  • Collection Concept Pfalzmuseum Forchheim
    Collection Concept Pfalzmuseum Forchheim Preamble The Pfalzmuseum Forchheim is located in a former fortified palace of the prince- bishops of Bamberg which dates from the 14th century. In order of precedence it was the second residence in the principality. The name "Kaiserpfalz" is based on the erroneous assumption that the building is located on the site of a former imperial palace in Forchheim for which there is documentary evidence. The building itself, with its important wall paintings from the 14th and 16th centuries, is the most important exhibit of the museum, which was founded in 1911. After extensive renovation work in the recent past, the museum now houses four museums under two roofs: the Upper Franconia Museum of Archaeology, the Municipal Museum, the Traditional Costume Museum and the Red Wall Heritage Museum in the neighbouring bastion. The museum - along with the town archives – serves as the "memory of the town" in order to preserve, pass on and convey history and stories for future generations with the exhibits. I. Collection concept 1 Who runs the museum and who is responsible? - The collection structure The Pfalzmuseum Forchheim is owned by the town of Forchheim. The contact person and person responsible is the museum director Susanne Fischer M.A.. 2 Why a collection concept? - Purpose and aim The collection concept first takes stock of the existing collections, then points out perspectives and strategies for the future, and finally presents criteria that support the targeted future development of the collection, always taking into account the sustainability requirements and limited space capacities that are inherent in every collection.

  • Processions in Bavaria – Very Special Festive Traditions
    Place to be Processions in Bavaria – very special festive traditions People gather and line up in rows. Together they make their way along paths and across fields – and use their processions to give thanks to the saints for their gifts. Catholics in Bavaria still follow these traditions in line with their ancient customs. No two processions are the same: Depending on the region and its history, people hold their own distinctive parades – individual yet always highly traditional. Light Procession in Pottenstein: Once a year the cliffs are lit up The procession is led by altar boys carrying the cross and various flags, and followed by religious believers and a brass band. Behind them come the priest and the prayer leaders, with members of the local community bringing up the rear. “The festival follows a clockwise route through the old town. Fires are then lit on the hillside and the procession moves in that direction,” explains Thomas Bernard, director of the Pottenstein Tourist Office. Eventually the whole town is lit up – now as in days gone by. On the Feast of Epiphany, when the sun goes down, people parade through their historic old town – surrounded by more than 700 fires. They are celebrating their Festival of Light, a procession of Perpetual Adoration. It dates back to the year 1759. At that time, Bishop Adam Friedrich von Seinsheim decreed: In the archbishopric of Bamberg – which covers Pottenstein – each day prayers were to be said in one of the communities. The festival was originally held on St. Bartholomew’s Day on 24 August.

  • Burgen Wehrhaft Und Wunderbar
    Burgen wehrhaft und wunderbar Echt. Stark. Oberfranken!Oberfranken. Altenburg Bamberg Weithin sichtbar ist die Altenburg ein Wahrzeichen der Bischofsstadt Bamberg. 1109 erstmals erwähnt, gelangte sie im 14. Jh. in fürstbischöf- lichen Besitz und wurde zur Nebenresidenz des geistlichen Landesherren ausgebaut. Ihre Blütezeit erlebte die Burg im frühen 16. Jh. als Lieblings- aufenthalt des Fürstbischofs Georg Schenk von Limburg. Seit 1818 ist der Altenburgverein Eigentümer, er ließ zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts ein neues Hauptgebäude errichten. One of Bamberg’s landmarks, the Altenburg was first mentioned in 1109 and became a residence of the prince-bishops in the 14th c. Since 1818 it has been owned by the “Altenburgverein“, an association dedicated to its preservation. Hundshaupten Vermutlich im 13. Jh. errichtet, wird Hundshaupten urkundlich erstmals 1369 als Besitz der Herren von Wiesenthau genannt. Mehrfach von den Nürnbergern und im Bauernkrieg 1525 zerstört und beim Wiederaufbau verändert, ging die Burg 1613 an das Bamberger Benediktinerkloster Mi- chelsberg und 1661 in den Besitz der Familie von Pölnitz über, die Hunds- haupten zu einem wohnlichen barocken Landsitz ausbaute. 1991 schenkte Gudila von Pölnitz den Gesamtbesitz dem Landkreis Forchheim. Die reprä- sentativen Räumlichkeiten im oberen Stockwerk beeindrucken durch ihre nahezu vollständige Ausstattung und die umfangreichen Sammlungen von Möbeln, Gemälden, Waffen, Fayencen bis hin zu religiöser Volkskunst. The castle was probably built in the 13th century, but it was mentioned for the first time in 1369 as the property of Wiesenthau. It was destroyed several times in 1525 and altered afterwards. In 1613 it became the property of theB- amberg Benediktiner monastery Michelsberg and in 1661 it became the pro- perty of the Pölnitz family who made undshaupten a baroque country estate.
