Alfons Berger took people back on a historical walk through Kranzberg.
Kranzberg
- Alfons Berger is something like the walking history book of the Kranzberg community. He fully lived up to this reputation on a guided tour through the town. During a walk he showed the individual houses of the craft village, but above all the most sacred areas of the Kranzberg archive.
In the old schoolhouse, Alfons Berger shows on the map how well known Kranzberg was once with the district court that belonged to Lower Bavaria. Today's B 13 was still the border between the districts in the 16th century. “Only the Erdingers were even more powerful than us,” says Alfons Berger. While walking through the town he showed the former courthouse, which is popularly known as the fisherman's inn. The new building was probably built because there was not enough space in the castle.
The original of a picture of a court hearing from the year 1612 hangs in the Germanic National Museum in Nuremberg. This painting is a rare testimony to how the case law took place more than 400 years ago. Over time, the Kranzbergers not only lost the location of the court, but also the once magnificent castle. This was destroyed by the Swedes in 1632 in the middle of the Thirty Years War. Various drawings are reminiscent of the building that stood on the Pantaleonsberg.
“Archeology cannot be done entirely without imagination,” said Berger, referring to the various pictures of the castle. The participants of the somewhat different guided tour in the attic of the old school building got particularly exciting insights into the historical research of Kranzberg. Here all the closets are full of folders about clubs and events in the community. "You have to collect, collect and collect again," says Berger, "because that's the only way to build something." The former 2nd mayor and chairman of the Friends of the Bronze Age Bavaria Museum can say something about almost every house in the center of the village. "Kranzberg used to be a craft village and the tailors' guild in particular was widespread," explained Berger. A detour to the discovery of the century in 1998 with the gold treasure from Bernstorf rounded off the historical tour.The history of this extraordinary Bronze Age fortress still raises countless questions for historians. The new Kranzberger Chronik, which tells countless stories from several centuries, has been created from all collections of what has already been researched. During a walk through the town, Alfons Berger whetted the appetite for the Heimatbuch, which is printed with a print run of 1000 copies. The chronicle will be officially presented on September 14th.which is printed with an edition of 1000 copies.
