history

Cadastral map from 1811

Wöhrd was first mentioned in a document in 1273 .

The place was fortified by ramparts and moats since the 15th century. The fortification was created along the medieval ditch through seamlessly built houses, which were windowless at the back and only provided with loopholes. Between the city gate and the Mögeldorfer Tor the fortification was called "Rahm" and between the city gate and Wollentor "the barrier".

Wöhrd was known for its mills and the dyers who lived there . The castle count's village belonged to the office of the fortress and was destroyed by the Nuremberg people during the city ​​war in 1388. The Bartholomäuskirche, built from 1557 on, stands on the site of the chapel donated by Burgraves Friedrich and Johann (built 1396-1418, destroyed in 1552). In 1427 the imperial city of Nuremberg acquired not only the Burggrafenburg but also the place Wöhrd and subsequently set up the judicial office of Wöhrd. In the Second Margrave War in 1552, the city council had the suburb burned down, but after the end of the war rebuilt it as an artisan town and relocated the dyeing trades. During the Thirty Years War , Wöhrd was protected behind the Schwedenschanzen and was largely spared from the effects of the war. In 1796 the place came to the Kingdom of Prussia and was under its authorities until the transition to the Kingdom of Bavaria in 1806 seat of the Justice and Chamber Office Wöhrd and Gostenhof . 1810/18. In the course of the formation of the community, the community of Wöhrd came into being, which was incorporated into Nuremberg in 1818 as part of the truce . In 1825 the Wöhrder churchyard, which previously belonged to the Rennweg “community”, was incorporated into Wöhrd and thus to Nuremberg.

In 1809 a cloth manufacture was established and in 1820 the Lobenhofer cloth factory was founded as the first and only large textile company in Nuremberg. The company was given up in 1876 and acquired by the city of Nuremberg to build a waterworks. With the incorporation, urban development began to increase in Wöhrd. The Cramer-Klettsche Maschinenfabrik (today: MAN ) founded the most important industrial settlement south of Keßlerplatz in 1841, but it was relocated to Steinbühl in 1897 . During the Second World War , the suburb was destroyed by an air raid in 1943 and later rebuilt while largely retaining the layout. Due to its location on the recreational area of ​​the Wöhrder See, which was created between 1968 and 1972, the former workers' residential area has experienced a significant increase in value.
