history

History until 1890

Remains of Wunsiedel Castle in the old town

The place was first mentioned in 1163 as the seat of a ministerial Adelbertus or Albrecht and at that time belonged to the administrative district of Eger ( Regio Egere ). In 1285 Burgrave Friedrich III. of Nuremberg the feudal lordship over the Castle Wunsiedel by King Rudolf I of Habsburg . As early as 1326, Wunsiedel was granted city rights by Burgrave Friedrich IV and confirmed by Emperor Ludwig of Bavaria in 1328 . In the period that followed, Wunsiedel developed into the center of mining in the Fichtel Mountains. Mainly from 1250 to 1450, the city benefited from tin mining and, despite its unfavorable traffic situation, gained great economic importance in the region, in particular through the production of tinplate by the local blacksmith's trade, which however also collapsed at the end of the 15th century as a result of the Hussite Wars . In 1430 the Hussites were defeated by Hans von Kotzau in the battle of the Katharinenberg .

During this time of economic crisis Eger tried to bring the city of Wunsiedel and the surrounding area back under the Bohemian rule of the city of Eger. However, Jobst von Schirnding defeated the Bohemians in 1462 also on Katharinenberg, so that the project failed.

The ongoing crisis culminated in an uprising by the Wunsiedler population during the Peasants' War in 1525 , but neither this nor the Reformation introduced in 1528 could improve the economic situation. The Margraves, especially Margrave Georg Friedrich , who was in office from 1588, and the Wunsiedler Council were forced to improve the situation for the citizens. During this time, educational institutions such as a Latin school came into being and there was a renewed economic boom in the town, which was ended by the Thirty Years' War.

In 1504 Wunsiedel, meanwhile owned by the Hohenzollern family, became part of the Sechsämterland and in 1613 its capital. The officers in Hohenberg , Weißenstadt , Kirchenlamitz , Selb and Thierstein were subordinate to the governor in Wunsiedel (see also the list of officers of the six-district state ). The place developed into the administrative center and many civil servant families settled in Wunsiedel, there was also a superintendent in the city.

Until 1792 the city belonged to the Hohenzollern Principality of Bayreuth and from 1500 also to the Franconian Empire . After the last Margrave Karl Alexander von Brandenburg-Ansbach abdicated , it was under Prussian administration from 1792 to 1806 and was occupied by Napoleonic troops for four years . In 1810, Wunsiedel became part of the Kingdom of Bavaria , where it belonged to the Upper Main District , which finally became part of Upper Franconia in 1837 .

The renewed affiliation to Bavaria led to the fact that after almost 300 years from around 1840 Catholics returned to the city of Wunsiedel, which had been reformed since 1528. After the Wunsiedler Catholics had been looked after by the parish of Marktredwitz for a number of years, the parish church of the Twelve Apostles in the west of the city was finally built and consecrated between 1883 and 1884 at the instigation of the Regensburg bishop Ignatius of Senestrey . The Catholic community grew to over 5,000 members in the period that followed, and especially due to the refugees after the Second World War.

Since the poor transport connections persisted in 1877 despite a railway connection to Holenbrunn , Wunsiedel tried to establish tourism in the region in the 19th century. The rock labyrinth on the Luisenburg was opened up for tourism as early as 1790 and the Katharinenberg was redesigned as a public park. To mark the 100th anniversary of the development of the Luisenburg, a mountain festival was staged in the rock labyrinth in 1890, which quickly established itself and from which the Luisenburg Festival grew, which today attracts around 150,000 visitors a year.

Fires in 1476, 1547, 1607, 1636, 1644, 1646, 1657 and 1731 destroyed parts of the city. After the last major fire in 1834, which destroyed two thirds of Wunsiedel, the city received a classicist townscape.

History from 1890

From around 1890, industrialization began in Wunsiedel, as in many other places in the region, porcelain factories settled here, above all the Retsch company in 1891. The textile industry and the stone processing industry were also increasingly based in the city, for example the Weber & Ott and the Grasyma (united Fichtelgebirgs-Granit-, -Syenit- und Marmorwerke AG). In 1913, the branch line built in 1877 from Holenbrunn to Wunsiedel to Leupoldsdorf was continued. These factors resulted in an economic upswing for the city and a significant increase in the number of inhabitants from 3770 in 1890 to 5850 in 1910.

The First World War caused an increasingly poor supply situation in Wunsiedel, especially from 1916 onwards, which was made worse by numerous summer guests. This led to several uprisings by the local population in 1917 and 1918, the main aim of which was to expel the summer visitors in order to ensure that the locals could be supplied. In October 1918, just before the end of the war, a severe flu wave claimed many deaths in the city area. Furthermore, during the war the city lost 140 inhabitants who had died as soldiers on the fronts.

In 1920 there was another uprising in Wunsiedel, this time by supporters of the USPD . Following the proclamation of a soviet republic in Hof on March 14, a squad of USPD supporters occupied the local police station and called for a street fight against the alarmed resident guard in the inns. Only after long negotiations and the arrival of the Chiemgauer, a force that was deployed by the Reichswehr in unrest, did the state of emergency in the city end.

The following twenties brought the place increasing numbers of overnight stays, which had soon reached the pre-war level and were promoted through targeted beautification measures in the city area and on the Katharinenberg . The Luisenburg Festival was also revived for the first time after the World War in 1924 and operated very successfully in the following years with professional actors and classical theater. However, inflation in 1923 and the global economic crisis in 1928 hit the economy in Wunsiedel hard, so that the city had many unemployed at the beginning of the 1930s. This was also reflected in the political mood in Wunsiedel. At the beginning of the Weimar Republic, the Wunsiedler population was still strongly inclined to the USPD and later especially to the social democracy. By 1932 the NSDAP had already developed into the city's strongest party. This development was reinforced by the connection of the family of Hitler's deputy Rudolf Heß to Wunsiedel, which is why Rudolf Heß was declared an honorary citizen of the city of Wunsiedel on September 6, 1933.

The city was largely spared from the Second World War , only in early 1945 there were isolated air raids, which, however, only caused slight damage in the station area. American troops marched into Wunsiedel on April 19, 1945, ending the war for the city. In the period that followed, the city's population increased by almost 3,000 to over 9,000, compared to the pre-war situation with refugees from Silesia and the Sudetenland.

As a result of the regional reform in Bavaria in 1972 , the old district of Wunsiedel was expanded to form the new district of Wunsiedel in the Fichtelgebirge , which in its boundaries roughly corresponds to the old Sechsämterland and whose district town is Wunsiedel.

Since the suicide of Hitler's deputy Rudolf Hess (August 17, 1987), neo-Nazis have organized an annual Rudolf Hess memorial march to his grave in Wunsiedel. From 1991 onwards, the march was banned several times, but the participants disregarded the prohibitions. The Antifa mobilized nationwide for counter-events, to which initially thousands, in 1997 around 600 people came. In 2004 the Bavarian Administrative Court and the Federal Constitutional Court allowed the “memorial marches”. As a result, around 4,500 neo-Nazis came to Wunsiedel in 2004. Local citizens' groups organized counter-demonstrations. In 2005, the Bavarian administrative courts banned the march due to a new version of the sedition paragraph; In 2009 the Federal Constitutional Court finally confirmed these judgments ( Wunsiedel decision ). On September 23, 2008, the federal government awarded Wunsiedel the title “ Place of Diversity ” for its handling of the neo-Nazi march . Rudolf Heß's grave was closed in July 2011 after the lease had expired, the body was exhumed, cremated and its ashes scattered in order to end the pilgrimages by neo-Nazis.

Nonetheless, they continued their annual Rudolf Hess marches in Wunsiedel and elsewhere (Quedlinburg, Rudolstadt, Spandau). For November 15, 2014, the residents of Wunsiedel transformed such a parade into the “most involuntary charity run in Germany”: Under the motto “ Right versus Right ”, the running route was decorated with satirically printed colorful banners and supported by supporters from the region for every meter walked 10 Euros donated to Exit Germany . At the destination, “winning certificates” were given to the participants, on which Exit offered them help in leaving the right-wing scene.

Incorporations

On January 1, 1975, the previously independent community of Schönbrunn was incorporated. On January 1, 1978, the also independent communities Bernstein, Hildenbach and Holenbrunn were added.

Population development

Between 1988 and 2018 the population decreased from 9801 to 9259 by 542 or 5.5%.

Town twinning

Wunsiedel maintains partnerships with the following cities:

Culture and sights

Local culture and dialect

Wunsiedel is the center of the Sechsämterland , a historical administrative area, the boundaries of which correspond roughly to the boundaries of today's district of Wunsiedel . The culture of the area was shaped by neighboring Bohemia , which is why there are many cultural similarities with the neighboring Egerland and the Stiftland . The dialect of the city and the region is also influenced by the Upper Palatinate, despite belonging to Upper Franconia, and a northern Bavarian dialect is spoken.

The Franconian beer route runs through the town of Wunsiedel, where the Zoigl beer culture is widespread due to its proximity to the Upper Palatinate . In addition, despite the small size of the city, two breweries have been preserved, the Hönicka-Bräu in the city center and the Lang-Bräu in the Schönbrunn district.

Cultural event

Unadorned fountain in Koppetentorstrasse

Every year on the Saturday before Midsummer (June 24th) a fountain festival takes place in Wunsiedel (see main article Wunsiedler Brunnenfest ). According to legend, the festival dates back to an exceptionally dry summer in the 18th century when the wells in the city area dried up. When the wells finally had water again, the citizens of Wunsiedler decorated and decorated them out of gratitude, a ritual that has been repeated every year since then. Traditionally, groups of musicians move from fountain to fountain and play their serenade there. The visitors follow the musicians or they wander off the fountain themselves. In the last few years and decades many other attractions have been added, such as a flea market, live music from various bands and all kinds of food stalls that offer visitors a variety of dishes. The festival has been documented since 1833, but the exact year of origin is unknown. In 2016 the festival was declared an intangible cultural heritage by UNESCO.

The Luisenburg Festival has been taking place on the Luisenburg near Wunsiedel every year from May to September since 1890 (see main article Luisenburg Festival ).
