peasants, however, were exactly the opposite of the red cattle; it was not adapted to the harsh climate and the poor food base in this country and was not suitable as a draft animal due to the misalignment of the limbs. After just a few generations, the animals had degenerated through inbreeding.

Therefore, in 1757, Margrave Carl Alexander had his stable master Baron von Mardefeld buy black and white high cattle (Bernese piebalds) from western Switzerland. These heavy animals were better suited for work and fattening than the Dutch breed. The crossing of the Swiss Triesdorfs breed into the red cattle herd was so successful that in 1780 a further 24 cows and a bull from the Swiss cantons of Bern and Friborg were brought to Triesdorf. Von Mardefeld had his two most beautiful crossbred cattle painted in oil around 1770. The paintings are still hanging in the Red Castle, the Triesdorf animal keeping school. Characteristic of the Triesdorfer breed is the spotting (tiging) of the animals, after which the Ansbach-Triesdorfer cattle is later also referred to as the Triesdorfer tiger . In the second half of the 18th century, the Triesdorf crossbred cattle could be seen on all cattle markets. They were not only found in Nuremberg and Mannheim , but also in Strasbourg and Paris , as their meat is considered to be fine-grained and tender. Under Prussian rule, in addition to farming, milk was also leased. It was not until 1839 that the Triesdorf economy took over the dairy and cheese dairy again on its own and employed a master cheese maker from the Swiss canton of Unterwalden. The cattle epidemic enzootic leukosis, which occurred for the third time, resulted in the loss of the entire Triesdorf cattle population of 40 animals in 1800. After a decision by the Prussian War and Domain Chamber, von Mardefeld was immediately sent to Switzerland to buy 50 new cattle. In the Bavarian era, people first resorted to lowland cattle, and later Simmentaler was also used. The crossbreeding continued until 1890, so that finally nine breeds were united in the Ansbach-Triesdorfer cattle.

Repeated outbreaks of foot-and-mouth disease , lung disease and poisoning by the autumn crocus represented a constant threat to the breeding work. When a cattle disease became known from the area , the four Triesdorf gates were closed so that no one could go in or out. By 1844 the number of cattle in the Triesdorf district cattle breeding facility increased to 132 animals (1 bull, 43 cows, 18 calves, 56 calves and 14 oxen). That year, 52,000 liters of milk (≈ 420 liters per cow), 399 pounds of butter and 253 loaves of cheese were produced. There are now more cows than people in Triesdorf.

The beginning of the agricultural training in Triesdorf

Soon after the dissolution of the Triesdorf garrison (since 1806 there were two squadrons of the 2nd Chevauxleger regiment taxis in the Triesdorf castles, around 250 men), it was proposed that an agricultural educational institution should be assigned to the royal estate, as there were enough vacant buildings. However, the cavalry regiments were still in the field camp in Triesdorf for several years and practiced on the shooting range, so that the Weidenbach community tried to get a garrison again until 1865, which was also temporarily successful.

There have always been agricultural interns in Triesdorf. They were sons of landowners or noblemen. However, concrete plans to set up a school did not come about until 1843. Count Seinsheim from the Munich Ministry of Finance asked the Royal Government of Middle Franconia to submit an opinion on relocating the Agricultural Central School in Schleissheim to Triesdorf. Director Herrmann Keim listed numerous reasons against the school being relocated: the castles were completely shabby, some buildings were rented out for life, many parts of the area were leased on a long-term basis or some could not be used because of reservations for the royal court. So it is a considerable construction effort to make. Keim cited the poor soil conditions in Triesdorf as the most weighty reason not to move. At best, he therefore advocated a provincial agricultural school in Triesdorf. It was set up in the White Castle in 1848 under the administration of the state estate, Kraus, as the Royal Arable School .

Today's agricultural schools and the agricultural training center in Triesdorf developed from this district arable farming school.

administration

Triesdorf was in the Fraisch district of the Oberamt Ansbach . Towards the end of the 18th century there were 10 teams in addition to the stately homes. From 1797 to 1808 the place was under the judiciary and chamber office of Ansbach .

As part of the municipal edict, Triesdorf was assigned to the Weidenbach tax district formed in 1808 . It also belonged to the rural community Weidenbach , which was founded a little later .

tourism

The Markt Weidenbach and the district Triesdorf with its baroque buildings of the summer residence and the baroque gardens benefit from the nearby Franconian lake district . In recent years the community tried to take advantage of this and to improve the village image in order to become more attractive for tourists. Various renovation measures were carried out as part of the village renewal.

After the beaver was resettled in Franconia, Triesdorf has the only beaver nature trail in Germany, Balduin Biber , with display boards and a beaver biotope. After demonstrations by the schoolchildren and students, the Triesdorf- Triesdorf Bahnhof cycle path was laid out, which is part of the Meister (r) Ade (l) bar cycle path - on the road with the stork in the Altmühltal , leads past the Triesdorfer Storchenhorsten and is equipped with information boards. The following other cycle paths, which open up the lake district, lead through Triesdorf: the Tore-Türme-Schlösser cycle path (Triesdorf - Weidenbach - Ornbau - Arberg - Bechhofen - Merkendorf - Wolframs-Eschenbach - Windsbach - Mitteleschenbach - Haundorf - Muhr am See ) , the cycle path Ansbach- Altmühlberg (Ansbach) along the B 13 to suffering village and then through Triesdorf Ornbau from Ornbau than Altmühlberg cycle path along the Altmühlberg lake to Kelheim .
