history

Until the 19th century

The foundation of Wilhermsdorf probably goes back to the Carolingians in the 9th century. Regil de Willehalmesdorff was first mentioned in a document from 1096. Over time, Wilhalmsdorf became Wilhelmßdorff or Wilhelmsdorf and later Wilhermsdorf. The place name has the personal name Willihalm as a defining word, which can be seen as the founder of the place.

In 1566 Wolff von Wilhelmsdorf sold the manors Wilhelmsdorf and Neidhardswinden to the brothers Schutzbar called Milchling . Heinrich Hermann von Burgmilchling, born in 1536, was the most important and later sole owner of Wilhelmsdorf. In 1569 Heinrich Hermann was elevated to the status of imperial baron by the emperor. With the death of Wolff von Wilhelmsdorf in 1569, his family died out.

The Reformation , which was implemented in the region from 1528, was only carried out in Wilhermsdorf in 1572 after the previous rule of the church patronage died out in 1569 (with Wolf von Wilhermsdorf) and the barons of Milchling took off.

Heinrich Hermann rebuilt the burned down Veste Wilhelmsdorf as a stately moated castle with the name Veste Burgmilchling. Heinrich Hermann von Burgmilchling the Elder died in 1592. In 1593 his son Heinrich Herrmann von Burgmilching the Younger took over the rule. According to tradition, he was a kind lord of the castle and a friend of science. In 1597 Emperor Rudolf II granted him the privilege of minting his own thalers. In 1612 Wilhermsdorf was raised to rule with its own blood jurisdiction and thus received the status of an imperial direct state. The imperial knighthood rule was assigned to the canton Altmühl in the Franconian knight circle . The former stately office building is located west of the main church and is now used by a brewery and as a country inn.

During the Thirty Years' War , the mercenary and military leader Mansfeld marched from Wilhermsdorf to the Hoheneck office in October 1621 . Gustav Adolf of Sweden stayed at the fortress Burgmilchling in 1632. In 1656 Heinrich Hermann von Burgmilchling the Younger died without descendants, after his death Wilhermsdorf changed hands several times. Between 1659 and 1667, the place belonged to Georg Hannibal von Egk , an exile from Austria . Around this time the place also became the new home of numerous religious expellees, primarily from Lower Austria.

In 1667, Count Wolfgang Julius von Hohenlohe-Neuenstein acquired the rule of Wilhermsdorf and Neidhardswinden. Under his rule, the traces of were the Thirty Years War eliminated and Wilhermsdorf received in 1671 by Emperor Leopold I , the market law awarded. Between 1672 and 1693 he had the fortress Burgmilchling demolished and then a residential palace with outbuildings and a palace complex was built. He gave the Jews resident in Wilhermsdorf permission to operate printing works. Jewish writings printed in Wilhermsdorf were sent all over the world, for example an edition of the Ma'assebuch published in 1673/77 . In 1689, after the death of his wife, the Duchess of Holstein, Wolfgang Julius married the young Countess Franziska Barbara von Welz , who came from an Austrian family of exiles . In 1698, Wolfgang Julius died at the age of 76 after nine years of marriage. The marriage remained childless. In 1701 the 35-year-old Franziska Barbara married Count Philipp Ernst zu Hohenlohe-Waldenburg-Schillingsfürst. Franziska Barbara stayed in Wilhermsdorf, and under her rule Wilhermsdorf experienced a heyday when she realized the building projects planned by Julius Wolfgang.

Wilhermsdorf main church

After her death in 1718, Franziska Barbara was solemnly buried in a magnificent coffin in the crypt of the main Protestant church. After the death of Philipp Ernst, the Wilhermsdorf and Neidhardswinden fiefs fell to the two underage children. In 1733 the son of Philipp Ernst took over the rule of Wilhermsdorf, he too had no descendants. His nephew, Count Philipp Ferdinand zu Limburg, Bronchorst-Styrum took over the rule. Due to his high debts, he was forced to sell this property in 1769 and sell it to the Fulda privy councilor Baron Erasmus Wurster von Kreuzberg (for the high sum of 360,000 guilders), who was married to the Nuremberg patrician daughter Dorothea Marie Kressenstein . Her son, Baron Johannes Friedrich Wurster von Kreuzberg, received an annual pension from the fief and died in Nuremberg in 1839, the last of his family. The administration of Wilhermsdorf had already been taken over by the Bavarian state (also sovereign in Ansbach).

Knight house

The knightly canton of Altmühl moved its office from Rügland to Wilhermsdorf in 1703 and established its new office to the east of the church on the market square around 1720. This administration building is still called the Ritterhaus today.

At the end of the 18th century there were 130 properties in Wilhermsdorf. The high court and the village and community rulership exercised the rule Wilhermsdorf . The landlords were the lordship of Wilhermsdorf (castle, office building, hospital, rectory, schoolhouse, poor house, 3 inns, tavern, shepherd's house, 112 houses) and the knightly canton of Altmühl (3 houses).

In 1791 the neighboring margraviate of Ansbach passed to the Kingdom of Prussia . The governing minister Karl August Freiherr von Hardenberg tried to round off the area by buying up rulers, but only partially succeeded. He increased the pressure on the territories of the imperial knighthood through imperial interventions and military actions, which for the most part were contrary to imperial law. Apart from protests and lawsuits in Vienna and the notices there, including execution orders, nothing could be obtained, let alone enforce these execution orders. Almost all files in the archives and registry of the canton Altmühl were confiscated on November 22, 1796 by a government commission from Ansbach and taken to Ansbach in order to deprive the imperial knights of important documents for the conduct of the litigation. Soldiers were also deployed here. This had been preceded by Prussian patent applications in the knightly lordships and imperial cities bordering Ansbach-Bayreuth in February and March 1792.

In 1796 the place came under Prussian sovereignty, on December 15, 1805 it went to France for a short time with the Principality of Ansbach in exchange for the Electorate of Hanover and was incorporated into the Kingdom of Bavaria in 1806. At the same time, the immediate rights of the imperial knighthoods were withdrawn.

In 1806 Wilhermsdorf came to the Kingdom of Bavaria . As part of the municipal edict , the tax district Wilhermsdorf was formed in 1808 , to which Denzelmühle , Fallmeisterei , Lenzenhaus , Walkmühle belonged. In 1813 the municipality of Wilhermsdorf was formed, which was congruent with the tax district. It was subordinate to the Cadolzburg Regional Court in administration and jurisdiction and to the Cadolzburg Rent Office in the financial administration . The voluntary jurisdiction and local police, however, were held by the Wilhermsdorf patrimonial court until 1839 . On October 1, 1842, Wilhermsdorf was assigned to the Markt Erlbach regional court and the Neustadt an der Aisch rent office ( renamed Neustadt an der Aisch tax office in 1920 ). From 1862 Wilhermsdorf was administered by the Neustadt an der Aisch district office (renamed the Neustadt an der Aisch district in 1938 ). The jurisdiction remained with the district court of Markt Erlbach until 1879, from 1880 to 1959 district court of Markt Erlbach , from 1959 district court of Fürth . The community originally had an area of ​​5.944 km², which was then enlarged in 1958 by the incorporation of Unterulsenbach to 8.069 km².

The ruling judge Gottlieb Christian Eberhard Wunder took over the jurisdiction of Wilhermsdorf and Buchklingen in 1817 on behalf of King Ludwig.

The oldest club in Wilhermsdorf is the shooting club from 1846; it arose in a wave of associations being founded in the 19th century. In the years 1878/1879, the residential palace was demolished after the state auctioned the uninhabited and neglected building to a private person. In 1895 the Zenngrundbahn reached Wilhermsdorf.

20th century

In 1907 the place was connected to the power grid.

The Johanneszweigverein was founded in 1907 to support the children's school.

In 1930, the Wilhermsdorf – Unteraltenbernheim stagecoach connection was discontinued.

In June 1928, the teacher Adolf Meyer (1895–1966) founded a local NSDAP group in Wilhermsdorf, was its first leader and was elected to the first National Socialist councilor of Wilhermsdorf on December 8th. From May 1932 Meyer acted as second mayor until he was transferred to Neustadt an der Aisch in autumn 1933 so that his son could attend secondary school there. According to an assessment by the mayor and later district administrator Heinrich Sperber in March 1947, Meyer probably saved several Wilhermsdorf citizens from being sent to the Dachau concentration camp. During the Nazi era , Adolf Meyer was the speaker of the Fürth city councilor Franz Jakob in Wilhermsdorf at NSDAP events in 1932. The Jews were expelled and the market declared itself “free of Jews” in December 1938. In 1963 the Catholic parish built a church. In 1964 a new school building was inaugurated on the Steige. On July 1, 1972, Wilhermsdorf was reclassified from the Neustadt an der Aisch district to the Fürth district as part of the regional reform in Bavaria . As part of this regional reform, some places south of Wilhermsdorf were incorporated.

In 1976 an indoor swimming pool was built on the road to Unterulsenbach.

Jewish Cemetery

Graves in the Jewish cemetery in Wilhermsdorf, 2011

A Jewish cemetery in Wilhermsdorf has existed on the road to Siedelbach since at least the middle of the 15th century . An illustration from 1842 shows a tombstone with the year 5212 in the Jewish calendar , that would be 1452. The oldest legible tombstone dates from 1690; from that year a death register was kept, which was updated until the last burial on April 8, 1936. In 1865 the cemetery was expanded. Citizens from the neighboring communities of Markt Erlbach and Dietenhofen also lie in the 39.5 ares large cemetery. Today there are still around 500 tombstones.

Incorporations

1958 Unterulsenbach was incorporated. On January 1, 1971, the previously independent community of Dippoldsberg was incorporated. On July 1, 1972, parts of the dissolved Katterbach community were added. Kirchfarrnbach followed on January 1, 1978.

The town hall is a stately residential and administrative building built under Franziska-Barbara between 1717 and 1718. This Consulentenhaus was extended between 1719 and 1720 by a wing at the rear, on the upper floor of which there is a baroque ballroom . It was privatized by the Kingdom of Bavaria in 1811 and used as a craftsman's house. In 1939 the market bought the house to use it as a town hall. Between 2000 and 2005 the house was renovated and expanded.
